"We're a dumping ground. We're like a -- we're like a garbage can for the world. That's what, that's what's happened to us. We're like a garbage can," Trump said at a rally in Tempe, Arizona, on Thursday.
...
"First time I've ever said 'garbage can,'" Trump said. "But you know what? It's a very accurate description."
In the final moments of her acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Vice President Kamala Harris said it was time “to fight for this country we love, to fight for the ideals we cherish, and to uphold the awesome responsibility that comes with the greatest privilege on Earth.” She then paused and said, “the privilege and pride of being an American.”
Good grief! How can Harris not get elected?
