That’s what I was wondering. He’s so desperate for money and never sees the consequences of his actions.crashes the price even further/

"The time is always right to do what is right"
George Conway has done a good job here. It needs to be used by the Dems all over the media, instead of them "interpreting" his ramblings, and thereby aiding the fucker. The bit at the end is the chef's kissThis is Trump's full statement on child care. As I said, a previous quote missed out the bit where he said it would be funded by import tariffs. This one is much clearer:
eta: that's actually from Analysis: Trump’s incomprehensible child care comments appear to have broken a dam
which is quite a good piece saying that media in the US is sanitizing Trump's comments by describing them and that they should really be quoting what he actually says.

Even the odious Dick Cheney has come out in support of Harris. A sign hopefully that even those who're only a handful of steps up the (a)moral ladder from trump realise the consequences of another trump administration.

Given the way Trump and the MAGATS have treated Liz Cheney, it's no surprise that her dad is publicly opposing Trump. As with the chips of the McCain block, it is personal

Glenn breaks down Judge Merchan's decision to delay sentencing on the orange pos. It makes sense, but it does look as if the creature has got away with his shit again. I want to see the fucker suffer.

You've likely phrased it correctly, the loathsome Cheney senior seeing it first and foremost as an opportunity to point score. All about him. But, if it makes other MAGAs pause for thought, then it's a positive. Liz Cheney (the good Cheney) has been very vocal about her disgust with trump for a long time so her endorsement of Harris is coming from a committed, informed place, unlike his. No pats on the back for bitter and twisted him.
Very restrained, I thought, all things considered... although I don't care for the depraved, misogynistic trump/vance being likened to animals. Pigs are lovely. Do better.

I've seen no evidence in the OT that the Abrahamic tradition cares the least bit about reverence for life. Half the OT is talking about God point this way or other and telling the people to go kill all the men, women, children, and oxen. Then, there's the first born of Egypt. Not exactly pro-life there either. And, I haven't even gotten to the way this god's followers have acted over these last few thousand years.

The thing is though it's basically free money for him isn't it. It's not like he's invested billions in it he stands to lose. If he can sell for a billion say that might be a massive nominal loss compared to what they were supposedly worth a few months ago but it's a massive profit in terms of actual realised $$$.

He's based much of his career on pauperising small to medium-scale investors and contractors, whilst letting the banks who keep bailing him out deal with the larger ones via his various rescue/refinancing deals.
Trump sees the consequences very well but simply doesn't care about them - and if it wasn't blindingly obvious before, he admitted as much in cross examination at his business fraud trial.

I was using the term relatively to distinguish her and her Harris endorsement motivations from her father's.
The bar is so grimly low in terms of what currently constitutes 'good'. I'm happy to go with the now of her, that she's speaking out against trump.

Do the electorate at large remember Cheney? He may have been the brain inside Dubya, and one of the chief architects of the Iraq war, but was he even that famous when he left office, sixteen years ago?

Harris and Trump tied in latest US election polls, as Tuesday’s debate nears
National and swing-state polling indicates a narrow race, with support for Trump remaining solid despite his change of Democratic rival

yeah - the initial momentum and poll boost got the dems quite giddy - but polls seemed to have stablised at neck and neck. This is depite Trumps visible deterioation and such appallling crass moments like "thumbs up over the graves of veterens" - and again we are back to "why would anyone vote for the sack of shit?" - tbh none of the reasons offered really satisfactoily explain how he is attracting nearly half of americas voters.Still neck and neck in national polls and swing states.

I mean - obviosuly there is widespread disatisfaction and unhappiness with the state of the nation and significent amount of deprivation - but there isnt things like mass unemployment, widespread societal breakdown, hyper inflation etc going down - i.e the kind of things that historically give rise to fascism and similar (and even at their peak in germany the Nazis only ever got 33% of the vote) . In other western countries the populist right provokes enought of a push back to keep them below 30% (and with far more credilbe candidates than Trump - and tbh has there ever been a worse potentailly winning candidate anywhere - ever) - its a proper headscatcher and deeply troubling .

Whenever I ask my neighbors why they support Trump they always say "yes, I know he's an asshole, but the economy was better." It's almost the exact same words every time. I think the pervasiveness of right-wing propaganda channels like Newsmax and Fox really give the GOP an edge.

In other countries the populist right has generally come about as a new party which is to varying degrees outside the historical mainstream of that country hasn't it. I think what you can see with Trump is the advantages of doing it within one of the established parties. For me I think there's a much bigger risk in the UK of someone genuinely far right coming through as Tory leader than there is of Refuk or whoever gaining power.
