Meanwhile, Paul Joseph Watson discusses how the Left reacted...

Who's Paul Joseph Wat...

is a alt-right, English YouTuber, radio host, writer, anti-feminist, conspiracy theorist and political extremist.

Never mind.

reminds me of the anti Biden ads I see about taxes

they edit out everything just before Biden says, "I'm going to raise your taxes" to give everyone watching the false impression he's going to raise their taxes

And then they defend the blatant bullshit Trump says by claiming he's being taken out of context, lol.

One of the biggest fundamentals of the race. Biden only really needed to outperform CLinton by 1% in 3 states; MI, WI, and PA to win.
But yes, make it a landslide! I'm not really a fan of "Dominance Politics", but Trump and the GOP need to be crushed if we're going to salvage democracy. Whew, im getting the @Skroe vapors

Biden's campaign is running an ad featuring the cherry farmers that Jill Biden met with in this Northern Michigan country that Trump won overwhelmingly in 2016.

WATCH Television: A new ad highlights how climate change is making it hard for Northern Michigan cherry farmers like John to survive.

As president, Joe Biden will partner with farmers to combat climate change all while expanding economic opportunities.

We need to see some of those wasted oil subsidy money to go to EV and offshore wind farms. If we don't start doing that soon, we'll be left behind by China and EU. Stop wasting money of fossils. Trump's latest Atlantic Ocean offshore ban on drilling also applies to offshore wind farms.

Hey, remember how conservatives were crowing about the ballot harvesting 'conspiracy' on behalf of Ilhan Omar in Minnesota?

BREAKING: Liban Osman, subject of Project Veritas alleged voter fraud story, tells FOX9 he was offered $10K by Omar Jamal to say he was collecting ballots for Congresswoman Omar. Omar Jamal was Project Veritas’ insider in the Somali community.

Shocking that a group known for producing fake videos would produce a fake video.

Oh, yeah. This definitely goes in the 'Republicans being hypocrites about electoral fraud' column, also.

Cunningham is still up 6 points after the revelation that he was romantically texting a woman that is not his wife.

I'll be the first to admit that it might not be far enough along for that news to be affecting the revelation. But the poll was done after the news cycle.

Guess four years of being gaslit by a serial adulterer and divorcee lowers one's standards. Just saying.

78k votes. 78k votes across those three states was all that separated this Trump presidency from a Clinton presidency. And that's just the actual separation; it would have required less than 40k votes flipped from Trump to Clinton to have changed the last 4 years for the better.

Lol, good point. However, in this case it might work in our favor. NC was one Senate seat that had been looking promising for a flip for months.

Imagine this being the biggest issue you have with both candidates today.


Fucking amazing.

Lil Ghosty is a serial gaslighter and sealioner - and a major supporter of the Dear Leader. Anything Faux News presses he swallows hook, line, and sinker. It's the issue I'm seeing as the largest "block" to healing the nation. We still have millions of people, just like him and Thwarty and Hammer and the list goes on and on, who back the Idiot-in-Chief, and because we are apparently hard wired NOT to admit being wrong, the doubling down will continue.

How do we move forward with people like that?

The top US general, Gen. Mark Milley, and several members of the senior Pentagon leadership are quarantining after a top Coast Guard official tested positive for coronavirus, several US defense officials tell CNN.

The Vice Commandant of the US Coast Guard, Adm. Charles Ray, tested positive on Monday.
"On Monday, the Vice Commandant of the Coast Guard, Admiral Charles Ray, tested positive for COVID-19. He was tested the same day, after feeling mild symptoms over the weekend," the Coast Guard said in a statement Tuesday.
"The Coast Guard is following established policies for COVID, per CDC guidelines, to include quarantine and contact tracing. According to CDC guidelines, any Coast Guard personnel that were in close contact will also quarantine. In accordance with established Coast Guard COVID policies, Admiral Ray will be quarantining from home," the statement said.
Ray recently attended several meetings at the Pentagon in secure areas with members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Multiple defense officials tell CNN that senior Pentagon leadership who had been in proximity to Ray have been tested and are awaiting results.

The virus is in the Pentagon, affecting senior leadership who are now quarantining.

How are we supposed to trust Trump to protect this country if he can't protect himself, the White House, or the Pentagon?

Stephanie Landaverde did everything right. The 24-year-old bartender took all the precautions she could as the pandemic began its spread through Massachusetts. She wore a mask, kept to a small circle of family members, and after restaurants reopened, decided not to return to work in order to protect her vulnerable parents and grandparents, who were all immunocompromised.

But her 81-year-old grandfather, Juan Ciprian, was less cautious. He was a Trump supporter and refused to wear a mask, parroting the president’s statements about the virus not being a concern.

He died last week of COVID-19. His family received his ashes the day after Trump announced his diagnosis.

Reminder: Donald Trump is literally getting Americans killed.

Joe Biden isn't.

That's all. That's the post.

This morning the President's team of physicians met with him in the Residence. He had a restful first night at home, and today he reports no symptoms.

Trump is saying he's fine, not the 'doctor'. This 'doctor' is also not an MD. He's an osteopath. This is as good as claiming to be a Disc Priest IRL.

FLORIDA ONLINE VOTER REGISTRATION IS EXTENDED UNTIL TONIGHT AT 7PM ET which is...5 AND HALF HOURS AWAY - https://www.huffpost.com/entry/flori...b60c6bcc62cd36

Also, there's some indication that it wasn't just normal load that crashed the site. According to anonymous sources the site was seeing over 500K hits an hour which I mean, I know we all like to procrastinate but that seems abnormally high even for a bigger state like Florida.

Goldman Sachs: A Democratic sweep would mean faster economic recovery


That awkward moment when financial institutions contradict Trump on his claims that Democrats will ruin the economy and instead...

Just hours after Trump's all-caps Monday morning tweet predicting economic disaster, Goldman economists pointed out that polls "suggest a 'blue wave' in which Democrats gain unified control of Washington is becoming more likely" -- and they're not suggesting investors dump stocks.

In fact, "all else equal, such a blue wave would likely prompt us to upgrade our forecasts," Goldman Sachs chief economist Jan Hatzius wrote in a Monday report.

Trump is still searching for support for his campaign messages.

I'm not surprised Ghosty has that mentality since he's an actual boomer (despite his sorry attempt at trying to convince otherwise). They've been indoctrinated for decades with the "fuck you, got mine" mentality while bitching really hard as soon as anything inconveniences them personally.

I could not agree more. Even those my and my wife's parents are part of the boomer generation, I will be glad when they are no longer part of the voting block. The path forward for the United States helping those that need it, regardless if it helps "you". And the Boomer generation, despite being raised by The Greatest Generation, lost site of helping others decades ago.

Oh shut the......

You are so full of shit parroting such bullshit from the trump campaign.
Any actual delay would be on the party in charge, but facing facts has never got in the way of your post right?


Instead of bitching and moaning he had 4 years to fix the problem.
Not a single fucking bill got through Moscow Mitch and the WH blockade. Why not?

Even the Cheddar Network is dogpiling on Trump!

Looking at the bigger picture, a blue wave would create new winners and losers on Wall Street.

For instance, oil-and-gas companies, private prisons, student lenders and some banks could underperform because of the risk of new regulation. High-tax stocks that benefited from Trump's corporate tax cut could get punished, too, but companies that would benefit from increased spending on infrastructure, education and clean energy could outperform.

Yep. I could live with that. Could you?
