Let’s roll.
It’s official now.
Time to nut up or shut up.
the swamp bubbles over with anticipation
I’m from Milwaukee, it was a great town in the 50’s and 60’s, great factories, great paying jobs and then, the 70’s came and it became a rust belt
All the manufacturing left…
Scum…
It has picked itself up somewhat, never fell to Detroit lack of standard’s, which Detroit, use to be the Paris of the Midwest and now it looks like Dresden after the bombing, but its leadership is all
Black racists now so it will
Catch up soon
Was about to
Declare bankruptcy a few months ago, not sure how it prevented that, .was a population of about 1.6 million, now 650,000…
White flight.. or anyone with a brain
The neighborhood I grew up in, lower middle class, neat tiny houses, lots of kids, overnight the ghetto took it over and they sold the house I grew up in for one dollar, now it’s a parking lot, for Master Lock co
Who announced this year, they are finally closing up and moving to
Mexico… wonder if Trump can twist a few arms there.
Lots of murders in the ghetto, drive byes,
Don’t make a wrong turn, it may be your last
this is the story non stop across the country
This
I hope and pray Trump does not try to
Take a middle ground on all the important issues , like closing the border and sending the millions back, among others
Because his base will turn their back and not vote for anyone
I think it’s not the time to
Become St Trump,
Personally, I want him to destroy the left and Biden, destroy them
“After Assassination Attempt, Trump Rewrites Convention Speech from Hot Denunciation of Biden and Democrats to a Kinder, Gentler Call for Unity
—Disinformation Expert Ace
My first thought when I read this was “Oh no, here it comes.”
But I can see a big upside, too.
Trump gave an interview to Byron York:
TRUMP: ‘I’M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE’: Former President Donald Trump can’t stop thinking about the way he moved his head in the split second before a gunman, intent on assassinating him, pulled the trigger during his speech in Pennsylvania Saturday evening…
“The most incredible thing was that I happened to not only turn but to turn at the exact right time and in just the right amount,” Trump said Sunday afternoon in a talk aboard his Boeing 757 as he flew to Milwaukee for the start of the Republican National Convention. “If I only half-turn, it hits the back of the brain. The other way goes right through [the skull]. And because the sign was high, I’m looking up. The chances of my making a perfect turn are probably one-tenth of 1%, so I’m not supposed to be here.”
“I had to be at the exact right angle,” Trump said at another point in the conversation, which included the New York Post’s Michael Goodwin. “Because the thing was an eighth of an inch away. That I would turn exactly at that second, where he [the gunman] wouldn’t stop the shot is pretty amazing. Pretty amazing. I’m really not supposed to be here.”
…
I said that watching the video, it appeared that after being shot, surrounded by agents shielding him from any further threat, Trump actually wanted to return to the microphone to continue speaking. Indeed he did. “I wanted to keep speaking — I wanted to keep speaking, but I just got shot,” Trump said with a little laugh. “It’s a very surreal experience, and you never know what you’re going to do until a thing like that happens.”
It was obvious that Trump was still processing what had happened. Who wouldn’t be? It is something that will stay with him for the rest of his life. At the moment, he is grappling with the feeling that something very big has changed in his life and in the presidential race. When I asked him, “Does this change your campaign?” he immediately answered, “Yes.”
Trump explained that before Saturday night, he had finished the speech he planned to give later this week at the Republican convention. “I basically had a speech that was an unbelievable rip-roarer,” he said. “It was brutal — really good, really tough. [Last night] I threw it out. I think it would be very bad if I got up and started going wild about how horrible everybody is and how corrupt and crooked, even if it’s true. Had this not happened, we had a speech that was pretty well set that was extremely tough. Now, we have a speech that is more unifying.”
…
The idea is to reframe the intense conflicts Trump has engaged in during his years in national politics. “I’ve been fighting a group of people that I considered very bad people for a long time, and they’ve been fighting me, and we’ve put up a very good fight,” Trump said. “We had a very tough speech, and I threw it out last night. I said I can’t say these things after what I’ve been through.”
…
“I’d love to achieve unity if you could achieve unity, if that’s possible,” Trump said. “There are many good people on the other side. … But there are also people who are very divided. Some people actually want open borders, and some people don’t want open borders. The question is can those two sides get together? Can sides where you have people who want to see men play in women’s sports and you have a side that doesn’t understand even the concept of allowing that to happen [get together]?”
Trump knows it’s a long shot. “It has an impact,” he said of the assassination attempt. “Now, maybe the impact will wear off if the other side gets nasty.” It seems quite likely that that is exactly what will happen and the fighting will resume, even though both Trump and President Joe Biden are talking about unity.
He also said, “I’m supposed to be dead.”
Ben Domenech warns against Trump seeking a “false unity” with the left and the Uniparty.
