If American children were a country, they would have the 47th highest case count percentage in the world, out of 214 countries. (There are 213, but I am positing that they are one, too.)

They'd be between the UK and Switzerland.

And... they are not getting randomly tested.

Well done.

May it also prove effective.

I think the youth of this nation will surprise a lot of people in November and beyond.

I won’t be surprised.

So Joe, say what?
Biden:


And by the way, what you all know, but most people don’t know, unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things.”

(During an interview that aired at the convention of the National Association of Black Journalists and National Association of Hispanic Journalists broadcast by NPR.
8-6-2020)

Where the lie?

Look at voting percentages and it tracks.

LOL!

Well that settles that...

But probably not.
Joe has just started a $280 Million Multi state campaign to shore up the BLACK vote.
Just weeks ago he boasted if you are debating between Trump and me YOU AINT BLACK!
And today he defined the black community as anything but DIVERSE!

Why then the ad campaign?

Because we all know the GOP is going to use every lever of government in their power to make it harder for black people to vote. So if I’m Biden and I can figure on 85-90% of that vote it makes sense for me to get as many of those voters to the polls as I can .

Math, ya know?

Hmmm.

The only effective suppresser of the black vote in 2016 was Hillary.
Biden is going to be worse.
Hence the ad campaign. And the need for a black woman Veep candidate.

You act as if there is something aberrant about making a big push to turn out your party’s base.


And if you don’t know now you know.


When Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 presidential campaign (by 77,000 votes across three big Electoral College states) some folks said it wasn’t because Americans weren’t ready to elect a woman president, they just weren’t ready to elect THAT woman.

Clinton’s loss was initially blamed on low Black turnout, but after having a “Kenyan Muslim Socialist” as president it seems America was ready for ANY white man, and that’s exactly what we got. Trump exemplifies NOTHING of the American Dream of making it by way of one’s own effort. He is almost a mirror-image caricature of the Chauncey Gardner character from the 1979 film “Being There.”

George W had 9-11 to deal with.
Donald Trump has Covid-19 to deal with.
Barack Obama had nothing like those to deal with.

Donald Trump has Covid-19 to deal with.
Barack Obama had nothing like those to deal with.

You don't know that.

In the two instances that you mention, the president in question was warned in advance of the major problem that there was something he needed to pay attention to.

Who knows what Obama was warned of and dealt with before it reached this level of issue.

I guess the economic collapse caused by the Bush Administration was just a minor detail for Obama to come into.

Donald Trump has Covid-19 to deal with.

You don't get credit for having to deal with problems.  You get credit for solving them.

Trump had ample warning to deal with COVID-19  -- and it was an opportunity to look heroic if he did -- but he did not deal with it.

To borrow a sports metaphor: He struck out looking after the catcher told him what pitch was coming.

55 million jobs lost in 20 weeks. You are what your record says you are. He’s a bum. Throw him out.

Trump’s pollsters just realized that Kanye pulls more from trump than he does from Biden.

What a waste of $53,000,000.00

[bodiddley]

Just today:

"(Biden will) Take away your guns, destroy your second amendment, no religion, no anything. Hurt the bible, hurt God. He's against God, he's against guns."

The part I bolded sounds rather crazed, doesn't it?

I like the conflation of God and Guns as the two greatest goods in the USofAmerica.

No idea how you hurt the Bible or hurt God.

So you think just maybe Trump might run a campaign based on FEAR?

My favorite is No Anything!
Sounds pretty nihilistic and scary, huh?

[facilitatorn]

Sounds like a nine year old bully trying to blame it on the other kid, a bully already so unmanageable he’s already being sized up for military school.
