Hey I wish you all well I don't like this tit for tat crap like I said many times if Harris wins I will hope for the best for out country.
try not to hate so much you'll see how easy life can be. gl all.
Sorry, Harris did not lie. She DID wipe the floor with Donnie. And as always, he lied every time he opened his giant mouth. And then he made what Rick Wilson calls his "duck face", in which he sticks out his lower lip.
https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/cnn-did-not-report-that-harris-made-17-false-claims-during-debate-2024-09-23/
In his four years as president, he lied more than 30,000 times. No other president has come remotely close.
Thats all you got ? he lied more than Harris? weak niether should lie
And then somehow you feel better if you cut Trump down . This thread is what you accuse the maga people of being.
The Trump bitch board.
A pressure campaign from Donald Trump and Republican allies to change Nebraska election law was dealt a significant setback on Monday as a pivotal Omaha state senator said he would not support a last-ditch effort to overturn a 30-year law that awards electoral votes by congressional district rather than statewide winner-take-all.
State Sen. Mike McDonnell, a former Democrat who joined the GOP earlier this year, said in a statement Monday that he would not vote to change the law in Nebraska before the November election.
“After deep consideration, it is clear to me that right now, 43 days from Election Day, is not the moment to make this change,” McDonnell said. “I have notified Governor (Jim) Pillen that I will not change my long-held position and will oppose any attempted changes to our electoral college system before the 2024 election.”
McDonnell was seen as one of the last best hopes from Republicans to change the law before November. He made clear that he had no interest in supporting a change so close to the election.
Life Accordion To Trump
I worked for a private company and got the FBI to go after a man who fled with his wife and two kids leaving his home, furniture, clothes, and food in fridge. They caught him a year later and he got five years. He never had a clue who was responsible. It only took two calls the last call was to the factor who was factoring bogus medical bills. Within 12 hours his company had a padlock on their door and he was on the run.
Another of his "tells" when he is unleashing a whopper is his accordian motion with his tiny hands.
Mark Robinson Is the Perfect 2024 Republican Candidate
This guy fell out of the wackadoo tree and hit every damn branch on the way down.
By Charles P. PiercePublished: Sep 23, 2024 10:18 AM EDT
I have a modest proposal to bring before the country. It is my considered opinion that we’d all be much better off if the Republicans were to stop inflicting candidates on the rest of us who seem to have been recruited from the nuthouse.
Our latest example is Mark Robinson, the GOP lieutenant governor of the newly insane state of North Carolina who is currently the Republican candidate for the top job. Robinson fell out of the wackadoo tree and hit every damn branch on the way down.
By the way, that was apparent even before this week, when the trolley went off the track for good. From The New York Times:
Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson of North Carolina, the Republican nominee for governor with a long history of inflammatory and offensive remarks in the battleground state, on Thursday vowed to stay in the race as CNN reported that he had once called himself a “black NAZI!” and defended slavery on a pornographic forum.
In an 82-second video released before the CNN article had published, Mr. Robinson sought to undercut the report, which unearthed old comments that he had reportedly made on “Nude Africa,” a pornographic site with a message board. Mr. Robinson, a social conservative who has been a strident opponent of transgender rights, also posted about how he enjoyed watching transgender pornography, according to CNN, describing himself as a “perv” who liked “tranny on girl porn.”
This is not the kind of lede that any consultant wants to see written about his candidate. That is especially true when the candidate in question has already established his high-wingnut bona fides by doing things like bad-mouthing the survivors of the Parkland school shooting and confessing to being, to be generous, at least Hitler-curious. The CNN story in question is insanely detailed and the details are…well, insane.
Yet privately under the username minisoldr on Nude Africa, Robinson graphically described his own sexual arousal as an adult from the memory of secretly “peeping” on women in public gym showers as a 14-year-old. Robinson recounted the story as a memory he said he still fantasized about.
None of this prevented the former president* from calling Robinson “Martin Luther King on steroids.” CNN explains:
Robinson, who would become North Carolina’s first Black governor if elected, also repeatedly maligned civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., attacking him in such intense terms that a user accused him of being a white supremacist. “Get that f*cking commie bastard off the National Mall!” Robinson wrote about the dedication of the memorial to King in Washington, DC, by then-President Barack Obama. “I’m not in the KKK. They don’t let blacks join. If I was in the KKK I would have called him Martin Lucifer Koon!” Robinson responded.
