    Those are admirable goals. I hope to see them implemented.

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!

    laughing hysterically at the next hobbyhorse of the pearl clutching class.

    you'll get an awful shock when it dawns on you that all the problems in the world today predate and will postdate (?) Doland Drumpf

    So... according to you Republicans are evil? And people have the gall to claim those on the Right are the intolerable ones??? :confused:

    Are you asking me do I think some republican politicians are evil?
    That's an easy yes.

    Do you think Trump will win?

    For every member of the 'pearl clutching class', there's at least one 'bar stool expert' who thinks there is no point in talking about anything, yet can't stop getting involved in the conversation.

    If there's no point in wanting there to be a better world, why do you feel the need in discussing it?

    As of today... Yes I do, unless something completely unexpected come up between now and the election.

    And if he doesn’t win... Well, I plan on giving Biden the same level of respect and support that Trump received from the democrats and their media allies from day 1. Probably starting with a 3-year investigation and impeachment process for abuse of power regarding the Ukraine, initially, and if that doesn’t stick keep coming up new accusations to drag the process on indefinitely. Fair is fair, right? :rolleyes:

    I'm no expert, i just know hysteria and a moral panic when i see one.

    A Biden victory would at least give some perspective. The sun will rise and the world will turn. I'm sick of the endless whinging. Maybe its time for Joe to change the world.

    More than 4 years of investigations, actually. Investigations through most of his presidency.

    0 indictments though. Hmm.

    Wouldn't be like the diehard Rep's to abuse a democratic president for no reason. I mean the Trump fans were so respectful to Barack BEFORE the lord became president.


    Barack's birth cert was never "real" yet its disrespectful to ask to see Trumps tax returns.

    Big on respect the Trumpians!

    Trump has pulled out of the Paris Agreement, pulled out of Iran Nuclear deal, rolled back environmental protections in areas of the US, tried to role back opportunities for children who were born to illegal immigrants, mishandled the Covid-19 response strategy woefully and has provided half a trillion bail out to US Businesses with zero oversight.

    If you think discussing and disagreeing with the above is whinging, then it is because you are lucky enough to not be affected by any of these decisions, or don't have any empathy for those who have been.

    But it is certainly not because of any greater perspective or insight in to how the world works no matter how much you think it is.

    You choosing to ignore something is not the same as people telling you nothing.

    What do you think of the response from some corners after 4 Americans were killed in Benghazi versus the response from the same corners after 120K died from Covid-19?

    Mitch McConnell: The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.
    Never mind all the republican obstruction regarding Obama.
    Including the Birther movement, supported by Trump.
    Where was the respect and support?

    I know your modus operandi.
    It will be a diversion to something else.

    Thank goodness Trump acted early or the body count from the coronavirus, with origins in China, could have been 2 million, especially with idiot governors in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and others sending nursing home patients to their deaths.

    Something is really hokey will all these polls. A recent Zogby International of “likely voters” shows 55 percent believe Joe Biden is in the early stages of dementia. In other polls they find Biden leads Trump by as much as a 50-38 percent margin in the race for president. I know there is not a direct correlation between the two types of polls, but there is some correlation, nonetheless. If the majority of voters believe Biden is in the early states of dementia there is no way they’re going to vote him in as president.

    there are a number of polls that show biden with a significant lead. you say there is another poll that asks a very different question that casts doubts on the other polls. perhaps it is the poll you refer to that is wrong?

    Maybe, maybe not. You can't deny there is a lot of talk about Joe Biden having dementia. Google "Joe Biden dementia" and you'll see almost 8 millions results.

    certainly a lot of talk from you about it. From my own direct experience with dementia i dont see it. oddly you never seem to mention trumps cognitive decline. he looked like a broken man when he returned to the white house after his failed Tulsa rally.

    can't believe I am going to wade into such a s**t show as this thread, but to be honest, i think a lot of americans would vote for a can of spam over trump at the moment,



    whether or not biden is suffering from dementia, he is an elderly man, as such his choice of running mate could be key.


    That said, trump vs spam. SPAM 2020!

    So, it would now be fair game to sabotage Biden's rallies and events going forward?
