If she didn't needle hard enough or branch out into more interesting questions that's on Bash. The big critique would be why was Walz there, but he barely talked and when she does one solo a week from now they'll have to find something else to bish about. Tell me you haven't watched it without telling me you haven't watched it. That's what posting that sound bite tells me. Harris delivered, as she has since her first day in the race, another super clean performance and committed very few slips (I didn't even notice this line being said like that). She actually answered the questions asked, stayed on topic throughout on each and ran the playbook as her campaign would have wanted her to. Lombard Ave
August 30, 20241 yr Trump had Dr. Phil throw him softballs and still failed to hit the ball out the park. Yet they are critical of Harris. Give me a break.

I personally much prefer my 8" SBR 300 Blackout suppressed with subsonic ammo. I don't think you can do much better than that for home defense. The only downside is shooting people with a class III rife and can. If it saves lives it's absolutely worth the added legal scrutiny and possibility not getting them back. This makes me like you even more. Great setup.

I haven't seen a single one of you singing praises over it. Was it that bad? It was awesome. I loved it! I'm going to vote for her at least a dozen extra times. Two dozen extra times in Arizona and Georgia!

August 30, 20241 yr Oh Joy. Opinion - If Trump loses, expect a Republican civil war https://www.yahoo.com/news/opinion-trump-loses-expect-republican-110000954.html But Trump can never lose! So, if he does, expect a 2020 post-election replay with much ranting, raving and contrived evidence. Team Trump will launch accusations of a corrupt, stolen election, cheating, judicial weaponization, illegal voters, foreign interference and rigged voting machines, resulting in legal challenges perhaps all the way to the Supreme Court. Our enemies will be watching for signs of electoral instability, democratic unrest and perhaps even a national security crisis. That aside, a Trump loss inevitably means an internal civil war within the Republican Party. I believe a "war” is inevitable between the all-powerful Trump forces and those who want to move on from the Trump era and win the White House in 2028 without any Trump family members on the ticket. Like all civil wars, this one could be brutal, because the GOP opposition forces see in Trumpism a political dead-end with a shrinking voter base. I publicly left the Republican Party Jan. 2021 thanks to Trump’s toxic brand. Today, identifying as a Republican is not about conservative governing principles but automatic loyalty to Trump, with his MAGA troops in control of the party machinery from top to bottom. In 2016, the "Trumplican Party” was born (some would say "hijacked.”) After Trump’s unexpected victory, Republican Party leaders and activists who initially supported someone other than Trump were purged, resigned in disgust or else acquiesced to him. After Trump’s loss in 2020, it became an act of disloyalty for Republicans to deny that Trump actually won reelection. So did the failure to defend or excuse his actions on Jan. 6 or his legal problems. So did the act of backing an alternative 2024 candidate. To have one family in complete control of a major national political party is an aberration in our country. Daughter-in-law Lara Trump, installed as co-chair of the Republican National Committee in March, naively spoke the truth in February when she said of its fundraising, "Every single penny will go to the number one and the only job of the RNC — that is electing Donald J. Trump as president of the United States…” Naturally, down-ballot candidates, officeholders and lowly party officials did not appreciate her honesty about the family mission. If Harris defeats Trump, will he step down as party leader? Probably not. Unlike Biden, Trump will not be pushed aside. Biden never was and did not represent himself as the Democratic Party. Trump and family, in contrast, are the Republican Party. Hence, moving beyond the Trump era without someone named Trump would take a tectonic shift. Who would lead the GOP through the hazardous terrain of a non-MAGA future? It probably wouldn’t be Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), who in this scenario would just be a losing also-ran. So who would it be? Some names are familiar and obvious: Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who each look in the mirror and see a future president. Add a new name with popular Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R), who has had a contentious history with Trump — haven’t they all, though? That experience will embolden these leaders to forge a new path for the party, maybe led by one of them, or else a new leader will emerge. Speaking of new leaders, a post-Trump era will need rising stars to combat entrenched MAGA warriors such as Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.). How about a real warrior? A Lt. colonel in the Air National Guard who piloted missions in Afghanistan and Iraq. His name is Adam Kinzinger — once widely considered a GOP rising star — the former Illinois congressman who served from 2011 to 2023. After the 2020 election, then-Rep. Kinzinger rejected Trump’s claims of a stolen election. He was appalled by the events of Jan. 6, 2021, and subsequently voted to impeach. Kinzinger then served on the House Select Committee to investigate the Capitol attack. Trump placed a target on his back, and Kinzinger did not run for reelection in 2022. Then, on August 15, Kinzinger fearlessly spoke the truth about Trump to more than 20 million primetime viewers who watched the Democratic National Convention. His message delighted former Republicans like me who want a party to come home to. Kinzinger said, "Donald Trump is a weak man pretending to be strong; he is a small man pretending to be big. He’s a faithless man pretending to be righteous. He’s a perpetrator who can’t stop playing the victim.” Kinzinger dared to say what many in the Republican Party (including elected officials) only think: "The Republican Party is no longer conservative. It has switched its allegiance from the principles that gave it purpose to a man whose only purpose is himself.” Shockingly, Fox News cut away from Kinzinger’s speech. Were they shielding their viewers from the truth? If Trump loses, those viewers and voters must hear the truth to set the Republican Party free from Trump’s control. But first, the party is destined to wage a war for the future.

GTFO, nobody cares what you sad, broken people have to say anymore. Trump's hard hitting interviews have been with Elon Musk and Fox and Friends where the only questions are "Why are you so awesome?" and they act like "hard hitting" interviews are the measuring stick of a campaign. Trumpbots are truly the biggest morons to ever walk the planet. Harris answered more serious questions in 30 minutes than Trump has in 9 years.

August 30, 20241 yr But we need fracking!!! Sure, people get poisoned from the crap they inject into ground, but no doubt, Trump signed a law saying they can inspect that themselves, and declare the water forever clean.

August 30, 20241 yr 34 minutes ago, jsdarkstar said: Exactly, what the pro 2nd Amendment Gun guy said in the video. He called it the best weapon for home defense. I wonder why he said that. Plus that shotgun can be loaded with birdshot, buckshot and/or slugs. 10 feet away, I'll take the shotgun and my chances. If someone isn't familiar with rifles and pistols and wants something easier to use without practicing then it might be a fine choice. The slugs you mentioned will go through walls and probably leave your home. You mentioned that as a concern. The racking sound will scare a common thief, but also give away your location if they are armed. Also not ideal if there are multiple intruders and you don't know of their or location. If you are like me you are calling for help vs trying to clear the home like Jack Bauer. If you do decide to go room to room it's length could be a disadvantage depending on the model. Just a few things to consider.
August 30, 20241 yr Under the Inflation Reduction Act, a sweeping $750 billion health care, tax and climate bill that Harris cast the tie-breaking vote to pass in the Senate and President Joe Biden signed into law in 2022, fracking has expanded in the United States, while also advancing clean energy efforts. _____ Wait what? Biden expanded fracking, and Harris cast the tie breaking vote?

I don't think you can do much better than that for home defense. As has been pointed out, the sound of a shotgun racking is a better deterrent than you having a pistol. Making a noise and having an intruder wet themselves is an easier cleanup than the gunfight you prefer.
