That asshat liar JD Vance never ceases to amaze ya,
But he seems to have caught some of Trump’s aphasia.

“We were energy independent, we were soon going to be energy dominant, and we would’ve been now having so much money coming out of the energy. We just have the best. We have Bagram in Alaska. They say it might be as big, might be bigger, than all of Saudi Arabia. I got it approved. Ronald Reagan couldn’t do it, nobody could do it. I got it done. In their first week they [the Biden administration] terminated it….Check that one out. Bagram. Check that one that. ANW—it’s, it’s—no, think about this. Between Bagram, between—you go to ANWR…”

“You look at Haiti, you look at the demographic makeup, you look at the average I.Q. — if you import the third world into your country, you’re going to become the third world. That’s just basic. It’s not racist. It’s just fact.”

International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance said its Global Report on the State of Democracy, which measures democratic performance in 158 countries from 1975 till today, found that 47% of countries have experienced a decline in key democratic indicators over the past five years, marking the eighth consecutive year of global democratic backsliding. One in three elections are being disputed in some way and the average percentage of the voting age population that actually cast ballots has declined from 65.2% in 2008 to 55.5% in 2023. Globally, in nearly 20% of elections between 2020 and 2024, one of the losing candidates or parties rejected the result, and elections were being decided by court appeals at the same rate.
A new ABC News/Ipsos poll finds Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump among likely voters nationwide, 52% to 46%. It’s the same margin as before the debate which voters say Harris won by 58% to 36%.
Kamala Harris raised $47 million in the first 24 hours following her debate with Donald Trump on Tuesday night, the New York Times reports. “That tally included donations from 600,000 people. It is her largest 24-hour fund-raising period since an initial burst of donations when she entered the race in July and raised $81 million on the first day.”
