One of Trump's main manipulators is Elon X. Musk, the father of electric cars, Musk is still juggling his control of Trump with his allegiance to the CCP and the Kremlin. Which one Trump, Xi or Putin will offer Musk the most money/power to allow Musk to increase his personal fortune so Musk's will rival that of Putin's ?

I was impressed by how Michelle Obama articulated some very progressive ideas at the DNC.
But my question is why isn't Harris doing this and instead campaigning with the Cheneys?
With the combination of the Gaza protest vote and progressives drifting away Harris and the Dems have to be on the watch.
They want an immediate embargo on weapons sales to Israel. They will not get that with Trump.

"Republican Donald Trump appealed to Muslim voters in Michigan...."
But doesn't he say he wants to deport them?
And making pledges as well as promises again which he won't keep:
"He would end conflicts and bring peace to the Middle East."
"He would reverse economic decline in the Detroit area and nationwide."
Yeah, lots of concepts - no plans at all!
Besides, never forget that he literally called Detroit and other cities a dump.

The polls are obviously being used to manipulate the voters this year. Earlier they all asked if Joe Biden's age was a concern, and he is only 3 years older than 78-year-old-man Trump. Now that the age difference is a full generation that question doesn't gat asked at all, and he is far worse than Biden ever has been at 81.

Trump is not gonna create one automobile jobs, American need to transition from cars to.mass transit, imagine all these Japanese driving cars , instead of their daily subway commute a nightmare
Data
Harris surging, Trump crashing.
List of Trump former cabinet members who reject him;
Mike Pence — Trump's Vice President
“It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year.”
Mark Esper — Trump's Secretary of Defense
“Trump is not fit for office because he puts himself first and I think anybody running for office should put the country first.”
James Mattis — Trump's Secretary of Defense
“Trump's use of the Presidency to destroy trust in our election and to poison our respect for fellow citizens has been enabled by pseudo political leaders whose names will live in infamy as profiles in cowardice. Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people - does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us.”
John Kelly — Trump's Chief of Staff
“Trump is a person that has no idea what America stands for and has no idea what America is all about. He's a person who admires autocrats and murderous dictators. A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law.”
Mick Mulvaney — Trump's Chief of Staff
“I am working hard to make sure that someone else is the nominee.”
Mark Milley — Trump's Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
“Trump is a wannabe dictator. We don't take an oath to an individual. We take an oath to the Constitution, and we take an oath to the idea that is America - and we're willing to die to protect it.”
John Bolton — Trump's National Security Advisor
“There will be celebrations in the Kremlin if Trump is elected in November. Putin thinks that he is an easy mark. Donald Trump wants Americans to treat him like North Koreans treat Kim Jong Un. Get ready.”
Cassidy Hutchinson — Trump's Assistant to Chief of Staff
“If Trump is elected president again in 2024, I do fear that it will be the last election where we're voting for democracy because, if he is elected again, I don't think we'll be voting under the same Constitution. ”
Stephanie Grisham — Chief of Staff to Trump's Wife Melania
“I did not vote for Trump in 2020.”
Sarah Matthews — Trump's Deputy Press Secretary
“Trump has a history of making unhinged comments. He helped incite a deadly insurrection on our nation's Capitol.”
Anthony Scaramucci — Trump's Director of Communications
“Trump's going to make things rougher for people. He has already said he's going after his adversaries using the Department of Justice. When someone's telling you they're going to flex and be a dictator on day one and go after their adversaries, this is against the 200+ year experiment of America.”
Alyssa Farah Griffin — Trump's Director of Strategic Communications
“The reason that I cannot in good conscience endorse Donald Trump this year also has to do with the fact that he is walking away. Not just from keeping faith with the constitution on January 6th, but also from a commitment to fiscal responsibility, a commitment to the sanctity of life, a commitment to American leadership in the world.”
Bill Barr — Trump's Attorney General
“I have made clear that I strongly oppose Trump for the nomination and will not endorse Trump. One of the reasons I'm against Trump as the nominee is I don't think he's going to move the country forward.”
HR McMaster — Trump's National Security Advisor
“It would be terribly divisive for our country for Trump to run again.”
Believe them - they know him best.
bass4funk
The illegal ones, he absolutely does.
I disagree, I think he could play a mediator, this is where his skills comes in as a negotiator, Ukraine will not win this war, Russia will keep losing soldiers, the best thing to do is to get involved, make some concessions and see what can be done by being proactive with both parties.
The first thing you need to do is focus on US natural resources that we already have, you can’t just focus on EV only especially when the majority of Americans don’t want them.
Because it is a dump, this is what liberal policies have done to that city and as long as the people vote Democrat, it’s not going to get better and it will remain a dump.

