As bad as Covid has been for Trump, I think it would be 100X worse for Biden to inherit.
I have to wonder if you've even paying attention to anything that's been happening the last 5 months? Remarkable.
Remember all the people who laugh at the thought of a senile Reagan minding the store?
Are they still laughing?
In the 2020s.... such a possibility isn't humorous.
I love how you guys are talking as if we're currently at some sort of normal baseline with a president who isn't incompetent on almost every level imaginable.

The polls showed a dominating Hillary victory in 2016 throughout the election and on election day.
The polls showed Hillary winning a popular vote, which she did.
They also showed her ahead in the swing state polls, until about two weeks prior to the election when the leads essentially dried up . Trump won the electoral college by approximately 80k votes and a successful Russian social media propaganda campaign (Which Trump Jr. and Ted Cruz are already busy repeating in regards to BLM.)

VP debate is gonna be fire. Pence has gotta be shitting himself.
She's on a completely different level than Pence. There is no comparison IMO.
That said, I don't believe debates make a difference anymore.
Here's the latest "Republicans Against Trump" ad, going after Pence for being a suck up.

Just stop being mitch. If it takes you 7 days to do it, great. If it's 30 seconds from now, great.
Your first two posts in this thread were personal in nature. It seems like you're the problem here. You posted nothing of substance and only made snide personal remarks.
You have a bad attitude and this "new" thread proved it inside of the first few posts.
Post something of substance or take a hike.

Trump has started his birther conspiracy theory shit with Kamala now. What an absolute disgrace.
In addition, his fuckery with the USPS is beyond the pale. Brazen in its criminality and straight up election interference. He's saying the quiet part out loud, and why wouldn't he? His party is complicit in this treasonous behavior.

Says the 15+ scientific journals I’ve read of both opposing and supporting views, the handful of scientific experts I’ve listened to extended videos with that comment on the disconcerting triumph of politics over science in the scientific community.
Wow! Another online genius who has done their "research."
The scientific/medical community overwhelmingly says that wearing masks is the most effective way to deal with this pandemic. New studies also show that wearing a mask lowers the viral load you're being exposed to. Symptoms are mild or the individual is simply asymptomatic.
This is not me making some claim on my own obviously. Just like anything else in life I refer out to experts when needed. That's who I listen to, the consensus of scientists around the world, not morons on social media or on forums. I'm sure Cain quoted some scientists with contrarian views on masks as well.
But most people can't separate the wheat from the chaff because their political enemies say it and whenever misfortune small or large occurs, it's merely an opportunity to dunk on said political enemies.
This is nonsense of course. We've watched 160,000 Americans die because of an abysmal failure of our government. While other countries who follow science have significantly lower infections/death rates. But yea sure, it's because we all just hate trump and are blindsided by our own extreme ideology. That's a weak, lazy and dishonest argument. It's the same thing Buzz says. Everybody just "hates trump" boo hoo hoo. Bullshit. He's failed America here and hundreds of thousands will die because of it.
We're going to see 250-300k dead in America before the end of the year because of covid-19. And what I see here is more complacency, weakness and pivoting. Some hill to die on too...have some dignity.

You seem like an unhappy guy.
Everybody else here is talking about current political news and providing their opinions. You're the exception.
The problem here is that you don't like what we're talking about and want to control the narrative. Too bad.
I think you made a fine suggestion. Start another thread and you can hang out there, maybe somebody will join you.

Students say they were suspended and others threatened with 'consequences' for posting photos of their school's packed hallways
Students at North Paulding High School in Dallas Georgia say they've been suspended or threatened with "consequences" for posting pictures of crowded hallways with few students wearing masks.
The images circulated widely on social media August 4, prompting concerns about the health and safety of students. The district said wearing a mask is a "personal choice."
Coronavirus cases had already been reported at the school, according to an email sent to parents.
At least one student has been suspended for posting pictures of her crowded high school hallways amid intense debate about how to safely reopen schools, according to current students.
Photos showing a crowded hallway on the first day back at North Paulding High School circulated widely on social media on August 4, prompting national debate about the difficulty of reopening schools during the pandemic.
In the days since, current students told Insider, the school has been cracking down on anyone who posts pictures or video of the crammed conditions.
The images, which show a packed hallway between classes and many students not wearing masks, igniting concerns about the coronavirus spreading among students, staff and teachers.

Prosecutors in NYC won the right (Via the Supreme Court) to see Trump's tax returns and financial records for a their ongoing criminal investigation into him this week. Remember his attorney Michael Cohen testified that Trump had falsified documents to lower his tax liabilities among other things. Unlike our corrupt GOP senate, I'd imagine we'll see the rule of law prevail here.

We need to create a thread where all the people with their panties in a bunch over Trump can just cry on each other's shoulders and the rest of us don't have to see it. It's amazing how one person can make so many people lose their shit on a daily basis.
The snowflake demands a safe space. ^^^
