AOC stating that " we need to reign in the media (censorship) to counter misinformation"

When her party and the left-wing MSM spent a year bare face gaslighting and lying about Biden's mental health

She is a dangerous far-left woman

i actually quite like AOC now, but everyone uses the media for their own gain, even what used to be trusted sources aren't reliable anymore, they all have an agenda

Hence why platforms like X are so valuable and why the far left want to shut them down

i think vance is the better orator, but that doesn't mean he won in terms of the minds of the american people. It's difficult to see how this would move the needle really, that's why i didn't stay up to watch it

Vance is the most disliked VP candidate of all time, given that, does anyone listen to a word he says? I honestly don't know

Glad Vance showed that he can be very human and reasonable after being demonised for the last few months

He could well be a future President

Don't you think Vance would bump off Trump if Trump won the election? I can see that happening

Nah I don't think he'd need to and would also lose him a lot of the base in future votes. Trump can only do one term anyway so I think Vance would ride that out then be the candidate for 2028

Yeah, being realistic, Trump just wants to win the election so that he can avoid jail and spend his time on the golf course. He will leave it up to his inner circle to cause havoc around the country and that could include Vance

Vance was the biggest loser of the night. His poll numbers are in the negatives.





Vance admitted to making up the story about Haitians eating pets, he wouldn’t admit that Trump lost the 2020 election, and he freaked out that he was being fact checked. The guy is a weirdo and a loser. Americans can’t stand his phony ass or his ridiculous eyeliner. Vance called Trump “America’s Hitler”. He thinks people forgot.

People are trying to attach traditional political thinking to today's environment and it just doesn't work. They try to normalise Trump and maga into a traditional political movement and it just doesn't work. The sound bite of they are eating our pets or Vance does naughty stuff to his couch, both carry more weight than anyones opinion on the economy, and they are both false

Polls certainly cant be trusted, but obviously the political machine likes them because thats where they make their money

Nobody realistically knows who will win this election

Yes, after intense training he was able to hide his clearly sociopathic tendencies for 90 minutes

The dishonest press are in the pay of the UNDemocratic Party - That same party that stole the election in 2020 when Trump actually won, and they are going to steal it this time as well, because every atom of them is corrupt

Remember the first three letters in Truth, Trustworthy and Trusted are also in Trump.

FEMA is a racket. Vast majority of people will qualify for SBA loans and not grants, which they pay a tiny payment but interest gets added. With flooding, if they are insured at all with homeowners, they will have to get a denial letter and will cause a $0 claim just to find that out. That will lead to rate hike. "It shouldn't", but it often does. It will also make it much harder for them to shop around, especially if they had any other claims. Many insurances won't take anyone with 2 or more claims within 5 years. Some companies will drop.

Local govt loves it because it is a flood of money that comes in that they get to allocate or misallocate as they please. There is no oversight. Houston begged during Harvey for munz to start a fund to help people rebuild. They got the money, took tons of applications, maybe a few homes fixed for posterity and no one knows where the millions went after.

Imo, it needs scrapping and States need to take up their own costs (that includes Texas), that way it can be adequately regulated by local parties and there is more incentive to keep costs low. And also that it is not spent to pander.

They are talking about doing away with property taxes here, which would be insane. We don't take income tax. Part of that property tax goes to Flood Control and we use that for mitigation efforts. It works really well.

Imo, federal disaster funding should only go to places that see events that are truly unpredictable. Such as what happened in TN/NC. These areas are subject to very high elevations. I have been through and not one person would think that it floods there. Flood requires a separate insurance policy and the program is largely through FEMA because the premiums would be high without subsidies... a whole other can of worms. It needs to be required for high population coastal areas to drive costs down and to lessen the need for "funding". We keep a policy and it is about $800/yr and we live in 500 yr zone. Where people sit on the FEMA map is virtually meaningless for high hourly rates of rain, blocked drainage, etc, but looks good for those officials seeking funding to say "Well, we received 4 100+ yr storms in the past 10-15 years so... *gimme gimme*". We almost flooded during Taxday flood, which was an unofficial ie unnamed storm. It was about an inch away from coming into our doorway.

Edit: FEMA offered the same $750 for food replacement and other costs here due to the extensive power loss after a Cat 1 earlier this year. Imo, the power company should pay back that for lack of maintenance and mismanaging their priorities. They are not hurting for money.

I am curious if the requirements were the same. Many people got denied. Many were told to file a claim with insurance instead to pay, which makes no sense after a deductable. Anyway.

The TV won't show you this, so I will.

This is who you're supporting against the people's President.