As much as I dislike Michelle Obama, she at least is smart, but she knows her limits and she hates politics, she would never run and she doesn’t have to, her and her husband are some of the richest politicians ever (the power of Capitalism, love it) she doesn’t need or want the headaches, I don’t blame her. Now why she would campaign with Cheney is just beyond me, but I guess it further shows that her goal is to piss off more people, not to win anyone over and that Beyoncé bait and switch yesterday did not help her case.
True
The Dems are committing political suicide.
PTownsend
Trump interpreters and cultists might actually believe this, but that says a lot about them, fraudsters admire their upper caste conmen.
Data
Like this illegal one?
"Elon Musk worked illegally on a student visa and faced concerns he would be “deported” when he started life in the United States, a bombshell report revealed Saturday.
The billionaire South African-born immigrant also admitted in an email that he “had no legal right to stay in the country” when he ditched his studies and founded a company which he later sold for more than $300 million, The Washington Post reported. His brother was also here illegally, committing what one expert called “fraud upon entry.”

As much as I dislike Michelle Obama,
Gosh, wonder why.

they found the most outdated individual poll they could. Trump Is now winning the aggregate of all national polls in RCP.

"I called up my Meemaw in Nowhere, MS and she said she's voting for Trump. So Trump's gonna win".

its a shame that when your first sentence is untruthful no one reads that super long cut and paste you did after that.
literally no one is saying Harris is “surging” right now, no one.
bass4funk
Absolutely.
Huh? Libs are just funny, one thing about Trump, he is a man of his word and hawkish when it comes to the border, so yes, if you’re illegal, you should worry about a Trump Presidency.
Some dude
one thing about Trump, he is a man of his word
What word is that, "covfefe"?
Blacklabel
no it’s called Real Clear Polling, the most accurate poll aggregator available.
Trump is winning the national popular vote now. In the average of all polls, not just “Reuters”. And it’s been trending in his direction for weeks now.
Meemaw.
Peter Neil
if he is a man of his word about the border, why has this administration expelled 4-5 times as many people as trump did when he was president? an absolute, undeniable fact.
the phrase ‘a man of his word’ and trump are laughable in the same sentence.
the man accomplished nothing as president except sow division and chaos. he’s a megalomaniac narcissist who lies about everything. even things that don’t matter, he lies.
Data
You did.
Watch one of her campaign rallies - the ones where no one walks out or is left stranded.
bass4funk
They let in over 10 million illegals, so they allowed 5 times more illegals than they sent back. Less than 1% were sent back.
That is an absolute, undeniable fact.
According to the left.
He did, over 280 accomplishments undeniable and indisputable
DaDude
Disgruntled former employees whining about their former employer. What kind of World are we living in?
Blacklabel
i did. Entire groups of people walked out while she was talking. both after Springsteen “sang” and after it was clear Beyonce wouldn’t.
The internet is ablaze with people duped by the promise of a free Beyonce concert that never happened.
Blacklabel
Who has spoken for Kamala recently who is not a billionaire? It’s just Kamala and her rich friends blowing all the campaign money.,
Barack, Michelle, Beyonce, Jay Z, Tyler Perry, Sam Jackson?
im from the middle classssss and worked at McDonald’s just like youuuuu.

Good. Watch more...
Debunked.
Sure, all those far-right forums - full of far-righters that attended...ROFL..
So where's Chachi signing autographs next - a lumber yard?
Jimizo
Can you think of any other presidents with such a long list of former employees talking about lack of the intellect, knowledge, understanding, honesty and competence from the president?
I honesty can’t. Perhaps you can help out?
bass4funk
Yes, John Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Grant had a lot of opposition from their military console, and very unflattering things were said about them as well, so Trump is not the first to be hit with these labels. He, just as he always does, just shrugged it off.
Bob Fosse
By whining about it at every interview, rally, public appearance and tweeting constantly about it for the past 4 years.
Yeah, he really shrugged it off.
Blacklabel
“President Trump was just endorsed by Imam Belal Alzuhairi and other prominent leaders of Michigan's Muslim community — the most expansive, diverse coalition in political history.
"We, as Muslims, stand with President Trump because he promises PEACE — NOT WAR!"
yeah, I can see why the ringleader is deflectively posting about “Chachi”
Blacklabel
is she not a….singER?
its a bait and switch to get people to show up,
lincolnman
Indeed - Harris is surging...
She's sharing the stage with uber-popular stars and gaining millions of new votes...
Her opponent, when allowed by his handlers out of his basement, makes unhinged comments about an athlete's genitals, cosplays at McDonalds, and has to listen to his former "best-ever" officials trash him as a "fascist"...
Then there is his train-wreck interview with Joe Rogan that just buries him before Nov 5th;
"Joe Rogan could be seen laughing as he pressed former president Donald Trump for specifics on how the election was stolen in 2020.
“I won by like,” Trump said, “I lost by like…I didn’t lose.”
Rogan could then be seen laughing."
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/joe-rogan-trump-podcast-stolen-election-b2636115.html
Notice the "I won"..."I lost"..."I didn't lose" all in one sentence...
Major dementia symptom...no wonder they want to hide him away...but it's too late - all voters are seeing the Trump mental meltdown in real-time...
Jimizo
Yes, it’s a well known fact that singers don't use figurative language in speech or in their lyrics.
You really nailed that one.
bass4funk
Which he did, until Pelosi pulled funding.
Since Obama depleted the military he had to spend to build it back up and then Covid came, a lot of financial resources went to that.
Yes, when you break the law of any sovereign nation, you should. Mexico wouldn't allow it, but we have to?
For 22 million, I don't think that is a bad idea, but to overhaul it and get rid of private health insurance, no.
bass4funk
Commenting on a topic is different but not giving a bleep, especially when you have the win at your back
Absolutely.