Robinson’s unique choice of language further links him to the “minisoldr” alias on the pornographic forums. Uncommon phrases such as “gag a maggot,” “dunder head,” “I don’t give a frogs a**,” and “I don’t give two shakes of it” were used both by minisoldr on Nude Africa and by Robinson on his personal Facebook page.
Look, I happen to live in a state severely lacking in crazy under the color of law. Here in the Commonwealth (God save it!), our pols are occasionally crooked, and occasionally stupid, and even, very occasionally, Republicans. But even our Republicans generally color inside the lines.
I mean, Mitt Romney was our governor, for pity’s sake. He was shifty, and he doesn’t have the intellectual honesty God gave a ferret, but there was a certain comfort in going to bed at night knowing that you weren’t going to wake up to a story about Willard surfing around a website called Nude Mormon.
But the Republican insistence on nominating crazy people elsewhere affects us all. If you nominate and elect Tommy Tuberville to the United States Senate, we all have to pay a price. If you allow rancid weeds like Matt Gaetz and Paul Gosar and Marjorie Taylor Greene to grow at your grassroots, cut them off before I have to put up with them.
I remember when it looked like Nevada was going to inflict Sharron (The Chicken Lady) Angle and Maryland was going to hand us the famous non-witch Christine O’Donnell, and I thought that truly was one step beyond. Turns out there is no Beyond. Mark Robinson is proof of that. He should stay on the ballot. He is the perfect GOP candidate for 2024.
This is entirely on the Republicans. It’s up to them to shut down the asylum. It’s up to them to pull up the drawbridge at the doors of Bedlam. The Democratic party’s job is to beat the crazy people, over and over again, until Being Nuts is no longer a viable political strategy in this country. As I said, I’m willing to tolerate a certain amount of crookedness and a certain amount of political duplicity. I’ll even celebrate a certain amount of chicanery, as long as it is well wrought and does no lasting damage. Those are the things that leaven the bread of self-government.
Sorry, Harris did not lie. She DID wipe the floor with Donnie. And as always, he lied every time he opened his giant mouth. And then he made what Rick Wilson calls his "duck face", in which he sticks out his lower lip.
In his four years as president, he lied more than 30,000 times. No other president has come remotely close.
I'm getting tired of it. There was a 90 minute debate, for which Harris was very, very well prepared. Trump was not prepared at all, and made a fool of himself. Obviously the debate was "unscripted". And Harris speaks off the cuff with reporters nearly every day.
Harris lied thru out the whole debate just like her commercials now.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/video/news/mark-levin-kamala-harris-campaign-is-the-most-diabolical-campaign-in-modern-american-history/vi-AA1qYwtA
And last I don't think many people care if your getting tired of it or not. sorry
Can’t argue there. No end in sight with a man who fabricates so easily.
Yes, that's what HE says when he's caught. That he's "joking", or "being sarcastic". And his sucker base repeats that.
Diehard trumplicans say he’s only kidding!
Yes. What's scary is not that Trump is a pathological liar; he alway has been. It's that so many people are willing to disregard it, and even to say his lies are truth.
As Twain pointed out lying is nothing new. But Trump has taken it to a whole new level as the book points out.
When facts are staring you in the face people are now simply denying it ever happened.
I am unconvinced. He seems to have forgotten that there are a great many people who're terrified of Trump.
And I think MacKinnon is wrong about this:
The next “canary in the coal mine” is the International Brotherhood of Teamsters non-endorsement endorsement of Donald Trump. For the first time in over 20 years, the Teamsters did not endorse the Democratic candidate. Instead, their leadership chose to endorse no one.
Why? Because that leadership was shocked to find that almost 60 percent of its rank-and-file membership — those would be fearful working-class Americans — have indicated they are going to vote for Trump over Harris. What is noteworthy here is that when Biden was still in the race, Trump was actually trailing him, 44 percent to 36 percent. As with the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, the more Americans see of Harris, the less they like her or trust her.
