I am hearing a lot of " Il est perdu" jokes, plays on Perdue's name.

The Indian American community is going hard tonight. I hope that same energy is saved for the ballot box.

That line a few weeks ago at the first debate where Biden defended Hunter despite his addictions as Trump attacked him hit very hard with parents and families, given the opioid crisis in this country. It was one of many moments that made that night a disaster for Trump. Rudy's latest attempt at a Hunter story also failed, but these details IMO may make it even worse for the Trump people.

Says a lot that they think that this story somehow reflects badly on Joe Biden.

 

In political news from my part of the world, the Nats (New Zealand's right wing party) are going down in flames in the election. Labour might win by a big enough margin to win the majority outright and avoid a cooperation government with the Greens.

To be fair, I think that tweet was being heavily sarcastic. At least, I hope so!

 

And I'm jealous that you live in an INTELLIGENT country. Jury's still out here...

[AdelaideCate007]

Oh I know the tweet was. I meant Giuliani, Trump, and whoever else is involved in the original story.

 

I'm actually in Australia and we sadly have out fair share of crazies in the government. Hoping the New Zealand wave moves over here and our right wingers get voted out asap.

The closer the election gets, the more the media fears losing their money train, and the more they are desperate to make the story all about themselves and about how special and brave they are. They hate us and they don't care if we drop dead. Expect a lot more of this:

Ice Cube in an attempt to be the so called representative for the black community by meeting with Trump ended up with egg on his face.

GOOD FOR JOE!

 

Seriously. He has tried to be gracious and nice. Yet the media wants to keep a smear job going. So take a page out of Don's playbook. If it's good for him, it should be fine for Joe.

He didn't even really insult the guy! Saying "I knew you would ask that question" is hardly some major attack. These folks are really grabbing for any straw, but it isn't going to work this time.

This may be the most batshit crazy thing I've heard this week.  I can't believe it's real. Sure, I knew JV was "off", but Holy $hit!!
