Donald Trump discussion Thread IX (threadbanned users listed in OP)

Your second proposition would have been manna from heaven for Trump all those 4 years ago when he originally disputed who actually won the presidency; the GOP could have had a field day in court "Chief Justice, it was the doctors, they hid the truth, even when you were swearing Joe into office".

Ref your question, Compromised: NO. I think that Joe, along with having the strain of the tasks and duties of the presidency to perform and make decisions on - "the buck stops here" - also has the cares of a father for a son facing trial for unlawful possession of firearms charges and drug use on his shoulders. Like Trump, he's not a quitter.

There is a difference in their character and that is that I see in Biden the character I've outlined above, some-one with acumen I'd imagine I could buy a car from with a degree of faith in the warranty and life of the car. I've have absolutely no such faith in the business attitude of Trump. I'd expect him to try sell me a ten year old model of a Fiat Uno when I'd expressed an interest in a 6-month old Mercedes and laid the cash out on the counter-top to buy the Mercedes.

Biden has been around the US political scene with a known way amongst his compatriots in both parties over the years on the craft of political deal-making.

Trump is the complete opposite, brash, cold and totally demanding of loyalty from anyone he meets in the US. I see him as a malign influence on the US. Every other political or official person who've had the duty of dealing with Trump since 2014 has been labelled by Trump as crooked or disloyal or both publicly and privately. He probably has the honour of having fired more senior federal administration officers than any other US President in his 4 years in the job. That tallies in with his boasting that he's done more than any other president much better and more often: MAGA.

The question remaining for the US voters in the presidential-race in Nov is: which candidate would you trust enough to buy into what he's saying?

Re Joe's death, really - Has no one told him?

Coincidentally, more than half of Democrat registered voters think Trump should step down as well.

Trump destroys Biden, this is 2016 all over again and the big orange rapist felon will be back in the white house. Dems only have themselves to blame. Biden was terrible. It's over.

It's obvious, now that CNN has [presumably] done an autopsy on it's running of the first debate, that tall high-backed chairs should be a MUST for the two elderly men concerned, if the other debates are to go ahead. I don't know if tele-prompters will be allowed back so that the debaters can keep to their own scripts and still be challenged by the O/P when his turn comes.

I'd be surprised if there is no fallback position for CNN to cover the next two debates. The secret to success is already there as CNN have preventive measures [time slots and cut-off switches] in place to stop unscheduled interruptions by either side.

On the Biden family front, there might be a piece of good news coming their way. It concerns Hunter Bidens conviction on drugs charges and the legal bind he is in for possessing firearms while so convicted.

On Tuesday, the SCOTUS justices asked the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to look again at the recent ruling in US v Daniels, the SCOTUS decision which overturned a conviction on drug users owning guns. Hunter Biden’s defense attorneys cited the ruling in their appeal to his case, where he was found guilty last month of buying a gun while addicted to crack cocaine. Last year, the Fifth Circuit reversed the conviction of a Mississippi man who owned two guns while using marijuana, saying US history and tradition “does not justify disarming a sober citizen based exclusively on his past drug usage.” Should the lower federal court uphold its ruling, it could be useful for Biden’s appeal.

The report in the 2nd para above is in The Independent and on MSN.

…should encourage his base out to vote on the day…..
