Boy, Kamala Harris is sure ‘Walz-ing” towards creating a socialist America. For any of you that think that might be okay please look up The History of Venezuela and have one of the richest countries in the northern hemisphere is in shambles thanks to socialism.
The Democrats keep stating that democracies at risk- and I think they are right. And they’re the ones risking it!
Pure evidence that these people are crazy. They don’t know history and that Marx was fool. So they will have a fools ending.
OK, new PC here and I accidentally shortened my user name last night.
Are you saying we are going to start eating our zoo animals soon like Venezuela did? I can see it.
In his “news conferences” and his speeches, Donald Trump continues to slur his words, go on bizarre tangents, riff on fictional serial killer characters, hurl insults. His fans in attendance walk out. HIs campaign in in a panic, and for good reason.
President Kamala Harris has a good ring to it. With her election, democracy will survive.
Nice yarn CG, now try and convince everyone Gilligans Island is based on a true story.

She litterally gritting her teeth trying not to laugh and theyve told her not to get stoned before a speech.
Harris has no more knowledge of how economics works than her boss. What she laid out today will increase prices and fuel inflation. I swear, politicians needs to take Econ 101 before running for office. I wish I could have endless credit like the government.
Found a partial list of biden harris accomplishments.
https://tinyurl.com/5n8aataz
Click on picture twice for readable size.
I clicked on the link hoping to see some positive accomplishments, I was disappointed because all I read were facts. Every time I ask a Harris supporter what she has accomplished, they attack Trump.
Yep Trump has verbally attacked people, so has Harris. Trump has lied, so has Harris. So let’s talk accomplishments … Trump had a few in his tenure, so where are hers?
So all you Harris supporters or ‘never Trumpers’ , can you provide a list of positive things that Harris has done in office? This is a legitimate honest question from me. Get past the attacks and down votes … just facts. Cite your sources.
Visits to different places do not count unless she did something positive there.
FUN FACT: Tim Walz could serve as 8 years as Vice President, run in 2032, win, serve 8 years as President, leave office in 2041 and still be younger than Donald Trump is today.
DOH,
.
Highly unlikely. We’ve never had a 2-term vice president, who also served 2-terms as president. Former President and Vice President Richard M. Nixon came the closest when he served 8-years as our 36th vice president and about 5.6-years as our 37th president.
@ DOH
And still not even be half as smart.
BWAAAHAHAHAhahha Trump will give a word salad as his non-existent inaugural speech.
Doh, Paul, Damaged, JWB and the rest of you that take jabs at Trump, none of you can come up with a positive accomplishment list of what Harris has done?
Let’s open it up (like our borders) and look back at her time in California? Anything?
Again a genuine interest on my part. You all hate Trump so much, you are willing to stand by anyone but Trump? Despite that person having accomplished nothing positive in her political career?
I know none of the Harris supporters will respond, beyond taking jabs at Trump (and he ain’t perfect either) but I had to try and find a positive thing about her.
Oh Parent, let’s see Kamala was a successful DA of San Francisco and AG of California. You don’t need to take my word for it. As you recall just a few days ago Trump was trashing San Francisco and California and praised the time back in 2014 when SF was a beautiful city and CA a great state. 2014 was after Harris was DA of SF and ran for her second term as AG of CA. And his praise was also confirmed that both he and Ivanka actually donated to the Harris re-election campaign.
,
But furthermore character matters. She has the integrity and the character to run the country. She will not trash veterans, nor is she a convicted felon. She is not an old rambling fool going on and on about batteries, sharks, flushing toilets, Hannibal Lecter, she is not cozying up to Putin, Orban, Xi, Kim Jong Un.
.
But now let’s get back to you. When you refer to open borders you must be forgetting that border crossings are now lower than they were at the end of the Trump administration?
.
I find it funny that you think no one will respond. Did you ever note that two days ago I actually asked for specific policies you like about Trump? Do you want to check if anybody actually had any substantive response? Maybe you should actually re-read your own response, because it doesn’t address any Trump policy but actually starts with: “And how will Harris’s plan combat inflation, ….”
.
And now compare this with your statement above “…beyond taking jabs at Trump…” Do you notice that actually fits exactly your response.
And don’t forget there are a number of prominent Republicans who actually are agreeing with me and have endorsed Harris for President:
.
The former advisor to Vice President Mike Pence, Olivia Troye, former Donald Trump Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham, former Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger, Mayor of Mesa, Arizona John Giles, former Lieutenant Governor of Georgia Geoff Duncan and Judge Luttig who was actually Ted Cruz’ mentor.
.
You can read Judge Luttig’s statement here:
.
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25050952-luttig-endorsement
.
in addition there are a large number of Trump’s former cabinet members who are NOT endorsing him, most prominently his former VP Pence.
When Trump’s own press secretary came onstage and called him out for being such a miserable leader of this country… oof! Fortunately burns like that are covered by the affordable care act.
@Parent
And there you have it……you requested a list of Harris’s accomplishments and JWB gave you three words, DA, AG, integrity. However, he did provide five paragraphs about Trump.
Cyn
He gave three words. Not sure those are her accomplishments cause … that is a pretty low bar.
JWB
I appreciate you taking the time to respond …
As DA or AG, did she prosecute criminals or release them?
Did she raise or lower the criteria to be thrown in jail for crimes?
Be specific, what good did she do in those positions?
Let’s be honest an AG should uphold the law, or did she just choose which laws to uphold?
As for integrity, not seeing it. I see copying Trump’s policies on tips and social security.
I have always thought of her as black, and when Trump made his big uproar about her announcing she is black, I looked at the history. How come someone identifies as Indian when they are elected into the AG role and black when she steps into a presidential candidate role? I would think someone with integrity would continue to identify as the same ethnic race, and not pander to the voting community
As for your attacks on Trump, did not ask for a comparison so I will not waste any time responding to that.
Again JWB, just attacks on Trump. You have no concrete evidence to support anything postive that Harris has done. All you have are attacks and allegations.

