    If I actually had any sisters, I'm sure they would, or they'd say that they "don't do miniatures".

    Trump spent day rage tweeting about why his opponents haven't been thrown into prison and all caps proclaiming Democrats want to shut down churches permanently. Hard to tell what is Trump and what is steroids.

    Pence was Trump without the psycho. Interrupting, going over time limits, refusing to answer moderator's questions while demanding Senator Harris answer his, lying, and a dose of warmed over conspiracies.

    Every woman knows him. The one who talks over us and condescendingly tells us what we should be talking about. The one who interrupts a woman reading on public transit to critique her book, which he clearly hasn't read. The one who interrupts two women lunching together to mansplain their conversation to them.

    The self important bore endlessly droning on and on, not realizing his fly is open while every woman is strangling herself trying to keep from laughing. Only this time it was fly in the hair.

    And Mother went onto the stage without mask to prove her fealty to Trump.

    His character cherry picked 1 poll out of every other poll, that painted a positive picture for Trump. A while ago, if you went to 538, there was a few polls that predicted Trump winning.

    Thing is, he knows he's not going to win Oregon, but if he can sew doubt and confusion about the rest of the country, he finds it entertaining.

    Sure, there is a chance Trump can win the election. Anything can happen over the next 4 weeks. But at this point, he's just saying things to say things, knowing full well that it's going to get a reaction from some of the board. If Joe wins, I don't think it'll be that big of a win. And if Trump wins, it'll probably be a squeaker that is tainted.

    It's just best to ignore him, and realize that it's just a character he's playing and that's not his real true feelings (that's actually true of a few people on here). It's a sad existence to be honest.

    How soon until the Trump administration starts sending ballots to the millions of shit loving flies that obviously buy their output? (as shown by last night's debate).

    What is all this talk of bias? This isn't a Republican/Democrat thing. This is an objectively bad and disruptive person pile-driving our country in every conceivable manner. The fact that EVERY network doesn't just rail on the bad is incredible to me. Not a day goes by that he doesn't do or say the worst and least presidential thing a president has ever done or said.

    I am not a Joe Biden fan, but he'd have to orchestrate an actual Pizzagate to even approach the debauchery and vileness of Trump. There are millions of angles here, but let's go Jesus because somehow in the YEAR 2020 (wtf!!!!!!) we are still talking about him...

    Many Republicans are Jesus loving types. I know the seven deadly sins are not in the Bible but they are certainly a fundamental belief system in the Christian faith. So let's take a look in regards to Trump...

    1. Lust: I think there are 26 accusers, but even if they are zero, even if Stormy is lying and "grab 'em by the..." was a deepfake, this is clearly a theme in his life.
    2. Gluttony: that fat mcdonald's eating fuck.
    3. Greed: golden couches, columns, money, money, money. He's defrauded, cheated, lied just to get what he can...admittedly
    4. Sloth: Trump believes we are like batteries, ie we have a finite amount of energy. Therefore, no exercise.
    5. Wrath: Uh, yeah. Should go without saying, but see: the obsession with Hillary or Obama...
    6. Envy: It's pretty well documented that Trump feels on the outside of the elite in this country, a place he longs to be. Although, even when occupying the highest office in the land, still an outcast. Sad.
    7. Pride: Most of these go without saying, but this one especially, although it's clearly a false pride. He is the best at everything, knows the best, hires the best, can remember 5 words and identify an elephant, the list goes on and on.

    We could do this all day. BUT back to my argument: Trump deserves no filters. He is a reprehensible person and should be shown as such. Bias, pshaw. The national media has gone waaaaaaaaaaay too easy on him. And the Christians that support him--his rickety base--should have their hypocrisy (like the above seven deadly sins), rubbed into their faces and shoved down their throats and not be coddled like they are somehow immune to reprimand. The real attack on their beliefs is their embrace of Trump.

    (I respect Christians that see and call out what he is because, while I really really really really don't walk that path, I respect people that hold to their principles.)

