This was after he said abortions were happening after birth.

Disgraceful.

True, also shocking but not something to laugh at

No, the fact that people support this crap is certainly a worry.

Though yes, the comment absolutely deserves to be laughed at, though the fact that it's deemed okay to lie so blatantly and shamelessly is rather unfunny.

Trump is a joke and and anyone who believes his lies is a chump. The pet eating is a laughable example of his ill informed prejudice.

 

[Hello Sailor]

Another obvious shameless lie.

Honestly, anyone that believes immigrants are eating people’s pets is not fit for office.

No wonder Harris wants another debate.

He is talking directly to the Republican base. They will be frenzied after that.

Thing is he needs to win votes. How many new converts after that dribbling pack of lies.
Someone needs to come and take grandpa home

Haha.

Our old cleaner reckoned her Asian neighbours ate her cat when she lived in Sydney. That story always made me laugh. Thankfully she wasn't running for office.

Some old habits do die hard though.

Fewer thieves?

small government means weak government

my golden moment was when she set him up with the crowd size line.
he started going full on rant after that .

 

[FFC Mariner]

Diaper Don is "not sure" if he will agree to another debate.
I bet.

The"Migrants eating cats and dogs"quote brings to mind "Honest John"Howard's comments about refugees throwing their children overboard-his ministers Reith and Ruddock also said this.Remember this was just prior to an election in November 2001.

The thing is with the archaic electoral process he really doesn't need to change that many minds, if he does it in the swing states.

His ranting will most likely increase the popular vote in blue states but they don't get any more electoral college votes (you still only get 3 points for a 6-0 win compared to a 1-0 win 🤷🏻‍♂️

If there are enough nut jobs in Michigan and Pennsylvania who are concerned about pet eating migrants (they both border on Ohio although to be fair I would probably be more worried about my pets around the locals in Ohio) and grab a few cheese heads from Wisconsin (if they can get to Michigan they can get to us right?), then it will be a very close election.

Or tell him COVID is back and tell him where the bleach is.

I thought this was quite a telling moment.

Former President Donald Trump twice refused to directly answer a question during the debate about whether he wanted U.S. ally Ukraine to win the war. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris praised American and NATO support for Ukraine in its fight against Russia's invasion so far — and called for it to continue.

“Otherwise, (Russian President Vladimir) Putin would be sitting in Kyiv with his eyes on the rest of Europe. Starting with Poland,” she said. “And why don’t you tell the 800,000 Polish Americans right here in Pennsylvania how quickly you would give up for the sake of favor and what you think is a friendship with what is known to be a dictator who would eat you for lunch?”

Maybe not the same impact these days as the Taylor Swift endorsement but more my era

I don't disagree that there were a number of telling moments. And god forbid that loon gets back in the white house.

But we are talking about US swing states. And nobody has accused Trump supporters of being rational or sane (or intelligent) - watch some of the videos of Jordan Klepper interviewing Trump supporters (and anti vaxxers) for a hilarious take.

Georgia was won by Biden by what 12000 votes last time? So we aren't talking a swing of millions.

It's not so much the 800,00 polish Americans that decide to not vote for Trump - it's do they have enough reason to vote for Harris or do they stay at home?

There is expected to be a number of female artists holding cats endorsing Harris
