Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[Bodakane]

I dont know why youre bringing jared kushners quote into this in a struggling attempt for a gotcha.
He is right though, as success-mentality has to come instrinsically. I can only pity anyone who sees anything racist about that statement.

Trump put Jared in charge of things and takes advice from him, why the fuck wouldn't;'t his comments be relevant?

Also, why go all the way to success, how about a fair living wage?

[cubby]

she'll hold out till it looks like he'll be facing jail time or going fully broke.

I hope she doesn't. I hope she bails the moment Donny is a private citizen.

she got in by claiming to know 5 languages, and some other stuff
if he suddenly went "No, that's bs, she just knows slovian and English" and for once he's not lying, I think she can be striped of her citizenship since she got it via fraud (like a true Trump)

I'm definitely in the minority here, but I hope she comes out of all this ok and stays in the country. She just signed up to marry a rich guy, and having [free] sex with Donny is punishment enough. Becoming First Lady was never something she even remotely contemplated and certainly never wanted. And I've never seen her on the same level of deplorableness as the Trump Crime Family.

no covid relief bill
thats socialism and were against handouts, and remember the defecit? we gotta worry about the deficit like republicans did for 8 years, maybe if biden wins we can get covid relief and if not since we will most certainly maintain the house, well people can find their bootstraps in a trump admin

Yup they have been and we have Steve Bullock to thank for it.

No, a struggling attempt at a gotcha, is pointing out that instrinsically is not a word. The actual argument, is that an elitist oligarch whose will to succeed ended at the struggle of coming out of his moms gap, is telling others about the will to succeed. These fuckers think you need an ID to buy groceries, because they have servants do it for them... will to succeed from an oligarch... noice...

What he said isn’t just racist, it’s classist... it’s a rich fuck swimming in his daddy’s money, telling others that you need to work hard.

This is one of the most ignorant things I have read this year. A fruitless endeavor of my trying to argue it seems.

Arguing that Black folk aren't successful because "they don't want to be successful" is the same argument as "Black folk are lazy", with a nicer suit. It was racist back then, it's racist now. Plenty of people living in poverty, including Black people, work multiple jobs just to pay the bills and not go into deeper debt. If you're gonna tell me people working multiple jobs don't want success, I'll tell you that you're either ignorant or a liar.

I will pray for you.

Please don't.

IN OTHER NEWS NOT RELATED TO DONATELLO TRUMPI - https://www.dailydot.com/debug/jacob...ll-civil-suit/

Wohl and Burkman went to court over a civil suit for their robocalls telling Black folks to stay home. They represented themselves. And they talked. A lot.

Mind you, they're also facing criminal charges, so literally everything they're saying in court, without legal representation to advise them, can be used in their criminal trials.

Also, they think that expensive bail is Unconstitutional. It should be, but unfortunately for them that's still the law of the land.

[Felya]

This is one of the most ignorant things I have read this year. A fruitless endeavor of my trying to argue it seems.

That depends on how much you like rich elite who got their money from their daddy, that you need to have motivation. How many people did Kushner’s father rip off when he went to jail? Was that ambition?

I can only shoock my head. I will pray for you.

How close to the image in your signature are you going to look, while praying and “shoocking” your head? Mouth open or closed? Do it while screaming antifa, for full effect.

This is where you tell me the middle class and working class, simply don’t have the ambition to have a rich daddy.

[Valkyrst]

Btw, for all the people claiming that Biden got Bush and Trump confused...he was talking to George Lopez. FOX weaponises anything and everything.

President Donald Trump escalated his attacks on Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf on Monday, threatening to not come to the state’s aid as the deadly COVID-19 pandemic continues to plague it. “So Tom Wolf, next time give us a little notice, governor,” Trump said Monday at the Allentown rally appearance, claiming “your governor made it almost impossible for us to find any site” for the event. “And I’ll remember it, Tom. I’m going to remember it, Tom. ‘Hello, Mr. President, this is Gov. Wolf, I need help, I need help.’ You know what? These people are bad.”

