    Yawn another hatchet job on Trump by people trying to be accepted into the woke brigade. Never mind Bidens corruption going back decades and the fact that he’s in the pocket of Communist China.

    Which bit ? The bit of him ****ting his pants ? The drug abuse ? The corruption ?

    Which bits do you find unbelievable and which did you find plausible ?

    Most if not all of it from someones with first hand knowledge :D

    Donnie has conformed...

    Corruption, he is head and shoulders deep in it..

    I do not disagree with you. I'm sure his tax affairs may shed some light on this if they were made available that is


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 416 ✭✭vojiwox


    Trump is a snake oil salesman. He promises things he never delivers just like his tax returns - always coming soon.

    https://twitter.com/ProjectLincoln/status/1319656235981959169

    He's a con man.

    The "we've two plans" is comedic gold. Great comic timing! Would watch again. :D

    Just another hatchet job. I would rate this guys testimony a little bit higher if it wasn’t an election year when he comes out. You can be guaranteed he’s a lifelong democrat voter with only liberal woke people in his social circle though so I wouldn’t rate it anyway.

    Haha you should really watch it, if you did you would have seen the bit where he mentions he is a Republican voter and has been telling everyone since 2016 when Trump first decided to run as he felt people really needed to know what he was like behind closed doors.

    Also you haven't told me which parts you found questionable

    Nothing to do with tax returns.. his corruption is there in plain sight..

    Do you regards blue run states funding red run states as socialism?

    Blue states, they're able to fund and look after themselves versus red states totally beholden to the tax dollar of the fed..

    In my book, that is socialism.. the rich looking after the poor to help them get better..

    No I don't. I'd want to look into it but it's a form of redistribution of wealth between states, not socialism. If the US was socialist there'd be no reason for democratic socialists of america.

    But why should the likes of New York put in more money than they take out ?
    And why should some states be allowed to take out more then they put in ?
    Shouldn't they be forced to live within their means in a fully capitalist society ?

    Links are in my previous posts on thread, not too far back if you wanna have a look.

    Considering the wealth that has been gained even when a pandemic is on going, I think socialism needs to be enforced even more in the US.

    Just an idea!

    Also what about the stimulus checks, doesn't this seem a little bit of a socialist thing to do, to look after the people who really need it, but I am sure all those decrying it handed back their checks uncashed.

    Stimulus 2.0 can't happen because it helps the people and the economy too much in their times of need..

    Ask Mitch..

    Actually edit the above.. Mitch is okay with socialism for the corps, but the people? They can go fcuk themselves..

    Florida: Trump 49%, Biden 46%

    A new Rasmussen Reports telephone and online survey of Likely Voters in Florida finds Trump beating Biden 49% to 46%. Three percent (3%) like some other candidate, and another three percent (3%) are undecided. (

    Rasmussen polls typically show a bias towards Reps and 3% is within the margin of error. Im not saying DT wont win Florida

    Quell these interests... He literally increased these interests by way of tax cuts? They didn't benefit "middle income" earner's.. the wealthy, that is all Donnie cares about when in office, he only gives a sh!t about the people when seeking a vote..

    That's Donnie's game... It's plain to see.

    Oh dear...oh god...oh no, it's bad news I'm afraid....repeatedly calling Trump a white supremacist is backfiring if the latest approval ratings in the black community are anything to go by and if those black people turn out to vote, then, the Democratic Party are looking down the barrel of a very difficult future....if only they stopped assuming that black people all share the exact same outlook and think the same way they mightn't be in this predicament but that would mean having to assume that black people aren't stupid which is beyond the party leadership!!!

    Identity politics is a scourge, just look at the state of the Labour Party and the Lib Dems in the UK.

    I don't think the dems need to worry, Trump is a racist, and let's it slip quite often. Assuming group think isn't needed, but kudos on the feigned worry for the DNC.

