I have heard the term Master Class multiple times and yes it was. I think this debate will be taught in classes. I mean Kamala had great debate prep and she nailed every single point and Donnie was the sullen, whiny, toddler he has always been. And Donnie got fact checked which helped throw him off his game as well. The ABC moderators did a much better job than the CNN "moderators".

The president can't do squat about abortion because it's a constitutional matter that only the Supreme Court can vote one way or the other on. Also the 5th amendment bans abortion because it clearly states that anyone charged with a capital offense aka death sentence must have his or her day in court to defend themselves. Which automatically means a child must first be born to be present at court. You Rufus. You're ignorant.

Old don responded without delay: “yes. It is a Concept of a plan.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Just like concept cars, most will never get to a production, concept is a very, very early stage of ideas/thoughts. Truth is donnie’s “better healthcare plan” does not even exist, it is nowhere to be found other than perhaps in his imagination. That is precisely why we cannot read what’s in it. He took the time, though, to write and plan fascist Project 2025. Pretty telling about his priorities- become America’s Hitler but clearly solving people’s problems is not of interest to him.

Trumps act is so old, tired and boring. He has nothing to offer except weird nonsensical comments like eating cats. Did he admit losing the 2020 election or did he go back again and say 60 courts are wrong ? Over 200 prominent republicans have endorsed Harris.

[@peacefulheart9228]

That is just it beloved - Trump does not need to act or be scripted - there is no way Harris can bring peace - Trump can and has. UNITY = TRUMP 2024 - we are one - vote for peace - he is our only chance because he is not owned by the military industrial complex. peace be with you.

[@mrkeogh]

He claimed that "the judges didn't even look at the case." More than 60 federal judges, some of whom he appointed, all just refused to even considering the case, according to Trump. He's a terrible liar, and his gaslighting is getting worse.
