Apparently that does not please you, your contrived protests not withstanding. From what I just saw, she is tied (within the margin of error) in the states that matter. Just wait until the sugar high wears off and she is forced into a press conference. Your only hope to keep Trump from a second term, is Trump, not Kamala.

brenthutch 444 #19 August 17, 2024 “OTB found that Harris’s (92%) numbers are far worse than Trump or even Biden. Using the same whole staff methodology, the Trump turnover was 72%; Biden was 77%. Lat year in October 2023, the Atlantic magazine called her office management “top-to-bottom dysfunction.” Previously, Axios had reported that staffers exited driven by “burnout and apprehension to being labeled a ‘Harris person.’ Andrzejewski says Harris’s office seems to be an abject chaos with no loyalty. “If a small business had a high turnover rate of 92%, you would either say, there was something wrong with the employees, here it looks like something wrong with the person (Harris) in charge.”” https://floridadaily.com/vp-kamala-harris-staff-had-a-92-turnover-rate/ And She is supposed to bring everyone together?

"And 31 percent of those White House "A-Team" jobs have turned over more than once, the study by the Brookings Institution shows. "It's historic, it's unprecedented, it's off the charts," the study's author, Kathryn Dunn Tenpas, told NBC News. "I've never seen this kind of turnover before." In just 32 months, President Donald Trump's rate of change has surpassed "all of his predecessors who served four-year terms," she said." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Deadpool Wolverine movie has a great bit about quote veracity. Having a 14 year old pick the film adds variety, but many of the gags he didn't get.

Hang on..... Just what I was thinking and those same countries have less drug problems, homelessness, education systems, etc, etc. But the US has AR-15s, trump, declining life expectancy, higher prison populations,oh! the latest USSC approval of political corruption and bribing of politicians. Merica, four more years of trump and all the wasteful spending on elections won't be necessary anymore. No more elections, what a concept. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