the final end of Biden and Obama and the Clintons influence and/or supposed legacy. Killed by joy and vibes Kamala.
desperately waiting for election day, yep.
Bob Fosse
So when maga attend a 45 rally it was totally unreasonable for them to expect he would talk?
How would you rate their level of disappointment when he just danced silently for 40 minutes then went home?
itsonlyrocknroll
The democrat campaign team strategy started out with a masterclass in organization that did Kamala Harris proud.
Yet seems to have run aground, wheels wobbling, running amok.
It is truly bewildering less than ten days from the ballot, these hollow "celebrity endorsements" are taking center stage.
Kamala Harris was brutally heckled, it was excruciatingly cringeworthy.
Harris needed to run policy policy policy up the flag poll.
Yet succumbed to repetition, glib sounding insincerity.
sunfunbun
Dum dum on his last legs, as he heads to prison.
Reminds of 2020 when the GOP and Fox were all Red wave and got tsunami'd by Biden. Same thing this year...media keeps the ratings up with questions of silly undecided voters, but it'll be a Kamala win, no doubt about it.

And that is what she did. Unlike Trump who answers every question with tariffs, tariffs tariffs.
Norm
It used to be 289, according to one of the tandem guys. How did Trump lose 9 of them?
Also, what are his top five legislative accomplishments?
Joe
Grandpa Trump needs a shower and a new nappy.
He’s melting down on his niche blog and being laughed at by the non-cult electorate.
Joe
It seems wiping oneself without assistance no longer qualifies as an “accomplishment.”
Next up at risk: Walking down stairs and closing an umbrella.
Joe
Seriously? From the backer of “I’m Looking at it very seriously and I’m announcing a plan in 2 weeks (it’s been 9 years)”?
The “concepts of a plan” guy?
The “it’s going away and it’s going away fast” guy?
Doh, what a fool…

"Michelle Obama, the popular wife of former President Barack Obama, is the latest example of the Democrats leaning on star power in the final days of the election cycle."

This is just another reason why Kamala will lose—desperately asking rich celebrities to say they support you does nothing to convince people (with common sense) to vote for you—it’s clear she has nothing meaningful to say to the American people, which is a sign of her incompetence—
( “maybe it's not incompetence, it's dishonesty—that would explain why whenever she speaks without a teleprompter she doesn't make sense”
Note: I should've added in one of my previous posts that it's not just incompetence or dishonesty—it's a combination of both. )
Joe
And who’s your guy got?
Jake, the crapto-criminal Paul?
Ted,” kiddie-diddler” Nugent?
And a whole host of recording artists saying “Keep my songs out of your mouth”
Sounds like someone is having a tizzy over actual popular support…
Blacklabel
“Joe” sounds desperate and quite upset that everyone on the stage is mote popular than the actual candidate who is losing.
Blacklabel
The relevant Joe (Biden) says:
“Biden is telling advisors the election is "dead and buried" and called Kamala an "innate sucker"
Obama and everyone who forced him out in the coup? “Suckers and Jacka$$es”
so as I said long ago, Newsome and others were not going to wait until 2032 for their turn.
and Hillary wasn’t having Kamala be the first woman President.
you don’t eff with a Biden! lol
Attilathehungry
Harris is becoming more and more strident in her rallies. No more talk of what can be, unburdened by what has been. No more joy. Just anger and bitterness. And scolds like Michelle Obama berating Americans for daring to vote against Kamala. Not a winning strategy at all.
At this point in 2020, Joe Biden was up more than 5% in the popular vote, and he barely squeaked out a win. Today, Harris and Trump are tied. And the momentum is all moving towards the GOP. Look for a Trump victory going away.
bass4funk
Is that the main reason why Biden was kicked out?
That would be Kamala in a nutshell
Most of the people took it in stride
