Since dropping out of the 2024 race, President Biden has sought to adapt to a new role of finishing out his term while trying to avoid hurting Vice President Kamala Harris’s chances of defeating Donald Trump in November.
Over the past week, however, Biden has had trouble living up to that assignment to “Do no harm.”
On Tuesday, Harris delivered her closing argument speech before 75,000 people gathered at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., reaching out to undecided voters and vowing “to be a president for all Americans,” while also warning that Trump is “unstable, obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance.”
But as the speech concluded, video clips were being circulated on social media of what appeared to be Biden calling Trump’s supporters “garbage” in a video call with a Latino voter registration group. That negative interpretation, however, rests on the view that Biden said “supporters” rather than “supporter's” when he said, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his [supporters/supporter's].”
First, I was "Deplorable", now I'm "Garbage". These low IQ name calling descriptions are simply a reflection of how Democratic Leadership view those who don't agree with them. In that I voted early, this doesn't change who I voted for but will definitely have an effect on future voting decisions.
Just remember this. When VP Harris was asked about agreeing with President Biden's policies, she stated that she couldn't think of anything she disagreed with. Harris has told more lies in this campaign than any politician I've ever heard of. Her political history and performance is totally different than what she's claiming will be her policies if elected. Democrats and Independents should see right through her campaign speeches but.....................

I tried to figure out where all of this started, because it seems to have snowballed...
But I guess it started with a less-than-great comedian making jokes on stage that were obviously triggering to some people. Probably wasn't the best idea to have someone like that at a rally just two weeks before the election... but never the less... the Democrats seized on it and started calling Republicans NAZIs (where haven't they done this before). I need to mention off course... the original NAZI rally in Madison Square Garden was made up almost entirely of Democrats (at the time), back in 1939. In 2024, it's Republicans at the rally, but a very large number of them are Jewish... so it seems silly, quite frankly. When the left uses terms like this ad-nauseam, it loses it's emphasis.
Never the less, I guess Biden referred to the people at the rally as garbage, intending to emphasize (from what I understand) that the content and and some people at the rally were garbage. I haven't seen the exact quote (don't really care to be honest), but then I guess Joe Biden doubled-down... or more specifically, tried to clarify what he meant... and tried to refer to the content as garbage and not the people. This, in my opinion, was dumb, because he brought further attention to it. Trump of course (who's brilliant in these ways), seized upon that and decided to drive a garbage truck to a rally... which only increases the aspect of him being viewed as "for the working man," which the Democrats have largely lost in this election. Pure genius. Harris tried to distance herself from these comments, stating that she would never make fun of people based on who they vote for... which is a wild thing for her to say since she's literally been calling Republican voters "NAZIs" and "fascists" for 4 years.
Anyway, they're comparing it to "basket of deplorables." I don't honestly know if Hillary's comments really swayed anyone. They made it seem like her comment made the difference in the election. I'm not sure at all that it did. And I don't know if Joe Biden's comments did or would have either. What I will say though... is that Trump's ability (or his marketing person) to act on this, by driving a garbage truck is pure genius. This most certainly has convinced a few people who were possibly still on the fence, that he's not "too good" and views himself as fighting for the "working man" (which, I hate that terms like that, to be clear).
Trump's marketing (if not his own decisions), have been pure genius this year. He's been doing things that not only engage the public, but even elicit frustrating outcry from the Democrats, in which those actions only further hurt them and help Trump.
Well, landfills tend to produce great amounts of gas. Please don't contribute to the Harris campaign with any energy sources. The whole campaign seems to be powered by horse apples....................

Hahah! I've never heard this expression before, I had to look it up...
"A horse apple refers to dried horse droppings. It is also commonly associated with the fruit of the Osage-orange tree, which is sometimes called a hedge apple or horse apple, but the term primarily denotes the animal waste."
He wore the orange safety vest through out hi whole rally in Wisconsin last night. Today he is doing a rally in Nevada. Some attendees are wearing orange safety vests.
The consensus seems to be he outdid his McDonald's viral moment.

I tend to think so. I actually thought, at the time, that it was going to be "the defining moment". Pizzed a lot of people off. Probably solidified the "undecideds".
This time? I think it's hilarious. (They can't help but shoot themselves in the foot. Then reload and do it again.) But I'm not sure that it's going to be as dramatic as the fallout from Hillary's comment (if, for no other reason, than we've gotten used to hearing stuff like this) but I think it may have some effect.
Edit - Although it's been speculated in some circles, I really don't think that Brandon is trying to sink Harris's campaign. I think he's just that inept. Neither of them can find their own butt with both hands.

Trump says he won't give disaster relief to states that won't adopt his proposals.

Biden, who isn't running, calls Trump supporters garbage after they cheer at a "joke" calling Puerto Rico garbage (and yes, I do think Biden did that, despite whatever spin he's trying to pull).

You are really good at arguing with yourself. I'll bet you are undefeated.

You're generalizing this entire forum, and I don't know anyone who said any of those things that you're applying to the entire forum.
I will say, if things go the way they seem... how do you think you're going to handle the Inauguration of Trump in January?
One of my greatest fears is that Dems can't see where we are and where Harris will take this nation. She makes campaign promises that anyone with any sense can see are simply lies to get votes and yet some folks actually buy them. As a VP who can't think of anything she would do differently than Biden, if you want more of what that administration did the last 3 plus years then IMHO, you don't give a damn about future generations.
Hopefully if she does win, both the House and the Senate will be controlled by the Conservatives. I've had enough of the WOKE politicians and the garbage coming from them. Open Borders, Horrible Economic Policies, Proposed/Forced Social "Reforms", Buying Votes with our Money, Lying their Asses Off and the list goes on.
BTW, I don't personally care much for DJT but loved his policies. I don't personally know anyone that is doing better now than 4 years ago. Yeah, I'm still Deplorable! ------------------ Rams Learning most of life's lessons the hard way. . You are only young once but, you can be immature indefinitely.

I'm not going to call it fraud and storm the capitol, that's for sure. I'm not going to claim Kamala actually won for the next four years.
I'm just going to sincerely hope he doesn't do some of the things he's said over the last few months. I'm going to hope I was wrong about him, and the things he said truly were just "jokes" or hyperbolic statements made for effect. And I'll move on.

This election was so closely monitored by Poll Watchers, the only way I can see any fraud is either by the different Election Officials behind closed doors or, mail in questionable ballots. I see no real reason to even have "Mail In Ballots". Every state has always had Absentee Ballots. Which accomplishes the same thing and provides a much more secure vote. But I doubt Blue states will agree. No, not a lot of confidence in Blue state accountability.
I'm still pissed off he didn't do what he promised last time.
This time........ Build the DAMN WALL!
I have no doubt, he'll get the money to build the wall and to increase Border Patrol numbers. They won't be able to stop it completely but, it'll dang sure slow dramatically. Actually, I have absolutely no problem with Legal Immigration but, Illegal immigrants should be shipped back to south of the border. Mexico is blatantly part of the problem. They let them in knowing they are just passing through. One has to wonder if Mexico isn't getting some kind of kickback from the gangsters/cartels. Someone is getting rich off this.

Can't say it loud enough, I'm relieved the majority of Americans saw through the Harris campaign and it's lies. Now, I wonder who is the leader of the Democratic Party? One wouldn't think the Dems would choose such a loser as Harris or, would they?
