    Also "Biden is not Trump"

    I don't think anyone on here with TDS knows, nor wants to know the good things Trump's admin has done.
    They don't know the bad things Biden has done, nor want to know

    So when they think they have a valid opinion, which is based on the angrier elements of the echo chamber, with no substance, it makes me laugh

    It also made me learn slowly, to ignore arguments of no substance. (baseless TDS replies, I won't even reply to unless there is substantive content in said reply)

    Screaming at the ether is rather fruitless

    TDS that people display on this thread often.
    I did a few fact checks on the claims t'other day, citations n'all, and it made no difference. TDS made it descend into a ****show immediately, so I gave up.


    I don't think it's worth my time even to go and assemble quotes, because it won't make a lick of difference, in fact it will only serve to turn this thread into a **** show.

    I've been down this road lots matey, the discussions are not ones of good faith (and of course there are one or two who'd like to piss me off so I ask for my acc banned again) <ok>

    Take it cheesy

    ****in hell. Another shooting, and more riots.

    Seen the video, not posting it. Big guy with a big knife going at the cops, who give him a lot of time to put down the knife, he advanced on them. Looks like suicide by cop.

    For those that think Tasers should be used, I can post many a video of an attacker walking through the tasers. Baggy clothes especially, make Tasers useless.

    Yet it doesn't mean we shouldn't ask if there are other measures that could be deployed. Someone looking to suicide by cop is by definition having a serious mental breakdown.

    The ineffectiveness of a Taser is leaving bullets as the only other option. Looking at that way, the question begs, what could be better as a non lethal (tasers are not non-lethal) measure before they use live ammo?

    It's a way to handwave away any criticism of the Orange Emperor, much like he uses Fake News to dismiss any reporting he doesn't like.

    Seen that video some time back, now seen it again a few times. I have to ask, if you were on a jury (and God knows how it would get that far), would you convict anyone of anything there apart from being clumsy and creepy? Reminds me of Brendan Rogers in that disastrous series he did for Amazon whilst at us. He just seems unnatural and awkward around everyone, whereas someone like Obama, or even Dubya, seemed to have a natural easiness about them. But 'Tweaked her nipple'? FFS. I'd be more worried of him dropping my kids or tripping them over than fiddling with them.

    Yeah, I googled it: Trump Derangement Syndrome. Another empty label added to the alt.right vocabulary, by which they try to undermine any and all dissent.

    It’s what all cults do; invent their own language to support the phony doctrine.

    Early indications are that there has been huge postal votes cast already, which indicates that there will be a massive voter turn out for this election.

    And they're already trying to chuck out as many of them as possible.
    I have a lot of problems with the politics in this country, but I've never had any trouble voting or heard of anyone struggling to do so.

    Texas tried to restrict each county to one ballot drop box.
    Loving County has a population of of 134. Harris County has a population of 4.65m and includes the city of Houston.

    Was pondering there yesterday, if Trump wins, who's the two going to be running head to head in 2024
    It could literally be two rappers at this point. <laugh>

    The election may well not be decided on election night with a backlog of mail in votes, so they might not know a winner for some time after.

    The worst outcome for Americans is Trump winning on election night but with votes still not counted, and you can bet if Trump is winning at the time, there will be all manner of claims of this and that with those votes, followed by legal battles.. f he's winning and mail in votes say he loses, the same will happen, legal battles, claims of this and that

    That could take months, and that would mean the senate (new senate in elections) will put in an interim President until its sorted out

    If one thinks the last 4 years were a ****show, if that ^ happens, the last 4 years will be nothing

    Should be interesting...

    Considering there are about 30+ Senate seats being contested on the same day as the Presidential election, 23 of them being Republican seats.

    And Democrats only needing 3-4 to control the majority. Very interesting.

    That Trump and his packed Supreme Court will do what they can to try and invalidate.

    I can see the democrats losing a seat or two, because of their reaction to the riots and looting, not gaining seats, based off of what I've been seeing, it's just a guess.
    I think the GOP will hang on to it.


    BLM and Antifa have been going into the suburbs with airhorns n **** at night and ****in with neighborhoods
    That aint vote winning material for dems who endorsed this ****

    Listened to him on rogan the other day...... He's a Christian soldier on a mission at the moment again(yank ting) but at least without the odd pause for thought or prayer he did have the odd out of the box idea that I liked.

    Anyway.. who cares who's in power..... The world will continue its long laid out path if its Kanye or a wax work of Abraham Lincoln

    Wishful thinking perhaps. There are many more Republican seats up for grabs. The families and friends of those hundreds of thousands who died from the coronavirus as well as the general concerns about how it's being handled seems to be a wider concern from what I've seen.
