  • Mostly the economy (specifically tax cuts and support for domestic oil and gas production), border security, national security and foreign affairs.

  • I'd just assumed downvoting everything that's not a progressive op ed or a meme was part of Lemmy culture. All my LSF posts get downvoted too.

  • Eh. I'm voting for Trump but certain people around him (like Laura Loomer) might literally have me voting for Kamala if they were to replace him.

  • It's not that anything happened, he was always cringe and they are just roasting him for his cringyness.

  • The guy was always something as a meme, people didn't take him seriously and after awhile he stopped taking himself seriously too (thankfully).

  • LOL

    Yeah the professor of Pump University isn't exactly Trump's strongest soldier

  • Jill Stein on the Breakfast Club? Sounds like a must watch. I'm surprised she hasn't made more appearances like this.

  • A couple of them I didn't like, the big one being where David Muir debated Trump about the 2020 election cases and Trump actually ended up fact checking David on that, he had no rebuttal (although Trump doesn't seem to understand exactly what it means to "have standing").

    But it's less about the fact checks and more about the fact that they chose to only fact check one person's lies. Kamala Harris lied through her teeth during the debate and nobody fact checked her. I personally would prefer to not have fact checks in these debates at all, as the debates are only supposed to be between two people. But if there are going to be fact checks, those should be applied to both candidates.

    Nah but seriously though I was just plain wrong, Kamala had agreed to the ABC News debate at the same time that she decline the other two invitations. I edited my comment to reflect that

  • Yeah that's fair, and I do think the bill would have been a step in the right direction. I don't like absolutist advocacy, I see this in the pro life movement also. If I was in Congress I would have voted for this bill even though I'm a Republican.

  • Obviously Kamala would not want to have the debate run by a company heavily biased towards her opponent.

    So now you see why Trump didn't want to do the ABC debate

  • If you meant border security, then why did he help kill a bill that would have fixed many of the things he’s complaining about?

    What most Republicans took issue with the bill was that it actually somewhat ties the president's hands and limits how long the border can be shut down:

    The bill includes a new emergency authority that would allow the Department of Homeland Security to, as Biden has put it, “shut down” the border if there are too many migrants trying to cross.

    DHS could close the border if Border Patrol encountered 4,000 or more migrants on average over seven days. The border would have to be shut down if those encounters reached a seven-day average of 5,000 or if they exceeded 8,500 in a single day.

    The border couldn’t be shut down under this authority for more than 270 days in the first year. And the bill would give the president the power to suspend a border closure “on an emergency basis for up to 45 days if it is in the national interest.”

    During an emergency closure, Border Patrol would still need to process a minimum of 1,400 migrants who try to enter the U.S. legally through ports of entry. Only unaccompanied minors would be able to cross between ports of entry. And any migrant who tried to cross illegally two or more times during a border emergency would be barred from the U.S. for a year.
