Let's do a quick summary on this.

He has appointed Supreme court justices with the specific intent of repealing Roe v Wade. He has then bragged about it 1,000 times.

During his administration, he enacted policies restricting access to birth control (Biden administration later intervened) and family planning services (de-funding Planned Parenthood). These are irrefutable facts.

Now what, where and when has Trump said anything remotely close to a contrary opinion or policy? Only thing he has said a 1,000 times is "lets not talk about it".

GOP group claims Kamala Harris is ineligible to be president due to Dred Scott decision

Quote:
A prominent Republican group is citing one of the most reviled Supreme Court (SCOTUS) decisions in American history to justify its case that Vice President Kamala Harris should be deemed ineligible to run under the U.S. Constitution.
Quote:
The resolution — which attorney Andrew Fleischman posted to the social media platform Bluesky — cited Article II, Section 1, Paragraph 5 of the Constitution, which pertains to only natural-born U.S. citizens being eligible to serve as president. The NFRA argued that the phrase "natural born citizen" is defined as "a person born on American soil of parents who are both citizens of the United States at the time of the child's birth."
Quote:
"Several states, candidates, and major political parties have ignored this fundamental Presidential qualification, including candidates Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy and Kamala Harris whose parents were not American citizens at the time of their birth," the NFRA's resolution read.
Just wondering that if this ruling applies, Ms. Harris should not have become the VP? And how about felons, shouldn't there be a ruling or two to prevent them from standing for POTUS or any elected office for that matter? Most employers would pass on hiring felons mostly due to the liabilities involved.

I also sense a conspiracy since the people mentioned above are all Asian Indians. Nikki for sure will not get a job with Trump, Vivek will get passed up for being too unstable (Trump like).

Can you tell me what Trump stands for and this is from his campaign event yesterday.

Quote:
The event included a number of people within Trump’s inner circle and local Arizona MAGA politics. U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake, who failed in her 2022 run for governor but is still trying to overturn that loss in the courts, spoke to attendees, as did her GOP rival in last month’s primary election, Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb.

Other speakers included state Sen. Jake Hoffman, who was indicted earlier this year for his role in a “fake elector” scheme designed to give Republicans in Congress the ability to overrule Joe Biden’s victories in Arizona and other battleground states, Republican Congressmen Paul Gosar, Andy Biggs and Eli Crane. GOP congressional candidate Abe Hamadeh also attended the rally.

A theme among many of the speakers was distrust of the media, the border, “election integrity” and crime.
So what are his policies on combating these? Or do we need to read the 1,000 page Project 2025?

Here's a perfect description of you.

No you didn't. Your laundry list was of general Dem positions, but I'm asking about Kamala's agenda/positions. Unless you're claiming that she'll be whatever the Party wants her to be...

Some 37 states have laws to address price gouging, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Lies and irony. It’s how Whell’s World works.
I see you that you don't understand the difference between state's laws against profiteering and and the Federal government entering the market to fix prices. Sucks to be you.

Concept is "Dump Trump".

Any proof to that like links may be? Its a rhetorical question.

An explainer for our village idiot. It's called politics.
From your BBC article:

In that time Democrats pulled together a well-scripted national convention with slickly produced promotional videos, political set-pieces and musical interludes, all done to boost the new nominee. It was a remarkable test of skill by party operatives under extreme pressure.

So, you're a sucker for style over substance. I get it.

Also:

“We need to hear some actual policy things,” said Lewanna Tucker, chair of the Democratic Party in Fulton County, Georgia. “She needs to be letting us a little bit more behind the curtain and talk about structural things that are going to be done.”

Perhaps more concrete policy details aren't necessary. At a time when American politics is viewed by much of the American public as divisive and toxic, there may be benefit to building a political campaign not around policy specifics, but rather one that appeals to emotion.


Sounds like a variation on the "let them eat cake" strategy.

Educate yourself by opening a browser and typing "harris price controls". It took me about 2 seconds to find this and many more like it:
