There are so many contradictions in trump's 'policies' about illegal immigration. On the one hand, he's gonna bring down grocery prices, housing prices, and childcare costs. On the other hand, he's gonna deport millions of illegals, many- if not most-of whom work in agriculture/food processing, construction, and childcare. Somehow this will not raise costs in those areas.

No I will not be taking questions.

workers won't get deported. capitalism needs them. they just want to be able to shoot people at the border and be able to harass minorities in the streets.

if they deport the workers then they will lose one of the foundations of their entire party platform. I don't think that's what they want.

A problem: mass deportations of workers is the key to their everything. Their plan to decrease housing prices is to create more inventory by kicking people out of it. Their plan to increase high-paying jobs is to kick people out of them. Their plan to bring down healthcare costs is to kick people out of it. It's the cited plan:

https://x.com/daveweigel/status/1829491484737024047?t=Sg_YSbDjTFlqm1Rw5GkBIw&s=19

Also, another reason why tomorrow's debate is only tangentially about Donnie. He changes positions by the hour on most things and will likely do the exact same during the debate and it will be impossible for Kamala to both be candidate and fact-checker. She'll likely have to go "well that's funny, regardless of what you say, you did x and I will do y" and keep it moving.

If anyone wants some context on the Haitian racism stuff in that town: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/03/us/springfield-ohio-school-bus-crash-haiti-immigrants.html

tl;dr is a Haitian immigrant head-on'd a school bus on the first day of school last year, killing an 11 year old and injuring a bunch more, sparking the racist tinder bundle that had been building up as the city failed to effectively respond to an influx of new people.

I comment because I know the area and have family there. The city has been a complete shithole for years, and has only recently had a revitalization with new work opportunities that drew people to it. It's a good thing, and all of this racism is basically "we want the city to 'bounce back' but oh wait not with those people" and is very sad.

Apparently, it's their bid to win back suburban women. Yeah Trump sucks, but if Kamala wins GUESS WHO COULD BE YOUR NEW NEIGHBOR HUH

Incidentally, this was the major Republican campaign point in trying to knock off the Minnesota governor in the 2022 midterm, especially with the history of BLM protests and the large Somali population. It totally worked!

(in getting Walz on the ticket)

It's a lot like how Republicans don't shut up about trans poo poo during election years and it still hasn't won them a single major contested seat. All just dumb -isms that aren't actually convincing the people they need to convince.

I probably should've dropped the "high-paying" part in that post! They usually don't mention the wage part and say that things will just be cheaper (somehow) and it's also the same reasoning that led Donnie to say that migrant workers were stealing "black jobs" in the last debate.

Best I've got for you is that she's been holed up in debate camp in Pittsburgh for quite a few days, brought in outside folks for it, and went outside to a spice shop to buy stuff and talk to folks. She did not look or talk like she had a stroke.

But I sure did get a shock when ol' Joe came out of debate camp like a corpse!

For what it's worth, Kamala's people know that, especially with Donnie getting a zillion negative ads against him and somehow still having decent approval ratings. She might not even address him very much!

Not arguing with him is the best play. "Well that was another weird lie. Here's the truth in two bullet points, now on to someone that doesn't look like they had a stroke then poo poo their dementia brains out their rear end in a top hat." There's no "debating" with a narcissist. They'll tell whatever lie their etch-a-sketch brain comes up with in that instant to make themselves look good, then bulldoze right over your attempt to refute that with their eternal spring of other lies in the reality they perceive between their ears. There's no possibility of winning, ever, so just don't engage. "That's a lie, you're loving weird, moving on."
