    So Trump says he didnt have a mini-stroke. That seems a very specific denial . Pence was asked if he was put on standby and he said he didn't remember. how could you not remember something like that. all very odd

    Trump brought the mini-stroke into it himself on Twitter yesterday. Very specific denial indeed especially when you consider the CNN article he quoted in his tweet made absolutely no mention of a stroke, mini or otherwise. The fact he was given the cognitive test that he bragged about would make sense also in that context.

    Republicans are demanding soup restrictions be brought in. Minestrone soup in particular....lethal.

    Good move by the Biden campaign to go to Kenosha especially to have a community meeting to contrast with Trump's visit yesterday.

    I think I speak for us all in hoping that Biden has a safe visit.

    Hopefully he'll bring a few cans of soup with him just in case things get out of hand and he needs to defend himself.

    he certainly won't need to teargas people so he can walk down the street safely.

    Thought biden came across well today and his comments about vast majority of police being decent and condemning looters and violent protesters will work very well as that what most moderates and soft republicans believe, none of this ridiculous defund the police rhetoric.

    In fairness to Biden he has never said he wants to defund the police. It's just another Trumpist smear that he does.

    yeah i agree but people will believe he does as the call from progressive democrats have gotten pretty loud so by praising the police it helps.

    The ironic thing about the whole soup thing is that when Trump went to Puerto Rico, he through paper towels at people whose infrastructure had been destroyed. They'd probably have been happier if he had thrown soup at them.

    The paper towels are probably related to why former staff members of his have said he wanted to trade PR for Greenland - he considers Puerto Ricans "poor and dirty." https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-trade-puerto-rico-greenland-dirty-poor-a9679346.html%3famp

    The Congressional Budget Office projects the federal deficit will reach $3.3 trillion in 2020 under Trump’s mismanagement.

    The federal deficit was $597 billion in 2016.

    Tis going well.

    The deficit has grown significantly since Trump took office even before Covid running at $1tn in 2019 alone and now totalling $27tn, which is weird because the Republicans are the self appointed party of fiscal responsibility.

    If Biden wins, expect the Republicans to suddenly become very interested in budget deficits again like they were during the Obama administration.

    Especially considering Donald's proclivity for hiding in bunkers and running away from difficult questions, but at least that poster got to prove their loyalty again. So there's that.

    Painfully bad. It's great that they have so much time on their hands to be making these silly little videos, sure it's not like the country is going down the shiitter or anything. Oh.

    They can't talk about policies or plans because they have none so they needed to resort to these tactics.

    Getting the economy going at full speed again by creating more jobs should be the priority.

    It's very hard to listen to Biden's incoherent bullsh*t. It has to b3 elder abuse at this stage.
