    Bull. Trump interrupted him at every turn. Biden was fine. They're going to mute his mic when its not his turn to speak next debate, as I thought. Trump has no clue how to debate. His campaign agreed to two min uninterrupted answers and then, shocker of shockers, the liar in chief proved that a lie too. And not surprising, he lied at almost every turn too. Lied about mail in ballots being proved fraudulent, lied about ballots being found in creeks and rivers, lied about losing 30-40% of ballots in some elections, lied about the NY primary being evidence of voter fraud, claimed that all states that accept ballots postmarked by Election Day are Dems, (11/25 are GOP), making it seem like there is something political about that, he just lies over and over. This is Trump's MO: Lie, lie, lie, until people are so sick and tired of it they just let him say what he wants. Funny, I honestly thought Trump would kill him in the debates, but it was Biden who had the remembered quotes and who held his own as Trump acted like a five year old. "Will you just shut up, man?" Said what the entire country was thinking. You dont think Trump needs to denounce it out loud, not even after the moderator specifically asked him? Not even after he specifically told the Proud Boys to stand down and stand by? What the fuck, dude. It's absolutely a large problem, responsible for far more deaths and violence than Antifa or anything on the left. I don't think he's a white supremacist, persay, but I do think he doesn't want to turn them off voting for him.

    I agree with that 100%. The Dem party are morons. I hope Biden wins, but if he doesn't, yeah, let it all burn. Sick of this country. How can 40% of us be so fucking stupid as to support that conman?

    The Times has Trump's tax returns. Zero dollars paid in taxes in 10 out of 15 years, and $750 paid in 2016 and 2017. He also has 300 million in outstanding loans. As bad as that is, I don't see how its going to do anything. We all pretty much already knew Trump probably paid little to nothing, that's how rich people do it. And the Trumpers don't care. If Woodward didn't move the needle, they are beyond convincing. So I guess another day, another scandal? Really tired of this, tbh.

    Says the man posting facebook memes- about hospitals being incentivized to report COVID so we don't know the actual numbers- as if they're actual news. Look, I am not saying all 200k (so far) would have been avoided, I'm saying Trump's policies and lack of action have directly lead to the US "leading" the world in this thing. We have done studies on this. You can sit there and plug your ears and refuse to listen if you want. Here you go, 17-55k less deaths if we have a mask mandate in April and May. Note that this is only for April and May. And the way this thing works, if you keep it down it doesn't spread nearly as fast, because its exponential. So maybe that mandate saves 30k, and those 30k don't infect another 500k like they actually did. In the long run, Trump's actions absolutely could end up costing us that much.

    You implied it absolutely. Don't be disingenuous. It boils down to this: You'll get no argument from me that Biden isnt a great guy. It doesn't matter right now, to me. Biden is an idiot and a moderate, not a liberal, and not gonna help on a myriad of issues. He will help on COVID, climate change at least a bit, and possibly the SC. Trump is a threat to any progressive goals we have. He must be removed, period.

    What a lazy argument. So since Trump defenders always claim he's joking/taken out of context, I can never legitimately point out Biden is being taken out of context or joking otherwise I'm just like them? This would be valid if I never criticized Biden or said he said stupid things. Oh wait, I have. Multiple times. In this very thread. You're arguing disingenuously again. The guys laugh at his comment. This is clipped to show it in the worst way they can and it still comes off as a joke to the people listening. Trump's people do this all the time. How about when they clipped part of a Biden comment to claim he forgot the pledge of allegiance? Or when they literally photoshopped people out of a picture to make Biden look like he was trying to handshake thin air? Or when they did the same to a picture of Biden in his living room, making it seem like he was alone when there was 15 people in there? They do this intentionally so they can make the same argument you're making. "We intentionally lie and fraudently edit videos to make it seem like Biden is doing things he isn't, but you can't point that out or you're just like us when we claim Trump- entirely not taken out of context at all- is being framed." Fuck off. Like this? This is legit awful that he would say this. This makes me mad. Not some old video clipped to show something:

    As per usual, DJT posts more lies like the cult follower he is. A) This is from 2016 and B) he's making a joke about appointing the head of the academy which none of them liked, thus the laughter from the soldiers. I thought the right didnt like being people being offended on someone else's behalf?

    What im saying is that the idea there is some grand rebellion and multiple violent riots day in and day out is right-wing propaganda just like Fox News' scare tactics over Shariah law in PA awhile back. It's blatantly false reporting to scare old white people. Preferring Trump pick a SC justice to Biden is asinine if you're liberal, lol. One is staunchly conservative the other would be a question mark. The continued push by people to act like Biden is still going to put the same policies he wanted 20 years ago is disingenuous at best, and intentionally misleading at worst. As far as your second post about Dems being pussies: First of all I have blind loyalty to no one. My vote for Biden is an anti-Trump one. Trump is a direct threat to the United States and must be removed from office before we can do anything else. Biden is not a good candidate, but he isn't going to destroy our democracy, and I legitimately believe Trump could do so if given four more years. Secondly, I think you sorely underestimate the AOC wing of the party and the repercussions the GOP are going to face for ramming an SC justice through and proving how utterly hypocritical they are. If the other side won't play by the same rules they set, then its time to ditch the rules, and I do think the Dems are waking up to that. Expanding the SC is a legitimate option if the GOP steals (another) SC seat.

