The 2020 USA POTUS election politics, the civil war, and the world war (Part 1)

Who’s in favor of more looting? Maybe I didn’t watch enough of the DNC speeches (Biden’s was pretty good), but I sure didn’t see anyone condemning looting. I would have hoped is that would be a pretty mainstream position.

Meanwhile, the political ads just write themselves

I wasn’t even talking about their imagination. I was talking about their tone. I thought It was bad in 2015/16 when they first started talking about impeachment before he took office. But they kept finding deeper rocks to slither under and pull mud from, and as it failed to have any effect, the loonies got loonier (Dems, not Canucks). It wouldn’t surprise me to read that someone says that Trump is the emperor in the Star Wars trilogy.

Bam!

You failed to mention that it’s all Trump’s fault and he should be impeached immediately after taking the oath in 2021.

I swear, it seems like the “hate Trump” movement has become almost as much of a religion as the “weather changes” kooks.

You’re mighty generous with taxpayers’ money. In that vain, I deserve a couple of million for having to wear an uncomfortable, unhealthy mask so that some dill-weed gets to feel powerful. :wink:

FBI Probing Biden’s head for … anything. :wink:

Crazy like a fox. He’s got liberals’ blood pressure higher than anytime in history. I would say since Gingrich, but they weren’t quite as full of themselves in the 90’s.

Uh, you might reform it by tearing it down and rebuilding it with less dependence on the things that got into it’s current situation. Oh wait, I forgot it’s all Trump’s fault. Consequently, if you want to save the planet, 'er children, wallaby’s, illegal immigrants, abortionists, LBGTETC, Jamaican-Indian slave-owner descendants, the USPS, and anyone else I’ve forgotten to micro-mini-maxi-aggress, hate Trump. :wink:

Currently, I don’t trust my search skills, but isn’t this the exact same lead that Hillary had in mid-August. In case you’ve forgotten, Hillary is the candidate that couldn’t ̶s̶t̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶u̶p̶ lose because she was so smart, ethical, and computer literate.

Yeah, I was hoping the Predictit site would have a bump for Biden so that I could lay some coin on Trump. Sadly, the President’s price is higher today than before DNC started their show. :unamused:

But did you see the former first lady threaten more, not necessarily looting, but violence of some sort. Before any flakes squeal, I will admit it was perceived / implied. But hey, it was a genuine micro-aggression to me. :wink:

That ad was pretty well done. The sync between video and narrative was spot on. The RNC may want to consider hiring him/her/them/it.

Here’s a follow up on the peaceful kick to the head. Apparently BLM rioters peacefully robbed someone and this guy was trying to help that victim. Then he got pulled out of his truck and beat down for being white. Clearly the rioters didn’t care he’d been marching in support of prior BLM protests, and I’m sure he’ll think twice before doing that again.

Haner suffered numerous injuries, including several broken ribs, a retina that may become detached, and lacerations on his head that required stitches.

On the bright side, the criminal turned himself in and is now in police custody. It seems that was not his only assault that night either.

No. Hillary never had such leads in the polls. Her lead fluctuated back and forth from 0.5% to near 8% and was ~4% at election day and ~4% at the end of August.

Biden’s, on the other hand, is incredibly stable (comparison) and has only grown since June. To around 9% now.

Biden to ABC news, “I don’t want to defund’ the police, but Trump does”.

What a bunch of hogwash! Maybe Biden will really foul up his base with this lie. Or even better, his bitter Liftie Democrat High Ups, will “burn & tar him” for that statement…

??? Biden has been consistent he does not want to defund the police. Trump repeating lies to you doesn’t change that.

You can’t find a direct quote or clip of him calling for defunding the police, or written policy statements of such.

Just like Trump can’t whenever he is called out for his blatant lies.

Fox News: “Biden has said repeatedly he doesn’t support defunding the police, he didn’t back the Green New Deal and refused to support Medicare for All”

Again from your Fox News,

Harris has similar policy to Biden on the matter:
" "I don’t want to defund police departments. I think they need more help, they need more assistance,” Biden told ABC News for a wide-ranging interview airing Sunday that also includes Biden’s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif.

Biden accused the president of proposing cuts to programs that support local police, in sharp contrast to the Republican incumbent’s campaign-trail rhetoric.

Harris also stressed that voters should watch the president’s actions rather than listen to his words.

“There is so much about what comes out of Donald Trump’s mouth that is designed to distract the American people from what he is doing,” Harris told ABC.
Instead of slashing funding, police departments should focus on forcing out officers who abuse their authority, the former vice president said."

Harris has good advice there. Pay attention to Trump’s actions rather than the word vomit. I’m sure you’ll continue sticking your fingers in your ears, though.

I just need to mention - I find it interesting that a lot of your anti-Trump articles are from the Guardian. A British-owned tabloid.

How dare the Brits try to influence our elections!

Wow!! That’s a mouthful.

Does Biden intend to forget his base? Last time I heard from Bernie, that whole statement was a complete lie. Or, another time when those questions were asked of the panel. Joe along with the rest of the mob “raised their hands” in compliance. Was he right then or his last statement. He can’t have it both ways.

I try to reference Fox News or The Guardian because I figured the Trump apologists will yell FAKE NEWS for any other more reputable US news organizations. Just like the current President does on twitter with a nearly unprecedented attack on the free press (Not unprecedented… it has happened before… but the people who did or currently do it are not a model to look towards).

