Trump has said that he wants all virus compensation cheques to have HIS signature on them instead of the usual signature of another official.

A psychologist points out that to the electorate it makes him look like the good guy compensating them himself! wink.gif Clever Donald.


Well, he's already surpassed the 9/11 total deaths under that young pretender Bush, when he proudly announced on nationwide TV that his building was now the biggest in New York. His bigly death toll, caused by doing nothing for 2 months, will be on a scale of the Viet-Nam war. Trump: anything anyone can do he can do better, even killing more of his own citizens through inaction and stupidity and selfishness. Still not offering his thoughts and prayers to victims, future victims, or even thinking about them at all (cos they won't be able to vote for him). Their families will be able to though.....

His popularity: 52% of Americans think he's doing a terrible job

48% of Americans think he's doing such a great job they're buying shitloads of weapons ready for the coming apocalypse.

(Not mine that one, but it's a great quote)

So, the self-proclaimed "stable genius" has misstated the population of South Korea's capital city by 28 million people, moments after telling a news conference he knew the country "better than anybody".

He got it from a quick glance at Wikipedia where it has "Elevation: 28m".

Quick glsncr at wiki and you can easily confuse 38 for 28. It id a very specific fake number. It is where he got it from.

The two of you have at least one thing in common. You just HAVE to be right even if you have zero clue just pulling theories out of thin air and dressing them up as facts.

Bernie has been offered the Green Party nomination!! Aftee the DNC stole his nomination and gave it to Sleepy Biden, he should take it.

Also even more rumours that Trump is going to move left of Biden for thr election. Sleepy Joe is toast.

I would prefer Bernie as president over Biden, but since that hasn't been possible for a number of weeks now, this is great news.

If Biden doesn't take up Bernie-influenced policies as a result of this then if I were an American I'd not want to vote for either, still would vote for Biden but he's a piss poor candidate and I wouldn't blame any leftist for abstaining or third-party voting.

Cursed election.

I would not vote for Biden. There is not a chance I would - and especially not after all this manipulation and cheating. Nope. Four more years of Trump and Common Sense and I are kind of on the same side, as I see four years of neoliberal Biden as far more harmful to democracy. It would affirm to the DNC that they can get away with centrist puppets and cheating forevermore. Huh. Funny ol world.

tbh if it was Bernie dropping out to ensure that the other states didn't need to go out and vote in the middle of a pandemic then I can salute that, his campaign had basically been a coronavirus fundraising machine for the past 2 weeks anyway

medicare4all to win despite everything. Given the current situation, if Biden's campaign don't put it in their platform then they're ghouls for the insurance industry and deserve to lose.

As a general rule, the challengers to an incumbent president have been pretty uninspiring in most recent elections. It seems as if the better candidates choose to sit such elections out on the assumption that the incumbent will win and that it's better to wait four years for a better chance of winning. Why waste months of campaigning and huge sums of money on an election you expect to lose and when you expect that defeat to mean you have little chance of winning the nomination again four years later?

Well, that's Trump getting another 4 years then. If Bernie had any sense, he'd use this opportunity to run as a 3rd party candidate to see if there really is a demand for his policies - if he performs better than expected ie notches up a few states and takes quite a few votes off Trump as well as Biden (I do think that there is significantly more Trump voters who would switch over to Bernie than you would think), then it means that going forward, there's a good chance the American duopoly could start to crumble and there's be a greater range of candidates going forward.

Given that just about everyone in the Democratic Party ran this year, I'm not sure what 'better candidates' you would be referring to? laugh.gif

Quite. If that was a phenomenon, it's been put on hold this cycle because of the Democratic party's fervent concern that 'we need to beat Donald Trump', and anyone can start running a presidential campaign on that basis, so nearly everyone did. Conveniently, that means the policymaking team can have a rest and whoever feels like it can have a go, I mean, what else do you need to win a presidential election? Probably nothing, the Trump-hating will do it. It worked so well in 2016 after all.

See I don't think the DNC really think this election can be passed by, there's a real risk that they lose control of the Supreme Court for decades and they probably, certainly at the start, viewed it as an easy chance of getting back in office in 4 years, but they've flubbed it on delivering a candidate.

The issue is more than in a post-Trump world where people who distrust the 'establishment' (surely a majority of Americans) know they can win, a Dem promising only a return to the status quo and to forget this era ever happened isn't going to go down well. At least the Republican Party is acknowledging that the left behind nature of so many American people is legitimate. They're stoking it up with racism and hatred and won't do any good for them in the long run, but at least they're paying attention to them.