    How is this any different than just voting Biden in? Lets say you march on the Hill and stop working. What do you think happens? What are the demands? Your ideas always sound good in theory, but they are no basis in reality. You think thousands of Americans are going to just stop working and make no money?

    I am serious. If they toss mail in votes because they claim they are fraudulent with no proof, the system will have failed us and violence will be the last resort. There are plenty of eyes watching them. If they steal this election, we will know. I don't think they can do it without us knowing.
  11. Thanatos

    2020 Democratic Primary Race

    If they steal the election by declaring mail in ballots fraudulent when they are not, then our options will be exhausted and it will be time to break out the guillotines. Let's cross that bridge if we come to it and exhaust every other option first. Also governorship isn't mostly controlled by the GOP, not sure where you got that from. There's 26 GOP and 24 Democrats. As far as judges go, while Trump has appointed a lot for a first term, its not unprecedented. Carter appointed more and he lost to Reagan who immediately appointed almost twice as much. The GOP has sold their soul for the judges, I agree, but if Trump is limited to one term, so are the damages. We have Democrats actively talking about expanding the SC. Take back the White House and Senate, expand the Court to 15 and have Biden immediately appoint six to offset Trump and the utter hypocrisy of the GOP by replacing Ginsburg less than two months before the election even though Graham (and others) specifically said they would not do so in 2016.

    The average polling has been pretty consistently Biden by 9-10. My point with this though isnt that he's going to win 100% it was to counter Sean's argument that he has no chance which is ludicrous. He has a 70-75% chance atm. The both sides has to stop, and its frankly idiotic to suggest it at this point. One side is not great. One side is actively claiming that mail in ballots are rigged and lying 10 times a day to sow doubt about our election process. The idea that Portland is some hellhole is right wing propaganda. Once the secret police got the fuck out, its been largely peaceful. We've had enough of this bullshit. But I waste my breath clearly. If you're still picking Trump over Biden at this point, then as I said earlier, you are lost and there is no further point to debate. You've chosen Trump over your country. You just want to pick a contrary position because its all you ever do. The man knew COVID was five times deadlier than the flu and then came out and lied to us that it wasn't, downplaying it the whole time and costing us a ton of lives. I have zero respect for anyone who votes Trump at this point.

    If you sit there and dont vote when the literal democracy of this country is at stake, you're as bad as they are. Get out and fix this. Biden is bad. He's not a dictator. Trump gets four more years we might not have another fair election. Biden is up 9-10. He's up 4-5 in most of the swing states. This is not an inevitable Trump victory, its not even close.

    Guys I need some serious fucking advice

    I sat my fiancee down and told her the whole situation. She sat there and thought about it for a long time, and then she looked at me and said "Well when are you going to go get him?" I kinda laughed and she said Zack would haunt me from the afterlife if I didnt step in. I asked if she was sure, and she said we have the perfect situation here to try. So I guess we're doing this thing. I'll keep anyone interested updated in here.

    Man I wish I could downvote something twice. Don't post your facebook garbage in here like its a fact. That is absolutely 100% a lie. Please check your sources before posting bullshit. The idea that hospitals are incentivized to report COVID patients/deaths is pure and utter bullshit that was first claimed by Scott Jensen during an interview with Laura Ingraham. It's entirely incorrect. What happens is that if a Medicare or Medicaid patient checks in, the hospital reports it because the government helps cover them. This is true for ALL Medicare/Medicaid patients, COVID or not. After the CARES Act was passed, Medicare pays an additional 20% specifically to cover COVID patients, due to the extra cost of ventilators because we have a shortage. The idea that hospitals are getting some sort of financial windfall from this is pure nonsense, and the idea that we dont know the real numbers - and the implication they are lower than they are reported- is pure bullshit. There is literally zero evidence that it is being over-reported. In fact, given the fact that deaths over average consistently holds about 20% higher than COVID deaths, (almost 250k atm) it is far more likely that we are UNDER-reporting COVID deaths due to taking our time to confirm they did in fact die from COVID.