I have a simpler explanation: a lot of blue collar men hesitate to vote for a woman. There are still a lot of people--including quite a few women--who, though they wouldn't want to say it out loud, don't think women should hold high political office. Also: they don't "like" Kamala? They DO like Trump? Does MacKinnon believe, like the Donald, that those rally photos are enhanced by AI? Please.
And what bullshit is this?
That goes double when they realize that Harris refuses to do real interviews or hold an unscripted press conference. Those I speak with also raise the fear that she is hiding something while being controlled by others.
I'm getting tired of it. There was a 90 minute debate, for which Harris was very, very well prepared. Trump was not prepared at all, and made a fool of himself. Obviously the debate was "unscripted". And Harris speaks off the cuff with reporters nearly every day.
What? What post are you replying to?
There's an interesting article about Robinson in Jay Kuo's The Status Kuo Substack feed:
Robinson Implodes
The most recent revelations about the North Carolina gubernatorial candidate threaten to swamp the Trump campaign and the GOP.
JAY KUO
SEP 23
If you’ve been a regular reader of this column lately, you understand that North Carolina is pretty much a must-win for Trump. If Harris takes the state and its 16 Electoral College votes, her chances of winning the White House grow from “somewhat likely” to “very likely.”
That’s why the Trump campaign is having a very bad few days as the fallout from the Mark Robinson porn site scandal begins in earnest.
I wrote on Friday about Robinson’s nearly unbelievable statements on an adult entertainment user bulletin board back in the early 2010s. The evidence that he actually made these statements is so strong, and the statements themselves so bad, that his campaign is in freefall and the GOP is running for cover.
In today’s piece, I’ll helicopter over the wasteland that is now Robinson’s candidacy, including his ineffectual denials and how some MAGA supporters are trying to cope. Then I’ll look at the big shake-up in Robinson’s staff that has election watchers already ringing funeral bells for his campaign. Finally, I’ll review how the Trump campaign and GOP leaders are dealing with this radioactive blast site. Spoiler alert: Pretending it’s not corroding their party’s chances isn’t going well.
The AI did it, not me!
For much of this election cycle, we worried about how AI might disrupt things and poison an already fragile information ecosystem. What we didn’t expect was for Trump to point to AI and falsely claim that the crowds at Harris’s rallies were computer-generated, nor for a scandal-ridden candidate like Robinson to play the “AI-did-it” card. AI has become the new bogeyman for inconvenient or damning truths.
On CNN, reporter Andrew Kaczynski asked Robinson how he could deny—with all the matching details about his email and username “minisoldr” across multiple platforms from way back in the 2010s—that he was in fact the one who wrote the vile, racist and pornographic material appearing on the Nude Africa site. Robinson responded,
“Look, I’m not going to get into the minutiae of how somebody manufactured all these salacious tabloid lies. But I can tell you this: There’s been over $1 million spent on me through AI by a billionaire’s son who’s bound and determined to destroy me. The things that people can do with the internet are incredible.”
As Mike Nellis from the Harris Campaign correctly noted, “AI is powerful, but it can’t rewrite history from 15 years ago.”
It’s important to recognize that Robinson’s porn site statements are in keeping with what he has said and posted publicly. They include calling homosexuality and transgenderism “filth” and arguing that abortion “isn’t about protecting the lives of mothers” but about “killing the child because you weren't responsible enough to keep your skirt down or your pants up and not get pregnant by your own choice because you felt like getting your groove thing on.” The porn bulletin comments only confirmed how extreme and unfit for office Robinson truly is.
Democratic candidate for North Carolina governor and current state Attorney General Josh Stein said it best in his interview over the weekend on CNN with Jake Tapper:
“Mark Robinson is absolutely unfit to be the governor of North Carolina. And that was true before your story broke last Thursday. The story has only served to underline and put an exclamation on that fact.”
MAGA cope
Polls show that around 40 percent of the electorate continued to support Robinson for governor despite his long history of extremism and vitriolic hate. No doubt to the frustration of many, we should understand that even these recent revelations may not put much of a dent into that number.
