    If Trump had a success do you honestly think it would be reported honestly?
    No, it would probably be attributed to either (a) someone who is not Trump but part of the administration to avoid praising Trump or (b) to the prior Democrat administration

    Yeah how many times have the media said 'well Trump seemed very presidential there'

    The media want Trump to succeed, he is their meal ticket, the problem its a crisis after crisis in the White House.

    If any previous President was found to be using tax-payer money for a lawsuit against him that would be headline news for six months and the opposition would be calling for his removal, Donald Trump its news for a few hours then something bigger breaks.

    Think about the fact that every single head of Trumps campaign team in 2016 will end up in prison yet its barely acknowledged. Can you imagine if that was Obama or Hilary...




    This is the most funny thing I've read to date.
    I'm not sure if it's detachment from reality or wilful delusion/ignorance.

    Sure I suppose if Trump can blame every single thing on Clinton or Obama, it makes sense for praise to go the other way as well. All's fair in love and politics!

    I still feel it ll be extremely close, never underestimate the donald, his voters, and most importantly, the deep pockets of the republicans

    yeah it will be closer than the polls suggest but its interesting at this point that Biden is out fundraising Trump. I can only imagine the shakedowns the Trump campaign is putting several billionaires through right now to level up the playing field. Eric and Don Jnr will be reminding them about those tax breaks for the billionaire class and telling them its time to pay up.

    Also on the Dems side Mike Bloomberg has been donating but he is not yet at the scorched earth level he is capable of. Its said he is prepared to donate up to a billion if he feels it is needed in a tight race.

    Also important to note that today is 9/11 and that was his 1st tweet of the day , sent an hour or so before he sent his "memorial" tweets.

    So - That tweet was the one he wrote himself , that he felt was the most important thought of the day.

    The memorial tweets were Press Office specials sent later.

    He personally didn't think about it.

    Perhaps he considers the emergency services personal and office workers who died in the twin towers losers like those in the military,

    Biden is doing exceptionally well fro. Silicon valley tech company and entrepreneur support and fro. Wall Street, Biden was known as the Senator for MBNA in the 90s. His partnership on a bill excluding credit card debt from bankruptcy deals was one of the most aggressive favouritisms for finance in the 90s.

    They'll keep the funds coming in.

    BBC Newsnight decides to promote a story that 'puts it out there' that Trump's marriage to Melania is a 'transactional' one.


    Cool timing.

    1000 deaths out of a population of 330 million.

    Will Biden lead from the front or from his cellar ? I think Americans might like to know the answer to that.

    Yeah we had her assistant's book last week. This week we have Peter Strzok's one. They might be trying to get the bucks before the election. Less sales if he loses.

    1000 yesterday, 1000, the day before, 200,000 since the pandemic started, are these acceptable numbers to you? Are any of them your mother/father/brother/sister/son/daughter?

    Seeing as Trump was able to find his way out of the bunker he was" inspecting" , biden will do just fine.

    A day.
    Projections of 400 thousand by the end of the year.
    What percentage of the population is that?

    Biden " so is my son "

    Was he trying to imply his son was killed in a war he voted for ? Surely not

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojkCKPtcJ54


    His son sadly died of a brain tumour.

    Poor mask etiquette right there.

    At least he is wearing one.

    Trump starts no wars, wants to get US troops home ---- orange man bad

    Biden votes for Illegal wars ---- left silent

    Defeats Hillary who is a warmongering hark.


    A lot of folks here have TDS.

    This election is not a referendum on wars. Congress (lawmakers) voting for Iraq/Afghan use of force makes it illegal... how? I don't like AUMF, at all, but it is constitutional.

    You'd think someone like that would be able to get decent masks like FFP3 instead of cheap cloth ones.

    Cloth ones, especially of 2+ layers, are virtually as effective at arresting the problematic moisture and are reusable.

    And wear it properly. Or not keep touching it.

    But still poor etiquette

    It wouldn't be the outside of the mask you'd worry about. And the wearer would not worry about potentially infecting themselves, the mask arrests asymptomatic spread to others.
    But still poor etiquette

    It's not losing him many votes :rolleyes:
