Haitian voudou might be real, but they don't use cats. They don't eat cats. And they don't steal people's pets to sacrifice. God.

Yup. I grew up in south Florida and people engaged in this kind of fear mongering before. To the extent they practice voodoo they use chickens and if they’re “wealthy” or the ceremony is big enough they’ll use a goat. And they aren’t stolen.

Reason is clear, they’re definitely having sex.

I wonder how much he's paying her.

No one would actually have sex with that disgusting old man for fun, would they?

Anyway, the right doesn't believe in sex outside of marriage or sex for anything other than procreation. So he's sinning, they will have to have an intervention, right?
 
I come in peace....and have two hopefully somewhat interesting observations/questions about the debate Tuesday night.
1. From what I heard, there was not any mention of the national debt/deficits/balancing budgets. That is kind of astonishing to me because that always felt like a hot topic in the past. My guess is that everyone involved realizes that balanced budges are a pipe dream these days so why even bother to address it, and to me, is a very bad sign about ever approaching any kind of fiscal responsibility in the near future. A possible government shutdown looms and not a peep of that either. What do all of you make of that omission?
2. The entire back and forth about what each presidential candidate will do if elected really ignored the big old elephant/donkey in the room. The President cannot (and maybe should not) be able to do too much without the support of Congress. I was stunned that neither candidate implored voters to vote for Senate and House candidates from their respective parties. Maybe both are planning to use Executive Orders more. The talk about working across the aisle with members of the other Party surely has gone away but now it feels like they have forgotten to even discuss getting a majority in the Senate and House to really get legislation moving. Was that omission by both on purpose or just did not think of it?

An estimated 5,000 people braved the blazing temperatures – which hovered just above 100F (37.8C) through the afternoon – to wait in line outside the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall in Tucson, an auditorium rented by the campaign that holds about 2,300 people. Meanwhile, city emergency crews responded to dozens of calls for heat injuries before Trump took the stage, according to local public radio reporter Alisa Zaira Reznick.

He also focused heavily on immigration, a typical target for his rallies, stoking fears about waves of criminals crossing into the country and again accusing Haitian immigrants of eating animals in Springfield, Ohio.

“They take in the geese … and even walk off with their pets,” Trump said, repeating the unfounded and racist smear that has been challenged by the town’s officials and has inflamed tensions and attacks against members of the Haitian community.

Mocking Harris for smiling

More mocking smiling as he declares how angry he is 😡

Then the quadruples down on debunked lies about Venezuelan gangs “taking over Aurora, Colorado” (not just one apartment building anymore) and “Illegal Haitians”

“Springfield Ohio … I campaigned there … it was so beautiful, now it’s just, what a place, can you imagine you have this small little place and you have 20,000 Illegals in your community who knows where they come from …”

1. Moderators didn’t ask the question. Why? Your guess as good as anyone’s.
2. Good question. Trump Will definitely try to do things via executive order if given the chance. Harris did indeed implore voters to get out and vote. Perhaps she didn’t say “get out and vote down ballot - as well as for me”, but she darn well implored people to get out and vote for a new way forward.