Like their unwavering support for Donald Trump, nothing seems to faze MAGA voters about Robinson. As Raw Story summarized, several MAGA supporters of Robinson interviewed by CNN are standing by their man. Here is a smattering of what Trump-rally goers said when asked about them:
70-year-old Bob Judson explained, “I didn’t put much credence in it. We’ve all done things in our past that we’re sorry for. Some of the things are crazy,” before adding, “I mean if we just went on that, we wouldn’t be here for Trump, would we?”
Connie Wittmer, after having some of Robinson's comments on the porn site described to her, admitted, “That disturbs me,” but was noncommittal over whether it will change her vote.
Kirk Giles, 50, asserted that it is kind of a guy thing. “There’s not a man alive that’s never looked at porn or did something stupid on porn because we’re men. That’s what men do," he admitted.
But it’s not die-hard Trumpers that the GOP should be worried about losing. There remains a gettable five or six percent of “undecideds” who will likely determine the outcome of the election. If some of the more Republican-leaning ones don’t show up out of disgust, or if this causes more of the fence-sitters to vote Democratic at the last minute, it could easily tip the entire state in the presidential race.
Indeed, in an increasingly purple state where election outcomes are largely defined by enthusiasm, an embarrassing, gaping hole at the top of the state ticket spells potential doom for Republicans, including those hoping to hold on to their state legislative supermajority.
Rats off a ship
On Sunday, Robinson announced the departure of top campaign officials, including his campaign manager, deputy campaign manager and finance chair. In fact, so many have fled that there are reportedly only three people still working on his campaign.
That now leaves open a huge question: Who will be in charge? With just six weeks to go until Election Day and early voting starting very soon, there isn’t much time to course correct. And there are even fewer experienced campaign managers who would be willing to tie themselves to this sinking boat.
Enter convicted felon Jack Burkman, who announced on Twitter last night that he will be the new campaign manager for Robinson. (The Robinson campaign has not independently confirmed this.) Burkman’s tweet was met with widespread derision. After all, as Mediaite reports, Burkman “is most famous for pushing conspiracy theories about the Democratic National Convention hack during the 2016 presidential election, as well as pushing smears against Democratic lawmaker Pete Buttigieg during his 2020 presidential campaign and Dr. Anthony Fauci.”
Burkman also created a completely fabricated story about Elizabeth Warren alleging, in part, that the Massachusetts senator (checks notes) had an extramarital affair with a body-building ex-Marine in his mid-20s that also involved heavy BDSM play.
On a more serious note, Burkman was also part of a multistate fraud scheme using robocalls to spread election misinformation to 5,500 Black voters in 2020. He and his co-conspirator Jacob Wohl were found liable and eventually settled with New York Attorney General Letitia James by paying $1.25 million in fines.
Today, Burkman still regularly posts ridiculous and false political claims on social media:
This response was just too good not to share:
If Burkman really is the new guy, it is a match made in hell between two miscreants who deserve each other. In Burkman’s hands, Robinson will likely wind up with criminal charges on top of his current electoral woes. That’s the kind of vibe Burkman brings to nearly everything he touches.
Cringey GOP moments
Over the weekend, there were some awkward interview moments as GOP politicians responded to reporters’ questions about Robinson. Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas dodged direct questions, telling CNN’s Jake Tapper only that the allegations were “concerning” and that Robinson owes the people of North Carolina “more answers.”
Vice Presidential nominee JD Vance similarly squirmed around Robinson-related questions, saying, “I don’t not believe him” before leaving the question to the “court of public opinion.”
It seems when they’re not dodging questions about race-baiting immigrants, they’re dodging questions about the man at the top of the ticket in a critical battleground state.
Over the weekend, Donald Trump, who once praised Robinson as “Martin Luther King on steroids,” appeared at a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina with Robinson nowhere in sight. Trump’s team did not respond to questions about whether the ex-president stands by Robinson. Yet there is trouble brewing around Trump’s public endorsement of the disgraced candidate. As NBC News reported,
There are pockets of advisers within the Trump campaign who have quietly been urging him to withdraw his endorsement of Robinson, but so far those requests have fallen on deaf ears, according to a campaign official who, like others in this piece, was granted anonymity to speak about the matter freely.
