President Donald Trump tweet
“Will be back on the Campaign Trail soon!!! The Fake News only shows the Fake Polls.“

Love that he's clearly just writing his name on a blank piece of paper there.

Trump positive for Covid-19 is the worst fake news ever.
Do you really believe this major election stunt?

i believe nothing that comes out of that turd’s mouth

everything he does is a con

Fair enough. But a manchild repeatedly on tape disregarding safety measures, mingling with large crowds of people without a mask on contracting Covid - I think that much I can believe.

yeah, he’s basically schrödinger’s turd: infected and not infected at the same time, until we flush the toilet and then it becomes clear.

Paul Sperry tweet
“BREAKING: Joe Biden is the subject of an active federal criminal investigation into his role in the counterintelligence investigation directed @ the Trump campaign during the 2016 election, incl the former vice president's activities in Ukraine.Ukrainian witnesses are cooperating”


BREAKING: Joe Biden is the Subject of Federal Criminal Investigation Into His Role in Spygate and Activities in Ukraine

“Joe Biden was in a January 5, 2017 secret Oval Office meeting discussing General Flynn’s phone calls with Russian Ambassador Kislyak with Obama, Yates, Comey, Rice and Brennan and 7 days later he sought to unmask Flynn.”

Opinions
I couldn’t sit idly and watch people die from Trump’s chaotic, politicized pandemic response, so I resigned

Rick Bright, an immunologist and vaccine researcher, is the former director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority.

Of all the tools required for an effective U.S. response to the coronavirus pandemic, one that is sorely missing is the truth. Public health guidance on the pandemic response, drafted by career scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has been repeatedly overruled by political staff appointed by the Trump administration. Career scientists throughout the Department of Health and Human Services hesitate to push back when science runs counter to the administration’s unrealistically optimistic pronouncements.

Public health and safety have been jeopardized by the administration’s hostility to the truth and by its politicization of the pandemic response, undoubtedly leading to tens of thousands of preventable deaths. For that reason, and because the administration has in effect barred me from working to fight the pandemic, I resigned on Tuesday from the National Institutes of Health.

Until April, I had for almost four years been director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority. When I strongly objected this past spring to the Trump administration’s insistence that BARDA support widespread access to chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, two potentially dangerous drugs recklessly promoted by President Trump as a covid-19 cure, I was shunted to the NIH and assigned a more limited role in the pandemic response.

My task at the NIH was to help launch a program expanding national covid-19 testing capacity. The program is well underway, and should reach nearly 1 million daily tests by the end of the year. Since early September, though, I was given no work; my services apparently were no longer needed.

I fear the benefits of dramatically improved testing capacity will be wasted unless it is a part of a coordinated national testing strategy. My recommendations to support a national plan were met with a tepid response. In an administration that suffers from widespread internal chaos, such coordination may be impossible — especially when the White House has seemed determined to slow down testing and not test people who might have asymptomatic infections.

From the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak, the administration’s failure to respond with a coordinated strategy only heightened the danger. Now the nation, and the world, are in the worst public health crisis in over a century. More than 1 million people worldwide have died from the pandemic; more than 211,000 Americans are dead. More than half of the states in this country are reporting rising covid-19 cases. Nine months into the pandemic, the United States continues to grapple with failed White House leadership. Instead, we get the recent spectacle of the president exploiting his own illness for political purposes and advising the nation, “Don’t be afraid of Covid.” Ironically, he was only able to leave the hospital after receiving two treatments that I had pushed for in January.

Meanwhile, there is still no coordinated national strategy to end the pandemic. Federal agencies, staffed with some of the best scientists in the world, continue to be politicized, manipulated and ignored.

