She spent yesterday on the telephone for most of the day. I read that yesterday that she called the party leaders in all 50 states. That would take me three days.

She's renamed her YouTube channel, that's the where to go for video: https://www.youtube.com/@kamalaharris

This is her video on her channel from two hours ago:



To play it, start it, and then move it up to 5:47. This was one of those live videos which don't start at zero.

I've named this thread General Election 2024 Harris vs Trump

He’s not very far from just abolishing taxes altogether. Just saying anything to try to get votes. He’s increasingly desperate.

 

[fooferdoggie]

And here is what he is talking about tonight. I’m not surprised his campaign is trying to limit his appearances.

sounds like some envy is going on here or he swings both ways.

 

[MT15]

He also swore at the Catholic Charity dinner the other night, IIRC. Losing inhibitions.

Donald Trump’s campaign may be failing to reach thousands of voters they hope to turn out in Arizona and Nevada, with roughly a quarter of door-knocks done by America Pac flagged by its canvassing app as potentially fraudulent, according to leaked data and people familiar with the matter.

The potentially fake door-knocks – when canvassers falsely claim to have visited a home – could present a serious setback for Trump as he and Kamala Harris remain even in the polls with fewer than 20 days until an election.

The Trump campaign earlier this year outsourced the bulk of its ground game to America Pac, the political action committee founded by Elon Musk, betting that spending millions to turn out Trump supporters, especially those who don’t typically vote, would boost returns.


But leaked America Pac data obtained by the Guardian shows that roughly 24% of the door-knocks in Arizona and 25% of the door-knocks in Nevada this week were flagged under “unusual survey logs” by the Campaign Sidekick canvassing app.

The Arizona data, for example, shows that out of 35,692 doors hit by 442 canvassers working for Blitz Canvassing in the America Pac operation on Wednesday, 8,511 doors were flagged under the unusual survey logs.

The extent of the flagged doors in America Pac’s operation underscores the risk of outsourcing a ground-game program, where paid canvassers are typically not as invested in their candidate’s victory compared with volunteers or campaign staff.

America Pac denied it was experiencing that level of actual fraud in Arizona and Nevada and declined to comment on reporting for this story.……

As the sky darkened on the National Mall in DC last Saturday, evangelical pastor Ché Ahn addressed the thousands of worshippers gathered there and issued a decree.

Trump, Ahn said, was a figure akin to the biblical King Jehu, and “Kamala Harris is a type of Jezebel, and as you know, Jehu cast out Jezebel”.

“I decree in Jesus’s mighty name, and I decree it by faith,” said Ahn, “that Trump will win on November the fifth, he will be our 47th president, and Kamala Harris will be cast out and she will lose in Jesus’s name.”


The Bible story Ahn invoked is extremely violent. In it, Jehu throws the Phoenician princess Jezebel from a window. She is then trampled by horses, her corpse left to be eaten by dogs.

Ahn did not get into the particulars of this story at the DC event, but he likely didn’t need to: in his world of charismatic and evangelical preachers, pastors, self-styled prophets and apostles, and their many followers, the story of Jezebel is a key narrative.

The rally on the mall on 12 October, advertised under the name A Million Women, was billed as a gathering for women to wage spiritual warfare against changing gender norms in the US. Drawing tens of thousands, the event showcased the ability of leaders from the New Apostolic Reformation, a growing movement on the Christian right, to mobilize followers – and ply them with militant political rhetoric.

Experts fear their spiritual message has the potential to spur real-world political violence, especially if Trump were to lose the November election…….

A new poll has revealed that more than one-third of Americans agree with Donald Trump’s warning that undocumented immigrants in the US are “poisoning the blood” of America.

A significant 34% of the respondents to the poll, conducted by the Brookings Institution and Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI), agreed with the statement previously made on the election campaign trail by the former US president and Republican party nominee for the White House, Donald Trump.

“One-third of Americans (34%) say that immigrants entering the country illegally today are ‘poisoning the blood of our country’, including six in 10 Republicans (61%), 30% of independents, and only 13% of Democrats,” a summary of the annual poll stated, which surveyed more than 5,000 individuals from 16 August to 4 September.…..

Dan Soza has seen the harsh realities of Donald Trump’s immigration policies up close and so he is alarmed that many Latino voters in Saginaw, Michigan, do not take seriously the former US president’s threats of mass deportations.

As a child welfare officer in Saginaw, Soza places young unaccompanied refugees in foster families and watched the Trump administration’s separation of children from their parents at the Mexican border in 2018 with alarm.

He said the cruelty of that policy, and the former president’s threats against refugees legally in the US, should serve as a warning that Trump might do what he says.

“A lot of people who are Latino or Hispanic – whether it be in Saginaw, Michigan, or in the country – when they hear him say those things, they don’t think he’s talking about them,” said Soza.

“What really worries me is that people don’t remember their history. This has happened before. We’ve seen mass deportations before and when it happened American citizens were deported.”

For all that, support for Trump is rising among Latinos, who account for about 15% of voters, across the US. A recent Siena poll for the New York Times showed that nearly one in 10 Hispanic voters – people with roots in Spanish-speaking countries – who backed Biden in 2020 will vote for Trump this year.

Support for Democratic presidential candidates among Hispanic and Latino voters has been sliding for years. Barack Obama won about 70% of their votes. Polls give Harris just 56% support.

The Siena poll identified Harris as losing ground among Hispanic voters over immigration, the economy and crime. Meanwhile, Trump has strengthened his backing even as his anti-immigrant rhetoric has become more threatening – and, with some Hispanic voters, because of it…….

Enough of the flocking religionists. This is in no way related to religion. It is politics, period.

Oh, no. Of course Trump can’t be talking about them. Talk about willfully blind.

It seems like when I watched this clip that Fox cut the Criminal off after he made that reference to Arnold's ... . Well.

OK, pray that person's suit holds up. Or perhaps not pray, but do please wish that their suit holds up.



See how this video reads into our presidential election? A nice tight metaphoric fit.

I'm going to say this, very few of those whatever they are would actually sting that person who's working under that whatever it is there. It just looks like they would.

But I don't understand what that person is doing there, so maybe they would sting them. Maybe they ought to sting them.




See how easy it is to deal with proper pronoun usage.

He is playing to the ignorant an uneducated. He knows he can get anything he wants from Trump. The same with Putin

I think Putin also knows he can get anything he wants from Elon. Here's my advice to anyone think of playing footsie with Putin. Round up a couple dozen king cobras and black mambas. Don't feed them for a few days. Throw them into a pit. Agitate them with a long poll. Strip naked. Jump into the pit. You should fare about as well with that as you will getting involved in any way with Putin.

 

[LA - L.A.]

for me. He thinks that he is invincible. Of course, he is wrong.

They always do and none of them ever learn anything from those who have fallen before them.