I would hope foreign papers from allied countries would also provide a somewhat outside view, which theoretically could be less biased – or at the least be less divisively politically charged like so much is in the US now.

It’s campaign season, all politicians try to have it both ways. Dont tell me you actually believe campaign promises?

I think it’s been pretty clear that Biden is not a fringe lunatic. He’s far more old fashioned than this new “progressive” push.

Frankly, I’m more afraid of those who might ride Biden’s coattails into office, than Biden himself as President.

I’ve learned recently that Harris is somehow simultaneously too tough on crime and also a radical lefty who will completely dismantle the police. Not really sure how both of those things are supposed to be true at the same time…

More seriously and along the lines of your stated fear: Personally I don’t like where things are going if we shift from a somewhat two-party system to only one-party for a number of years. Which seems possible (I am not saying it WILL happen). Yes, if this happens I will blame the GOP for its own destruction and the after-effects of no checks on the remaining viable party.

Absolutely! When or if Biden get’s in, then the mob will take over.

Look at Biden, when he’s not locked to the teleprompter he is lost. He’s trying to grasp for words to complete his sentence. Watching, you almost feel sorry for him. Senility setting in.

Kind of reminds me of the poor soul in a home, when anyone can sign, direct or just take over.

Yes, just in from Bend3r. I believe Harris will start doing most of the political talk from here on.

Why not? I used to have the same opinion – there should be a balance between fiscal liberalism and conservatism. But neither party is fiscally conservative. And I don’t care for social conservatism – keep your grabby government fingers away from my p*ssy and my deeply held beliefs and disbeliefs (all hail pasta!).

The Chick’s in the Mail? Rural America Faces New Worries With Postal Crisis

https://news.yahoo.com/chicks-mail-rural-america-faces-141543289.html

“This is an attack on a tried-and-true service that rural America depends on,” said Chris Gibbs, a farmer in western Ohio who voted for Trump in 2016, but this year started an advocacy group arguing that the president has failed rural America. “It pulls one more piece of stability, predictability and reliability from rural America. People don’t like that.”

Across the country, rural residents already have been affected in several ways.

Checks and plant shipments are delayed, and tracking them down can take hours in rural towns without quick, reliable internet. Replacement parts for farm machines are late in coming. Prescription refills are taking a week or more to reach mailboxes, a particular threat because rural communities are older than most of America.

On Native American reservations, among the country’s most remote places, families are driving five hours to get medicine and worry about being disenfranchised in November.

Then there are the chicks.

For decades, postal carriers have delivered day-old chicks, ducklings and all manner of plants and animals to small farmers and families with backyard hen houses. Industrial-scale farms have enough money to truck around their own animals or operate sprawling hatcheries. For everyone else, the mail is how the chickens come home to roost.

Some chicks are getting lost in postal warehouses or spending days on trucks, farmers said. Others are getting smothered or crushed in the deluge of boxes created by America’s coronavirus-induced online ordering. One hatchery in Pennsylvania lost 3,000 chicks in a recent shipment.

“We just don’t have any other options,” Hampson said. “There’s nothing sadder than seeing a box of tiny little fuzzy peeps and all of them are DOA.”

Farmers said they were so afraid of losing more chicks in transit that they were driving hundreds of miles to pick up shipments from hatcheries. Hampson’s parents and in-laws Pony Expressed their way across Pennsylvania and New England to bring 15 boxes of just-hatched turkey poults to their farm.

Other farms are telling customers not to expect products to come quickly. In Beech Island, South Carolina, Jenks Farmer, who ships 2-pound lily bulbs across the country, has been getting bombarded with calls from anxious customers whose flowers had not arrived. He shipped one bulb to a customer in North Carolina, and a week later, the package was still stuck in Shreveport, Louisiana.

“My business isn’t political, but it depends on the economy and political leadership,” Farmer said. “I don’t have a leader who’s doing anything to help my businesses thrive.”

Rural post offices have struggled for years with staffing shortages and high turnover, and rural carriers say their days can be long and perilous if they get stuck in a blizzard on some remote county road. Unlike their city counterparts, rural carriers said they do not generally earn overtime, so when the mail is heavy or weather is bad, they say they work extra for free."

Apparently the mob disagrees with your assessment.

Again, Biden has nearly a 50 year career in politics - and there’s a reason for that. He’s not just the flavor of the day, he’s far more mainstream. I think he’s more inclined to side with moderate Republicans than with the far left, or at least try to straddle the line. He’s not going to be out there rooting for the rioters.

Maybe the argument isn’t so clear cut?

To be clear, I think this is way too strategic and calculated for him. But might the big objections to mail in voting be intended to get Democrats to go all-in on mailing ballots? Knowing that they’re the ones who will be most harmed, from rejected ballots that would’ve been Biden votes if cast in person?

This article also highlights a lot of the issues that are often glossed over. It’s not just about voting by mail, the objections are also about Democrat attempts (going as far as filing lawsuits) to relax the rules and criteria for mailed ballots, giving voters a “do-over” when they can’t follow instructions the first time, etc, etc. As Trump has said himself, the absentee ballot process is tried and true - and what the Democrats want is not that process.
