Even Trumps properties have similar characteristics to himself. Amazing. I thought Dumbass Donald Dump "loves" the U.S.A? He sure shows it with much he pollutes his country to enrich himself.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...er-chicago-environmental-ruling-b2612006.html

A federal judge has ruled that Trump Tower in Chicago is a public nuisance and an environmental hazard for killing thousands of fish.

Last year, Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul and environmental activists asked the Cook County Circuit Court to rule on their case against the Trump International Hotel and Tower in downtown Chicago, arguing its operators had failed to comply with environmental laws.


Now, a judge has ruled that Trump Tower is a public nuisance and that its cooling water intake system has killed thousands of fish from the Chicago River, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. The tower sits at 401 N. Wabash Ave. and opened in 2009. It has been operating without a proper state water permit and does not accurately report water discharge levels, according to a lawsuit.


Its intake system pulls 20 million gallons of water daily from the Chicago River to cool the building. Groups alleged the building has illegally sucked in and killed thousands of fish.

That amount of water means the building is subject to state and federal regulations about water intake and protecting fish.

Trump Tower “has created and continues to create a public nuisance in violation of Illinois law,” Cook County Circuit Court Judge Thaddeus L. Wilson said in his ruling, according to the Sun-Times.


The intake system also operates “in a manner that substantially and unreasonably interferes with the public right to fish and otherwise recreate in the Chicago River,” Wilson continued.
“They were able to kill more fish and aquatic organisms than what would be allowed,” Margaret Frisbie, executive director of Friends of the Chicago River, told the Sun-Times. “This decision brings us near the end of a six-year journey.”


“We’ll be monitoring to make sure they obey the law,” Jack Darin, director of Sierra Club Illinois, also told the outlet.

The next hearing is scheduled for November. If the sides do not reach an agreement, it will be up to the courts to how to force the building to comply with regulations.


“Trump Tower failed to follow state and federal regulations that protect the health of the Chicago River,” Raoul said in a statement. “All entities – no matter who they are – must be held accountable when they willfully disregard our laws.”

The Independent has contacted the Trump Organization for comment.

What people are talking about is how Kamala refuse to answer questions

Do you think it's in the best interest of the US for Ukraine to win the war?
Trump: "I don't want people to die"

Would you veto a federal abortion ban?
Trump: 'It's never going to happen, so I don't have to answer that'

Do you have any regrets for things you could have done on Jan 6th?
Trump: 'It wasn't my fault. I didn't do anything'

Do you have a plan for a new health care system?
Trump: "I have a concept of a plan"


Get out of here with that garbage you're spouting and do some self-introspection. It's beyond embarrassing at this point.

This must be the most accurate and truthful children's book/ebook out there. Only fault being the other trucks didnt let Donald Dump sink into the swamp. He always talks about draining the swamp when in reality, he IS the Swamp.

I'll add that neither candidate did good, especially with giving specific answers to hot-topic questions. That being said, I wasn't particularly surprised that this was the case, for different reasons:
In Kamala's case, my guess would be that she wants to avoid isolating her potential audience by taking a firm stance one way or the other. Moderate voters are mostly in her court now; Trump hasn't done much to win them over and given them plenty of reason to look to Harris. As long as she can hold that moderate appeal, Trump will dig his own grave by continuing to talk whenever he gets the opportunity.
In Trump's case, I suspect that he simply believes doing what he's always done will lead him to victory. Whether that actually works or not remains to be seen.

For the Russia vs Ukraine answer, it was kind of baffling. He focused on the people killed from Russia and the families lost on that side. The aggressors side. He said that he would end the war, but wouldn't elaborate on what would happen to the land lost on the Ukraine side. It just made it painfully obvious that would give Russia everything they want by starving Ukraine out of any aid to defend themselves.

Something all the more emphasized by Harris' pouncing on Trump on that point.
Try as he might, Trump is associated much more closely to Putin then he ever will be as a Ukraine sympathizer. This is a reputation he's been cultivating for years--one that isn't doing him many favors nowadays.

Of all the people he could've chose as a character witness, the first place his mind went was Viktor Orban. Sucking up to dictators doesn't even appeal to everyone in his base, let alone centrists or undecided voters, but his malignant narcissism forces him to believe that anyone who gives him a compliment must be a good person.

"Gender transition treatment" and "sex change operations" are two different things

But I'll leave that for your tiny mind to process.
Post automatically merged:

Trump just announced a new plan to eliminate taxes on overtime pay.

How long till Kamala steals this one
Then in 2025, 134 million american's will only work overtime.

I can also see employers cutting your overtime rate, because you aren't paying tax on it.
Also, why hire two people if you can pay one person and a lower rate of overtime.

I don't think he's thought this one out.

Not only are you a fucking idiot, you have ZERO self awareness about how the debate went down. Even conversatives like Bill O'Reilly, Dan Crenshaw and Lindsay Graham tell him got destroyed in the debate what does that tell you?. Migrants eating dogs and cats sounds like a skit Jimmy Kimmel would do on Trump yet he actually said that crap live around the world. Then even worse, like a baby he yet again denied he lost the election in 2020 and brought up ballot fraud blahblahblah, instead of just saying i lost by a whisker, wont happen again and im gonna do my best to win the next one BIGLY. But he is incapable of that. Then he goes on a tangent about Kamala using AI for her crowds when she mentioned that even his base is getting tried of his repetitive crap he spouts at them time and time again, usually without talking about any policy or how he is going to make life in the future better for THEM, not him. But then again, he never cared about them in the first place, it has always been about himself. I've said this before but America should be embarrassed this idiot has ran for their presidency for the past 10 years.
Donald is clearly increasing his unhinged-ness, as well as standing more and more isolated.

Thus far, his behavior was kind of brushed off as anekdotal or excused by larger media corporations ("sane washed", if we're going by trends). But it's getting harder and harder to keep up that appearance.

I said it two days ago an hour BEFORE the debate that dumb racist former Infowars moron Loomer was gonna get Dump to say stupid shit during the debate and boy was i right. Straight after the debate i said in this very thread that dumbass Dumps idea to mention the eating dogs and cats story came right out of that stupid womans mouth and i was 100% right. Hell, it took 2 CNN, NBC etc 2 days to realise what i have been saying for 48 hours about where Donalds stupid claim came from. I think one of those stations should hire me for research and fact checking since i seem to be ahead of all their journo's about where the orange idiot is getting his ideas from

Here’s something I don't understand about Loomer. She is a 9/11 conspiracy theorist, and believes it was an inside job.

She's RIGHT NEXT TO a previous president of the united states, and she hasn't asked him?!? Or does she think he's lying when he says that it's a nonsense conspiracy?

You could try. But I've got to be honest: guys like David Pakman, Brian Tyler Cohen and Farron balanced point out this stuff on a daily basis for months now (well...years, but again: it's getting worse).