    I do think it's funny that one of your reasons for supporting Trump is the things he's done for the black community, implying that you yourself approve of the resurgence of white supremacist groups in the era of Trump, as that's been the main thing he's done in that area (along with dying disproportionate to other ethnic groups due to his cack handed approach to Covid, 1000 deaths a day and idiot Trump calling for everything to reopen). You never got back about whether you think Trump is managing the virus well since he hosted a super spreader event in the white house, but I'm not surprised about that.

    In this closing stretch, based on the final debate US Conservatives (from browsing the Reddit forum) are now fairly optimistic that Trump now has the momentum to win. Biden's quip on the fate of the Oil industry has been a God's send.

    Trump is a busted flush. Out of his depth since day 1. He's a goner.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,951 ✭✭✭✭Tell me how


    Biden does not have what it takes or has he the energy to be the US President. The media can pretend all it likes but Trump's going to win this election.

    Do you think the increase in early voting numbers amongst this particular demographic is a good or a bad omen for Trump?

    Regardless of whatever party you support, I reckon it's a great thing that folks in that demographic are getting out and voting. With the absolute polar opposites that are apparent over the past 4 years and an overly small percentage of qualified voters having voted back in 2016 I think this shows that every age group is in play for this election.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,202 ✭✭✭✭ILoveYourVibes


    Its either going to be REALLY close or he will win. The electoral college system will help him.


    If its really close he will hang on for dear life. I think the GOP will help him ....his life is their life. And they are loving the facism.

    Oh absolutely. They have tied themselves to his Presidency so completely that if he losses it will hurt the GOP in a manner that hasn't happened for many many years. And if he does win the next four years, folks will need to deal with that. They will also need to deal with the further disintegration of the US and the position of the President and all that goes along with it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,442 ✭✭✭NSAman


    It wasn’t a pleasant day today, damp, cold and drizzling.

    Yet, there was a big queue outside the polling station where they take early votes.

    Honestly, it was all Trumpers. Hats, stupid jackets and flags... thought it all very strange.

    No reflection of America as a whole, but an indication to me that this is not over until the fat lady sings.

    That is going to happen whoever is president.

    Having one good man as president doesn't mean the rest of the country isn't regressing.

    Sounds like a general Irish weather day man. Good folks are getting out to vote though. The overall engagement in this voting cycle seems like it's going to be higher than it has been in some time.

    I get where you are coming from, but right now with all going on I reckon we could do with a bit of balance in the world. Biden may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it would be nice to not spend the next four years trying to figure out the direction the US is going to take from Twitter.

    Not questioning your support either way. I agree that this is a chance that President Trump will once again win.

    That's not to say they will win either the house or senate even if he does. The polls seem to show a pretty massive sweep to blue.

    If by chance, or through the courts he wins it back, I think the Democrats if they win the house and senate need to do the same as the GOP did to President Obama.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 111 ✭✭kerry_man15


    Biden is the most uninspiring candidate I've seen in my lifetime. Typical career politician who has achieved bugger all and now thinks he deserves to be president. Pretty appalling choice overall. Surely the Democrats could put forward a more energetic, charismatic candidate than this? If they had the result would be beyond doubt.

    I think a lot of folks would agree with some of what you are saying. But with all that has been going on, I don't believe that the democrats would be anywhere near the position they are with a more progressive candidate. I think right now a little stability is needed. And while Joe Biden may not be exciting, I think he may be the balance that is needed right now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 592 ✭✭✭one world order


    Doesn't matter who the democrats would have put forward, Trump would still win in a landslide.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 111 ✭✭kerry_man15


    I just don't think he will inspire the undecideds to vote for him or for people to get off the couch to go and vote. He is dull. Of course all the Trump haters will vote for him but it's more a vote against Trump than for Biden. They'd vote for whatever Democrat that was running. I'm just not sure Biden captures the imagination of the swing voters much. It really wouldn't surprise me if Biden loses this. He's been a bit media shy lately especially since the Hunter Biden story came out. If the mainstream media and social media giants weren't so anti-Trump and pro Biden I really don't think he'd be in the running at all.
