TOUGH QUESTIONS, TOUGH QUESTIONING: SOME CAN HANDLE IT, SOME CAN’T
BY DAN VALENTI
PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY
(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, MONDAY OCT. 21, 2024) — Tough questions.
Can you handle them or not?
That’s the essential question for anyone seeking public office, from ward councilor to President of the United States.
As a moderator for countless interviews and debates, THE PLANET thought of candidates as job applicants. Interviews and debates were job interviews. We asked questions that Mary Jane and Joe Kapanski would ask if they had the chance but also wanted to see how applicants would react under pressure.
Some can handle a grilling. Some can’t (right, Pete White?)
J.D. Vance, whose journey on the national ticket should be titled A Star is Born, can handle it. Kamala Harris can’t.
Vance, who like Donald Trump has almost exclusively sat for “unfriendly” interviews with Mainstream Media that function as PR agencies for the radically liberal Democrat Party, took questions from ABC’s wrinkly has-been, Martha Raddatz.
———- ooo ———-
During the interview, Raddatz poo-poohed a violent takeover of Aurora, CO apartment complexes by gangs of violent, illegal, Venezuelan immigrants. She accused the Republican ticket of “grossly exaggerated” accounts of the gangs’ heinous actions.
“The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes,” Raddatz said.
Only a “handful.” Yeah, that’s what she said!
Vance immediately jumped on the opening, giving the line of the campaign that won’t be topped.
“Only, Martha?” Vance replied. “Do you hear yourself? Only a handful of apartment complexes were taken over by Venezuelan gangs, and Donald Trump is the problem, not Kamala Harris’ open border?”
Game. Set. Match.
Vance continued: “Americans are so fed up with what’s going on, and they have every right to be. I really find this exchange, Martha, interesting because you seem more focused [on] nitpicking everything Donald Trump has said rather than acknowledging that apartment complexes in the United States of America are being taken over by violent gangs. When you let people in by the millions — most of whom are non-vetted, most of them you don’t know who they really are — you’re going to have problems like this.”
Vance’s devastating retort demonstrated presence, leadership, confidence, quick wit, and the gravitas lacking in the lightweight Harris and her uncle running mate “Shotgun” Tim Walz. The loon and the buffoon.
———- ooo ———-
As another sign of desperation, Harris’ handlers made her sit down with Fox News anchor Bret Baier. The interview exposed what her backers feared and her opponents predicted: She can’t think on her feet and melts when the hot seat is turned on. It reminded THE PLANET of the state senate debate we held in center court at the Berkshire Mall, Terry Kinnas v. Kufflinks Kerwood for the GOP nomination.
We opened by asking Kerwood if he would back Kinnas should he lose. After The Wizard of Uhs kept dancing and dodging, we pinned him against the wall like a specimen insect.
Kufflinks folded faster than the King of Polka’s accordion.
That’s what Harris did with a PLANET-like Baier. She couldn’t handle chin music. Word salad? This was more like a bowlful of leftover mush.
She embarrassed herself, her campaign, and sent the pussy hats into spasms of panic.
With just over two weeks before the election, Kamala’s July sugar-high has worn off. The electorate has caught on. After playing the “black woman” card and losing, all she has is Donald Trump Donald Trump Donald Trump.
All this as the Trump-Vance ticket continues on a roll.
Anything can happen on Election Day, but it doesn’t look good for Kackling Kam and Shotgun Tim.

October 21, 2024
The Republican Party Members of U.S. Congress did not pass an immigration bill in 2024 because Donald Trump wanted it to fail for his own political gain. That will backfire on them. They are the Cult of Trump!
JD Vance years ago called Donald Trump “America’s HITLER”. Right there, Donald Trump showed failed leadership by choosing JD Vance as his running mate in 2024. Did he take the insult as a compliment? We live in The Twilight Zone!
Then there is Project 2025, which is a road-map to authoritarianism that would destroy democracy in the U.S.A. Everyone who is not wealthy and powerful will lose their voices to a system that worships a 78-year-old buffoon.
Kamala Harris will win on November 05th, 2024, because she has the women’s vote. No modern candidate for U.S. President has won without at somewhere around 50 percent or higher of the women’s vote. Trump has somewhere around 35 percent to 40 percent of the women’s vote. It is simple mathematics.
JD Vance calls women who never had children “MISERABLE CAT LADIES”. Donald Trump said on a hot mic that he likes to “grab women by their [genitals]”. They are the dumbest political candidates for the White House ever because they pick on women, as well as minorities, especially immigrants, who vote in elections.