Trump also falsely claimed the governor has “the whole commonwealth” shut down and continued spreading his baseless conspiracy theory that restrictions would be lifted on the day after the election, because he believes the moves are being used to hurt his re-election effort. Wolf has aggressively fought in court to keep outdoor crowd limits to 250 people as community spread of the coronavirus has picked up throughout the late summer and fall. New case numbers are beginning to rival April’s early peaks of the outbreak in Pennsylvania.

Trump has made a point of baselessly attacking Democratic governors of swing states during the pandemic. Wolf and the governors of California, Michigan, New York, and North Carolina have been his frequent targets. Trump has repeatedly called on the states to toss aside all restrictions, even though they have been eased since the earliest days of the pandemic.

Mob-boss Trump is threatening to withhold aide to Pennsylvanians, Americans, if their governor asks for federal help.

Why? Because the states health rules made it "almost impossible" to find a place to hold a large-scale rally in the middle of a pandemic.

Just a reminder that Trump will gladly let Americans suffer if he deems they are not sufficiently loyal to him.

Also, continuing to spread lies that the pandemic will end after the election and restrictions will be lifted. Something that's not supported by anything other than his inane conspiracy theories.

[Lenonis]

Trump supporters on Twitter think Trump will win in a landslide, when 1. Every credible poll shows Biden winning by almost 8 points, and 2. Trump didn't win in a landslide in 2016, and has only gotten less popular since then.

They really are delusional.

I mean you are dealing with a group of people who think Trump DID win in a landslide in 2016. So...yeah.

[CastletonSnob]

Biden holds an 8 point lead with only 8 days left, with 60 million people already voting.

I think we're gonna be fine.

In any other administration, withholding aid from Americans on the basis of political allegiance would be an impeachable offense.

Judge ordered a month ago, and backed by:

The Postal Service also has to provide a status report by Friday at 5 p.m. to inform “the Court of its efforts to comply with this Court’s instructions here and in the previous order.”

Fan-fucking-tastic.

And even if he was actually referring to Bush, the only people who give a shit are trumpers flailing around trying to get something to stick. It won't


People misspeak all the time, no one actually cares all that much unless they are using it to their advantage.Trump calling Tim Cook Tim Apple wasn't the deciding factor in me not voting for him, and this won't matter to anyone who wasn't already voting for Trump.

[PACOX]

How seriously are both parties taking the election?

Biden sent Obama to Pennsylvania.

Trump sent Melania.

"So, it's the same speech, then?"

Yes, Melania is going to the famous Pennsylvania town of Atglen, where --

"The fuck?"

How have you not heard of Atglen? The population is like fourteen hundred whole people!

No seriously, this is likely the most central location the could get to pull in rural voters. The event will be hosted by Kellyanne Conway and will be the first I can think of where someone who caught COVID will host someone else who caught COVID and I can't wait to hear those questions get addressed.

Incidentally, while Melania handles Atglen in all its glory, Trump will hit several other states. He's low on options, he has very few people he would trust on this kind of task, but still, with PA being so important, you'd think he'd do more than drop her off and keep running.

Well Biden was going to send Michelle but that would have been awkward because was going to give the same speech.

I understand what you are getting at but..

No. We shouldn't act like we're going to be fine. We should still be pushing people to vote, maximizing turnout efforts, and running like Trump is up by 8 points instead.

Because we're not in a normal situation -- we have to overcome voter suppression and even possibly just outright attempts to steal the election outright. We can't afford to have people stay home because they think it's in the bag and we can't win by narrow margins.

You and I have had our share of differences, but we've always been on the same side of the equation. Faithless posters like @Donatello Trumpi aren't worth responding to, except perhaps for practice against literate adversaries. You're never going to get a "you're right", although it is nice to see him eat his own words.

I say this of course and I don't follow my own advice....

[Breccia]

No. We shouldn't act like we're going to be fine.

Indeed, just because the finish line is in sight doesn't mean you take your foot off the gas. It means you burn every drop you have left.

NO NO NO NO NO NO

We aren't fine until the votes have been certified and Biden's inauguration is scheduled. We have to fight every day, as hard as we can, because the other side is doing the exact same thing.

[Valkyrst]

NO NO NO NO NO NO

Very much this. Just. Keep. Voting.
