Now let’s hear her talk without a teleprompter.

When and if that happens, it will be 100% scripted and rehearsed. Just like Biden. Do people even realize that Biden NEVER held a full blown press conference in 4 years and the media never bothered to question that.

Trump asked Walz to bring in the National Guard, which is what you do to quell riots. So why did you even mention it?

The National Guard are state troops unless deployed on a federal mission. Trump said he would deploy active duty troops against Floyd protesters because he felt that governors were not responding appropriately. Also he is on record discussing “sending in the National Guard or the troops“, in cases of “breakdown of the rule of law” although this discussion was not in relation to the George Floyd protests. The operative word of course is “or”.

No comment on your buddy Daleiden?

So what was your point? Why did you say what you did? Your style of writing makes everything sound like an accusation against Trump, which may be why another poster suggested that maybe you are Lynn Cheney. What WAS your point?

Kamala’s office investigated Daleiden but left office 2 months before the actual prosecution. She did not prosecute Planned Parenthood even though she had the proof of their plans. She hid that proof so that it was not available to other states investigating PP, who then declined to prosecute because they didn’t have the evidence that Kamala was hoarding. That evidence has only now been released because Congress subpoenaed it. IOW, not only did Harris’s office not prosecute PP; they hid evidence so that nobody else could prosecute them either. They had evidence of plans to literally butcher children and made sure that the perps were never prosecuted.

Name me one time when mainstream media sources have been prosecuted for taping converstations that expose wrongdoing. James O’Keefe doesn’t count because he is conservative. When has a liberal reporter been prosecuted?

My point was that Trump has suggested sending in the military, not the National Guard, to quell riots. It’s not an accusation, it is simply a factual statement in response to an inaccurate statement.

I don’t think the mainstream media makes non-consensual recordings of conversations in jurisdictions where it is illegal, so won’t bother looking into that. But the Supreme Court declined his appeal.

Then you agree with Trump that it was necessary to call
In the National Guard that’s good

Yes. Somebody has to call in the National Guard, and if governors weren’t doing it then Trump needed to do it. I was never disputing that calling in the National Guard was the right thing to do.

I had the time to look back at the history of what you were responding to.

So are you saying that Kamala was accurate when she said that Trump will jail journalists? And BTW, were the journalists who leaked a SCOTUS decision - an illegal plot that ended up with SCOTUS justices being threatened - ALSO prosecuted for wrongdoing, as you seem to think was justified with Daleiden? Was anybody punished like Daleiden for recording Trump’s call with Raffensperger or with Zelensky and then leaking those to the press? Was the press punished for publishing illegally-acquired recordings as was done with Julian Assange publishing illegally-acquired information?

Kamala’s implication is that Trump would use the military AGAINST US citizens, which is the opposite of Trump using the military to PROTECT US citizens, such as from lawless conditions such as rioting. Are you saying that Kamala was right when she said that Trump would use the military AGAINST US citizens rather than to protect US citizens as is necessary during riots or when martial law is declared?

I did not watch Harris’ speech. Journalists did not leak the Dobbs decision, someone working in or with the Supreme Court leaked it. It is not illegal to publish unclassified information obtained from confidential sources.

Daleiden was charged with illegally recording communications without the consent of the other party. Obviously and admittedly, he recorded his conversations with Planned Parenthood without their consent, which is illegal in California. Whenever I call my bank, my health insurance company, etc, they inform me I am I on a recorded line, and ask me if I want to proceed. That is the law in California. Yes I think he should be prosecuted but am not aware that he was prosecuted. He was sued by Planned Parenthood, lost that case, and lost all appeals up to the US Supreme Court, which declined to hear his case.

It is legal to tape calls in Georgia without the consent of both parties. Raffensberger’s recording of his call with Trump was not illegal. There is no crime to charge Raffensberger with. There was no leak of Trumps call with Zelensky. Trump himself released a transcript. In neither case was any illegally acquired recording, or transcript, released.

You’re avoiding the issue of Kamala holding evidence of literal baby butchering. Would you agree that baby butchering is wrong, and that it is much more important than recording an audio conversation in a world where our phones listen in on every conversation we have?

Also Trump had no choice but to release the transcript because Schiff labeled him. Schaffer also labeled Nunes and also hid the truth just like Kamala did. Do you have any problem with any of Schiff’s or Kamala’s behavior? I ask because here on this conservatives I’ve never seen you criticize anybody but conservatives. I’ve never seen you make any point except the msm narratives.

Also please tell me why Assange is a wanted man but the papers who reported the illegal disclosures of the scouts decision aren’t and nothing has been done about the person who illegally leaked that.

Seems like the rules you espouse ensure that only innocent Americans can be spied on, not the people committing serious crimes. The innocent are persecuted and the guilty are protected. Sick.

L.i.b.e.l.e.d him. My phone doesn’t allow me to say that without the dots.

I’m not avoiding any issues. The investigation showed that the illegally obtained recordings had been edited and manipulated and were not reliable as evidence that a crime was committed by anyone except Daleiden. It is a basic tenet of our justice system that illegally obtained evidence cannot be used in the charging or prosecution of a crime.

I’m not debating why Trump released the transcript. I was stating that there was no illegally recorded tape of a call between Trump and Zelensky that was leaked to the press, as you excitedly ranted in the post I replied to. My post was not a criticism of anyone, it was merely a statement of fact.