I can understand why this would be the impulse — the man came a millimeter away from dying in a field less than seventy-two hours ago. But in pursuing a “unity” message — something the nation’s media elite always runs to when they fear being blamed when things happen for which they bear responsibility — Trump is about to make several mistakes. First, he’s sacrificing the moral high ground he now occupies. Second, he’s catering to his critics, who have been beating the drum that Trump himself, [blame-the-victim] style, created the atmosphere that led to his near-death. And third, he’s ignoring the temperature of the nation and voter frustration with everything around them in favor of some limp noodle message in an attempt to get plaudits from the Atlantic and the New York Times.”
The time to discuss who’s judgement you would trust the most was the primaries which are over.
Your screed is falling on deaf ears with me and everyone else because the primaries are over.
Either you are trusting Donald Trump or are committed to a second Biden term with Kamala Harris becoming president at some point before the term is over.
There aren’t any third options unless you think RFK has a viable path to the White House (hint he doesn’t),
You are months too late for discussing what is needed to win the election. Trump is our guy, Trump’s choices are our choices, Trump’s tactics are our tactics.
And I do support Trump, always have, but I’m not going over the cliff for anyone
Then let me defend Trump
You are worried he will take a middle ground?
On what?
Trump has never been an extreme budget hawk.
Trump has used tariffs when he felt he needed to make a positive difference for American jobs.
Ronald Raegan imposed tariffs on steal, imposed a 45% tariff on on heavy motorcycles, tariffed Japanese electronics, and tariffed textiles.
I think Raegan despite having different rhetoric actually was more of a protectionist. Trump is protectionist, and I agree with him the modern world isn’t going away but we need to use protectionism in some industries to save the American branches of them. He is middle ground on this, along with most Americans. Very few people want absolute free trade, or absolute protectionism.
I would greatly appreciate if you could explain to me where Trump has been extreme???
Maybe you mean taxes
If Trump runs on tax status quo good we are in a deficit crisis. If he runs on his usual moderate tax cut which is what he did taxwise the first time fine, I really don’t care, I do not thing many other people care either. Nobody will decide “you know because Trump isn’t discussing a 2% tax cut I am supporting Biden” who wants to raise taxes purely on ideological grounds and unlimited spending.
Maybe on abortion-Would you provide me the quote that shows Trump TODAY believes in abortion?
If the presidency wasn’t important I wouldn’t care but it is, and I want Trump to win, and I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
I am willing to say that his choice of J.D. Vance shows he picked someone he feels would make a good president if he has a stroke.
You could also say his signaling to the center shows he wants that to be relevant by winning the general election.
Why not wait and see? There is nothing wrong with unity and offering a hand. That does not mean beg for it. The man has a goal, to Make America Great Again. We know what great means to him. If this event takes us in a better direction, back toward normalcy, by all means. It does not mean capitulation.
No. Not this.
Had the bullet gone just a bit further left, you would be dead. Just a bit further to the left.
But the gods of wind and storm, of thunder and maelstrom, blew that bullet right, they pushed your head so that you might wield the storm and vanquish, forevermore, the left.
We can unify when they are so hurt that they cannot respond, when their ideology is so shattered, destroyed and discredited that they are not a power but a punchline.
When they surrender completely, THAT is when we think of unity.
He chose Vance to save money on signs, bumper stickers, etc.. Only have to change two letters.
Trump’s VP is extremely bright but brings nothing whatsoever to the table, which means Trump seems to have picked entirely on “what candidate would be best if I have a stroke”, but because he picked someone who brings nothing it is 100% up to Trump therefore we should all pray for him.
as long as the vp is pro american
we win
“what candidate would be best if I have a stroke” IS bringing something to the table, greater than anything in particular.
I thought it was obvious that was talking about in terms of the election.
Not that it matters, but the comment seemed more focused on Vance, generally.
From the Biden camp:
“Donald Trump picked J.D. Vance as his running mate because Vance will do what Mike Pence wouldn’t” do.
A little bird told me that Biden’s VP would do things most other VPs wouldn’t do… like give Blowies and deep diving with Willie Brown, Montel Williams, and anyone else who would “advance” her K-Rear.
That is delightfully not nice.
Heels Up Harris is certainly the first DEI VP who got there as Dangerfield put it in Caddyshack “The hard way”
Makes me wonder if she’ll return to prostitution after she and Biden are out of the White House.
And I include Presstitution with CNN or any of the other corporate media outlets in the same category.
And you wre expecting??? 🙂
A Good man that does not deliver a swing state.
I have nothing against Vance but I’m not thrilled at this. Trump needs to get independents and minorities to vote for him and I don’t see how Vance does this. He also has very little political experience although does show good instincts.
This independent will vote for him.
Any independent who votes for Biden (a vote to make Harris president) is a moron.
Trump could put a serial k*!!er in the VP slot, and I would still vote for him.*