Additionally, Republican members of the North Carolina congressional delegation, including Sens. Ted Budd and Thom Tillis, and Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley, who is from North Carolina, planned to privately urge Trump to pull his endorsement of Robinson, according to a person familiar with the conversations.
It’s hard to discount the fact that Trump feels the need to play defense in North Carolina, or that reverse coattails from Robinson’s failing candidacy could swamp his own electoral chances. As Politico reported, GOP officials in North Carolina believe Robinson’s actual chances of winning the seat are now nearly “nonexistent.” Money has also dried up: While Stein’s campaign plans to spend $13 million in TV ads, a super PAC affiliated with the Republican Governors Association has only $397,000 booked for Robinson, according to AdImpact.
One fact is inescapable for Republicans: Robinson is a full-out MAGA creation, a right-wing troll with a highly questionable past who rode to power by garnering attention through his outrageous statements and actions. The GOP lavished praise upon Robinson because it pleased their base to witness his rise. But now the troll is out of the cave and in the harsh glare of sunlight, his skin smoking badly from exposure, and all of America can see him for what he is.
Trump and the GOP now have to pretend they aren’t somehow standing right next to that troll, their earlier accolades still ringing in voters’ ears. With just six weeks to go and the race still balanced on a knife’s edge across the battleground states, this is the last place the Trump campaign wants to be: right beside a monster, back on its heels, and stuck in some pretty nasty political tar.
No, I haven't read it, but if one takes a larger view of the history of the world, it becomes immediately obvious that truth has rarely been considered important. Rulers weren't interested in it. Religious leaders weren't interested in it. They, like Trump and his circle, were interested in power.
The only reason our country has to some extent valued the truth is because it was formed during the Enlightenment. The ideals of the Enlightenment are enshrined in our constitution. And so far, we've stuck with that. But Trump, as he's even acknowledged, wouldn't be sorry to do away with it.
That is NOT what the FBI said it's concerned about. It and other government agencies are concerned about DOMESTIC terrorism:
thats not what they said and remember there is 1 million got aways .
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/fbi-director-warns-dangerous-individuals-coming-southern-border/story?id=108024830
As for abortion: we are made with redundant reproductive capacities, like all animals. Women COULD have one or more children every nine months. Obviously, we don't do that. Only JD Vance would think it was a good idea. But we're built with extra eggs, in case some of our offspring die, or we're prevented from raising families by famine, war, or other disasters.
In the world we've created for ourselves, we needn't give birth constantly. Preventing endless pregnancy is best accomplished with the use of contraceptives, but many Republicans don't approve of that, either. However, contraception can fail. When that happens, women should have abortion as an alternative. From 1973 to 2022, women did have that alternative. Now they no longer do, and some have died, or nearly died, as a result of getting inadequate care for miscarriages or dangerous health problems that required treatment that necessitated the termination of a pregnancy.
Women and many man are outraged about this. You will, perhaps, understand that better in November.
please show me with a link where any republican doesn'approve of contraceptives
Trump does not want to apply tariffs selectively; he wants to apply a 10% tariff to everything made outside the U.S. Though he won't admit it, or is too dumb to understand the issue, that's a giant sales tax. He thinks we should produce everything we use? Mussolini wanted to do that. It turned out very badly.
https://hbr.org/2021/12/a-new-approach-to-rebalancing-the-u-s-china-trade-deficit
China currently sells four times to the United States what the United States sells to it. Given China’s systemic production cost advantage, which now averages 30% to 35% even when shipping costs are included, and Beijing’s determination to replace imports of America’s superior technology-intensive products, such as semiconductors and jet aircraft, with its own, nothing short of a ceiling on total U.S. imports from China is likely to reduce the trade gap.
10% seems modest
And as for the border bill, you're yet again wrong. It was a good enough bill; the toughest that's ever come up for a vote. Ask James Lankford, the extremely conservative senator from Oklahoma who was its sponsor, and who wrote most of it.
It really doesn't matter who wrote it, it was crap still allowed up to 6 million illegals in to the U S in 4 yrs.
The Borowitz Report- Melania Says She is Proud of Nude Modeling But Embarrassed About Marriage
https://www.borowitzreport.com/p/melania-says-she-is-proud-of-nude
NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—In a new video released on Monday to promote her forthcoming book, Melania Trump revealed that she is proud of her nude modeling work but “deeply embarrassed” about her marriage.