Good news, the $20 billion Bay Area Housing Finanance Authority (BAHFA) Regional Measure 4 has been pulled from the November general election ballot. According to polling data, Regional Measue 4.had about 54% support, which wasn’t enough for this measure to pass. BAHFA also would’ve had to find a way to pay an under calculated ANNUAL shortfall of $241 million, and Regional Measure 4 contained MISLEADING and FALSE language, which resulted in a lawsuit.
The good news is that it failed. The bad news is if Prop 5 passes it would reduce the threshold from 2/3 to 55% for passage of housing projects. More taxes!
IF Prop 5 passes the woke agenda spending will VERY rapidly escalate CA into and even more unlivable place and possibly bankrupt state.

Was going to trade in my older gasoline powered car for a more environmentally friendly car, but I don’t qualify for any rebates. The rebates are based on one’s income so I don’t qualify.

Don’t look at me, I don’t think I voted for whomever in charge this week…..
After seeing that the “polls” were around 50/50, I could not help but to realize that the 50 or so percent of our voting public is BARKING MAD & are wishing for four more years of the insanity (or worse) that the present administration has imposed upon this country.
The Harris/Walz campaign has yet to offer any sane and effective solutions to the very issues that Harris/Biden are responsible for. All Harris has offered so far are issues already announced by Trump plus her rainbow & puppy dog platitudes. From where the hell does she plan to get the $25,000 per new home buyer. From your pocket, I suspect. Also, do you think it’s a good idea to have government set prices? Issues?.. Flip-Flop, Flip-Flop, rinse & repeat. Borders?.. We don’t need no stinkin, borders.
I don’t know what makes the folks that support Harris/Walz think as they do. Maybe they hate Trump so much that they will vote for Harris/Walz just to make them feel better, damn the inevitable. consequences. WAKE UP, AMERICA! —–‘Nuf said—–
No,they just hate Trump,and it all centers around the fact that they think if hes gone,the N word will be gone and earth will be heaven.They wont even call each other that anymore.They are so simple minded and ignorant it’s hilarious
Oh my goodness, the GOP calls Harris a communist. That’s new, in recent history it only happened when Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, Bill Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Obama, Hillary Clinton and Biden ran for office. How will the Democrats handle this stunning new accusation?

Openly running on communism is evidence of republicans being right all these years. Democrats are full on red communists. Joe McCarthy was right. As I stated here 4 years ago.

I wonder if the DNC will leave some windows open so everyone can enjoy the smoke?
I think Trump’s exact words were :
“After causing catastrophic inflation, Comrade Kamala announced that she wants to institute socialist price controls”
“What they are doing is a communist takeover of our country”
“Her plan is very dangerous because it may sound good politically”
“This is Communist; this is Marxist; this is fascist.”
They seem pretty low on new material. They are so terrified that she might be a communist that they are willing to vote for a swindler.

