The Politics Thread

He would be smart to kill the debate - the media and rigged voting boards are already there to push him over the line, so no real need to rock the boat. Biden never should have agreed to a debate either.

Not enough. But ducking the debate would be suicide.

Finally, these guys are getting some heat:

A good reason to stay vigilant, though I still don't believe it will end up being that close:

 

I just saw a clip from the posing-smiling-with-dead bear-worm-in-brain idiot and the Orange Man and the Orange man was struggling to contain his laughter while the idiot was trying to talk on the stage. Even I started laughing.

CIRCUS.

 

FWIW, there’s this development.

 

 

I think the more sane members of the GOP - who want to win, yes, but not at the expense of our democracy - know that as long as Donald Trump remains the face and voice of their party, their only alternative is to support whoever's on the Democratic ticket.  It might even mean leaving the party altogether and either realigning with Democrats or forming a new party of their own - one that would appeal to moderates and independents - but regardless, they realize what's at stake in this election.

Hopefully if she wins some of the Sun Belt states that can help. Vance being dumped in PA must mean it's super close.

I still wake up, turn on the tv to WABC-7 to see if Trump didnt make the night. I will be so happy when that day comes.

LOL, I do that every time I get a news alert on my phone. 

 

 

What IS it with that man and his obsession with people (not) having children?  I know I've joked before that I think JDV is secretly jealous of those who aren't "tied down" with kids like he is, but I'm starting to think I actually hit the nail on its' head.

 

wish someone would ask him how he feels about priests and nuns influencing children. 

 

Another longtime media darling, Ben Sasse, who may be best known for laughing when Bill Maher dropped the n-word on his show. 

More Trump ugliness which everyone will shrug off or paint as "based."

This is the line of most of the alt right and those weird convert Catholic sects. 

Much of the time they also bemoan that more white people aren't having children. He can't say that part, yet, but once he dumps his hatemonger wife for a white version and writes off his non-white kids, he will soon parrot the same.
