I think journalism would be almost dead if it wasn't for ProPublica.
Interesting. Producer of the Power rangers is backing Harris.

i don't know about you folks, but i'm tired of the relentless u.s. politics 365 days per year, 24 hours per day.

We're tired of it, too, but unfortunately there is nothing more important in the world today.

isn’t politicizing death in a desperate attempt to get elected, pathetic?

Just like what Trump did.
Some dude

I think it still beats out getting elected and then causing mass deaths by politicising science. See "Covid, Trump's response to"

See article on this site today: Covid, Chyna market, probably.

Springfield, Ohio, parents ask Trump and Vance to stop using their child as a 'political tool'.
Aiden Clark was killed last year when a minivan driven by Hemanio Joseph crashed into his school bus.

i’m thinking a martini is pretty important now… :)

Yes this weirdo actually said he “preferred” that his child had been killed by an older white man.
wallace
A father grieving for his dead son is not a weirdo that would be Trump and Vance using the death for their political agenda.
Cards fan
Yes, it's really weird when people wish their kid's death hadn't been used to fuel racist conspiracy theories targeting immigrants. Who wouldn't want their kid's death used in such fashion?

Hillary is suddenly very vocal and active again publicly and in media.
Now hinting at the significant role she will have in a Harris administration.
Good thing there won’t be any such thing as that.
and the Biden betrayal making more sense every day. But Kamala just can’t win either. One more time with Gavin?
Blacklabel
so what is Kamala when she does the same thing as mentioned in the article?
the father could say he wished his son’ s death wasnt politicized, agree.
Did he need to say he wished an old white man had been the killer?
wallace
Because right-wing extremists are hounding the family they want to be left alone.
Cards fan
You're more critical of what a grieving man says, than the guy who wants to be president of the United States. Bless.
Blacklabel
It did need to be said. because it brought national media attention to the actual more important issues related to illegal and legal immigration going on there that the media previously refused to cover.
seen the video of the Town Manager from March admitting he has heard such complaints from the townspeople?
ABC lied in saying he said he never heard.
wait until the Trump rally there soon, media gonna go nuts.
Cards fan
No. Lies didn't need to be told. If you need to make stuff up to "get your point across," you didn't even have a point to begin with.
Then talk about that. Not the lies the right makes up.
What complaints?

Well, don't expect any hard questions from Oprah, maybe she'll get a car out of it, but for those housewives who want to snuggle under a hot blanket while drinking a cup of hot chocolate, more power to them. I guess it wouldn't hurt, but will it help? Doubt it.

She absolutely played the race card.

So he shouldn't address concerned Jewish voters after what happened to them earlier this year? Smh...

So yea, he should address them.

Nope. It is an honest way of showing America the consequences of Trump overturning Roe v Wade and who to elect in the upcoming election if you want to avoid unnecessary death and suffering.

Wow, just wow...the mental meltdowns just get worse each day....
"Former President Donald Trump appeared on a taped segment of Fox News' "Gutfeld!" Wednesday, complaining once again that the ABC News debate moderators bothered to fact-check him while falsely claiming that the debate audience "went crazy" for his performance. Host Greg Gutfeld chose not to fact-check Trump over the fact that there was no debate audience whatsoever, per the rules set by ABC News and agreed to by both campaigns.
"They didn’t correct her once,” Trump complained, referring to Vice President Kamala Harris. “And they corrected me, everything I said, practically. I think nine times or 11 times. And the audience was absolutely — they went crazy.”

How many times has Trump waved at a nonexistent crowd? Now he's claiming crowds are clapping for him that aren't there...
His brain is toast...he won't last until the end of Sep...
The phone has to be ringing off the hook at Nikki Haley's house...

Yup.
Now contrast that with the hundreds of times when they were there. Can't even count.
Seems sharp as ever and laser-focused, he's got a lot to focus on
She can hang with the Democrats. and Liz.

Wow, you saw that NONEXISTENT crowd too? May want to seek medical help for that...
LMAO...what a failed excuse....thanks for admitting he's so senile he sees phantom crowds...

The audience….watching at home.
Being super obtuse is a bad look.

Wow, can Kamala get any more lame? She couldnt even handle the gentle tongue bath of the Black Journalist Association. Will she start every answer with, "Well, I come from a middle class family....."
John
Her family wanted people to know that she died because of the anti-abortion laws enacted by religious extremists.
The father of the son killed in a traffic accident didn’t want Trump using his son’s death to spread racism and further his lies.
So there’s that difference.

Bingo!
“You know what I’d do if there was a shark or you get electrocuted? I’ll take electrocution every single time. I’m not getting near the shark. So, we’re going to end that, we’re going to end it for boats, we’re going to end it for trucks.”

Thats NOT what he meant and everyone who’s seen the clip knows it.
Then stop doing it.
Cards fan
Not reports* Unverified claims. The same type Trump lied about and you praised him for lying, whilst criticizing a grieving father for the way he worded his anger over rightwing liars using his son's tragic death for their own racist ends. Very classy.
Blacklabel
So the people watching at home are not called “the audience” in media speak?
how would you know what someone “meant”?
and I wasn’t speaking to you.
plasticmonkey
All complaints from local nutjobs must be taken seriously. Especially if they are unverifiable and help keep the racist MAGA fearmongering narrative going.

This sounds interesting - Team Harris has some great supporters - Putin, Iranian hackers, Dick ( WMD,s ) Cheney. They are the good guys, trust them.
plasticmonkey
How does Trump know this at-home audience went wild?
He’s a delusional narcissist.

