September 10, 2024 Presidential Debate Thread. (Insert snarky subtitles here.)

[Delmar]

Did Trump even prepare for this debate?

They said Tulsi Gabbard and Matt Gaetz () helped him prep. Not sure what Tulsi did but I’m pretty sure Gaetz’s job was to bring the teenage girls.

There’s a commercial break in the debate…

The real ruler of this nation is $$$$

 

[distrovol]

Damn this system that yields these two horrible choices.

 

[Carl Pickens]

But keeps bringing up “the women and the children” and talking like she’s about to cry.
Our country has gone to over the last 4 years, but giver Kamala and her team credit for this debate.
Trump just can’t not take the bait.
Well played Kamala, well played.

She’s left the door open several times for him to pounce and drive her into the ground and he failed to capitalize

My big issue with the Democrats is using public funding to pay for services for illegal immigrants. That is the REAL ISSUE that isn't brought up. A lot of them don't just cross and have houses, Medicare, jobs, etc. They get on our welfare/Medicare systems and the government obliges.

If you cut that, they would go home for the most part.

Exactly, I’ve always said that the way to attack illegal immigration has been to go after those who employ them and provide housing. Without work or homes here they would return back to where they came from.

Absolutely, they should get no benefits. To paraphrase James Earl Jones, if you get rid of the incentives, they wont come. That means enforcing existing rules to keep them from getting hired and not providing benefits...

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Kamala "you're not running against Obiden, you're running against me"

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Damn this system that yields these two horrible choices.

I’m not a fan of either but if we’re being honest, the country was better off under the Trump administration.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

What is the definition of Ukraine winning the war?

 

[Carl Pickens]

“We have a president that doesn’t even know he’s alive.”

 

[Vol8188]

He's not. That's your red tinted glasses.

He's not losing but he needed a blowout here. That's not happening...

Why did he need a blow out?

 

[Delmar]

She hasn’t done anything

She doesn’t need to do anything. Just wind him up and let him roll. He’ll kill himself.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Yeah…. At least Trump received votes

 

[bamawriter]

Trump doesn’t seem like a rino Republican or a rino democrat…the sooner you realize the better off you will be. The simple understanding that democrats are now the party of wars to try feed money into the military industrial complex year after year needs to stop. Tired of wasting tax payer money on wars that matter none to us from dumb countries we should not care about. For gods sake Dick Cheney endorsed your party…stop listening to mainstream media open a book and learn on your own

I'm not a Democrat. I cannot stand Harris and will not vote for her.

If Trump is the best representative you can drum up for the isolationist cause, then that's really too bad.

 

[vol4eva]

Yep

 

[Delmar]

My favorite quote of the night

Me too. That was classic.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

What is the definition of Ukraine winning the war?

Becoming the new Israel.

Lmao. “People with rental properties and businesses! Those are the bad guys”

Stfu

And it would be great if border states didn't make it easier for them to get jobs than any of the other states in the country

 

[GoodTimeVol]

There's two aspects of illegal immigration. Protecting the physical border (which Trump did well) and enforcing the rules to find and kick those out that sneak or have previously snuck through (which Obama did better).

Watch the border, enforce the existing rules, kick them out if found, and dont give them benefits. Unless 4/4 is checked, immigration will just be a political talking point and not something that will be fixed.

All the walls dont matter when they can easily cross at any of the legal checkpoints if there is a blind eye being turned to help out construction and ag base....

Dude they allowed over 10 million which is a record number, there is no amount of gaslighting that failure

 

[lawgator1]

Now that's a post I can endorse.

This is a very fair assessment