Kamala proposes up to $25k for housing down payment for 400k first generation home buyers . I think it is a good idea so first generation home buyers, mostly immigrants, could enjoy the American dream of homeownership.
OK Paul. I vote the first $25,000.00 comes out of your pocket since you think it is such a good idea.
Paul, the problem with Kamala’s idea is that it will drive up the price of housing, making it even more unaffordable for first time home buyers. One of the best ways to buy a home is to serve in the military. After serving as little as two years of active duty, a veteran may be eligible for the benefits of the GI Bill. That includes, no down payment, low interest rates, and no credit score requirements. This is why so many WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans were able to afford a new home.
Don’t try to explain economics to a democrat. It’s like teaching a pig to sing.
Since 1933 the economy has been better under Democrats than Republicans. Average growth 4.6% under Democrats versus 2.4% under Republicans. I think Democrats know about economics.
@ADC…. what do you think they know about inflation?
And the only ones who get screwed are the taxpayers.
Great plan.
Just to be clear my comment was directed to Paul.
So you expect me to contribute to some illegal’s first purchase of a house? Or contribute to someone who cannot afford a down payment? If you cannot save the down payment, you likely cannot afford the mortgage – just saying. Or am I now expected to pay my mortgage and their mortgage?
I have an idea! How about I work for my money. I then spend my money on what I want. If I want to help someone with down payment, I can do it.
I will pay my taxes, and the government can use that to fix our roads, provide security (LE & military) and other essential services. If someone is not working, they don’t get handouts from the government using hard working people’s money. That is not essential. No work = no food. Harsh, but sooner or later you need to cut the umbilical cord and let people fend for themselves.
The more she speaks about giving away money to every illegal and person down on their luck … the more I lean towards voting for Trump.
Not illegals – immigrants.
Not immigrants, illegal invaders.
From now on: Ignore the desperate attention seeking troll.
Somebody needs to tell the new immigrants that the free goodies and deals they are getting they will have to pay back in the future. 😉

Why are you not able to find them?
Since you’re all now economics geniuses, let’s look at the Trump proposal to combat inflation.
.
1) Tariffs which we all know will increase the cost of goods and not lower, so that’s not really a plan.
.
2) Drill baby drill is is other proposal. Now I’m not aware that the US government is in the actual oil production. I always thought that oil is produced by (mostly publicly traded) companies. And of course these companies are responsible to their shareholders to maximize profits. So, as we have seen in the past if production is much higher than demand and the oil prices on the market go too low these companies stop producing because the production cost is higher than the profit. So will Trump in that case force these companies to keep drill baby drill? I guess some of you would call this the government controlling production and you might want to google whether that is capitalist or communist?
.
3) At least some of the high grocery prices are actually not influenced simply by energy pricing. For example egg prices went way up when large chicken flocks needed to be killed because of bird flu. Droughts have a huge impact on wheat pricing and so forth. How will drill baby drill address these factors?
.
4) Government spending was record high under Trump’ s last administration (even pre-pandemic) so based on his previous track record that will not keep inflation in check.
.
So please elaborate how Trump will keep inflation in check, but try to be specific and why you think it will be helpful. I’m waiting
It appears that you are only 4 years old, and therefore are unable to have experienced anything that occurred during Trumps presidency. Get to us when you grow up.
Oh how much I would wish that I didn’t experience the Trump presidency, the worst administration ever. BTW this post was a question about economic policies by Trump. So you might want to rethink that answer because Trump’s economy was massive unemployment, low GDP growth, massive spending, massive increase of money supply which btw was a major factor for the inflation.

I’m letting you all know now that I will be posting an even snarkier test with even more bombastic attitude & 8 questions tomorrow!
This means EVERYBODY and it will be due by Friday!
You have made your posts absolutely and completely not worth debating. You have no degree in economics. You have zero track record of even understanding money. You are not any type of authority on economic policy. You can’t even figure out how to post a working link to a local website, yet expect people to trust your input on tariffs, bird flu, and oil production and it’s effects on the economy. You’re a cheerleader for all thing’s communist. Totally delusional if you think anyone takes your posts seriously.
And how will Harris’s plan combat inflation, sine you are also an economic genius?
1) Provide a subsidery of $25,000 for first time home buyers? Where is this money coming from?
2) Cancellation of medical debt. Who pays that bill, cause the doctors want to get paid?
3) Ban on price gouging for groceries and food. There is already a law on the books preventing gouging during an disaster, so what will this do but try to limit a companies abilty to get a profit.
Last I checked, increasing federal spending (injecing more money into the economy), leads to inflation. Her plan to combat that is to tell folks they cant charge what the market will bear. So her plan to combat inflation is to limit the free market. So government run stores, dealers and trades – SOUNDS AWESOME!
Those are a few good examples of Democrat politician vote buying.
p.s. Where’s the money coming from? It comes hard working taxpayers who get bleed by the parasite self serving democrat politicians.

