O/T:- Covid Trump

[drillerpie]

I've seen some people suggest the MSM have suppressed the Biden jnr scandal so that they can bring it out after Biden is elected, which could force or be the excuse for him to make way for Harris, who brazenly tweeted a cartoon a few days ago effectively promoting communist ideals.

I haven't invested much time looking into the Biden emails thing, but if the story doesn't even meet Fox News's editorial guidelines then it's probably safe to say there's 'nothing to see here', but it could be as you suggest.

Anyway I doubt they'll have to concoct a scheme to get Biden out; a couple of cognitive slip ups and the Republicans will probably try and invoke the 25th amendment.

And we on NM are all familiar with the 25th amendment, aren't we?

Nope. This is what it means and not sure the person you responded to was alluding to this 🤔 TWENTY-FIFTH AMENDMENT
Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress

Well summarised. Scary times. Fingers crossed.

The worrying thing is that Trump needs victory more than Biden as he's so many civil and criminal cases awaiting him, not to mention the small matter of $921m of debt coming due in the next 4 years. He'll do basically anything to win, and that should be worrying regardless of any American's political allegiance. Biden losing would just mean he can head to a hopefully peaceful retirement.

ETA: The FBI is investigating reports of millions of fake robocalls in multiple states encouraging people to stay home and stay safe rather than going out to vote.

Absolutely outrageous, but give it a couple of days and it might seem like jolly japes.

This podcast by Sam Harris talks about the Mueller Report in quite a lot of detail, and it doesn't paint a pretty picture for Mr D Trump as a non-incumbent president.

This is about as comprehensive and accurate an eight-minute summary of the situation as you can possibly hear.

Harris is basically saying that Trump’s a ****, but his appeal is that he doesn’t judge you for being a ****.

I hope tonight marks a milestone in the fight back against the ****s.

Not sure that's quite what he meant, but if you can make the leap to thinking that not ALL Trump voters are cruel or stupid, or both, then it's a start towards improving what he calls (correctly in my view) the sanctimonious left.

Well whatever happens, you were right to say it’s close.

Cleverer, more knowledgeable pundits than me can’t work out why people would vote for someone like Trump, so I’m not going to try to analyse it. The guy has just tried to claim victory without millions of votes being counted so how you analyse that I’ve no idea. Owning the libs or something I imagine.

According to the exit poll, Trump did better in 2020 with every race and gender except white men.

Change from 2016:

White Men -5
White Women +2
Black Men +4
Black Women +4
Latino Men +3
Latino Women +3
Other +5"


James Lindsay "If this holds up, it's going to mess with the official institutional narrative pretty badly."

Unfortunately it's looking like a repeat of four years ago - the odds are suggesting that Biden gets most votes, but Trump wins the election.
