Reporter to Trump:. Why did you call Joe Biden a criminal?

Trump:. He IS a criminal.  You know who else is a criminal?  YOU are, for not reporting it.



Heh.    Lol.

LOL.

The President of our country has threatened to imprison his opponent for political ends and you think it's funny.

Do you believe the report you shared or, as is often the case, were you just being inflammatory?!

And... RCP has another poll which reports a 10.67% lead, but which they show as 10%, not 11%. The two fudged numbers would only change the lead from RCP's claimed 8% to a whopping 8.2%, but still. Their continued placing of a thumb lightly on the scales to favor their candidate is offensive.



Wait - you think RCP favors Trump?


Too funny.

But just for counting purposes, if Biden takes Arizona plus either ME-2 or NE 2, but loses PA, he still wins. And his FL numbers look pretty good at the moment.



Joe's not winning Florida

Pennsylvania - sure.

Just trolling.

I am going to start deleting posts I think are trolling.

I would prefer it not be my judgment that was required, but since you won't be honest about it, it is left to me.

The White House tried to keep the new COVID-positive cases from the public.

FIVE of them, now, in Pence's circle.

So far.

Because of Trump's and Pence's stubborn refusal to accept science. And now, the new position of not trying to control the spread.

White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows acknowledged that the Trump administration can’t stop the spread and is focusing instead on getting a vaccine.

He told CNN’s “State of the Union”: “We’re not going to control the pandemic. We are going to control the fact that we get vaccines, therapeutics.”


Then step aside and let some people who care about American lives try.

Post article gets to the heart of the problem of media magnifying isolated bloopers in the mail voting systems...

As one official points out,  mail voting has an advantage in error correction.   If a ballot mailed weeks in advance has a typo or missing line,  you can remedy it.   On a ballot you are handed at a polling site on election day,  it may not be fixable.   

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/fearful-calls-flood-election-offices-as-trump-attacks-mail-in-voting-threatening-participation-in-gop-strongholds/2020/10/24/831e896e-1474-11eb-ba42-ec6a580836ed_story.html

(....) Jason Stevenson, a spokesman for the American Civil Liberties Union of Utah, said even states with long histories of voting by mail were unable to insulate themselves from narratives about mail balloting emanating this summer from Washington. “I don’t post national stories about the election,” he said.

But a powerful feedback loop has made it impossible to tune out these national controversies. One-off incidents documented by local media are flowing to partisan voices, who use their online megaphones to reframe the details as indictments of the entire balloting process. The misleading narrative applied at the national level then filters back down to voters, causing them to distrust a system they have used for years.

Pence keeps not wearing a mask. Trump insists that masks don't make a difference.

Yes.

They have done a great job with not controlling the pandemic.

I admit it. I am glad to see you finally admit it, too.
