Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

I'm intellectually dishonest but you support Trump when saying Biden is losing mental faculties?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

You resorted to false equivalence as if you were making an intelligent counterpoint.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

You resorted to false equivalence as if you were making an intelligent counterpoint.

And your original point of being unable to read something falls flat when you support a man that we know can barely read to begin with and that's before he can even see the damn alphabet soup he's trying to read.

Deny reality all you want...but if Biden needs a teleprompter to answer questions...he has some very serious issues.

[Stormspellz]

Trump allows reporters to ask him questions all the fucking time. Biden avoids reporter questions like the plague. Do you ever stop to wonder why?

which has the same 3 answers of nothing for everything, typically telling a female she's mean and vile in some manner

Sure thing Hypocrite Justice Warrior.

You guys cried and cried and cried and cried that Obama used a teleprompter. You all said it showed he was unfit to be President because he was too stupid to memorize all his speeches. Now you're doing the same thing with Biden, with the slight difference that he's too senile instead of stupid.

And you're doing all that while ignoring that Trump can barely complete a sentence and doesn't use a teleprompter because he his functionally illiterate.

[PhaelixWW]

And going off teleprompter was what made Trump claim that there were airports in the Revolutionary War.

Plus Yo Semite, Thighland, hamberders... I mean the list goes on and on and on...

This is not a fight that your candidate can even come within miles of winning, sorry.

Using a teleprompter for a speech is one thing...but using it to answer questions is quite another. Apparently some are unable to grasp this distinction.

Why bother inventing a new lie when you can just repeat an old lie, I guess.

Apparently you didn't read or understand my posts regarding the very important distinction of using a teleprompter for a speech vs using one to answer questions in real time.

Same old, same old bullshit from liberals.

Biden needs to read answers to voter questions using a teleprompter. WTF is that?

It's becoming more and more obvious that Biden has some very serious cognitive issues.

Edit: Here's the video.

"Move it up here"

That's what's triggering this whole fucking nonsense? That one comment? And now it's something about teleprompters, despite Biden doing multiple smaller public events and taking questions from media etc. "free form".

Man, this is some of the saddest, most pathetic shit. Trump doesn't have a coherent argument for his presidency that isn't build on fearmongering about the last 4 years and the next 4, and lying about Biden's position on almost everything because he's incapable of delivering a coherent critique either. So it's pathetic, pointless, unrelated "gotcha" bullshit like this.

Coming from a guy who, when asked about his second term priorities, responded thusly -

Well, one of the things that will be really great, you know, the word experience is still good. I always say talent is more important than experience. I've always said that. But the word experience is a very important word. It’s a very important meaning. I never did this before—I never slept over in Washington. I was in Washington I think 17 times, all of the sudden, I'm the president of the United States. You know the story, I'm riding down Pennsylvania Avenue with our First Lady and I say, 'This is great.' But I didn't know very many people in Washington, it wasn't my thing. I was from Manhattan, from New York. Now I know everybody. And I have great people in the administration. You make some mistakes, like you know an idiot like Bolton, all he wanted to do is drop bombs on everybody. You don't have to drop bombs on everybody. You don't have to kill people.

Top kek indeed.

[Belize]

"Joe Biden can't leave his basement

Ok, he can leave his basement but he can't talk

Ok, he can talk but he can't answer questions

Ok, he can answer questions but they aren't adversarial enough

Ok, he's only able to do stuff because he's being drugged"

Maybe Biden gets his drugs from the same place that Trump gets his crushed up adderall to snort

[DocSavageFan]

Coming from a guy who, when asked about his second term priorities, responded thusly -

It just so happens that not dropping bombs and not killing people everywhere in the world is my #1 priority.

That said, I heard rumor that the Trump administration negotiated a Middle East peace deal with more likely to follow...something no one has been able to accomplish for decades and decades....but I imagine one wouldn't know (or understand the significance of) such things if they prefer their reality filtered through the Ministry of Truth.

