But is one thing that the campaign managers of kamala do not talk, they will not bring the border security, the reason they do not is because democrats with her will keep the border open if she win the elections.
More criminals more drugs, sex child traffickers and gangs will come to America.

Who exactly are these normal people you mention?
I was referring to just everyday Americans… particularly the ones who don’t walk around wearing a MAGA hat for a start.
Normal everyday Americans are out there in MAGA hats. How often do you get out?
He's in Australia, consequently he has no clue whatsoever about what's happening here despite his comical overconfidence.

It gets even crazier because they knew what they were doing….
NBC knew full well that it would be breaking at least two laws by interfering in the election in this way, and it did so anyway.
It's not just Harris. It's also
@timKaine
who could lose to
@HungCao_VA
NBC constructed a sketch literally aimed at increasing Kaine's name recognition.
SNL could thus tip two elections.
People may not appreciate the significance of SNL. It has a huge young male audience — exactly the audience Harris and Kaine need.
By giving the FCC and Congress so little time before the election, NBC calculated that it could get away with, at most, a fine.
NBC's top lawyer, Kim Harris, worked for Obama and is thick as thieves with Biden admin and DNC.

Lorne Michaels, the famous SNL producer, said it was against the rules back on October 1st in a Hollywood reporter interview reported by the Independent here….
www.independent.co.uk...
“You can’t bring the actual people who are running on because of election laws and the equal time provisions,” executive producer Lorne Michaels told The Hollywood Reporter.
“You can’t have the main candidates without having all the candidates, and there are lots of minor candidates that are only on the ballot in, like, three states and that becomes really complicated.”
They knew what they were doing and did it anyway.
In his tweet thread, Brendan pointed to Trump's appearance on SNL before the election, claiming that "NBC stations publicly filed Equal Opportunity notices to ensure that all other qualifying candidates could obtain Equal Time if they sought it." "
"Equal opportunities generally means providing comparable time and placement to opposing candidates; it does not require a station to provide opposing candidates with programs identical to the initiating candidate," the agency's official site states.
So, someone's in trouble here, right? Well, not quite. In a statement to the Hollywood Reporter, the FCC reportedly claimed that Brendan's statement does not reflect their views on the appearance.
The agency added that they had “not made any determination regarding political programming rules, nor have we received a complaint from any interested parties.”
The executive producer of “SNL,” Lorne Michaels, had said in a past interview that neither Harris nor Trump would make appearances on his show during this election cycle.
“You can’t bring the actual people who are running on because of election laws and the equal time provisions,” he said to The Hollywood Reporter two months ago. “You can’t have the main candidates without having all the candidates, and there are lots of minor candidates that are only on the ballot in, like, three states, and that becomes really complicated.”

NBC aired a video message from candidate Donald Trump today.
See: thehill.com...
Apparently, they decided it wasn't smart to screw over the next U.S. President?
The FCC rules do not require that a network seek out opposing campaigns to offer the time. The rival candidates have to request it. A Trump campaign spokesperson did not return a request for comment.
Stations do not have to give opposing candidates identical time, just comparable time. After Trump hosted SNL in 2015, some of his GOP primary rivals were given airtime not on the show, but in a similar time period on stations with upcoming primaries.
Reed Hundt, a former FCC chairman, wrote on X that Carr is “wrong” that SNL was engaged in an effort to evade the rule. “He’s clearly and blatantly trying to help the Trump campaign. That’s also wrong,” Hundt wrote.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Are you sure that didn’t come from Willie Brown?🤔
