Like so many of the things the Left does, they are "mistakes".  :facepalm:

They're ramping up the Russian election interference talk again. Getting ready for Trump's second term.

@TheChiefNerd
NEW — Putin Says Russia Supports Kamala Harris For President

“If we can name a favorite candidate, it used to be Joe Biden but now he's not participating in the election campaign. And he recommended to all his allies to support Ms. Harris, so that is what we are going to do.”

So what do you guys think Kamala's game is with the upcoming debate and the mics? She has now accepted the "mics off" thing, but apparently with the caveats that ABC can turn the mics on to capture what the "mic off" candidate is saying. She's claiming it's so people can hear when Trump is lying, or saying something inappropriate, but I think she's still trying to get some kind of "I'm speaking" jab in.

I ended up liking "mics off" during the Trump/Biden debate, and actually because in 2016 and 2020, I got pretty tired of Trump always talking over people.

And right on the heels of that

Quote
A member of Vice President Kamala Harris’ national finance committee says that her social media posts questioning if former President Donald Trump is colluding with Israel, Russia and Saudi Arabia to boost his election hopes are "absolutely valid," and she denies being a "conspiracy theorist."

DNC National Finance Committee member Lindy Li has posted to X several times in recent days, speculating about potential coordination between the GOP presidential nominee and numerous foreign governments.

I think if they went with the open mics Trump should eat a huge plate of beans before the debate and let one rip every time Kamala opened her mouth.

Okay  I'll stop being a 5 year old  :rofl:

For now  :P

Separate laws for black people
She's not saying it but she is nodding her head in agreement and says "that's right"

@kylenabecker
"You should write laws for black people. Don't group us in with everybody else."

"That's right."

Kamala Harris wants to legally segregate white and black Americans. She is staking a position against equal protection. This is all kinds of wrong.

According to Mike Baker's info today, Russia is pushing propaganda helpful to Trump, Iran is pushing propaganda helpful to Harris, and China is pushing propaganda both helpful and harmful to both Trump and Harris, just to be a chaos agent.

It should be pretty easy. Just have a two week government shutdown and eliminate everything that nobody notices is gone.

As well as the Harris campaign.

I see that the deleted false quote got 2.2 million impressions and the (semi) corrected quote got ~100K. The disinformation/misinformation army won that battle.
