dumbest argument ever

I’m just asking a question. So I take it that’s a no?

it's so sad you think you're clever

I was asking a question because this was news to me. Biden, being a more centrist, may have said something about people that have already paid off debts. Probably not, but was curious. I don’t venture into the politics threads often. This is why. God forbid you have a differing opinion on anything that isn’t liberal.

The absolute marginalization/hand waving away of the black vote is astounding. It was the DNC, not a huge portion of the democratic electorate that did it!!


I realize this guy is a fucking caricature but if Democrats are the "arch enemy of humanity", what does that make Republicans?

The depressing part is that millions and millions of people will continue to vote for Republicans, despite the naked corruption, the staggering incompetence, and the clear lack of intellectual capital in the party. Assuming Trump loses in November, the last two Republican administrations will have ended with many dead Americans and an economic catastrophe. In return, rich people got a tax cut. Part of this is the political ineptitude of the Democrats. Instead of linking Trump and Bush as two of a kind, they've rehabilitated W as some kind of decent guy who paints pictures and pals around with Michelle. They'll probably do the same thing with Trump when the next Republican becomes president.

Saw one of those actual fake news channels (OAN maybe) has a series about the "Trump Dynasty". I saw they were doing back to back episodes with the first one lionizing Fred Sr. and the second the glory of the election. Absolutely terrifying.

“For those who want to criticize me for lack of quarantine, realize that if the rules on testing had been followed to a tee, I would never have been tested and would still be walking around the halls of the Capitol. The current guidelines would not have called for me to get tested nor quarantined. It was my extra precaution, out of concern for my damaged lung, that led me to get tested."


Fuck You.

Barr as going to talk about price gouging as far as I know, so that makes him sort of relevant. I want to know white scarf women who is dead inside is there.

also, unlike Mike pence who has coronavirus and is an ICU unit in a secret location, barr still doesn't have it.. JK

I'm confused. Did Trump just thank Greg Abbott and the private sector for bring Americans back from Brazil? Where is the State Department?

I'm reassured now.

Another former West Wing official told me: “Trump is like an 11-year-old boy waiting for the fairy godmother to bring him a magic pill.”
