2024 U.S. Presidential election

Any of you ever heard of a "phone app"? I don't keep up with the tech stuff.

I’ve said before his talk is going to get crazier and crazier with every passing day and he has not disappointed. Most of his people aren’t going to care but he runs the risk of a “We’re more popular than Jesus!” moments.

This is presumably a reference, filtered through Trump's unique and powerful brain, to CBP One, a cellphone app introduced under the Biden administration which asylum seekers are required to use to make their asylum applications.

CBP One is, unsurprisingly and likely by design, a boondoggle that creates barriers to asylum seekers which violate of US and international law, the kind of policy "solution" you would expect under Trump. The Democrats get all the cruelty and illegality with no discernable political benefit. Great stuff.
 
Trump says no one expected a hurricane this late in the season. He really just says whatever comes into his little mind, without regard for facts.

During a press conference in front of a building that had been reduced to rubble, Trump claimed that “nobody thought” a hurricane of this magnitude could strike the United States “so late in the [hurricane] season.”​

As viewers were quick to point out, hurricane season in the United States is considered to last from early June through late November — and we are currently in the peak of it. Even as states around the gulf reel from the impact of Helene, the National Hurricane Center continues to track five additional storm systems near the East Coast.​

He keeps saying "nobody" and "everybody" and things like that. Yet I am never included in this group. I think that 99% of the time I am the opposite. I wish he would stop. I wish the rest of the country was smart enough to realize what a buffoon he is.

I'm sure you know this CNC, but along with "sir," the words "nobody" and "everybody" are tells that he's making it up.

He really is the stupidest, most ignorant person I have ever seen. Nobody knew health care could be so difficult. Can we inject bleach or beam ultraviolet light inside you. Let's rake the 1.2 million square miles of forest floor to prevent wildfires. Let's drop a nuclear bomb on a hurricane. Let's turn the big faucet around, it will only take a day, and direct all that water from the Canadian Rockies to California. Need I go on?

He's not joking. He's just stupid.

...it's saying something when nuking a hurricane might be the least worst idea.
 
Trump at a rally yesterday: "I hated to give overtime. I hated it. I shouldn't say this, but I'd get other people in. I wouldn't pay."

This is after congratulating Musk on walking into a roomful of employees and threatening to fire them all.

Meanwhile, Project2025 outlines a plan for giving employers more flexibility on defining work periods to avoid paying employees overtime. No mention of raising that pesky minimum wage...

Meanwhile, Biden/Harris step in to literally save the Teamsters pensions yet 65% of Teamsters supposedly support Trump over her.

Meanwhile, Biden and Harris have brought factories and manufacturing jobs back all across the country.

All these union guys are the most obvious and extreme example of Americans voting against their economic interests for the orange cult of lies. It's maddening. I wish there was some way to give them what they are voting for without punishing the entire country. They all deserve to be slaves to Trump and Elon.

I think that a lot of Latinos reflect on the experiences of their own countries where a lot of the left side governments are considered corrupt and borderline communist. They then equate that experience to the Democrats which jives with the Trump narrative. FWIW. I play soccer with a lot of Latinos. I discussed the election with two the other week. One Colombian and a Venezuelan. Both of them said they support Trump because we need to close the border….
Could it be that your soccer playing friends / teammates are U.S. Citizens (born here or entered legally to become citizens) and view Hispanic men who have not "followed the rules" as hurting the system and casting a wide (and, unfortunately, negative) net over those that have?
 
I think of his proposal(s) as more accurately defined as a Pogrom:

pogrom, (Russian: “devastation,” or “riot”), a mob attack, either approved or condoned by authorities, against the persons and property of a religious, racial, or national minority.

Only because "kristallnacht" was a very specific actual event pogrom aimed at Jews.
Another example of why DBR, with all its faults (cough, cough), is the best board on the interwebs. 😆