“Why doesn’t the Democrat Party just throw in the towel…” because they are incurably mentally
ill.
And also because they hold a ket Trump card: It’s called cheating … fraud … ballot harvesting. That’s their only hope now. It won’t be enough this time. Plus, there’s a statistically significant number of Trump voters who won’t publicly admit it. When they get inside the voting booth, however, they can vote their preference. Trump 47. Get used to it, everybody.
Meanwhile, the democrats in GA and MI and PA are getting ready to print up as many ballots as they need to rob all those rational decision makers who vote Trump.
Fix was in before they kept RFK JR out, of the “democratic” primary.
Think the toilet they installed in place of Biden is any better?
I was so happy to hear that R7 (arse heaven) will not carry Trump merchandise but instead will stocked to the ceiling with Kamala Harris and Tim Walz stuff designed for the LGBTQ community for guys like us Jonny and your openly gay cuz Mayor Pete.
They carry men’s tampons too
Melle, that POS bill would have authorized 5000 new CRIMINAL ALIENS, per day, 65 days a year. That totals to > 1.8 MILLION NEW CRIMINALS.
Then they would: feed, house, educate them with US taxpayer money. They will come after your VA benefit monies soon.
Biden et al is already cutting SS benefits for AMERICAN Elderly starting right after the Selection. The Criminal Aliens are already getting more benefits than Elderly under SS.
365 days per year……
Good lord JM, what are you a 9 year boy, instead of a 49-year-old whatever you identify as?
The immigration bill was a sh!tty piece of legislation. If not, why did the Border Patrol Union endorse Trump? They’ve lambasted Harris repeatedly, but keep drinking the MSM kool-aid. Trump is bad! Trump is bad! Trump is bad!
Maybe you’ll get lucky one day and 5,000 illegal alien Haitians will get dumped in your hometown. You’ll be out walking Chocolate, get beat up and robbed of him, and later find the illegals in the town park eating Chocolate with vanilla ice cream.
I’ve posted links showing Vance stated, “I was wrong for calling President Trump that. I bought into THE LIES MAINSTREAM MEDIA WAS PUSHING.” Quote, unquote, JD Vance.
The same with Project 2025. I’ve posted numerous links on this too. It’s 2024’s version of the “Steele Dossier.” Only liberal, brainwa$hed, a$$hole$, still try and push this DEBUNKED, FAKE, NARRATIVE.
Locker room guy talk and calling weird cat ladies, weird-basically calling a spade a spade, triggers you JM? I refer back to my first paragraph.
By the theme of your posts, it seems you grew up in the wrong era. Had you been a young JM today, you could have been happily in a Girl Scout troop, instead of a Boy Scout troop, selling GS cookies and chatting about a woman’s right to killing a bab…..I mean abortion, in between cookie customers.
Oh well, I wanted to grab Dolly Parton by her [mammilla]….oops, sorry. I didn’t mean to trigger you JM.
Trump/Vance 2024
You have dame bramage
You give an awful lot of power and credit to a man who was not holding a public office when the vote for the immigration bill was brought forward. Also that was at a time where many republicans were not openly backing Trump. When you give him this kind of power and do not Blame the people who actually made the votes you fall in line with the far left thinking. Never blame the actual person who did the crime(vote), it must be caused by someone or something else. Limit what can be attracted to any bill and have more votes about specific items and many more of the core issues will be addressed. The devil
Is always in the details and the fluff attachments combined with the main focus of the bills can cause it to
Get cloudy and give people an out as to why they voted the way they did.
Your remark is strong. But I point out, as did MT, that the bill was a bill to give permanent legal status to everyone in advance of arrival. It was designed to facilitate admission through the border crossings, not limit access.
You consume fake news more often than Pete White consumes free food.
Many years ago someone (a liberal) wrote a book on all of “W’s” Bushisms. You remember how he used to try and be folksy with his speech. I think someone should write a book on plagiarism Kamal and all her word salads because ya know she fell off the coconut tree and ended up in a middle class neighborhood
Donald Trump worked at McDonalds yesterday, but Kamala just lies about working for the company. Trying to convince suburban women to vote for Trump is a big issue. They think he is rough around the edges so would rather vote for a “knucklehead” like Tim Walz and fuzzy thinking Kamala Harris. The “Nightmare Before Christmas” describes them perfectly. Suburban women will look the other way as neighborhoods are destroyed by illegal immigrants because their neighborhoods remain quiet and safe. It’s not until the problems begin in their upper class neighborhoods that these women will see the error of their ways, but sadly for America, it will be too late by that time to save our country.
