she's a fucking fraud, representing a fraud of a party, who put her there, with a fraud of a process

at every step and every level...

but anyway, trump is tiring... he's fucking exhausting actually...

all she's got is selling some form of change, hope and joy... and distancing herself from biden

it's all she needs

if she actually fails... that'll be a damningly damningest damning reflection on the democrat party...

but we know who'll get the blame...

the deplorables

100% agree.

'she bullied the bully' thats a good take and spun some shit doing so, i think it really rattled him too and put him off his game.

And ha ing the mics muted which was predicated to be a disadvantage for her, made it even worse for him as he couldn't hit back straight away.

So, Trump is claiming he won the debate 93 to 7 and it was one of his greatest debates. What planet is this guy on?
If he is going to say ridiculous things like, they are executing babies after they are born, and having abortions at 9 months, and repeats nonsense he hears on right wing social media then of course they are going to fact check and pull him up on it.
I find it scary that some people are so removed from reality they can allow themselves to be manipulated by this clown.

Hey Waxy

I didn't mention what I have been up 2 .

I retired at the end of last year and have done a lot of travel .

I had 2 move out , owner wanted in , of an apartment in early June , so put all my Stuff in Storage , ready 2 move .

One thing after another , happened and only moved into a converted Warehouse last Friday and had all my Artwork installed yesterday .

Waxy , I have realised I am not the type of bloke who could B a Cowboy .

Just a horse , few belongings and the Stars , Sky and Universe as a home .

Some would call that Freedom , the World is my Oyster Stuff .

I feel so much better , having a Home !

A home base , filled with things I love , especially my kingsize bed .

The Walls are huge , 6 meters in some spots .

My home base HAD to be , where my family live .

My roots run deep in Melbourne and am now feeling Settled , again .

ps

I have a spare bedroom for Seppo's !

Calling that debarcle a "debate" is comical.

Trump tells everyone he does everything better than anyone else, better than anyone in the world has seen, best in history.

Kamala tells everyone everything they want to hear just so she gets elected.

Either way, who ever gets into power, it will be the greatest shitshow on earth.

Hey Juliang

I am not sure if U misread my post or if my Fruit salad style , through U off piste .

I am in Windsor , an inner , Inner Melbourne suburb .

As I have got older , with each move , I have been sucked towards the CBD , somehow .

Probably some gravity like force , from The G !

My vote doesn't count here , as Inner Melbourne is either very Green or Labour .

Have surfed all around Melbourne , for a few years 2 .

I especially know the Mornington Peninsula , as played footy at Rye 4 a few years .

Went to Mullumbimby High 4 6 years and really got into surfing .

Lived in Sydney 4 10 years and love Curly .

The Southern Ocean has much more action , than the Pacific .

"Body language and facial expressions was as important as what was said. That you can make a call without watching is amazing stuff."

I made that caveat in my post... perpetually hostile man...

still haven't watched it all, but on the outtakes I've now seen, kamala wins on body language

she looked comfortable

whilst trump looked angry and deranged... as he always does...

bit like you ;)

she still didn't win by much though

she was still lying through her teeth (she just does it smoother than trump)

trump is an idiot, getting triggered by the crowd size comment, that just showed what a tool he is

he's an idiot for dragging out that pets comment too, he really didn't need to, he has it all over her re. immigration without going on that tangent

having said that, the media dismissing all that as 'conspiracy theory' is just all so sad, tired and lame

I'm willing to bet that - when journalists actually do their job, and go there and check it out -there's substance to the story...

it's same with his abortion hyperbole

he failed by not toning down his act, he actually did a good job explaining his abortion position, then blew it by being just too trumpy...

his job in this debate, was to appeal to normies...

he failed in this regard

burliegh is right though, he had it stacked against him

only a nut would argue the debate and moderators were not working against him

the questions were basically...

'president trump, you're a dangerous bad man... explain otherwise...'

'vp kamala, explain to us how much of a bad dangerous man president trump is...'

with no difficult questions for kamala regarding her fuck ups, flip flops, and blatant misleading of the public for years

you just cannot expect such a community to just 'suck it up'

I know where our City's reside , as have been to them all , except Darwin , which is also on the Coast but crap waves and crocs .

I purposely make my writing style different , from how I normally would talk or write about STUFF !

I have been known to get Grumpy on SN lol :)) !

Even unnecessarily , really :) .

Please try not to Molly Coddle a very old , Melbournian and use the occasional Full Stop .

I will let U know , if I think I need a guide .

So , what's the thread ?

@ Pops
Dont fall for Jules BS

The think tanks 900 page policy recommendation's, basically a wish list from over 110 conservative groups, isn't actually new, it's been something that's been around since the early 80s, it's just that the latest edition has had a name change.

So its not like someone sat down recently and wrote 900 pages from scratch, more just something that has been tinkered with, adjusted, updated every few years.

For most of the last 40+ years it was called the Mandate for Leadership, but the recent edition has been renamed Project 2025 and like most things is now online to read rather than a hard copy book as it once was.

"Mandate for Leadership is a series of books published by The Heritage Foundation, an American conservative think-tank based in Washington, D.C. They offer specific conservative policy recommendations designed to be implemented by the federal government.

The books have traditionally been released to coincide with an incoming U.S. presidential administration. The first edition was released in 1981, following the election of Ronald Reagan, to serve as policy guidance for the incoming Reagan administration. The latest edition, published in April 2023, is a major component of Project 2025."
