Robert F Kennedy Jr appears with Republican candidate, while congressman promotes state constitutional amendment to disqualify non-citizens from voting

At a Wisconsin rally on Friday, Donald Trump called Kamala Harris a “low-IQ person” and vowed to save the economy “from total obliteration” in a 1.5 hour-long meandering speech that touched on top campaign issues including the economy and foreign policy – but also featured threats to curb press freedoms and a lengthy discussion of his own rhetorical style.

On immigration, Trump’s message was characteristically dark. The campaign played a painful video of a mother describing her daughter’s murder and blaming Harris for allowing the accused to enter the US without authorization. Studies overwhelmingly refute Trump’s claim that immigrants are disproportionately responsible for crime in the US, but such claims are a feature of his campaign.

    Welp, better late than never.

    I would love to be proven wrong, but I’m not sure there’s anything in our wildest dreams that could snap anybody in his base out of their trance at this point. What line is there that he hasn’t already crossed?

      Honestly I don’t get it either. You’d have had to have blinders on for years to not see what a shit person he is.

        I had a neighbor, 92 years old, who I was helping out by driving her around and buying stuff for her. Took her to the ER a couple times. She has since passed away.

        We rarely talked politics. She watched Fox News just about all day. She asked me why I didn’t like Trump. I kept it simple, I said he lies all the time about everything he speaks about.

        Her reply- “When has he ever lied?”

        It’s pointless.

        May we come in and rattle on fairly endlessly about our religion for which there has always been zero proof?
