US Erection 12 *AND* 16 *AND* 20 *AND* 22 *AND* 24 *AND* Beyond

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Topper wrote: Thu Aug 08, 2024 3:55 pm Harris campaign has released a selectively edited version of a recorded phone call between then President Trump and Minnesota governor Tim Walz five several days after the George Floyd riots. The riots where Tim's wife slept with the windows down so she could smell the burning tires.

In the edited Harris version, Trump congratulates Tim for his handling of the riots.

The the unedited version Trump limits his praise to the last two days after Walz finally called in the National Guard. The National Guard the Mayor of Minneapolis had been asking for since the start of the second night of rioting, but Walz denied them. Walz only sent in 90 National Guardsmen on the third night. The night the Minneapolis Police 3rd Precinct was invaded by rioters and the Police had to make a daring escape of the insurrection (Jan 6th anyone). The fourth night of rioting was met with the full force of the Minnesota National Guard.

The selectively edited version is a lie. Megyn Kelly plays both versions.

This is the same National Guard that Walz had earlier served in before he retired/deserted from when deployment to Iraq entered the conversation.

Compare the contestants websites. Find the policy statements on Kamala's site. What do her and Tim stand for?

Yes, similar. Though not as strong a word as "unhuman".

Kamala faced a few softballs from the press leading her with questions criticizing her opponent while at the steps of her plane. One reporter has the audacity to ask when she would do a sit down interview, " maybe at the end of the month".

She's Biden in the basement

Reports emerging that Tim's daughter was typing of the routers that the National Guard wasn't coming during the George Floyd riots.

Treason runs in the family.

For similar reasons.

Won't work this time though.

One could argue that anyone involved with Project 2025 is unhuman as they are "undoing civilization" by way of dismantling democratic institutions.

Once they're not considered human, then what? It's a slippery slope and the VP candidate should not be lending his name to this crap.
That's not what that statement is saying. You need to read it and not infer your own view just to be argumentative here.

I watched the complete Trump press conference and I watched the complete Harris press conference (or whatever that was at the base of the aircraft steps). I prefer to get my news from the source and make my own decisions instead of listening to a biased summary.

Trump - just over 1 hr
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McXjpQFFN90

Harris - less than 2 minutes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa6V3itZfQ0

Trump gave a 10 minute statement followed by 40+ questions over nearly 50 minutes. He was asked questions and provided answers ranging from the Middle East, Ukraine, abortion, Willie Brown, Elon Musk, prosecuting Hillary, tax policy, immigration, the economic outlook, Federal oil reserve, gun control, the Biden to Harris transition, Harris' race and gender, the assassination attempt, Jan 6th, debates, his process for Presidential pardons and press access. His narcissism is difficult to wade through but there was plenty of meat to go with the potatoes in what he said. He clearly understood his topics and didn't take the bait on several loaded questions.

Trump has agreed to three debates, first on Fox Sept 4th then ABC on the 10th and NBC 0n the 25th. Harris has only agreed to debate on the 10th. Voting begins on Sept 7th, three days after voting has begun. CBS will carry a VP candidate debate.

Harris spoke with the press for just over 1 minute. Three debate questions, an interview schedule question and a VP pick question. Soft questions and evasive answers.

Harris will only have additional debates after the one scheduled for the 10th, may have an interview sometime around months end.

Clearly the Democrats are wanting three days of mail in ballots prior to any debate. Since Trump initially backed out of the ABC on the 10th (he was to be debating Joe not Kamala), the Dems and the media have been playing a "Trump won't debate Kamala" narrative, now with Trump proposing three debates the ball in in Kamala's mouth.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

Dems are branding Trump as low-energy, saying he has only done 1.5 events per week for the last 6 weeks. That he's hardly even running a campaign.

Meanwhile this week Kamala has scheduled 6 events in 6 states.

Hence Trump's press conference to get back in the spotlight.

Yes, in my feeds from Dem supporters it's the same thing.
Respect to Topper for going to the source.

Topper, during that preference conference did he really say that 2021 was a peaceful transfer of power and that nobody was killed on January 6th?
