That man is not bankrupt or evading taxes. Which means that even if he was a crook, which he wasn't, he's good at that. It's what you believed Trump was. Well, gosh...maybe someday Trump will finally be investigated by somebody. As for the Biden's "business" in Ukraine, given the way the Dems, MSM, and social media are losing their collective sh!t right now, I'd say there's a LOT more to their story than simply Hunter taking money. I'd wager the nature of their business has to do with trafficking in drugs, humans, or both. Good thing the Dems have Hillary warming up in the bullpen!

Yeah, only everyone sane knows by now that trumpers are constantly projecting their own behaviour on others. So when you spread slanderous conspiracies, sane people expect another proof of Trump's involvement in the exact schemes you're trying to pin on others. Human trafficking, you say? My god, is it that bad? Is it why Trump wished Maxwell well? Oh, my... thanks... you made me connect the dots. Is it what you really do, warn people about Trump's involvement in outright horrors on top of being financed by Russian regime, as one of his sons already said in public when he bragged about having influx of Russian investments so great they need no loans? In other words, my scorn for the mental abilities of the authors of the propaganda you spread cannot be expressed in words. I'm not saying it won't work on the cultists, they've left their brains in toilet anyway. But if only you could fathom how pathetic it seems to the not completely stupid people. 3 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He mocked Elizabeth Warren by calling her “Pocahontas”, which seems racist to me On Mexican immigrants: “They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” I'd consider those comments racially driven. Are Mexicans a 'race' ?

It worked with retrospective establishing the connection between primaries and elections, in sane conditions. But it's not just an election this time, it's referendum on irrational stupidity. And racism too. Oh come now, I think 'racism' is overplayed. It's true that one of the candidates has made racist comments, but I think that Joe Biden has recovered from that On 10/15/2020 at 9:21 AM, the13bats said: And this guy says biden will win ny landslide, MOST interesting.

Probably right. Regardless what you think of Trump (certainly plenty to think about), surely an actual turnip would at least stand a chance against Biden. The signs aren't good either way for the US in particular or the world in general. How far has US politics fallen? The sun is indeed setting on the west.

Quote During Mr Obama's eight years in office, 1,878 drone strikes were carried out, according to researchers. Since Mr Trump was elected in 2016, there have been 2,243 drone strikes. The Republican president has also made some of the operations, the ones outside of war zones, more secretive. As a result, things have different today: under Mr Trump, there are more drone strikes - and less transparency. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-47480207 1 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point still stands that in states Trump won by narrow margins the Republican party has registered between 2 to 3 times the new voters than Democrats have which should concern Democrats. 2 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it wasn't the landslide needed to make that bizarre electoral college match the actual will of the people.

In 2016, roughly 1/3 of eligible voters didn't vote. Higher turnout likely means lower percentage for Trump, because it's not likely someone who wasn't in his cult in 2016 has joined in the meantime, while those who weren't interested in voting have probably realized in the meantime that literally anyone is lesser evil compared to Trump. I've seen trumpers claiming they're lying in polls - there's only one explanation for such strange dishonesty - they're trying to make up an excuse for possible actual manipulations with votes. That's the only way for Trump to "win". (Such "elections" happen regularly in authoritarian regimes, there was a country in my neighbourhood that once re-elected their president with 104% of votes.