The country is flying blind into what could be the darkest winter in modern history. Undoubtedly, millions more Americans will be infected with the coronavirus and influenza; many thousands will die. Now, more than ever before, the public needs to be able to rely on honest, non-politicized and unmanipulated public health guidance from career scientists.

summarized for beauregards: “trump ignored scientists” :D

He doesn't need to "fear it", really; the "improved testing capacity", if it becomes a thing at all, will most certainly be swallowed by the sad reality that is the Dotard's administration's response to the pandemic/pandemonium. And what the fuck are they "administrating" anyway - the USA's federalism's inherent chaos? Shit, even Brexiteer par excellence Boris is now crying like a little bitch for a globally coordinated response, after he and Farage were the maximum bearers of the campaign to leave that oh-so-evil multinational EU. PALLbearers is what they are now.

man what a pointless smarmy bloviating fuck is this this oence talking about absolutely nothing with that ridiculous tone of his like what he’s saying is actually something

He looks constipated while he's offering nothing but weak memorized talking points and platitudes.

I'm not watching it (technical issues, long story), but I hope Harris is wiping the floor with him (and cleans out any remains of his exposure to Covid-19 in the process, just to be sure). Who better than a good, honorable former prosecutor who believes in science (as if science were something one "believes" in - goddamn creationists have fucked up our language for Christ on a stick's sake... Science IS THERE, it's based on FACTS) to demolish an assclown who thinks the Earth is 6,000 years old?

there’s a big fucking fly feasting on the undead scalp of that pence ghoul

Harris had a solid performance. She was at her best when she was in full prosecutor-mode. There were even a few effective visual cues - at one point towards the beginning, she'd throw a glance directly at her opponent whilst confronting him about the Trump admin's failures. Later on, she was adressing the people directly by looking straight into the camera. Pence seemed uncomfortable and smarmy and mostly tried to make his talking points appear more substantive by constantly babbling on, overstepping his time limits time and time again.

At least now he’s got proof that he has one black friend

I must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Savage Clone again.

So the lil' fly made some headlines (for proving Pence is a piece of shit, I guess) and even prompted Biden to fire this tweet:



That is truly brilliant - makes me think Joe hired the same guy who wrote his former boss' "Bucket!" joke. :D

Hey, The Guardian stole my line...

Kamala Harris walked a tightrope, but still wiped the floor with Mike Pence

Brilliant. Post of the year.

I lifted the line from a friend’s Instagram, so I can’t take credit but it was definitely worth spreading around.

Trump's refusing to do the second debate. Puuuusssyyyyyy

the world already knows he’s deranged so what does it matter

I wonder if it's because of the virtual detail, or he doesn't want a second debate period.

He needs a platform he can control, something his audience can drink up like spiked Kool-Aid.

so, some yahoos were arrested by the fbi for plotting to kidnap the governor of michigan. i wonder how soon till trump calls them “great people” and issues a pardon, like he does with fraudsters and war criminals.

Trump complained Gretchen Whitmer did not "thank him" (because basically we all should be in awe of him and thank him for existing, you follow). Imagine what's gonna happen in November as the mail-in ballots start showing Biden is winning the presidency and Apocalypse Fuckface begins tweeting to the MAGAs to take over the state capitols. With GUNS and shit.

From Rolling Stone:

New Bonkers Interview: Trump Says He Beat Biden in Second Debate, an Event That Has Yet to Happen

Sheer coincidence from Zakaria's Global Briefing:

Oof. Sure Bytor and co will call him out on that and refer to him as sleepy Trump (Nono that's not when you trump whilst in bed asleep and are woken up by the smell) from now on.

What Rolling Stone reports him saying:

“But I beat him in the first debate. At the second debate, we had a never-Trumper as a host, but that’s OK because I beat [Biden] in the second debate also.”

What he actually said, according to the official transcript:

"But I beat him in the first debate. At the second debate we have a never Trumper as a host, but that's OK because I'd beat him in the second debate also."

You can hear for yourself:

01:14-01:24

"I", "I'd". You decide, but sounded pretty clear to me.

It's funny how Trump campaign representative issues a statement how Trump "won the debate"


Does "screamed louder than opponent and interrupted everyone" count as "won the debate" now?

If Rolling Stone fucked up, it's highly lamentable because (in addition to being weak reporting) it only provides fodder for the "SEE, FAKE NEWS!!! TRIPLE EXCLAMATION POINT!!!" crowd.

