You have got to be kidding. Everyone on both sides and every walk of life or media source has known that Joe was in declining health and experiencing dementia for quite awhile now. Of course the White House tried to contain that story while they figured out what to do next. But maybe you are also outraged at the media and the RNC for pretending that Trump is a stable genius here to save the world as if there's not a thing wrong with him, right?


How do you define "quite a while"? From what I've read the decline was only noticeable in the last 2 months.
I suspect a diagnosis will be revealed after the election.


Then you need to find new reading material.

I watched a lot of speeches, and the decline was very quick. People forgot that we became more confident from the State of the Union which was a great performance. Then, he quickly fell apart mentally and couldn't recover. He's old, that happens often with old people.

He must be tapped out.


Well, they don’t know yet when he will test negative.

He will meet with Netanyahu, if he is better.

He can’t campaign right now.

Come on man.

Apparently the elder abuse hotlines were running off the hook with complaints about Jill. I considered calling as well

So silly, have you talked to Indians and other south Asians. Many did not support Harris in '20. Like other groups many in that group also are sexist.


Or you know, they don’t support her on the issues and it’s not sexism at all. Like Hilary, Kamala isn’t owed a vote for her sex. She has to earn it.


Exactly. I can't believe there are still people (Democrats) who believe not voting for the woman is somehow "sexist."


Show me a white guy who’s been made to “earn it” and I’ll stop saying sexism isn’t at play here.

Then the GOP should have passed their own immigration reform bill that Biden said he would sign.

Trump told them not to, so they didn't.

GOP owns the issue now, and not in a good way.

If it were a serious problem, it would have been dealt with in a serious manner.


As we all know, the GOP's own immigration reform bill - HR-2 - was watered down to such an extent by Democrats that it would have been virtually useless. There's a reason it didn't pass. Meanwhile, Joe Biden decided that oops, he actually *could* sign a border EO. Because it's an election year, of course.

Source? Not sure how he would have commented since she doesn’t even have the nomination yet. Obama, AOC still haven’t signaled support for her.


Are you kidding?

Look at Trump already making excuses about the September debate.

AOC has signed support.

Obama won't because he did the same thing in 2016 and 202.


DP. What "excuses"? Suggesting the venue be moved to Fox is hardly deciding to bow out.

This is completely fair as long as we can fault a certain Texas Governor for throwing immigrants on a bus and plane rides to other states....


You realize you've created an agitative situation of pitting state against state, right. That seems to be what you leftists revel in.

Not really. If you're scared to death of migrants and hate them illegally entering, it surely would suck if a governor takes those migrants and gets them on transit to SPREAD even further out through the country.


DP. The point, which you insist on missing over and over, is that liberals are quite happy to pay lip service to welcoming migrants. Well, as long as they’re not in THEIR backyard. Out of sight, out of mind, amirite? Once they become a reality in YOUR life, then all of a sudden we have “a problem.” You people are the poster children for hypocrisy.


I have lived 95% of my life with and around migrants - shopping, eating, living life etc., including growing up and going to school and my kids doing the same.

Now, I do think we need to streamline the process of immigration but that is a separate issue.


You are very much in the minority if you have no problem with illegal immigrants receiving free healthcare, housing, and education in the U.S.


You do realize that even those who are undocumented are largely paying taxes right? They are contributing to those things just the same as you and me. It’s not “free.”

False. The majority work "on the books" and receive paychecks. In 2016 it was estimated that in Virginia undocumented workers paid between $200M and $304M in sales, excise, property, and income taxes. Estimated $13B same year in contributions to Social Security Trust Fund. Maybe your landscape worker is paid under the table but many work in places like meat and food processing and are on payroll. And they can get a tax ID number for withholding purposes. In 2019, according to the IRS, more than 2.5 million tax returns were filed using ITINs, accounting for nearly $6 billion in taxes.

Of course, Trump has always courted the low information voters. A published study in 2021, "Cognitive Sophistication, Religion, and the Trump Vote" (you can actually download free from Wiley" included a 10 point vocabulary test. 73% of the people who didn't get a single test question right were Trump voters. Each question answered correctly correlated to a 14% DROP in the likelihood of voting for Trump.

