Instead of lying and cheating and stealing, maybe the GOP could, you know, come up with some policies that actually appeal to people. Just a thought... Lying and cheating and stealing is a lot easier tho

Look, I'm not justifying the Trump supporters here. Prosecute the ones behaving illegally to the full extent of the law. But you can't say that this is any better. I see a lot more anarchy in these people accosting a man simply trying to get away (there's video of that bit, in which he was driving as carefully as he could to get the hell out), though I can't find it right now) and then beating him nearly to death. I think both Trump and Biden are the scum of the earth. I just insist on the evil being called out on all sides.

I think both Trump and Biden are the scum of the earth. I just insist on the evil being called out on all sides. That video is very disturbing but it's also specific to BLM protesters and only two or three persistently violent individuals in that group. This kind of thing has happened before and the majority of the protesters protected the person being attacked. More importantly, this video DOES NOT show Biden supporters harassing, endangering and deliberately trying to terrorize voters and Trump supporters, and that should be the conversation because right now you have one side (ironically the law & order crowd) deliberately trying to interfere in the democratic process through force. Show me the convoys of Biden supporters harassing Trump's campaign or showing up to polls with guns or making direct threats of violence to voters (or trying to throw out 130K legitimate votes) and then we'll have something to talk about. You can't just point to a bad thing in a completely different context and say "but this is bad too!" We know. And by the way Biden has consistently disavowed this kind of violence.

The best thing that can happen for the country and our collective mental health - if Biden is to win anyway - is that he wins Florida outright and that closes the door on things.....if Trump wins Florida and Pennsylvania is "up in the air"/the deciding state ..........that's riots everywhere this week I'm afraid....

We’re in the final stretch boys and girls.....how are you guys feeling in anticipation for tomorrow? I think the best description for my current mood is Oh and Bunker Boy is getting his cronies to build a huge scale wall around the entire White House as we speak because.....you know....cowardice and stuff.

Honestly, can anybody argue that Trump’s re-election campaign isn’t the worst presidential campaign of all time? He literally has not specified one thing he’ll actually work on if re-elected. I’ve never seen a candidate that does nothing but dog whistle for his own insane base. He keeps trying to say “the greatest economy ever” but it’s not any more, and even then, it was only nominally better than Obama’s. He rants about the “radical left” even though his own supporters do more acts of terrorism than anybody on the left ever has. He refuses to reveal his healthcare plan because he doesn’t have one and he just acts like a victim every time somebody expects him to talk seriously about policy. It’s honestly fucking insane.

It's remarkable how much he's screwed up his reelection prospects by basically alienating everybody who isn't a true believer. The fact that he has the worst standing for an incumbent president since 1980, says a fucking lot.

one last post in this thread and then that's it, I promise! re: the 127K votes in Harris County Texas. Big news, the GOP effort to get those votes thrown out was definitively defeated in the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. That's three defeats in three days for those counting: Texas supreme court, federal court under Andrew Hanen, and now the New Orleans appeals court on election day. The votes are safe!

Joe Biden's campaign said Tuesday that it believes it has at least an 8-point advantage in battleground states after analyzing the nearly 100 million ballots that were cast early. The campaign is arguing that it will be mathematically difficult for President Trump to close the gap with in-person voting on Election Day, and it's working to create the impression that a Biden victory is most likely.www.axios.com/joe-biden-campaign-battleground-state-lead-55cd1298-3aab-4a11-8fd5-5efafc8b3220.html

His website mentions term limits on congress, and that is a huge deal for me. The guy never mentions it though, so it's probably an empty promise. Besides, he'd have to get congress to agree.

Anyone that bets 5.000 on anything, for whatever reason, is an idiot. Likewise, anyone that lies about doing it. I agree with you. You gotta bet big to win big though! Yeah, looks like there's 5k you are never getting back, mate.

I’ve just placed a 5.000€ bet on Trump winning. That’s how confident I am that be Trump president again.

I thought this was a thread on the possibility of Trump running again in 2024. I’m not sure he will. Part of me thinks he will because he loves stroking his ego, but part of me thinks he’ll make noise that he might so he gets the attention but will be too lazy golfing and doing his Fox News commentary or perhaps his own network thing that he won’t.
Plus he’ll be four years older then, and to me he already seems to have his senile moments, so I’m not sure what will happen in four years time.
I’m sure his family will try to run, but thank goodness they just don’t have whatever appeal that Trump has with his supporters.
Sadly if the Dems don’t pick up those Georgia seats which they probably won’t, I’m not sure that Biden’s chances are going to be that great in four years especially with Covid-19 still raging, but for now I’m going to enjoy this moment and worry about all of that later.

I'm a bit more optimistic about the senate without Trump in the white house and GOP senators having to kiss his ring. Romney, Murkowski, and Collins are always potential flip votes.