Far more lamentable, however, is that you want this waste of oxygen to remain in power.

A pretty "old" column (October 1) related to your post (it's like dog years at warp speed with this shit):

Such a simple and reasonable explanation!




Biden the coward, hiding behind a virus (allowing the media to run his campaign), has been a segregationist for much of his life......and Kamala Harris believes the women who have come forward alleging that former Vice President Joe Biden touched them without their consent.

This past Thursday, the same Joe Biden stated: ”They'll know my opinion on court-packing when the election is over.”

With that statement, how can we trust him to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States when he won’t even tell us how he will treat one of our three branches of government, and the checks and balances within it? His statement is reminiscent of Vomit Pelosi’s comment on the Obama Care act, ‘We have to pass the bill before you can see what's in it.’

Speaking of Vomit......her comments about the 25th amendment (doubt she has even read it).

“Mrs. Pelosi wants to distance this 25th Amendment ploy from her party’s years-long effort to overturn the 2016 election results, but even the press corps was skeptical. Mrs. Pelosi said later in her presentation that “any of us who is under medication of that seriousness”—referring to President Trump’s coronavirus treatment—“is in an altered state.”

What does Section 4 of the 25th Amendment say, “Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide,” Let’s break it down, the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments are not going to move forward on this, so she needs another “body,” the problem is,

THERE IS NO OTHER BODY, because there is no law that created one!

So let’s look at what a Biden/Harris ticket wants to do.

They want to change the senate rules to no longer require 60 votes to take up bills. 60 votes are required to begin debate; this is called the filibuster. Do away with the filibuster, it will take just 50 votes plus the V.P to break a tie. Why is this so important?

They want to pack the supreme court, repeal the tax cuts, raise new taxes on business, wealth, savings, retirement (401ks IRAs and do away with the tax advantage they have)

The public option, this would take them a couple of years, but it would be a complete takeover and be a government healthcare system with no choice. Free college, taxpayer funded abortion right up to and after birth.
Harris was a co-sponsor of the 2019 Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA), which prohibits state laws banning post-viability abortions that do not make exceptions if a woman’s health and life are at risk.

Abolish ICE and re-imagine police departments. Provide free health care for illegal aliens. They want to get rid of the “Right to work.”

What is it?

It affirms the right of every American to work for a living without being compelled to belong to a union. Compulsory unionism in any form–“union shop,” “closed shop,” or “agency shop” –is a contradiction of the Right To Work principle and the fundamental human right of freedom that the principle represents. It also prevents federal unions to negotiate for federal wages.

A Democrat, FDR opposed public employee (government) unions.

They want to get rid of both natural gas and oil fueled power plants. They want to take 2 million homes out of about 139 million homes and retrofit for clean air, who’s homes do you think they will choose?

They want Net0 agriculture, telling a farmer he can’t use his tractor because it puts out carbon emissions, unless of course its an electric tractor. They want to make states out of Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico. They can do all this with just 50 votes if they win back the senate and the presidency.

Don’t believe me: Democratic Task Forces Deliver Biden A Blueprint For A Progressive Presidency
(check out link of 110 page document of all they have agreed to)

Still don’t believe: 2020 Democratic Party Platform
(The proposed platform was considered by the 2020 Platform Committee at its meeting on July 27, 2020, and is recommended for approval by the delegates)

It's enough to make you wonder if campaigners might be biased towards the candidate they're campaigning for. :eek:

but why are you now a trump campaigner man?

i understood when you though trump was gonna win—ok, that’s a prediction. but from that to you wanting him to win?

i understood your tory vote given the claim that “europe rules by austerity” (up to that point, they had).

but i have no idea why you would want trump to win.

You ask that like I'm some kind of political anomaly. There are literally millions of people who would've once considered themselves 'of the left' but ditched so-called Leftist/Liberal parties, whether it's for Trump, Boris, whoever, simply because they find them more in tune with their sense of reality than most of those who currently advertise themselves as Leftists or Liberals. That's less an endorsement of Trump, et al, and more a question about how Left/Liberal politics has managed to alienate so many of what was once its base.
