Not sure if Werthless has voted once or twice for a Republican for President, but he's at 50% at most and going lower in November. He's not a partisan, and has been posting a lot of liberal/Dem curious things in here beyond the short term Trump specific stuff. Seems counterproductive to target him?

Not sure what cballs thing with Werthless is. But it's dumb.


I thought that Werthless was female. I swear that there was a conversation on this board a long time ago (years maybe) where someone told me that was the case.

I know it is a typo, but if you invoke a Trump voice you can hear him saying something about 'when he ears' as some sort of bigly BS

after my senior year of high school my family went on a three week European vacation which i chose not to go on. for three weeks i would rule the 'rider household by oneself. while there were a lot of shenanigans that went on and a few police visits, my parents returned in three weeks to find the house NOT burnt to the ground. they were happy and relieved.

that's the same situation i thought the country would be in come this november. the house didn't burn down and the parents would finally return. so close, yet so far away....

@kaitlancollins
News — Stephanie Grisham is out as press secretary. She never briefed reporters during her tenure. She's going back to the East Wing. And a communications shakeup is underway.


Grisham is the 510th person to be fired/resign since the beginning of Trump's administration.

People keep saying that, the bar keeps lowering, and when he is merely adequate it is a win. His 1v1 debate against Bernie was his best effort and it was barely above average. Yet, it played out as a win by conventional wisdom because everyone expected a Warren/Bloomberg.

I honestly though the 510 figure was just an exaggeration for affect until I actually looked at the google doc. Amazing amount of turnover. According to the Brookings Institute, Trump's "A Team" of 65 positions (which is based on the National Journal's "Decision Makers" list) has had 85% turnover through today. He is on his fourth CoS and fifth Deputy CoS; onto his sixth Communications Director; fourth National Security Advisor and sixth Deputy NSA; among many others.

Kayleigh McEnany is not smart. What a rise though from a punching bag on CNN to WH Press Sec. Wonder if she will do a briefing.

Still think Debates are overrated. It seemed like every debate people said Bernie won but it didn't help him at all. People have their mind made up for the most part that watch debates.

I think Clinton was considered the winner of all 3 debates versus Trump.

Since this is a baseball board, I feel compelled to mention that she's married to mlb pitcher Sean Gilmartin

He almost seems schizophrenic there, in that he appears to have two entirely different sentences running simultaneously through his mind and cannot untangle them.

I was talking with an accountant around how his clients are approaching the COVID-19 SBA Disaster Loans. He said that it has some amount of complexity mixed with some strange requirements that seem unrelated. He has been working with a few bankers as that is the best way to deal with banking and the assessment is that the loans are going fast. He expects that ultimately it will be rampant with fraud.

last i know andrew mccarthy and jonathan silverman weren't doing much... just sedate him, put a cap and glasses on him and no one will be the wiser. just roll him out, prop him up, and maybe move his arm up and down every so often. easy double digit victory in november.

that's PREPOSTEROUS

on a totally unrelated note, do you know it only takes about 15 minutes to get a small business license in PA? Woulda been quicker had my internet not dropped in the middle.

And I hope Biden just calls him a coward, using that exact word, over and over and over again.