    ** THIS IS A RANT I AM SICK AND TIRED OF DEALING WITH BULLSHIT FROM THE FUCKING CULT 45 and Q ANON BULLSHIT AT WORK FEEL FREE TO SKIP ** Trump has now claimed Coronavirus deaths are low if you ignore blue states. Yet another lowpoint from the scumbag. First of all, its basically New York that's jacking up the blue states, and secondly, of the top 10 states in COVID deaths, its an even split 5-5 in terms of red vs blue. This is besides the fact that is the United States of America and not the Red States of America. Trump is a fucking moron that is actively getting people killed by feeding the conspiracy not to wear a mask. His entire admin are a bunch of crooks. Biden is an idiot that doesn't know what he's doing. It doesn't matter. Biden could be a pet rock for all I care. People acting like he has dementia can go fuck themselves, that's not dementia, he's just an old man. And any Trump supporter saying that Joe has dementia when Trump tries to argue shit like 1) The death rate per infection being low somehow means the US is doing better on the virus than "the world" 2) Claims a test for pyschosis a five year old could pass had really hard questions doesn't have a fucking leg to stand on. 3) Trump, who holds an indoor rally in Nevada where hardly anyone was wearing masks in direct violation of Nevada law that says you can only have 50 people in a room. 4) Trump, who writes love letters to Kim Jong Un. 5) Trump, who ADMITTED ON TAPE that COVID was five times deadlier than the flu in February and then went out and told people it was no big deal and the flu was worse. 6) Trump (well his entire fucking admin) who has done literal JACK SHIT to prepare us for fall when we re-open schools and now "SURPRISE FUCKERS* we're having to close again because you're super spreading COVID. 7) Trump's admin, who blocked a plan by the USPS to send five facemasks to every household in early April, because "it might cause a panic to send people masks." His admin is ACTIVELY KILLING AMERICANS with his idiocy and refusal to face reality. LOOK AT THIS FUCKING CLIP (i linked yall to the right timestamp): **hurr durr officer, i tested positive for COVID a week ago, so Im quarantining at my house and INVITED 30 OF MY FRIENDS OVER TO HAVE FUN** I've had it with people who support Trump at this point. Wear a goddamn fucking mask you pieces of shit. This isn't a fucking political matter. America has adopted the moronic strategy of "Cant have a second wave if you don't get over the first." ** END RANT **

    I think the level of violence depends on the results. Landslide either way- sure, what SteVo said. If its close and either side thinks the other has rigged it, (and lets be honest Trump is already claiming it will be rigged, he's going to stir his followers up if its close), I think we're going to see a big outbreak of violence. There's no way Trump is going to win the popular vote, IMO, but he could still win enough electoral votes that it wouldn't matter. Nightmare scenario is Trump is ahead on election night and declares victory and then Biden pulls ahead after all the mail-in ballots are counted, (which is a damn likely scenario, since Trump has convinced half his base COVID isn't dangerous, far more Dems will vote by mail in than GOP), and Trump cries foul. I'm not sure Trump would accept a SC decision that gave Biden the presidency- and for that matter, I am also not sure Biden would either the other way around, although Biden would have far less power to do anything.

    I dont understand why in the everliving fuck Trump gave him these interviews. Woodward has already written a book critical of the Trump administration. Why give him 18 MORE hours of content to bury you with? Makes no sense at all.

    2020 Democratic Primary Race

    Biden should blast this from the rooftops. Trump knew the virus was far worse than the flu back in January. Bob Woodward has him on tape admitting he knows that, admitting he downplayed the virus to not cause a panic, (actually not necessarily a bad idea, just went about horribly), right before he went out and told people it wasn't as bad as the flu. Woodward has the tapes. He also has 25 of the 27 letters from Kim Jong Un and Trump addressing each other, calling them "your excellency". Un says if they meet again it will be like a scene from a fantasy. This is not an anonymous anything, even though anonymous sources have been the backbone of journalism for ages. This is Trump, on tape, admitting things from his own mouth. I know his base won't care, they're in a cult. But this could seriously make a difference to anyone who somehow is still not sure. This is the whole article, there are three damning clips in here. I would pull them out here, (honestly don't like CNN all that much) but I'm not sure how to do that. https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/09/politics/bob-woodward-rage-book-trump-coronavirus/index.html

    Trump saying dead soldiers were losers, according to the Atlantic, WaPo, and Fox News, might actually hurt him. Military never liked him going after McCain, for starters, and him lying (again) claiming he never called McCain a loser when he literally still has the tweet up where he does just that is hilarious. Trump knows you can delete tweets, right? His followers calling everyone else snowflakes is hilarious when Trump is the biggest snowflake of them all. He didnt even want the USS John McCain visible at one event and they had to cover the name, lmao. He's such a fucking child, it still blows my mind that 35-40% of this country appear to back him at all costs.
  22. Kinda plays into their hands, I guess, since they were gonna fire him anyway.

  24. Zack needs to tell someone. For Brigg's own good. Too many careers were ended that way. This is a much darker turn here with this story, SteVo, not that that's a bad thing.
