Because inflation is already down to optimal levels...
So Kamala wisely didn't take a "victory lap" on defeating inflation. Makes sense considering it's in the top 3 for swing state voter concerns.

But of we want to talk about the tweets themselves, I'll turn it over to factcheck.org:
Literally wtf....if you need a 3rd media party to read a tweet for you, you have no business voting.

Cool, now show swingstate polls.

The word “Trump” was mentioned 147 times at the DNC meanwhile “inflation” three times, “crime” six times, and “border” only eight times.

What has Trump done in the last 4 years?
Besides surviving assassination attempts? Probably taking notes on what Kamala has and has not done in the past 4 years so you don't have to.

@Dr.Franklin
Did you listen to Michelle Obama's speech?
It’s up to us to remember what Kamala’s mother told her: “Don’t just sit around and complain. Do something.” So if they lie about her—and they will—we’ve got to do something. If we see a bad poll—and we will—we’ve got to put down that phone and do something. If we start feeling tired, if we start feeling that dread creeping back in, we gotta pick ourselves up, throw water on our face, and what? 
(Crowd chants: “Do something!”)

So, consider this to be your official ask: Michelle Obama is asking you—no, I’m telling y’all—to do something. 
(Crowd chants: “Do something!”)

What has Kamala done the last 4 years?

They certainly didn't seem to have a problem with Trump (supposedly) being a psycho racists misogynist rapist idiot back then did they?
Of course not, that's why it was so ironic that he literally fed the beast that ate him.

Perhaps Trump was just paying the bribes that all powerful people do to the system which attacks people who don't play ball.
He openly admitted that many times in 2016: that you had to do that to survive in the crony business world.

  • Early Afternoon (Around 2:00 PM - 2:30 PM):
    • The Capitol building is breached by rioters. At this time, Trump was reportedly watching the events unfold on television.
  • 2:38 PM:
    • Trump tweets: "Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!"
  • 3:13 PM:
    • Trump tweets: "I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!"
    Okay. Then explain the three hours it took for Trump to call for peace on January 6th.
    That's easy. The media never reported these tweets calling for peace and discouraging violence.

    Go google these tweets and see for yourself. It's not the first or the last time media has lied to you for their own profit.

    That Trump cannot accept he got tricked says many negative things about his poor mental functioning now, but when he ran the ad he was just of mediocre mental ability.
    he most definitely was not the sharpest political animal in the 80's

    Trump donated a good bit of money to Jesse Jackson’s presidential campaigns in 1984 and 1988. Jackson surely benefitted greatly as the donations came from a high-profile and well known businessman who was not traditionally aligned with Jackson’s political base, helping him to win support with whites and moderates. (Although Trump was pretty left with his beliefs back then)

    It's amazingly ironic then, that Trump supported a guy who went on in the 90's to be one of the most prominent race grifters in American politics second only to Rev Al Sharpton, and then decades later get catcalled incessantly for dogwhistling about race. Assuredly, this is definitely on the low end of mental ability.

    When it comes to objectively figuring out if someone is a racist, you have to physically count the instances where the person attributes skin color to character. If Trump at any time used the word "Black" or "White" (referencing skin) in his ads, that would be solid proof. For example, Joy Reid has more than a dozen instances of publicly attributing character to skin color, so it's not hard to figure out if she is objectively a racist or not. Joe Biden has attributed many times a person's skin color to be a positive attribute of their character. While it's easy to claim Trump is "dogwhistling," that really just shows confirmation bias in the absence of this objective proof of racism where a person's character is dependent on skin tone.

    Pretty much agree with all this. It does seem when it comes to crime that there are very fine racists on both sides, one side that will bend over backwards to oppress and demonize while the other side bends over backwards to accommodate and idolize based solely on skin color. As long as it remains politically profitable and consumers demand this magical science of skin color, the status will quo.

    Biden was asked how he felt about seeing Trump signs outside his event in Howell by reporters in the White House Press Pool.

    “Makes me smile,” Biden responded. “I get more pumped up.”

     ....memories of Howell’s racist history of public bigotry and the Ku Klux Klan....
    As Trump ended the event and began to shake the hands of Michigan law enforcement he was asked a question from a reporter within the audience: “Mr. President, can you respond to Kamala Harris’ campaign attacking you for being in this town because they say there were white supremacists here a month ago?” the reporter asked.

    The question was followed by some boos.

    Trump then took to the podium and asked, “Who was here in 2021?”

    As someone in the audience responded, “Joe Biden,” a smile filled Trump’s face, and he let out a laugh.

    “Thank you,” he said, as crowd members began to clap. “Thank you everybody.”

    AI community notes:

    The full-page ad read:
    "BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY. BRING BACK OUR POLICE!"
    "You have people on the street that are not afraid of the police. They’re not afraid of getting arrested. And that is a terrible thing that’s happened to our country. The people of our city have been horribly let down. The last thing we need is to let criminals feel that they have even the slightest chance of getting away with it. It’s time to bring back the death penalty. It’s time to bring back our police."
    In summary, Trump’s ad was a broad call for stricter criminal justice measures in response to a violent crime wave in New York City. It was not a direct accusation against the Central Park Five but part of a wider public discourse on crime and punishment.

