Trump will find an utterly idiotic way to lose the night. If he’s in the same room as Biden, trump needs to be in a bubble tent to contain his infection. Trump is a sick freak on top of being a terrible person bent to bring out the worst all around him.

No guarantee that Trump will agree to be tested prior to the debate. If not, it's a no Joe.

On Trump.

Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis and Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean C. Logan responded to the suspected arson fire at a Southern California ballot box, calling the incident “an attempt to disenfranchise voters and call into question the security of our elections.”

The L.A. County Registrar’s office has requested an investigation through local law enforcement and reported the incident to the FBI and the attorney general for investigation and to obtain all available footage to determine the cause of the fire, the registrar’s office said in a statement.

Good news from Penn.

Another decision in favor of the democratic process.   Thank you,  John Roberts for rejecting the petition for emergency stay.

Now let’s see if they want to diddle about with his tax returns or just leave it to NY.

The Liar-in-Chief asserts that "we're way ahead of where we were in 2016."

"I couldn't care less" if a reporter told the public what Trump said about Dr. Fauci.

MacFarland, who retired in 2018, said he had contacted the campaign to have his image removed from the ad but that his request "was denied with the assurance it was completely legal because of the disclaimer at the bottom of the ad and because my name tag has been blurred."
The Biden campaign includes an endorsement disclaimer in its campaign ads featuring images of the military or service members. The disclaimer in this spot reads, "The use of U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) visual information does not imply or constitute endorsement by the U.S. military, any military personnel, or the Do


Heh

The initial response from Biden campaign.  What a bundle of fucktards

Asked about MacFarland's statement, a spokesman for the Biden campaign said it would honor his request moving forward


Well, how decent of you.

But you have had no issue with Trump's use of.military, or Dr. Fauci. Never change kiid.

Or his use of the DoJ to work for family members.

Speaking of the DoJ, we have this hilariously outrageous claim:
https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/19/politics/trump-jean-e-carroll-lawsuit/index.html

Trump was speaking officially when he denied the rape allegation of Jean Carroll.

Hahahahahaha! I don't think even this court will swallow that bullshit. Certainly not if any of those who vote that way wishes to ever be given a shred of credit for jurisprudence again.

When I think of the abuses of capitalism, I often picture the wealthy execs of GM enjoying a lavish company Xmas Eve party, while laid off ex-GM employees are being evicted from their homes at the very same time not too far away.  Merry Xmas.

Or think of Walmart paying below poverty wages so that many of their full-time employees also need to collect food stamps in order to survive.

Or business execs with $1000 gold-plated garbage cans complaining about government waste.

Nice fiction.

All documented.
Never watched Roger & Me?

Plenty of reports of Walmart workers needing gov't assistance to feed their families; hell it was believed to be intentional Walmart policy to pay a non-living wage that the gov't would top up.  this from a company with multi-billion profits.  I can find a link if desired.

The $1K gold-plated waste baskets were iirc disclosed in an Enron recounting.
(I made up the bitching about gov't waste, but my father and other GOP leaning folks often complain about gov't waste, so I conjoined those).

Hope Trump blows off the debate.
No idea why Biden is willing to go ahead with another debate.

Trump gave Biden plenty of reasons to cancel.
First off, Trump wouldn't follow the rules in the 1st debate and kept interrupting and ruining the format.  Moreover, Trump likely didn't alert anyone that he had or liekly had the virus prior to the debate.  And his whole entourage refused to wear masks.  All in violation of the debate agreement.

Biden could have simply said he doesn't want to risk catching the virus from Trump or his circle.  And the Trump people don't follow any of the debate rules prior or during the virus.  So Biden won't participate.

Another debate can only benefit Trump.  Biden already well ahead.  No reason to risk it.  No reason to give Trump a potential lifeline.

Another debate can only benefit Trump.  Biden already well ahead. 

The reason is that another Trump performance anywhere close to the last one will re-extend Biden's lead, increasing the chances of getting the 52+ US senators needed for a true majority (because of Manchin and Sinema, who voted with Trump half the time). It increases the chance of getting a win on the night of November 3 or during November 4th.

Even if he agrees and Trump either refuses because of rule changes or fails to get the test prior to the debate, as required, it is a win, if not as good as another Trumpish performance.

The risk of Trump's suddenly turning on a rational being and coping with his mic's being turned off when he wants to interrupt is pretty small, though non-zero.

Rush Limbaugh’s cancer is getting worse. He’ll probably drown in the runoff from his colostomy bag. It would be a fate far to good for him considering all his “contributions” to society.

It is now time for every patriotic American to stuff dead cats into the ventilation ducts Of every republican campaign office around the country.

Get lice, fleas, bed bugs, and maggots into the offices and into republican operatives and candidates’ homes and vehicles.

If you are serving them food sneeze on the food - if you can’t get away with pissing on it.

Bring large sized rare earth magnets into their offices and rub up against their computers.

Ratfuck these bastards till both their will and their power is broken.
