So, anyone gonna talk about how the police are now acting as hitmen for the right, and the fact that Trump is praising their actions? Cause y'know, that's how our justice system works.



Also, about Biden talking about complacency; I said the same thing a few pages back. The only thing that will allow Trump to win is if we don't go out and vote. We can't look at current polls and think it's going to be a blowout, because that's what happened in 2016. Register to vote online if you haven't done so already. Hurry, though, as it takes 10 - 14 business days for your county to process your request.

Edit: The FBI is now performing an investigation into the laptop hoax. I love how Giuliani won't allow any other publications except tabloids to see the material.

Trump's Covid-19 response is a huge selling point and should really help him.

Yeah and that death count would be lower if governors made better choices. You are another one with TDS and disingenuous.

This is Lum with TDS in two different timelines:

The USA does well and low death count: Trump did not do shit, we only did this well because of the governors actions of each state guys! Trump has no control over the states, this proves it!

Our timeline: It's all Trumps fault, the feds did NOTHING at all guys, really.

The only reason we are talking about governors' choices is because there was effectively no federal response.

Worse, the response from Trump was "it's not a big deal," "don't shutdown," "reopen as early as possible," and "don't wear masks."

Should we at all be surprised? You know the moment the bombshell dropped Joe was calling Anna. If I remember correctly Facebook was first to start censoring.

Anna Makanju is the Facebook executive in charge of “election integrity on the platform”; and guess what her job was before that position… “Previously, she was the special policy adviser for Europe and Eurasia to former US Vice President Joe Biden”.

Surprised this is still up on her BIO at this point in time.

Tenth amendment.
Trump's failings included, but weren't limited to, downplaying the virus, lying about the virus, doing nothing to hasten testing in the early stages, doing nothing to increase the availability of medical supplies, etc. Don't act like there was any sort of constitutional barrier to doing these things, because there wasn't. Trump's response was to pretend the virus didn't exist.

Educate yourself. Shouting "Tenth amendment" like it's at all relevant makes you sound like a fool.

Voters Hold Parades For Trump And Biden In Shows Of Support

On Saturday, President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden voters held parades in dueling shows of support.


Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes arranged for a mariachi band to serenade a parade of 6 voters as they drop off their ballots at an early voting center.

Nicole Pastuer, spokesperson for the Biden campaign, said of the parade in a tweet that she had “never seen people so excited—so proud and emotional—to vote.”

Meanwhile, it looks like Biden is ahead in Arizona by 3.9 points.

While the tabloid smear campaign will likely peel some undecideds away, the skyrocketing October Covid-19 numbers are peeling voters right back to Biden. Trump is, after all, the face of the anti-mask movement, which we've seen time and again at his mask-less rallies and at the recent mask-less Rose Garden superspreader event.

Biden's aggregate polling was only up around +3 points at the end of February. Can anyone fathom a guess how it spiked all the way to +10.6 in October? :rofl2:

You mean like the freedom to go shopping without encountering mask-less Karens bunched up together during a pandemic.
I mean the freedom to go shopping unmasked without faceless sheep throwing things at you and yelling at the top of their lungs. If you're scared, you can stay home. If you're not scared, you shouldn't have to wear a mattress on your face.