Because he can't handle unscripted questions and avoid saying something stupid without help. One reason he really avoids questions which he feels he has no control over what they are. Biden is a puppet for the radical socialist crowd of the Democrat party. It has been made so clear by now.

No smart politician would ever pick a running mate who during the primary had trashed him as bad as Kamala Harris did. She believed his accusers of sexual misconduct and attacked his previous record in politics.

Sure, I guess that rambling, incoherent answer that only references Bolton wanting to drop bombs on everyone said that. Ignoring that he hired Bolton in the first place with Bolton's desire to bomb the fuck out of brown folks being public knowledge, sure.

What about the rest of the nonsense?

You mean that deal with the UAE where the Trump administration didn't bother to tell Israel that we were selling the UAE F-35's? The one Israel walked away from, before Bibi crawled back because he's as desperate for a political win at home as Trump is? The deal that doesn't really accomplish a ton as the two haven't been in active conflict for a long time and it makes precisely zero improvements for the people in the US?

"I want to take where we left, we had the greatest economy in the history of the world, we were better than any other country, we were better than we were ever -- we -- we never had anything like it in this country.... What I want to do is take it from that point and then build it even better."

Maybe you can translate this as well, because this was his fourth attempt to outline his goals for his next term and this is akin to a kid giving a book report for a book he only read the cover of. "To Kill a Mockingbird is a book about a guy and some other people, and some things happen and they do some things and in the end it all turns out ok."

It's sure weird seeing a guy who was earlier attacked as a more conservative Democrat is now apparently a puppet of the radical socialist left, who are so powerful they couldn't even get Sanders the nomination.

That's some nonsense right there.

And to the Harris bit, that's similarly nonsense. Primary opponents are often chosen as VP's even with attacks against the candidate before they wont the primary.

No I read your stupid bullshit, #1 its a lie that has been debunked and #2 it is a stupid distinction

Fearmongering is all they have... Trump giving a speech right now about 9/11, while stealing money from first responders.

Hmm, lets look at this claim on its merits, shall we?

First of all, we can reject the "Hasn't been able to accomplish in decades" out of hand. Previous presidents inked tons of deals in the middle east. Notably, Obama negotiated a deal to prevent Iran from gaining Nuclear weapons, which was a peace deal between people that were actually fighting. I assume you don't like this deal, but it did exist.

Second of all, what did Trump actually accomplish here? A Peace agreement between two nations that were not at war? That have never been at war? That have no significant relationships with each other? I could probably negotiate a peace agreement between New Zealand and Mongolia, but that doesn't make it useful. He did however use it leverage some arms sales that Congress has repeatedly tried blocking, since the UAE uses that stuff for bombing Yemen.

"More likely to follow", wtf does that mean? Is Trump going to resolve tensions with Iran? Stop Russian expansion into the Middle East? Resolve the Yemen conflict? He sure as hell isn't going to do anything useful in Syria.

Finally, for a guy that has his #1 priority being "Not dropping bombs and killing people everywhere in the world", you have a really weird candidate for that. Trump has not done anything but escalate that. He authorized a raid in Yemen within 48 hours of taking office purely because Obama wouldn't. That raid got a US Service-member killed for no reason. He has provided unflinching support to Saudi and the UAE in systematically destroying Yemen, even as Congress tried to stop him. He killed an Iranian general in Iraq, which resulted in US forces coming under ballistic missile fire. He has inflamed the situation in Syria, and by his own admission, remains "To Protect the Oil", which is his exact stated reason. He directed a spectacularly incompetent Venezuela "Strategy" that involves recognizing a new President, then doing fuck all to help him become actual president, sowing such chaos in the area that a gang of Trump supporting lunatics actually invaded it and got captured (They are still there, because Trump doesn't give a shit about his supporters). He froze aide to the Ukraine while Russia was invading them, he has escalated military actions in sub-Saharan Africa...

Biden is Shrodinger's candidate. Both a radical leftist and a Neo-conservative hawk at the same time. As long as you don't bother to educate yourself by looking at the candidate, he can be both at the same time.
