lordy their an ugly bunch

Leonard Cohen's Estate refused to grant the RNC permission to use his song "Hallelujah" at their convention. Trump used it anyway. And in the most disgusting way. Cohen's estate is exploring legal action but said they would have considered allowing Trump to use another award winning song of Leonard's "You Want It Darker". Now that would have been the perfect song. Should be Trump's theme song.

No wonder that thing is going nuts today. 😂



Trump’s approval rating has dropped 5 points in two days according to the latest You Gov polls (RV).

August 26:
44% Approve
54% Disapprove

August 28:
39% Approve
60% Disapprove

OK. One more poll from today.
USC/Dornsife (LV)

Biden 54%
Trump 40%

It does not appear the mandarin menace got a post convention bounce. Who would have thought bloviating about death and destruction was not the best strategy?

6 out of 10 Americans are sick of this shit! and 4 love the taste of it.

yahooooooo hooooooooooo lololol dance with me to a SOUL TRAIN THEME " DUMP THE TRUMP ohhhhh BABY DUMP THE TRUMP ~ ~ WAVE BYE BYE AH HUH WAVE BYE BYE "

Granted this was from 4 days ago, but if anything can convince you to get out and vote and that EVERY vote counts this should be it....:hangloose:

Too many shit eaters for comfort.
Too close. We need a decisive victory or I am afraid Trump and his people (and I use the term loosely) will find a way to steal the election.

Debates!
 

Moderators for the Presidential and Vice-Presidential debates have been announced. I think it sounds pretty good. They each only have one moderator. I am not familiar with Steve Scully from C-SPAN but the others I am. Chris Wallace is from FOX but tends to ask tough questions. I can't wait!

Presidential Debates

September 29, Chris Wallace - Fox
October 15 (townhall-style) - Steve Scully - C-SPAN
October 22 - Kristen Welker - NBC

Vice Presidential Debate

October 7 - Susan Page - USA Today

I'm a Canadian and I guess it doesn't matter...but SHIT, can't the Democrats even rouse anyone who's got nothing to fucking lose.. like me ?????

If you can't win this election, you don't deserve to govern.

Who the Hell is running your election campaign???? I'm a little old lesbo in Canada and I could do a a fucking better job.

Stop wth the gentle , kind, we are there for you bs and BE THERE. Stop with those "Yes, the Reps. are right but here are the details you should understand" bs . People don't read or listen to sentence #2... you're dead before the end of sentence 2.

[B]Someone needs to put Biden on ice until the election is over and then defrost him in time to take office .

Until then, let the Dem dogs loose so they can rip the throat out of that hateful demagogue. This is no time to be "nice"... You'll have another 20-30 years to be "nice"... by then, you'll have figured out that supporting Fascists sucked the life out of you and left nothing except benefit for those who never gave a moment of care for foolish, sucker, stupid, you.

Our country's governing and elected officials have always been and most likely will continue to be, corrupt. This administration though, has turned our thinly veiled democracy into a mockery and circus. It's despicable at best. The only hope is that we can find some semblance of what was once known as normalcy and try to get back to the business of living the "American Dream". For giggles sake, has anyone here ever actually found that dream to be a reality? I'm just looking forward to the day when I don't have to see, hear or read a trump name anywhere in my world.

Postnote: The flipside of all this absurdity is the civil unrest and hopeful subsequent change that seems all to near, to clean up this country's shameful stain of hatred and racism. And much to trump's chagrin, that will ultimately be his legacy.

I guess you missed Biden's speech in Pittsburgh the other day where he completely shredded Trump. The campaign is doing just fine in my opinion.

That being the case, why is it that thousands of people, like me, never heard it....and it's not like i'm not trying to hear him.

It's there, but he just can't seem to punch through the fog...so find him someone who can help him do that....That's the job at hand. Someone who can take off the quilted cotton housecoat.

Well, Trump does tend to gobble up much more of the airwaves but I don't see how it's helping him. Yesterday he denied having a series of mini-strokes when no one said that he did and that Biden is being controlled by people in the dark shadows. Um okay.

Today Biden gave a speech where he ripped Trump over his handling of the coronavirus and tomorrow he is visiting Kenosha, Wisconsin. After this Labor Day weekend, he will be traveling more.

The Biden-Harris campaign brought in a staggering $365 million in August. Trump's latest is $165 million in July. The previous one month record was $193 million in 2008 by Barack Obama. People have really been donating a lot ever since Kamala Harris joined the ticket.

HIs national lead is still about the same but some of the swing states appear to be tightening. I'm glad he will be visiting swing states after Labor Day. I also very much look forward to the debates.

Firefighters for Biden! .... and there is a reason!

The Democrats need to take some of that money and get more air time and social media time for Biden and Harris. It doesn't feel like their message is getting out there.

I think political donations should be illegal ~ TV debates should be free ty Neilson ratings ~ Trump doesn't say HOW he is going to do anything but promote hate, anger and division. Biden is going to win ~ like Biden's speech in Pittsburg, Penn. "silent storm " he is a man with class, not a street bully. be quiet and you will hear him.

Yes, this.

This tweet went out from Joe Biden five hours ago:
"Donald Trump and Betsy DeVos are the worst possible people to lead our nation's schools through this pandemic."

I'm no politician or political insider, but I could write more exciting tweets than this.
So can Donald Trump - and that's why he gets re-tweeted and reported on the news all the time.

For starters:

Our nation's SCHOOLS need Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to lead them through this pandemic

Donald Trump's pick Betsy DeVos has NO BACKGROUND in Education, but they think they can get our schools through this pandemic? No Way!

We need smart leaders like JOE BIDEN and KAMALA HARRIS who believe in SCIENCE to get us through this pandemic

Okay that last one is like preaching to the choir, but still.

And, no periods at the end of tweets! Keep up with the technology and the times!

Biden gave an entire speech today on trump’s handling of the Coronavirus and the relationship to schools being able to open safely. He gave a very strong speech on Monday about trump being the one fueling violence. They were both great speeches. He has been very crisp and forceful.


No one is perfect and things can always be improved (although I never want Biden to start tweeting like trump).

I find all the negativity about Biden here to be not accurate or useful in getting people motivated to vote. Fortunately I do have other places that I discuss politics as well.

Trump Encourages Voters To Break The Law

The BBC Radio World Service News

Trump has encouraged voters in NC to attempt to cast their ballots twice - once by mail and once in person to "test" the electoral system. He does not like that so many people can vote by postal mail.

Voting twice in a U.S. election is illegal.

* * *
What about a candidate encouraging crowds of voters to vote twice - shouldn't that be illegal too???
