Kamala Harris is now taking credit for the border after a month of media saying she wasn't the border czar.
I enjoy the fact that you're hate-watching the DNC at all. It will boost its ratings, which we know is exactly the type of silly thing that pisses Trump off.

Hope this helps the clueless MAGA:

The Vice President of the United States, also knowns as VPOTUS or Veep, is an important position in the executive branch of federal government. The Vice President is probably best known as being “a heartbeat away from the presidency”, meaning that if a sitting President dies or is impeached, the Vice President takes over. However, constitutionally, the main responsibility of the Vice President is the role of President of the Senate. Under Article One, Section Three of the US constitution:

“The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.”

As head of the upper house of congress, the Vice President votes on legislation or other motions only when Senators are deadlocked 50-50. This has occurred 243 times and involved 35 different Vice Presidents. Whilst in the past the Vice President would actively preside over Senate proceedings, nowadays its customary that they only get involved in order to break a tie.

The only other formally recognized duty of the Vice President is to preside over and certify the tally of electoral college votes after a Presidential election has taken place.

Trump's blip didn't last long

Kamala also ahead in Arizona and very close in Nevada

There's almost always a post-convention bump. It may go back down again. Hopefully she maintains. Still waiting to see what RFK's dropout and Trump endorsement will do.

My advice is don't give Valwinz an attention nor feed his troll, so don't engage with him at all.

He is just want to nerve-wracking you and make you crazy. Insult him won't do in your favor but make him show you as insane to his right wing buddies.

Also, GBATemp moderators have to be neutral when deal with someone break rule in political section and they can share their opinion, but as for moderation action, they are neutral. That's same for other forums and I know two banned political discussions.

They need to change the Constitution to prohibit convicted felons from running for president. you couldn't even get hired at McDonald's with a felony conviction, let alone 34

It would require 2/3 from the house (290 out of 435) and the senate (67), and 3/4 from states (38) to change the US constitution.

It is impossible for democrats nor republicans to achieve the goal, so last 60 democrats in senate was back in 2009 until 2010 when democrat senators were in Louisiana, Missouri, North Dakota, Alaska, South Dakota, North Carolina, Florida, Arkansas and Montana (had two senators). Now, no parties could score 60 again, so best would be 55 or less.

It would need very upset election, such as if republicans attempt to kill Social Security and Medicare, and series of unpopular laws that are bad enough to flip in red states. Kinda like Canada in 1993 election.

Since it's @x65943 thread. That would look a bit odd :P
I mean the whole section of the forum
Post automatically merged:

Just so everyone knows, Valwinz is likely pulling all these things from Fox News, since they are talking about these sort of things.
So basically like a parrot but nowhere as endearing

The network ended the live interview after 10 minutes. Beeps could be heard as the former president seemed to accidentally press the buttons on the keypad of his phone.
...
Finally, while Mr. Trump was still midsentence, Mr. Baier moved to end the interview and thanked his guest for his time: “We appreciate that live feedback.”
Fucking hilarious. Basically a manchild throwing a tantrum after being called out.
