Trump and Vance dodge truth, make big promises in trying to drum up support
Editor:
To undecided voters, be sure to not confuse what do you know and what do you think you know. Trust history, not imagination. That requires looking for real facts, logical explanations, and not mere conclusions. Bragging does not count.
Ignore partisan TV and personalities. And read the link below to an interview that makes clear that freedom as we know it is at stake.
For 9 years everyday has brought new turns and twists. More accusations, more promises, more threats, and more bragging. So much I only write about a few things since the VP debate.
Recently Trump, Vance and Fox have been claiming criminal immigrants/illegals “walk free” based on ICE reports. In fact ICE reports use the words “in detention” and “not in detention.” That basically means “in prison” but not held by ICE itself.
The reality is Biden decided to clean up decades of mess by locating and arresting these criminals.
The recent accusation Biden is taking FEMA money for ICE is false! Look it up. Actually it was Trump who did that.
Look it up. Remember Maria and the Puerto Rico aid disaster. Remember delaying disaster aid to Blue States. All Trump.
At the debate Vance claimed a Federal Reserve “study” shows immigrants are driving up the price of houses. That is playing the blame game. Vance’s follow up “proof” was a quote from one member of the regional Houston Branch who simply said: “Given.. current low inventory of affordable housing ….(In some areas)… new immigrants could result in upwards pressure…”
Trump’s so-called plan for housing is to stop immigration but that does not level the playing field with Trump’s big property developer donors. (Vance used to do that and still gets money from his big money mentor.)
Harris’ proposal appears to use USDA-type grants and incentives to spur private housing. The fundamental idea is proven. Whether or not there will be similar repayment terms or recapture for early sales appears to be an open question. But it’s doable.
Vance was so intent on claiming immigrants are eating pets he tried to talk over Walz and denied the existence of long standing (Reagan Era) Visa law. Both mics got cut. (Walz, not the attorney, knew the law.)
Walz did call one Vance answer “damning.” It deserves attention as Trump has left so many people who have anything to do with him fallen in his wake.
Presidents, vice presidents, congressmen and lawyers all take an oath to support the Constitution. Vance refuses to pledge he will support the final vote count after each governor certifies their state’s vote.
Pence honored his oath. Not on the ticket. Vance however is a proven charlatan. A never Trumper who is willing to break the same fundamental oath all our soldiers take and many have died for.
That is critical stuff!
Similarly Trump’s lawyers – those who joined him in his dishonorable ways – learned the hard way. Falsify papers and claims and you get disbarred.
Giuliani testified he had “hoped” he could find proof of what he said in his speeches around the country and under oath to the courts. All he ever actually had, all any of them had, was exactly on tape from which 8 hours was deleted. Those hours showed continuous surveillance of ballots Giuliani and others said were tampered with.
The various court cases and disbarments trials laid out the bogus claims in detail but Trump people avoid reading anything different than what he tells them. Evidence is what you see, hear, and facts you read. Trust evidence and not Trump or those who repeat what he says as fact.
At the debate Vance was such a Trump puppy his math was bad! Harris spending 1.5 trillion to help people is covered by letting Trump’s tax cuts expire. Trump adding another 5.8 trillion of tax cuts adds 5.8 trillion to the debt. On follow up he dodged explaining the difference.
Actually, as we all recently lived through, big tax cuts result in a spurt and then lead to inflation which peaks in about two to three years. And that’s assuming tariffs do not collapse middle class buying power before then. Tariffs result in price rises as the supply chain is restocked. Economists are united on this fairly obvious fact as companies pay tariffs, not nations as Trump repeatedly claims.
The entire goal of moving production back here requires building and getting plants on line first. Biden started that job two years ago. It’s solid stuff Harris will continue and finish. It’s a matter of putting first things first. Trump’s lines from the teleprompter leave that out.
After the debate, the DC Court complied with the new SCOTUS requirements and the released materials showing Trump was not innocent Jan 6th. There were documented months his convicted or still charged accomplices laid illegal and multiple contingency plans. And only a crook would say “so what” when warned about, and asked to intervene, when his VP was close to getting killed. That’s from multiple witnesses.
Believe this if nothing else! When it comes to Pence’s danger and possible death there is no reason Trump can not step up and deny saying something which is false. His silence signifies guilt!
See if this fits Trump and Vance. Everything is wrong or someone else’s fault. That they leave out that Republicans were the big force pushing for trade deals and behind tax cut deficits for several decades. Their policies are tailored to give specific groups what they want – the top few percent, large corporations, fringe groups, with some bones to people who are impressed when they get quick and easy answers.
In the debate Vance, the Yale Law School grad who said Trump uses Hitler’s tactics, got a A on slick-talking in the debate but got a F for honesty. He believes democracy is outmoded. For more read “What JD Vance Really Believes.” The interview and review starts down the page (Click here).
It seems with Harris and Walz they always acknowledge we are privileged to live in a great country with decent hard-working people. They talk about time-proven type solutions. They know since the Declaration of Independence that freedom, happiness for all, and prosperity for everyone without bias take priority.
Walz’ debate showed he could bring his gun and fit right here in living in Orleans County. He is a good man with good ideas and plans whose state ranks first in so many areas it’s hard to count.
Ben Franklin said that Democracy is fragile. Do your homework.