“I’m glad that I posed for those nude photos, which are an artistic celebration of the female form,” she asserted. “Conversely, there are pictures of me with Donald Trump all over the Internet and I can't take them down."
"I ask the American people to focus on my nude modeling and try to forget about the other thing,” she added.
While admitting there was “no excuse” for having married Trump, she said, "You do things for money when you're young that you regret for the rest of your life.”
Not interested. PE is too high and no divy. Maybe good for a bounce.
As for FDX they are starting to hire and I like the dividend. I picked up some shares this morning.
So back in the biblical day there was also 'people are saying'?
They said Noah........
Funny, I don't recall Noah being called out as a conspiracy theorist. To the contrary:
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%206%3A9-9%3A17&version=NIV
Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God.
You will find nothing to contradict the fact check of bitchute. It is widely reviled by anyone who has respect for facts and evidence

Stein should win the governor's seat. The vote for president is a toss up. Obama actually won the state in his first election and we have continued to a Democrat as governor. In 2022 we finally won enough seats to take away the super majority the GOP had to override a veto then some bitch from Charlotte switched parties to the GOP.
I am on my 3rd or 4th Congressional district thanks to GOP gerrymandering. Every election now I have to look up what district I'm in.
It's the down ballot elections I'm most concerned about.
That Robinson is claiming it was all AI invented.
Which no one believes. It is most certainly possible to tell what's AI-generated and what isn't.
It doesn't matter whether AI existed back then. What you're missing is truth died long ago. Apparently you didn't read the book which I have recommended several times. Read the book.

Mike Johnson Nears a Deal With Dems in Last-Ditch Bid to Avoid Shutdown
TRY TRY AGAIN
The House speaker will try again to avert a government shutdown, this time with a “bare-bones” continuing resolution.
Mikey, AKA little Moses, is about to have his feckless ass handed to him.........again. Too late to save his fascist orange fk's ass, but it's all good.😏

House Speaker Mike Johnson has reportedly secured a tentative agreement with his Democratic colleagues in both chambers of Congress to avert a rapidly approaching government shutdown.
The development comes less than a week after defections in his own party defeated the speaker’s attempt to pass a spending bill paired with extra legislation prohibiting non-citizens from voting.
The new spending bill will be “a very narrow, bare-bones CR including only the extensions that are absolutely necessary,” Johnson said in a letter to colleagues on Sunday. He brokered the deal with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Democrats, according to The Washington Post.
Congress has until Sept. 30 to fund the government before facing a shutdown.
Johnson previously tried to pass a spending bill with the SAVE Act attached—a Trump-endorsed bill that would ban states from registering non-citizens as voters. Fourteen Republicans joined Democrats to defeat the bill last week.
“Since we fell a bit short of the goal line, an alternative plan is now required,” Johnson wrote in a letter on Sunday. “The feedback and ideas from everyone have been very helpful, and next week the House will take the initiative and pass a clean, three-month CR to prevent the Senate from jamming us with a bill loaded with billions in new spending and unrelated provisions.”
The new bill would fund the government through Dec. 20. It also includes an additional $231 million in funding for the Secret Service to “carry out protective operations, including activities related to National Special Security Events and the 2024 Presidential Campaign.”
Johnson admitted the new bill was “not the solution any of us prefer,” but said funding the government was necessary so close to the election.
“As history has taught and current polling affirms, shutting the government down less than 40 days from a fateful election would be an act of political malpractice,” Johnson wrote, citing a survey that found a majority of voters, including moderates and swing voters, oppose a shutdown.
Schumer said in a statement Sunday that he was hopeful that both sides would be able to come together by the end of the week to pass Johnson’s bill—if the normally disjointed House Republican caucus continues to cooperate.
“If both sides continue to work in good faith, I am hopeful that we can wrap up work on the CR this week, well before the September 30 deadline,” Schumer said in a statement. “The key to finishing our work this week will be bipartisan cooperation, in both chambers.”
In a statement released on Sunday evening, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) also offered light praise of the new legislation, which the congressman called “devoid of any partisan, right-wing policy changes that House Republicans inappropriately attempted to jam into the appropriations legislation.”
