    Don't know if this has already been posted but it's a great ad by the Trump campaign.

    That hasnt been posted although its content was predicted

    When pushing the idea that Joe Biden has dementia, longform video of him speaking does not aid that endeavour. That is instead achieved with short video clips, strung together to make it seem like his whole speeches are gaffe-fests, which Trump supporters lap up, because they are, in the main, in no way bothered to question what is being put in front of them.

    I have to ask, what happened in your life that makes you vulnerable to this sort of drivel? Did you even once stop and think about that video critically?

    Critical thinking doesn't come into it, it's a video that says Biden is reading off a teleprompter, doesn't matter that its snipped/cut/edited and manipulated to look like that.

    Their guy tweeted it so it must be true and nothing you can say will make them believe otherwise.

    True Trump Derangement Syndrome indeed.

    Trump once said he met with the President of the US Virgin Islands.

    That would be Trump meeting with himself

    Even more evidence that Trump does not care about anything other than himself and his re-election.
    The White House and the pharmaceutical industry were nearing a major deal to lower drug prices. Then the administration demanded that $100 cash cards be sent to millions of seniors before the election — and the industry balked.

    Trump wanted them to send out cards - "Trump cards" if you will just before the election.
    WASHINGTON — After months of heated accusations and painstaking negotiations, the White House and the pharmaceutical industry neared agreement late last month on a plan to make good on President Trump’s longstanding promise to lower drug prices.

    The drug companies would spend $150 billion to address out-of-pocket consumer costs and would even pick up the bulk of the co-payments that older Americans shoulder in Medicare’s prescription drug program.

    Then the agreement collapsed. The breaking point, according to four people familiar with the discussions: Mark Meadows, Mr. Trump’s chief of staff, insisted the drug makers pay for $100 cash cards that would be mailed to seniors before November — “Trump Cards,” some in the industry called them.

    Some of the drugmakers bridled at being party to what they feared would be seen as an 11th-hour political boost for Mr. Trump, the people familiar with the matter said.

    So - A really positive thing for drug prices , that got killed off because Trump wanted them to boost his election chances instead of doing something good for people (which would have boosted his election chances, but he's too vain and simpleminded to see that)

    Trump has been criticized in the past for selecting staff with dodgy backgrounds. Well it seems Joe has the same kinds of troubles... It turns out Jackie Singh (his cyber security guy) was a member of a racist/homophobic group known as "The Gay <N word> Association. He routinely spammed internet chat rooms with racist and homophobic content. Thoughts? IMHO, this guy should be removed from the Biden campaign with immediate effect.

    If its true he should be removed, do you think anyone will disagree around here?

    Well, Jackie Singh is a woman (not a "he"). And if this is true, get rid of her yeah.

    Do you agree that Trump has had a major vetting problem then, Kidchameleon?? With cabinet and national security appointees, and not just low level staffers? Since you've said these are the "same kind of troubles".

    Yes I agree, they both have major vetting problems. I cant even begin to imagine how difficult it is to manage (and vet) teams of these kinds of people. Their skill sets are very rare and then to make sure they have a clean background?? Not easy!

    Of course he should be removed.

    Must laugh at these desperate efforts to equivocate though. Biden has what amounts to a very nasty internet troll on his team who should of course be shown the door. Trump on the other hand has hired multiple staff who have been indicted and convicted of felonies and criminal activity in senior national security positions within his inner circle.

    A sh!t storm coming with the death of SCJ Ginsburg. From a few bits I've seen a place opened up in Obama's final months (march) and he got blocked by McConnell in the senate, not even a whole lot of time passed with the death of Ginsburg and McConnell saying that Donnie and himself will look to fill the roll asap. I believe this will tip the balance of SCOTUS to conservative?

    Her supposed (one of) her final wishes was that her place is left to the next president to fill.

    Her final wishes are not relevant, only in their use as leverage.

    Political party trying to advance their interpretation, hardly shocking.

    Play to win.

    No surprise that's what you pick up on.. totally pass over the plain hypocrisy of McConnell blocking Obama nominating someone yet it will be balls to the wall to get a new SCJ installed probably even after trump loses in the election.

    DO AS WE SAY, NOT AS WE DO!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,578 ✭✭✭✭briany


    What Trump said about blue states was disgraceful. Disgraceful because Trump is no longer (and almost never been) even pretending to be the president of all US citizens. He uses anything and everything, including something as grave as a pandemic, to further push his us vs. them tactics. Could you see him using that rhetoric for anything else? "Well, we're doing much better in tackling heart disease when you remove the red states of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas. Basically just all the red states."

    He can't even be subtle about it. He has to say they're blue states. He couldn't even make the inference by mentioning individual states by name and then play dumb. Honest to god, if a Democrat president was pulling the stuff Trump was, but going the other way, the militia groups over there would make Antifa look like a sideshow.

    The Republican stance in 2016 was that the American voters should have a say in the future direction of the supreme court in an election year hence they blocked Obama's nomination. That position is now gone out the window. The republicans are demonstrating the height of hypocrisy and that they have zero principles.

    With the world moving ever slightly left, the GOP could be digging themselves a hole that whilst might look good for a while could be the one they fall into. Ignoring things that aren’t rules but are conventions of sorts may work short term but once one side does this the other side is free to work away. That may reap in the long term what the sow in the short. Trump won’t care but the party should.

    Another day another bunch of lie from Trump

    This time about car plants and jobs in Michigan

    He's a pathological liar and the devotees in the crowd cheering as they get lied to. MAGA is a cult.

    $56M and counting since last night. Shattering record after record.

    Also the momentum building against Lindsey Graham right now... I am reasonably confident we will have seen the last of this eel in the Senate.

    I personally do not think that roe v wade or the 2nd amendment are in any way vulnerable to whoever is elected to the supreme court, theres no will for it.

    However many dem grifters keep saying roe v wade is on the table if donny gets back in, which is a lie, him responding in kind with the conservative bogeyman is standard electioneering and many presidents have done it before him


  • Registered Users Posts: 81,980 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    Roe can be whittled down by a court case though. An amendment to the constitution requires an overwhelming majority of support in Congress and support from the states to ratify. We couldn’t even get the ERA passed and he wants to scare plebs into thinking the 2nd amendment is so fragile. It’s pathetic really.

    But the Democrats would be hypotcrites if they condemn the Republicans for doing what they tried (and failed) to do?