Pete While drove down to chisel a free Big Mac
Looked like he eats there also.
For me, it’s either Mikkidees or Wendis! Both are absolutely perfect!
Mr. /Mrs. Hall; grooming is not actually even a legitimate legal term. Contextually you need to apply the llegal term “coercion” here, which IS a legal term. There’s an element of coersicion in the case involving the teacher who got away on a technicality. The DA is disregarding the timeline they started dating in 1991, when she was 14. She was the babysitter to his 1 year old child during his divorce. They eventually got married after 7 years (in 1998). Age 14-21 she was dependent upon him by way of deprivation of autonomy. Learned helplessness and not knowing important lifeskills. Which also enhances the change, which also eliminates the statute of limitations all together.
According to Black’s Law Dictionary, coercion is defined as “compel by force or threat”. Coercion is a situation where someone is forced to act against their will through intimidation or threats. For example, if a bully threatens to beat up a student if they don’t copy their homework, the student is being coerced.
Coercion is often used interchangeably with the term “duress”. Duress is defined as any unlawful threat or coercion used to induce someone to act in a way they otherwise would not.
Coercion and duress are not a justification for committing a crime, but they can be used as an excuse if the defendant was acting under the threat of physical force.
Black’s Law “grooming” – dress code.
Go back to Havard Yard.
Maybe, sometimes, a very bad deed breeches our moral sense but does not break the law.
Both from a legal and moral standpoint, trafficking minors is among the most serious forms of criminal behavior, and its prevention and prosecution are prioritized by (most) law enforcement agencies worldwide.
A sole immoral Deed v. 12 years of stripping someone bare.
from age 14. ( finished 8th grade).
Depends on which law is applied. And who’s on the finance committee etc.
Imagine if theres more than one law to choose from, varying statutes of limitations And if the statute of limitations deadline was missed or denied. But, for certain, certain moral breech’s are so severe that there is not a limitation whatsoever.
The fact that the Democrats/Liberals/Leftists Selected a weak incompetent candidate , Harris, as their nominee, suggests that the election fraud they perpetrated in 2020 and 2022, will be minuscule in comparison for what they ALREADY HAVE GOING ON this fall.
PV:
The electorate has caught on. After playing the “black woman” card and losing,
OP:
If you can speak victim with a blackcent, the identity hustle will get you some metoo money. Ain’t working out so well this time around.
The day I tried to live.
Keeping with this same subject, myself and Ox, had a discussion about this too over the weekend’s blog.
In a reply to me, he stated that Kamala Harris’ speeches were “inspirational” to himself and the younger generation. He never posted any of these silver-tongued speeches, so I took the time to try and locate one.
Without further ado, Ox, is this one of those “inspirational speeches” you were talking about?
johnny maga on X: “The word salads are getting worse. “We as representing the United States of America walk into rooms around the world with the earned and self appointed authority to talk about the importance of democracy, rule of law and have been thought of as a role model and perfect though https://t.co/18fvvOZ02R” / X
My original answer, Markus, contained my suggestion that you can look at Harris’ speech accepting the democratic nomination as an example of an inspirational speech, in my view.
Kamala is the Queen of plagiarism! Not so inspirational!

Lumpy Marchetti is interviewing 0basohon. This should be a good lesson on flushing good money down the toilet. Tune in to PCTV at 5:30 pm Monday.
What would two commies have to say to each other?
They could exchange ideas for heaven on earth.
You mean, you know, like Tiffany?!
I think dad means, like, “those two commies” not just any two commies.
Will they discuss Victoria May’s sex discrimination federal case that names….?
It’s nice to get out of Berkshire County and all the Marxist Communist. There is a world out there (not in MA) where peopel debate ideas in measured tones without hysterical emotions. The debaters realize the other person may think differently and though they each try to change the others point of view the debate is where you can tease out points to challenge the others thoughts. Unfortunately here in the Berkshires and MA if you are not a communist “democrat” you are ignored, ridiculed or assaulted with the courts turning a blind eye. Just look at the hay bales in Dalton verses the Trump sign burned on a tree in South County from last election
It won’t change until citizens storm Beacon Hill with tar and feathers, and put those inside, in gallows outside.
