Lots of complaints from attendees at Trump rally in Phoenix (Glendale). Poorly organized & lots of nuts.

[patsystrickland]

Remember people who told you Trump was a crook, and they were right, now hes a Felon!😂

Kamala is making history as the first candidate for president who has not done an interview for a full month

Madame Vice President, ...Ms. Harris, ...

Negotiate terms. Vigorously.
Here's a thought.

Asking him a really pointed 'yes/no'-answer question. A question that you choose in advance.

Given the plan to 'mute' the other participant's microphone when it isn't their turn, it won't be possible to have a real-time back-&-forth. But if it's a well-chosen question, then perhaps end the last 60 seconds of each turn speaking, with a reference to that same question. And modify the question/reference each time to apply to, to respond to, the last time he addressed that question in his own turn to speak. Make those modifications strategically (given that you may have a fairly good idea of the sorts of lies he's used in the past to deflect from whatever poignant question you've chosen). As would any good prosecutor engaging in cross-examination of a hostile witness. Just plan for a bit of "delayed-gratification" while conducting a cross-examination in time-delayed increments. And see how he does. And if he tries to avoid whatever issue it is, use that opportunity at the end of your own turn to speek to criticize him for it. Pointedly. With an accumulated set of facts from a previously and studiously compiled list on the subject. Whatever it is.

Is that alright, do you think?


And,


~~ Hold out for proper terms.

Make sure that he agrees to Muted microphones when it's not a person's time to talk.
*(Otherwise he will simply shout lies, nonsense misdirection, and outright insults over whatever you happen to be saying at any given moment, etc., &c. ...And that's just a 'given'.)


~~ No live audience.
*(Since otherwise there is the distinct possibility that he and Fox News will arrange for a hand-cherry-picked audience almost exclusively comprised of die-hard Trump supporters, election deniers, or worse. And those people will "boo"-on-cue, shout out loudly individuall or en ensemble, and/or start chanting. And it will likely be arranged in ways that would be difficult or almost impossible to prove, and even if such a thing were to be proven, he would lie and deny it anyway, and creatively select snippets of video of the event to include in negative ad campaigns. Not absoolutely, necessarily the case. ...But not out of the question, either.)


Again,

Thank you, ma'am, ...for everything. Keep up the good work. Yo hang in there.

Sincerely,

Owen Jay Korman

HARRIS-WALZ 2024 to the Oval Office —All Aboard!!!

[MikeYoungeasytravel]

Low energy Trump! Too old and too weird!

[johnny]

I hope no *Registered Republican* tries to do something crazy.

[johnnydoe]

I don’t know Why Trump is even
bothering to Hold Rallies with
Low Turnout & the Attendees
Fainting in Hundreds. 🤷🏻‍♂️

ABC should just give Trump and Harris questions in advance of debate. It's the best way to get answers and takes away Trumps excuse to drop out. Trump and Harris can explain how they will fund programs. Harris can explain the housing plan. Trump can explain the plan to deport millions of immigrants. Both can explain tax plans. Trump can explain Tariffs he plans. Both can explain policy on Ukraine and Israel.

[markmartin]

Is kamala not doing interviews or talking about her policy because she doesn’t want to give trump anything but her old stuff to prep for the debate? Serious question. I have tried to become informed on both candidates and looking up “Kamala cnn” yields this video as the first result behind the dnc stuff last week. I just don’t get it. Trump is going candid interviews with celebrities and I can’t find anything on kamala.

Kamala 2024! Defend Democracy by Protecting Apartheid!

[brm]

I'm voting for you Kammy! Only you can bring the Mighty USA to it's knees.

[owenk]

Please don't think that I'm being argumentative. This is a question to which I, sincerely and honestly, would really like to know the answer.

Am I mistaken in assuming that it is against Federal law (and actionable as such) for any local, and perhaps even state-level, election board/committee to refuse to certify an already-counted election result? ...That the certification of already-counted election results is an entirely 'ministerial' process (just tallying everything up, and certifying that it's been tallied). And has no other interpretive or qualitative/qualifying function?

Because *if* that is in fact the case, then no matter what new election certification laws, say, the state of Georgia has ginned up at the last moment, if anyone there (or in any other state of this Union) tries to prevent certification, as long as everything has been counted correctly, they can be prosecuted by the Federal Attorney General, and if found guilty, have those actions be nullified, and be penalized accordingly. Yes?

Unless I'm mistaken. Which, of course, is a distinct possibility.

Enlighten me, please.

Kindest regards,
Owen Jay Korman

*Post Script:

Oh, and donate to Fair Fight. It's a group of massively coordinated, and profoundly well-intentioned grass-roots voting rights activists who want *every*one in Georgia (and beyond) to be able to vote, any way they'd like. They've figured out how to go about constructing a very large-scale and impressively organized voting rights campaign all throughout the state.

...And we should all donate to those good people. Lavishly. I have (well, as best as I can, anyway.)

:]
(BIG smile!)

And especially thank *you* Ms. Abrams. Please. PleasepleasePleasePleeeeze, ...run for Governor again at some point. *Every*one in the whole state will be better off if you take office (whether they know it at this point, or not.)

Thank you so much (for everything).

Imagine campaigning on the promise of fixing all the problems you and your political party created.

[Dittxxyinc]

Just remember that the same people who told you “Joe is sharp as ever” and “he’s mentally fit” are the same people telling you kamala is “great”. Weird!

[thedirty]

Country over party! This country is done with maga extremism!

[tejanoj]

As a so called business man, is convict Trump dumb for not knowing the law, or is he stupid for knowing the law and purposely breaking them anyway? Which is it?!