    Many degrees from any university are worthless.

    There are several studies and reports that cite high percentages of college graduates working in jobs that do not necessarily require a degree. Here are a few notable examples:

    1. **Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce (2019)
      • Statistic: According to a report by Georgetown University, approximately 47% of college graduates are employed in jobs that do not require a degree.
      • Source: Georgetown CEW Report
    2. **Economic Policy Institute (2020)
      • Statistic: The Economic Policy Institute reports that around 43% of recent college graduates are working in jobs that do not typically require a degree.
      • Source: Economic Policy Institute Report
    3. **Pew Research Center (2014)
      • Statistic: Pew Research Center found that about 46% of college graduates were employed in jobs that did not require a college degree.
      • Source: Pew Research Report
    4. **The Hamilton Project (2016)
      • Statistic: A study by The Hamilton Project reported that approximately 40% of college graduates work in jobs that do not require a degree.
      • Source: The Hamilton Project Report
    5. **U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (2020)
      • Statistic: The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data has indicated that around 41% of college graduates were in jobs that did not require a degree.
      • Source: BLS Data
    These studies highlight the broader issue of the alignment between higher education and job market requirements, indicating that a significant proportion of college graduates will find themselves in positions where a degree was not a necessity and that they wasted their time and money on a scam.

    @FLRW
    here are ten reasons why Trump opposed the legislation:

    1. Insufficient Border Security Measures
    • Reason: Trump believed that the bill did not provide adequate funding or provisions for enhancing border security. He has often advocated for robust measures, such as additional border wall construction and increased border patrol resources.
    2. Policy Compromises
    • Reason: The bipartisan nature of the bill  involved compromises that Trump views as too lenient or insufficiently stringent on immigration enforcement. He opposes aspects of the bill that he believes weaken overall border security.
    3. Political Strategy
    • Reason: By opposing the bill, Trump aims to position himself as a strong advocate for stricter immigration policies, distinguishing himself from Kamala and appealing to his base while also preventing his opposition from taking a victory lap.
    4. Concerns About Amnesty
    • Reason: Trump was concerned that the bill included provisions that could be perceived as granting amnesty to undocumented immigrants, which he had consistently opposed.
    5. Previous Commitments
    • Reason: He was adhering to previous commitments made during his presidency, which focused on a specific approach to border security, such as the construction of a border wall, and views the bill as diverging from these commitments.
    6. Displeasure with Bipartisan Negotiations
    • Reason: Trump had issues with the way bipartisan negotiations were conducted, feeling that compromises made with Democrats did not adequately represent Republican interests or priorities.
    7. Distrust of Government Agencies
    • Reason: Trump distrusted the effectiveness of federal agencies involved in implementing the bill, believing that they might not use the resources efficiently or as intended.
    8. Influence of Hardline Advisers
    • Reason: Trump’s opposition was influenced by advisers or allies who advocate for more extreme immigration policies and who view the bill as insufficiently stringent.
    9. Impact on 2024 Election
    • Reason: Trump saw opposing the bill as a way to energize his political base in the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election, using immigration as a key campaign issue.
    10. Previous Failures or Experiences
    • Reason: Trump had negative experiences with similar bipartisan legislation in the past, leading him to believe that such bills fail to deliver meaningful change or improvements in border security. More of the same bait and switch so common in modern legislation.

    @ADreamOfLiberty
    So after the government screwed us royally what's the problem with capping the prices of their subverted industry? Well duh it's still impossible to start an insulin production facility which means the price will forever be a negotiation between the federal government and imbeciles in charge of the pharmaceutical oligopoly. I wonder how that will work out, I don't expect there would be any corruption or money laundering there.
    This is why we do NOT negotiate with terrorists.

    Capping insulin prices didn't significantly hurt pharmaceutical companies because the government and insurance companies absorbed the cost difference and passed it onto others without competition. In many cases, the large pharmaceutical companies still receive their full payment through government subsidies (tax revenues) or insurance reimbursements (costs passed down to consumer anyway), while patients benefit from the capped out-of-pocket expenses. Additionally, the caps may apply only to certain segments of the market, such as Medicare patients, leaving other pricing structures intact or free for price increases. This collusion with the government and the pharma lobby helps keep company revenues stable while providing minimal relief to consumers.
    I remember Joe Biden went out on a stump and screamed with his fist in the air "WE BEAT PHARMA THIS YEAR"
    Many Medicare drugs actually went up in prices as insulin went down.
    Big Pharma still has all the patent regulations intact and can freely jack up the prices and pass on the costs thanks to all talk and no action.

    What a clown show.

     so instead you can only explain it to yourself as cultish blindness.
    Stop putting words in my mouth. You already said many times you hate Biden and your loyalty to your party isn't absolute.

     he is however the only president who has had the majority of his own employees tell us he is unfit to serve.
    That typically happens when the opposition party invests millions paying them off with book deals and MSM shows.

    Cassidy Hutchinson has received compensation through a book deal for her memoir "Enough", published in September 2023, as well as from media appearances. While the exact figures are not publicly disclosed, such deals can be lucrative, sometimes in the millions, especially given her high-profile status following her testimony during the January 6th hearings.