This is actually a good thing for Kamala. The higher unemployment #s and the worse off the economy is will force the Fed to cut rates this month. Probably additional cuts before the end of the year.
Why good for Kamala? A cut in rates will spike the stock market. People have short term memories and tend to vote with their wallet. Higher stock market = higher individual wealth = more people forgetting the negatives of the past 3+ yrs and voting for the stock market rally.
You watch. The Dems will crow that the rising DJIA, SPX, and Naz as proof that Bidenomics works. The Reps will whine that the Fed is tipping the scale towards the Dems. When this happens, remember that both sides are lying. Can’t fault them for this as both the Dems and Reps would do and say the same were the roles reversed.
‘Backlash after 818,000 jobs in America ‘vanish’ from jobs report’

Have to admit some surprise at little market reaction to 818,000 jobs evaporating.
What will Federal Reserve do given fewer jobs created than reported in 12 month period.
Wednesday, Initial jobless claims are reported.
Thursday, Fed chairman Jerome Powell gives a speech at Jackson Hole retreat.

Historically Fed has a poor track record setting funds rate,
when it comes time to cut rates they’re most often late to the party.

I heard the Secretary of Commerce, Gina Raimondo, claim that she doesn’t believe this because it’s something Trump said. (Trump spoke about these 818,000 fewer jobs today during his rally.)
The democrat party of liars is partially right. There are lots of jobs out there – If one wants to work at places like McDonalds or 7 11, and work at least 3 to 4 jobs just to barely scratch out a poverty level day to day living.

Lithium batteries if damaged run the risk of thermal runaway, as part of that process batteries release oxygen. Isn’t amazing. . . . . . , democrats got a real world example of a problem of one of their utopian fantasy mandates. Money it cost for that semi fire alone probably will run into many tens of thousands of dollars vs a conventional semi leaving the road and hitting that same tree.

Another problem for California democrat’s fantasy,
“Ford has abruptly cancelled plans to produce a three-row electric SUV, and has delayed building a new EV plant in Tennessee. The pullback marks a major shift for the car company, amid slowing demand for electric cars. Axing the electric SUV and pulling back on its new plant plans could cost the carmaker around $1.9 billion. The manufacturer will also drop its spending on EVs to 30 percent of its annual investment, down from 40 percent.”

Wow, I saw a very brief clip of the Democrat national convention with their heavyweights stumping for the candidates and it reminded me of why I haven’t answered the last thousand telemarketing calls, It’s always a bunch of crap. I immediately changed the channel. Everyone should…
The incredible part was and is the huge lies that came from many of the speakers. If they really believe what they said, then they must be mentally ill.
“The American public believed the government was rescuing them from price gougers.”
For those of you who feel that Kamala’s price fixing scheme is a good thing:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixon_shock
This idea that govt can solve a country’s woes by fixing prices is a pipe dream that has been tried before in many nations. It has been an epic fail every time. One only has to look at Venezuela, Cuba, N Korea, and the old USSR. It leads to massive shortages, higher prices, long lines, misery and death. People look around and say that it will work here because the US is different (or the times are different, or we are now smarter than the people who tried it before).
Well, it has happened in the US before. Nixon tried to stop high inflation and unemployment by freezing prices and wages in 1971. It was this act that pushed the economy from struggling to full blown stagflation (rising prices AND higher unemployment. Literally the worst of both worlds. The US economy didn’t recover until the early ’80s.
The inflation issues forced Fed Head Paul Volker (btw, he was not the Fed Head when this happened) to raise interest rates to double digits so as to slay the inflation dragon. It took years of 15% mortgage rates and Ronald Reagan’s tax cuts to get back on track. The economy surged and people’s lives were enhanced.
So if you want to go back to the days of 8% unemployment and 15% mortgages, VOTE DEMOCRAT.
That’s a very interesting take. You explain that the economic measures that Nixon took in 1971 caused 8% unemployment and 15% mortgages. And the economy didn’t recover until the early 80s?
.
You must have forgotten but Nixon was a Republican, so why do you blame DEMOCRATS?
Because Kamala is championing a lost cause that has been tried before. At least the Reps regained their senses and learned from their mistakes.

Great headline today on Yahoo finance:
“The labor market is leveling off as the fed gets set to cut rates”.
Apparently “leveling off” is defined as “reducing the false job count to the actual correct number”.
Unbelievable.
That’s like claiming a dead person “took a turn for the worse” .
Job numbers get corrected all the time.
