I don't see how that's babbling or spiraling? At all. Have you ever listened to a black preacher? That kind of repetition is a common rhetorical device.
I get that and I think she’s vastly better than Trump on every single level but I also don’t think the same tactics a preacher uses are great for a politician to use. They’re entirely different scenarios - what is great rhetoric from a preacher can come across as ridiculous babble from a politician candidate at a rally, and I think it did in this case. Nothing to do with her being black either, if a white candidate started talking like a catholic priest leading mass it would be equally off putting.

The full clip - I get the point he’s trying to make but it’s still not in language I would want a president using. Also given his beef with Cheney using inflammatory language like that is dangerous in the current climate but he doesn’t give a tit about that
Considering the constant inflammatory language the democrats use towards trump and his supporters I’m not sure you’ve a leg to stand on there. It’s dangerous to put out clips saying he wants her shot when there’s nutters out there trying to actually shoot him but you’re perfectly fine with that. I like presidents who don’t like sending their country into endless wars. But still I keep forgetting you guys are all into liz and fool Cheney now 🤣

Some Americans might not like going into wars but they also like being ‘top dog’. Can’t have both

Update on the allegedly malfunctioning voting machine it seems that nobody has been able to replicate what appeared on the recording.


There's also remarks to the effect that on the machines there you have to select a party before you can select a candidate.
And some questioning what might be hidden or disguised by changing hands halfway through the recording but that's such a terribly suspicious attitude to have...

Trump invites all of that with his inflammatory language.

I see he's still pretending to not be part of the elite. Anyone who still falls for that is dumb.

I think it’s hilarious the like of you spend all your time on about Trumps language and rhetoric but always try and insult people who don’t agree with you on your posts 😅

If someone thinks he isn't part of the elite, they are dumb.

But by all means, keep supporting him and his racism, homophobia, transphobia and disablism.

Issues with certain types of voting machines, reports of which being somewhat selectively re-reported by certain social media platform owners, a report without the extra spin:

"Although the issue will not stop people from voting or making their preferred selections, and it will not change anyone's votes, it will make the process more inconvenient for some voters using the VATs," the department said.
Should have been picked up in testing.

Cardi B deployed, only just over 10'000 viewers on YT, is this the best they can get 😬.

I hope Trump chops a cucumber next.

Teleprompter broke

Prepare yourself when Trump declares victory early. Just sayin'. It'll be an interesting stress test. Well ... I say 'interesting', it could turn into a nightmare. Fingers-crossed it won't.

I know I'm generalising and not all American's are the same, but my GAWD they do seem to love a drama. :rolleyes: I think it's something to do with all the extra additives they stuff into their food (if you compare the back of a ketchup bottle in the UK with one in the US you'll see twice as much tit in the US one ... I think it rots their brain or something). :oops: 😬 :cautious:

The blurring of showbiz and what is now considered "politics" in the US. With Elon Musk in the mix it's all so weird and corrupt. What next? Tune in next Tuesday and subscribe to Trump TV to stay one step ahead of all the drama.

“Part of the elite”. Yes, well done, in terms of his money and lifestyle, of course he is. Who cares?

Real elitism is being in the immensely privileged position of sitting on the sidelines constantly shouting racism, homophobia, transphobia and disablism without the faintest interest in - or idea about - the actual daily struggles of ordinary Americans and how that might motivate them to vote.

Elitism is seeing everything through the lens of identity politics because you personally don’t really have any other problems and don’t have the imagination to see that others do. Elitism Is being amazed that women could vote for Trump - and being convinced that the only reason is that these women hate women.

Elitism is the Hollywood crowd, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, George Clooney, the tech giants and the MSM moguls, who have no interest in ordinary working class or even middle class people. It’s the Clintons and the Obamas who utterly failed to live up to their promise, so far removed from ordinary life that they can tell black men that the only reason they might have for not voting for Harris is sexism.

So yes, Trump is wealthy and successful and in that regard “part of the elite”. So what?

Elitism is pretending to care about ordinary Americans and pandering to them, manipulating and playing factions of them off each other whilst putting tax cuts in place that benefit the rich.

Real elitism is when everything one says is presumptuous, posturing and performative, fuelled by a clearly overwhelming sense of importance with no real respect for others.