Which is actually pretty funny, because in claiming Putin supports her, you're doing the very thing you're saying we shouldn't do: Trust them. Well done.

Because he saw their reactions online afterwards and read the reactions in the numerous articles published about how shady the moderators were.
“Nielsen’s U.S. National TV measurement is the source of truth for the media industry. We provide our clients with a deep understanding of what audiences are watching – when, where, with who and how often”
audiences. At home.
bass4funk
I think it's more like the other way around. Lol
I never said, nor admitted to such a thing, nice try.
Then Kamala shouldn't flip-flop or keep saying the same thing over and over and over again.
That will never happen, so no worries.

The superior intelligence will see right through it ;)
Still they are pro Harris supporters. Pretty funny.

Ahhh, Trump being clairvoyant, was able to look through the camera and see all of the "audience" at home joyously clapping for him...
Being super-deluded is even worse...but it is hilarious...thanks for the belly laugh...
Cards fan
Putin certainly isn't.
Strangerland
When the person who has died has died as a result of politics, and their family wants to use them as an example to show the horrors of the Trump Abortion Ban, no it's not pathetic, it's patriotic.
Strangerland
The right is trying to sane-wash Trump's cognitive decline into it being anything other than the cognitive decline we all see first hand.
bass4funk
I think that would be the left's visceral problem.
Repulsive? Yeah, this admin is worse actually.
And more people died on Biden's watch, let's not forget that as well.
Dunno, seem, very confident. Trump/Vance 55 interviews and in some of the most hostile venues and just going anywhere and everywhere. Harris/Walz 11 interviews, friendly ONLY venues and what we now know from ABC, the moderators were only allowed to ask certain questions, giving Kamala sample questions, not good at all for them
Ok, focus, you are going way off on a tangent there...
I would consider it not just a net negative, I would if Trump wins, the left should make mental healthcare affordable and accessible in their states.
lincolnman
My eyes are fine - I don't see NONEXISTENT crowds like you said you do. Really, see a doctor - or mental health specialist... Tell Trump to see one too....
He did...it's in black and white above...
Flip-Flop? Life begin at conception? EVs fantastic? RFK Jr a Liberal Lunatic?
I see you've flipped on your previous post where you said "never say never"... Just one of many...
Strangerland
He also apparently saw all sorts of reports right after the debate where he beat Kamala 90/10, 92/8, 99/1 and stuff like that! He's really good at making up... er... remembering.. number, right?
Grandpa "Abe Simpson" Trump definitely isn't sinking into cognitive decline, right?
John
One wonders just how think one would have to be to believe this racist lie and to CONTINUE to push it after it has been disproven?
Trump supporter-level thick it seems.
bass4funk
Then if that is what the left needs to do, do it, check your government healthcare provider.
More lib hysteria
Is that the only thing that libs worry about? The border, the economy, illegals...Yeah, I think a bit more concerning
I didn't, but nice try.

There is video all over X of people leaving Trump's last rally half way through.

Just so hilarious seeing softball questions tossed at Harris.
I actually feel bad for Democrats--they booted her when she ran for president the first time, and now they are having her forced down their throats.

Exactly, she can't and won't because the word salad would come out, or when confronted with this video, she would end the interview and walk off.

Fox has been doing it to Trump for years. They also lied for him after the 2020 election, and they are sane-washing his comments now.
Sorry, are we supposed to feel bad for your tears?
Give her all the softballs in the world for all we care of Republican tears.
Strangerland
Because half the stadium was out at the toilet at once, right?!
Last week Trump had a half empty stadium of 2500. Harris filled a stadium of 12500, and kept them until the end!
I guess Democrats are better able at holding it in?
lincolnman
Maybe Trump should invite his pick for NC Governor when he visits the Israeli-American group...
"Mark Robinson, the controversial and socially conservative Republican nominee for governor of North Carolina, made a series of inflammatory comments on a pornography website’s message board in which he referred to himself as a “black NAZI!” and expressed support for reinstating slavery, a CNN KFile investigation found."

Some dude
he was on their top rated show just last night for a full hour. The highest rated show in all of America last night in prime time. On Fox.
The most popular newspaper in the UK is, by most counting method, The Sun, which is known as third rate toilet paper and is for all intents and purposes not sold at all in one major city because of something that happened decades ago.
Now, confusing "popular" with "good" is an easy mistake for the mental midgets of MAGA to make, but it's not always the case.
The fact that Fox "news" (by their own admission, that's a misnomer) is so popular is not an affirmation of Trump. It's a damning indictment of the USA.
bass4funk
It wasn't and if you watch the entire event online, that didn't happen. The entire video of the event is there to view. Funny, how the left won't challenge that particular part.
No, it wasn't, they had to turn people away.

Without asking any questions?

Yes.
Ok, what does the UK have to do with the US? What's your point? Der Spiegel is one of the most informative magazines in Europe.

Trump speeches are good for a giggle and provide entertainment and mirth. As well as a goldmine of educational activities: how to spot a lie, how to spot an inconsistency / contradiction, how to spot propaganda, how to spot someone on whom there is damaging kompromat...

Trump looking jaded in his rallies recently. He can’t maintain focus either these days. He slurs a lot now and has episodes where he mumbles. He can sometimes still spring into action like he did about people eating cats and dogs in the debate but it’s very patchy now.
Got to give him credit for maintaining high energy up to hitting the wall a few years ago.