Has it never occurred to you to wonder why Trump said "I love the poorly educated"? They will believe anything apparently.



So, what were your SAT vocab scores?




So let's do some simple math. You claim they paid $6B using ITNs.

DHS estimates there are about 11-12 million undocumented people living here. Let's be VERY generous and assume half of those are are kids.

So that leaves 6 million undocumented people paying $6B in so called taxes.

Big whoop, that equals only a $1000 paid by every undocumented individual here illegally who is working and supposedly paying tax.


They are clearly not paying their fair share of income tax,.which is the primary bulk of taxation for any legal citizen
. Consumptive taxes mean jack squat.


I pay sales taxes too when I go travel on holiday in Europe or when I got study abroad for a year. Does that entitle me access to all of their social benefits, their schools, and healthcare just because I pay some VAT? Lol, hell no, because I'm not a citizen and I don't pay fill income taxes.


Lol, I love this crappy argument Dems always use. If you actually calculated the numbers, it clearly shows undocumented don't pay anywhere near their fair share of income tax. The rest of the taxes are superfluous, because people who travel here on vacation also pay those sales taxes, yet we wouldn't allow them to enroll their kids in our schools.

So, what was your SAT math score?

Probably below 450 I'm guessing.



LOL, now do the billionaires.


You notice the pattern?

--Crickets when a Kushner (whose own HS was shocked) or Dubya or Trump get into prestigious schools, but scream about the low income black kid who got in w/ a 3.8 GPA.

--Crickets when it comes to the millions in PPP loans forgiven for REPUBLICANS, but scream about the kid who got his student loan forgiven.

--Crickets about the economy going to sh*t with Trump's tax cuts for the super wealthy, but scream about any relief Dems were giving to avg Americans incl. child tax credit.

If Trump wins, I guarantee seniors will go back to paying more for insulin and other meds, so ghouls like Manchin's daughter can make more in bonuses.




PPP was a national emergency. I don't agree with Trump furnishing the funds, but you do see a difference between that and your kid taking out student loans and then deciding they don't want to pay them back, don't you?

Why a child tax credit? You wanted the kid, now pay for them instead of demanding other tax payers do with a steeper and steeper progressive tax system. It's time the tax system is flattened so more people pay.

I have nothing against the black kid getting into a prestigious school as long as their test scores aren't weighted differently for race. If you have to weight and play games to boost the score of someone to displace a better student, then we have problems.

I hope you understand the other side's positions.

BTW, we have shortages of insulin and other medications right now. That's what edicts from Uncle Sam in his ivory towers causes - market dislocations followed by shortages of goods and services. Compare how long it takes to get an appointment with the specialist in the medical field today versus several years ago.


Do you understand that things like student loan forgiveness and child tax credit are not done out of pity or benevolence? It is done to pump money into the economy. Just like getting a stimulus check. Did they care who “deserved” one? Of course not because the purpose was not to reward people for being responsible or whatever. It was purely to get cash in the hands of people who would spend it instead of hoarding it like the wealthy.

Maybe they should've run it when they had a majority...ever thunk of that one?

Gosh, it’s so hard to choose between an annoying voice and the end of democracy in the USA! This one’s a real head-scratcher


That’s her voice. She’s a woman. What do you want her to sound like? For the record Trump sounds like a whiny bi*ch.


I’m a woman and don’t sound like her. In fact, I don’t know any women who do. Hers is a particularly grating voice that has nothing to do with her gender. And you seem really mature. DP


Really? This is your complaint about Kamala, that you don’t like her voice? And people say the term mysoginist is used too much.

DP and I sure don't - a lot of the companies that got those funds didn't need them or it was outright fraud. I'd much rather forgive the student loans of someone that wanted to get an education to get ahead than corporate welfare queens.

And your statement about drug shortages and waits for doctors show that you don't know or understand much about health care in this country.
