Trump not willing to do second debate with Kam - Chickens out against a girl LOL

[paxmao]

This is a very good point that Trump was fact-checked but Kamala Harris was not fact-checked. Perhaps the debate wouldn't have been considered close if Kamala Harris was also fact-checked five times.

If Kamala would have made 5 false claims that were as ridiculous and provably false as the 5 Trump that Trump got fact checked on, then you would have pointed them out.  The only one I noticed was when she took Trumps blood bath comment out of context (he was talking about the auto industry or something at the time, she made it seem like he was talking about the country generally).

So...what are you saying?  You think they should have fact checked Kamala when she wasn't lying?  Pretty sure you'd be crying even harder if that happened. 

I think they are not happy when the moderator uses his freedom of speech to point out some basic facts they are only in favour of certain type of freedom - their own not others.

If you say that people are eating the pets of others, you should know you will be questioned. If Kam was lying - or rather giving full blown false information that is simply not true under any possible consideration - she would have been fact checked just the same.

The alleged whistleblower, whose name is redacted, claims to be an ABC News employee with knowledge that the network provided the Harris campaign with sample questions, promised the campaign it would only fact-check Trump and agreed not to ask questions on topics the Harris campaign deemed off-topic. The document is dated Sept. 9, a day before the debate.

“We're going to do what we can to bring ABC in and have them answer some questions, as well as have this whistleblower and see what's going on as they're trying to tear down the First Amendment,” said Meuser, a member of the House Financial Services Committee.

What about this?
Maybe not going for a second debate is the right choice if this is confirmed?

You forget to add the source of the information:

"cited an unconfirmed whistleblower affidavit circulating on social media among right-wing figures — including a Jan. 6, 2021, riot defendant and a news site with a history of posting misinformation and conspiracy theories. It appears to have originated on the account of a Trump supporter who posts anonymously. "

It is normal to hear several conspiracy theories about how Harris was able to defeat Trump in the debate. There was news that her earrings were a wireless audio-enabled device. When Biden lost woefully to Trump, Democrats had to go back and fix their problems. Trump now lost, and Republicans are complaining and claiming foul play.  Trump is simply avoiding another debate because he is scared that it will cause more harm.

If Trump is chickening out, its to keep from wasting time. Polls can be made to say anything. If you run a poll, why wouldn't you make ti to favor your favorite, no matter how you found the polled people to have 'voted'.


We've never seen anything like this: Trump's latest endorsement is so crazy, we did a triple


https://revolver.news/2024/09/never-seen-anything-like-this-latest-trump-endorsement-so-crazy-we-did-a-triple-take/
Team Harris/Walz is in absolute shambles. Just last week, the Teamsters refused to endorse her—for the first time since the Clinton era. But how could they endorse Harris when internal polling showed over 60 percent of their members are backing President Trump?


But it was this latest Trump endorsement that was so unexpected, it had us getting whiplash. We did a triple-take.

As some of you may know, a city in swing state Michigan called Hamtramck went from being a haven for Polish families to being overrun by Muslims. It's now lost its Polish luster and is the only all-Muslim-run city in America—not exactly a claim to fame, in our book. So you can imagine why we did a triple take when we heard that the mayor of Hamtramck has actually endorsed President Trump in 2024.

The art of the deal, indeed.

Politics makes for some strange bedfellows, but when you're fighting for the very soul of your country, it's understandable that you may inadvertantly team up with unlikely allies to get across the finish line—especially when you're staring down the very real possibility of another "2020 cheat-fest." And let's be honest, these are the same people who stood up against the "gender confusion" being pushed in local schools, so like it or not, we do have some common ground.

But the real bottom line is that in Trump, many Arabs and Muslims in America see a hope for peace.

Breitbart:

Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively that he is excited that Ameer Ghalib, the Muslim Democrat mayor of Hamtramck, Michigan, has endorsed his campaign for president against Vice President Kamala Harris.

"I was very impressed with him and he was a very big fan of the Trump administration because he saw no wars — outside of defeating ISIS, but I inherited that — but there were no wars," Trump told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview Sunday afternoon. "There was no October 7. There was no Russian attack on Ukraine. He sees that and he told me — he saw a world that was at peace. Now, we have a world that's going to end up in World War 3 and I can stop that. I'm the only one that's going to stop that."

I did not forget anything. You could use the provided link to read the whole story, as you obviously did.

I would not go as far as to claiming she had an earpiece, but we're talking about a man who is known by name. He's anonymous to the media, but not completely anonymous. The court and members of Congress would not make a big deal out of it if the thing was some anonymous tip. Also, as I said, MAYBE he's right about not looking for another debate because if this gets confirmed it could be big.

It's also interesting how badly Harris wants another debate. Usually it's the loser that seeks a rematch.

Uhhh.....yeah they would.  Congress at least.

Remember when congress found out that an FBI informant had claimed Biden and Hunter were making millions of the Ukranian gas company.  The FBI told them the guy was full of shit.  The evidence told them the guy was full of shit.  But they went ahead and opened up official impeachment proceedings based on what this guy claimed.

Ooops.

Ex-FBI source charged with Biden lies is tied to Russian intelligence, prosecutors say

The former FBI informant charged with fabricating claims about a bribery scheme involving Joe Biden, his son Hunter and a Ukrainian energy company has "extensive" contacts with Russian intelligence agencies, according to the Justice Department.

Federal prosecutors also say in a new court filing that Alexander Smirnov admitted to authorities after he was arrested that "officials associated with Russian intelligence were involved in passing a story" about President Biden's son, Hunter Biden.

Smirnov, a longtime FBI informant, was arrested last week and charged with making false statements and creating a false and fictitious record.

If they think it will help them politically, it doesn't matter if it's true or not.  It only matters if they think they could convince enough Americans to believe it's true.

At this point I am much more convinced about the link between Putin and Trump than anything related to Biden in Ukraine. It is a far simpler explanation to the Trump strategy or lack thereof for Ukraine other than promising he will end the war in vague terms, without any particular condition to it. Doing so at this point can only be done in two ways: removing Putin and a large part of its government - by military victory or other means or by giving them what they want. So... guess which one is it.
