2020 US Presidential Election

[lost in melb.]

Stayed up late and watch daughter's speech and trump's from about 30 minutes to the end. Well was certainly a lot more inspirational than the DNC turnstile. Ivanka look like a rock goddess and Trump looked like a crusty old sea dog. The guy can barely stand straight but he's great orator in front of the crowd. About 50% of what he said was complete fluff, but of course it doesn't matter. He means - and believes! - every word.

Suspect next 4 years will be opening the floodgates for the top 40% while putting a stifling distant foot on the screaming bottom 40%. the middle 20% will be like meat in a sandwich thrown into a tumble dryer.

From a local left-centrist rag (quite a different tone from CNN)

Compared to the virtual Zoom meeting that was the Democratic convention, the Republican show was dazzling in style and quite strong in substance, too.

Trump went into granular detail about his first-term agenda, rightfully pointing out that many of the promises he made, he kept.

He pulled America out of the Paris Climate Accord and the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, approved hundreds of conservative judges, moved the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, invested heavily in the military, oversaw the end of the ISIS caliphate, and started building a wall on the southern border.

It's somewhat inconsequential whether his opponents believe these were largely bad ideas. The fact is he delivered them.

Conversely, he portrayed his opponent Joe Biden's 47-year record as a "shameful roll call of the most catastrophic betrayals and blunders of our lifetime" through his support for the Iraq War, his praise for the rise of China and his labelling of Trump's early coronavirus travel ban as "xenophobic".

Biden just said this and I can't believe he did: "Trump took a good economy and drove it into a ditch."



Anyone that honestly believes that are absolute fucking morons.

Now I understand what you mean, babbling on about the banksters. You mean Jews

Now I understand what you mean, babbling on about the banksters. You mean Jews

I've already made my position clear on that - there are many different people involved, jews included. Not anything resembling a substantial percentage of them, of course, and the kneejerk antisemitic meme falls entirely flat with me when I can draw an accurate venn diagram of jews & semites, unlike most people who basically overlap the two. The majority of semites are not jewish so as soon as I see muh Anti Semite, I know I am dealing with someone who has bought into the enemy's language redefinitions.

If you somehow dont think the central banking entities on planet earth have too much power, I'd love to hear you rationalize it

and I'm not racist or religious-ist against them, but if you want to see a shit ton of examples of jewish people on twitter saying wacked out anti white shit as if they're white as if whites should be pro delete the white race. and then turn right around in other tweets saying they arent white whatsoever, I can do that

balls & strikes, the crowd doesnt always agree with how they're called, and some in the crowd would rather that no calls of a certain direction get made at all.

And this is why the left is absolutely paranoid about a Trump/Biden debate.

And this is why the left is absolutely paranoid about doing anything whatsoever in a fair and open manner that isnt dictated and controlled from behind the scenes.

They missed out big with Bloomberg.

[FBD]

They missed out big with Bloomberg.

what we have here is a situation like with hollyweird where an absolute echo chamber has happened, and resulted in an absolute stagnation of ideas because of the underlying current that is entirely against those who would vote for it and everyone who would vote against it, too)

bloomberg....hahaha, that's a good one...he will get caught up also, dont you worry