He added that his Democratic colleagues would “collectively evaluate the spending legislation in its entirety.”

I think it'd be a GREAT opportunity for Laura!
I'd love to see the posting of those jobs on Indeed.com
And a list of who respond to those postings (other than Laura Loomer).
Yep. That deadline was missed the other day. Good to see Republicans shooting themselves in the foot.
But really, HOW did he get this far? It's hard to believe enough people in North Carolina agree with him that he was elected to the second-highest state office.
Or is the right word "scary"?
That Robinson is claiming it was all AI invented.
Which no one believes. It is most certainly possible to tell what's AI-generated and what isn't. In addition, the stuff CNN found is from years ago, before AI was just a few clicks away. And the resignation of all or most of his campaign staff suggests they believe the article was accurate. As Lindsey Graham seems to do as well. JD Vance, of course, does not: he was asked some questions today, and seems to be cool with Robinson's thoughts about slavery.
Glad he's not a neighbor. Perhaps you should let Wikipedia know.
It's too late to take his name off the ballot.
No dumbass I worked on the deposit side and was also the BSA officer. I put a few of the lenders in jail along with home builders who screwed the bank.
Just remember head of FBI said Terrorist attack is when not if and God forbid it happens everyone that voted for Biden/Harris's open border polices will be guilty IMO .
That is NOT what the FBI said it's concerned about. It and other government agencies are concerned about DOMESTIC terrorism:

As for abortion: we are made with redundant reproductive capacities, like all animals. Women COULD have one or more children every nine months. Obviously, we don't do that. Only JD Vance would think it was a good idea. But we're built with extra eggs, in case some of our offspring die, or we're prevented from raising families by famine, war, or other disasters.
In the world we've created for ourselves, we needn't give birth constantly. Preventing endless pregnancy is best accomplished with the use of contraceptives, but many Republicans don't approve of that, either. However, contraception can fail. When that happens, women should have abortion as an alternative. From 1973 to 2022, women did have that alternative. Now they no longer do, and some have died, or nearly died, as a result of getting inadequate care for miscarriages or dangerous health problems that required treatment that necessitated the termination of a pregnancy.
Women and many man are outraged about this. You will, perhaps, understand that better in November.
you really don't understand economics without Tariffs XChina will undersell there products which in turn will cause americans to lose there Jobs. If tarriffs are wrong why did Biden/harris leave some of trumps in place??
Trump does not want to apply tariffs selectively; he wants to apply a 10% tariff to everything made outside the U.S. Though he won't admit it, or is too dumb to understand the issue, that's a giant sales tax. He thinks we should produce everything we use? Mussolini wanted to do that. It turned out very badly.
And as for the border bill, you're yet again wrong. It was a good enough bill; the toughest that's ever come up for a vote. Ask James Lankford, the extremely conservative senator from Oklahoma who was its sponsor, and who wrote most of it.

In NC we elect the governor and Lt governor separately.
Some news about that. CNN just reported that four of Robinson's top campaign staffers quit their jobs. Maybe the idea is to force him to drop out of the race. But he seems pretty stubborn, in addition to all the other things he is.
Robinson's made a statement, saying he wishes the now-former staffers well, and that he'll be making some new hires.
Oh, and it seems that CNN is saying that his WHOLE staff has resigned.
says alot about you lol you wrote the loans that the builders defaulted on wow quite the banker
so easy to get you into melt down mode, it musta really shook you when you did all your research
on a builder only to have them defualt on the loans you wrote lol sounds to me like you weren't to good at it.
Last post Per Bulls melt down
No one is forcing you to post here.
It's spelled liar. And in fact sole proprietors, another misspelling, do set themselves as LLCs to protect themselves. Trump could explain it to you.
And I dealt with enough sleazy home builders who took out construction loans that never built a damn thing while driving around in a Mercedes Benz. Of course that was in the banking crisis in the 1990s which led to the collapse of the S&Ls.
