The American Politics Thread

If he caught the gag reel of Joe's gaffs going back to the Obama years or listened to too many right wing portrayals of Joe, then his perception might be colored the way a Trump supporter's is. And I doubt that Laz watched the entire debate. Biden has Trump on the ropes now. He didn't do that by sleeping through or stumbling through the debate.

From Grand Rapids, Michigan where he spoke the day Trump was diagnosed with covid. 

First woman President, Nancy Pelosi? Pence tested negative, but it could happen. Just saying. I do echo SteveG about voting them out rather than carrying them out. But the mere potential for it is remarkable. 2020 still never fails to surprise.

Just heard the news of hospitalisation on BBC news. They inferred it must be serious to be taken to Walter Reed, given he has an army of medics at The White House. Eerily like Johnson’s story, except a lot quicker.

Two words that should not go together, 'experimental' and 'drug'.
And yes, voted out, not carried out. I don't wish his demise on him or those who care for him, but if he dies, we will drown in crazy conspiracy theories.

I used to know a jazz guitar player from Queens that had that exact same personality, a lot of bragging and opinions, chip on the shoulder etc. Philly guys can be like that too, but not as combative.

I can't sit back and take it easy, this guy really bugs me. I think its almost more a personality thing than a political thing, but politically he is a dangerous loose canon, so that just adds to it. I didn't like his stupid tv show either, what kind of punch-line is "you're fired", the show was insulting, I never watched it, but still hated it.
On a morality level casinos are one step above whore houses and crack houses. I used to perform at casinos, a few people come there for fun, but the majority are people with multiple addictions.

Re David and Steve; You are right, I will not change any hardcore trumpateers, they don't care about traditional conservative values anyway. I'm just trying to reach your classic humble. polite. considerate southerner with the traditional conservative values that trump lacks, and there are still a lot of those people around here.

From my experience on the social sites around here, if you challenge trump from a knowledgeable conservative viewpoint, trumpateers tend to back off quickly. Did I change anyone's mind, maybe not, but lets just say that fights aren't won by giving up too easily. I really don't want this guy re-elected and I am doing what I can to make sure he doesn't.
