You mean the network that had to pay out 780 million for broadcasting Trump's lies? No debate should be held on a network that is obviously compromised.

Better yet, how about honoring the previous agreement you made.

The word "illegally" is the key word here folks, and the video is of the actual "illegal" boarder crossings. None of this is racist. It's something that is happening on the border and it's "illegal". There is absolutely nothing wrong with migrants going to America, the west is a prime example of it, but you have to go through the process, legally! How hard is this for you all to understand? Every country has rules and regulations that every citizens should abide by, and if they don't, they likely going to jail or are fined. This is the same for illegal immigrants. Some of you need to stop playing the racism card cause you clearly have no clue what it means.
Applying for asylum is legal.

What? No. First, real news networks aren’t even partisan. Second, I think it’s ridiculous to change the rules so that it would turn the debate into a circus. Why would you want that? That’s not a D or R thing, it’s common sense. Do you think the other debate was unfair? Do it on Fox, if that makes people happy, but keep the audience out and mute their mics when it’s not their turn to speak.

Got proof, or does just accusing him make it true?

You forgot to leave out the most important part of the story...

Eric Trump, the former president’s son and the vice president of the Trump Organization, told the New York Times the company returned profits from the hotel stays to the Treasury Department. “As a company, we went to tremendous lengths to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest . . . not due to any legal requirement, but because of the respect we have towards the office of the presidency,” Eric Trump said.

Research has shown that racists rarely see the racism in the racist communications they use or endorse. Think on that one for a while. When everyone else is recoiling from something and pointing out racist undertones, and you seem to think it's okay, it may be time for some introspection. To put into context you might understand, and riffing off a comedian who appeals to your intellectual level, "You might be a racist..."

Does proof even matter anymore? We know in Trump World it doesn't. The only thing that matters is having a smarmy response and a bunch of Xwitter posts and likes. Facts no longer have relevance because Trumpists live in a parallel universe based on lies and conspiracy. The only thing that has prevented the dear leader from ending up in prison is a stacked court system of Trump's making. Even when mountains of evidence is piled up in a court of law and a jury of his peers review the evidence and pass judgement of criminality, that holds no value because the dear leader is infallible in the eyes of the cult.

The emoluments clause. You know, that thing in the constitution that is supposed to prevent undue influence and profiteering while in office? You do remember the constitution and its function? I mean you're so serious and know so much about this subject you should be able to give us a graduate studies class on the subject, right?

All they need do is utter the word asylum and they are granted those protections until their request is processed. It is no different than uttering the word lawyer when being questioned by the police. A process begins at that point and rules must be followed to protect your rights and you person from all threats. As long as you present yourself to USCIS agent, regardless of how you arrived or your current status, and claim asylum, you are then afforded the opportunity to complete your I-589 for consideration.

Trump told his nephew to let son with disabilities die

Quote:
Fred recounts two incidents in which his uncle questioned whether people like William should be given the freedom to live and thrive in our country. First, he shares the story of how the former president met with disability rights advocates in 2020. Fred helped to facilitate the discussion, and initially thought his uncle was receptive to the idea of improving government policies for people with disabilities. After the meeting, Fred spoke privately with his uncle in the Oval Office. The president complained about the financial cost of caring for people with severe disabilities, and then said: “The shape they’re in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die.”
Quote:
Fred relates another conversation in which he asked his uncle to financially assist with William’s care. “I don’t know,” Donald responded. “He doesn’t recognize you. Maybe you should just let him die and move down to Florida.” After recovering from the shock of hearing those words, Fred forcefully asserted that his son does recognize his own father.

Got facts to back up those direct Trump quotes?

Trump loves all of his family. Especially his daughter.

After his uncle was elected president in 2016, Fred Trump saw an opportunity to advocate for the disabled, he said.

"I was in the Oval Office 12 times about. And that was our mission: to advocate for people with complex disabilities," he said.

He added, "It culminated in May of 2020 in the Oval Office. Donald was there, and he was very gracious. Several other folks were there, including the group that we brought down. We dispersed. I was asked to go back and see Donald. He greeted me with his familiar, 'Hey, pal. How's it going?'"

He says he "sat down for a bit" with his uncle.

"And he just came out with, 'These people, all the expenses. They should just die,'" Fred Trump recalled. "He's talking about human beings who have complex issues, and the first thing he could say was they should just die."

Fred Trump said the comment wasn't an isolated incident. He described a phone call to alert his uncle that the medical fund set up by the family for his son William was running low, a fund he says his uncle consistently replenished.

"A couple of years ago … I called him. I said, 'Donald, the fund's running out.' And without hesitation, he said, 'Your son doesn't recognize you. Let him die and move to Florida,'" Fred Trump said.

There were no bad choices of the three she was considering, IMO, but I'm looking forward to seeing more from Walz as he's probably the most compelling from a pure entertainment standpoint.

Walz has been key in the messaging that seems to be turning this election in favor of democrats. Labelling them as "weird" has resonated deeply with almost everyone not in the cult.

Walz is just so likeable, I like the pick a lot. No guarantee Harris would win PA just because she picked Shapiro, just like there’s no guarantee she won’t just because she didn’t. Walz is very easy to relate to, should help everywhere.

Yes, we should totally trust the word of any of the Trumps that have been involved in his presidency.


Your "hero" is a convicted felon, proven fraudster, adjudicated rapist, has talked about how sexy his daughter is, has mocked disabled people and women, refused to rent his properties to black people, and his name is all over the Epstein files.


He's a POS and so is anyone that follows him.