So you think without thinking what I don't know when in fact I do. And I'm not interested in your proposed bet so save your money. I'm not making up shit idiot.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savings_and_loan_crisis
Ya know Bull I told you once before I don't like doing this back and fourth crap and ask you delete my posts and I would leave, instead you deleted the post where I ask for that. (seems you and others here like to argue) But I'll ask again stop posting to me and you can delete my posts and I'll leave.
BTW if anyone here wants make alittle $$ tomorrow I'll be buying ticker GO if the market opens on an up note.
My experience after 25 years in banking is Home builders incorporated as LLCs tend to cost banks money. The fact that you needed other lines of work proves me right.
What that makes you is a lier, I used what were called construction loans Mr. banker. And I was never incorporated I was sole proptietor I became an real estate sales person to sell my own homes. The other jobs I was asks to do by the township I lived in.
So as usual your wrong. If you'd care to make a wager, what ever you could afford I'd be happy to take your money and prove you wrong. I never did this before but I'm sure I could have an Attorney draw up some type of paper work. That would be a good lesson and teach you not to make up stories .

This is not the bitch board about Trump.
yea I'm pretty sure it is, Why didn't Biden /Harris do something about the rising cost then rather than debt forgiveness?
Lic Home builder
So how many of that building was successful and did you default on any loans and why the change in careers?
I never defaulted on any loan (dumb question) there was no career changes I did them all at the same time throughout my career
You are rehashing crap that has been proven wrong.
That's yout way of saying I don't want to do a search to see if you are right or wrong, I'm right prove me wrong.
remember you said provide links I do you don't
Kamala Harris Has Biggest Favorability Jump Since George W. Bush After 9/11
‘A VERY DIFFERENT STORY’
The results come as a part of a very positive poll from NBC News on Sunday.

Vice President Kamala Harris got some very welcome news on Sunday in the form of a new NBC News poll that found her leading Donald Trump by five points nationally. But perhaps the most significant finding in the survey of 1,000 likely voters conducted from Sept. 13-17 is her massive increase in popularity since taking over for Joe Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee in July.
Compared to July, when Harris had a 32% approval and 50% disapproval rating (nearly identical to Biden), the new poll finds 48% of respondents view her positively and 45% negatively. The three point net positive approval stands in sharp contrast to Trump’s net negative 13 point result that has remained static over the same period.
As NBC News National Political Correspondent—and data geek—Steve Kornacki and Meet the Press host Kristen Welker explained on Sunday, that 16 point turnaround is the largest favorability increase for any politician NBC has measured since George W. Bush after the September 11, 2001 attacks.
“We were seeing numbers like this for years for Kamala Harris,” Kornacki said of her previous figures, “now you’re seeing a very different story.”
Also speaking on Meet the Press, political analyst Amy Walter, editor-in-chief of The Cook Political Report, pointed out that the new polling shows Harris “is seen as the more likely victor,” which she said means the narrative “has shifted appreciably to Harris' benefit.”
Meanwhile, The New York Times’ Chief Political Analyst Nate Cohn called the new NBC survey arguably Harris’ “best poll result since the debate,” and “not just because she’s up 5 points,” but “because it’s the kind of poll (the kind of poll once called the ‘gold standard’ a decade ago) that hadn’t produced a good national result for her in a while.”
When third-party candidates were added in, Harris advantage over Trump actually jumped to six points, 47% to 41%, with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at 2%, Jill Stein at 2% and Libertarian Chase Oliver at 1%.
And yet, the Harris team is not taking anything for granted. In response to the poll results, which still fall within the margin of error, top Harris campaign adviser Brian Fallon tweeted, “Still an underdog in this race.”

Try and post something intelligent. If you can't then it sucks to be you.
There are posters who still don't seem to understand the above. Posting nonsensical posts are simply thread disruptions when it comes to
the main topic of the board. However other topics of the day such as sports, weather and trivia are certainly allowed considering that we all need
a little break now and again.
At a formal cocktail party 2 things that should never be discussed are religion and politics. Consider the dress code here semi-formal. You can discuss religion (in context with the news of the day) but preaching to the choir/heathens will get you sent off. No one here is looking to be converted.
And by all means please read this post. No explanation is needed.

All people are welcome to post here and I'll put a moratorium on banning and the inmates have been set free. I don't think banning in hindsight was the right way to go.