    Here's where we part ways. There is zero, not virtually zero, but zero chance of Trump winning this election even in the Electoral College. This is going to be one for the record books. Oh, Biden won't win in a record in the Electoral College, too many stupid states, but by popular vote margin.

    Female reporter on CNN criticized Pence for repeatedly interrupting both women. Rick Santorum interrupted her.

    Trump's Corrupt Schemes Keep Blowing Up:

    "When you step back and survey the last two years of U.S. politics, one of the biggest story lines that comes into view is this: One after another, a whole string of deeply corrupt schemes that President Trump has hatched to smooth his reelection hopes have crashed and burned. In all these cases, Trump has either blown up the schemes himself or compounded the damage they did to him when they self-destructed. In some cases he did both. Meanwhile, Trump has also managed to wreck numerous opportunities that he could have easily turned to his political advantage if he had reacted to them in a non-depraved manner. Instead, he sought to pervert or corrupt them in ways that ended up backfiring.

    When you view these things in one place, the true scale of Trump’s commitment to winning the election through corrupt means becomes a lot more striking. And, since many of them are doing great damage to the country, his sheer destructiveness also comes into much sharper relief.

    Let’s take these in reverse chronological order
    :

    * " Trump’s vaccine scheme implodes. The White House has now agreed under political duress to the Food and Drug Administration’s guidelines for vaccine trials, after trying to block them for weeks. The FDA timetable requires a median of two months to pass after participants in vaccine trials take their final dose, all but scuttling authorization before the election.

    Trump had repeatedly tried to rush the process to boost his reelection. This made it politically more damaging: It forced many stakeholders (the biotech industry, administration scientists) to loudly demand an uncorrupted process, reverse-spotlighting his own corruption
    ."
    ************************************************************

    Trump blows up stimulus lifeline. Trump angrily terminated talks over a new stimulus package on Tuesday, only to abruptly reverse course and tweet out demands that Congress approve aid to the airline industry and direct cash payments to individuals.

    Signing a big stimulus would have delivered a political boost. Trump knows this: He corruptly insisted on putting his signature on a previous round of checks. Now Trump has placed himself on the hook for killing desperately needed aid just as the economy further tanks, while also reminding voters of his tendency to try to make complex, consequential policy via erratic, ineffective, self-contradictory rage-tweeting
    .
    **************************************************************

    Trump wrecks public goodwill toward himself. When he tested positive for the coronavirus, he might have seized the moment to admit error; to show humility and humanity toward its victims. Instead, he launched a display of megalomaniacal propaganda that cast his supposed personal triumph over the virus as a function of his alleged strength, insulting the dead and bereaved.

    His cultish theatrics for supporters outside the hospital needlessly put others at risk. And now Trump is still resisting further protective protocols in the White House, even as the coronavirus spreads among his top advisers. All this just reminds Americans of his reckless handling of the virus all throughout
    .
    ****************************************************************

    Amy Coney Barrett implicated in coronavirus event. When Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died, observers proclaimed Trump had an opening to change the subject from coronavirus. But when Trump introduced his replacement nominee at last weekend’s largely mask-free White House event, it may have infected at least eight people with the virus, including two GOP senators.

    This is the direct result of Trump’s depraved requirement that all Republicans treat the virus either as no biggie or as largely vanquished by his spectacular leadership, and that they act this out by shunning social distancing, putting their own lives at risk
    .
    ******************************************************************

    Efforts to corrupt vote-by-mail backfire. Trump and Attorney General William P. Barr have spent months telling all kinds of lies about vote-by-mail fraud, to lay the groundwork for Trump to declare victory just after Election Day, while seeking to delegitimize millions of uncounted mail ballots.

    But the telegraphing of such corrupt designs has helped spur an enormous amount of early voting and early mail-balloting, in which Democrats have a large registration advantage, as Republicans warned would happen. Experts say this will help avert the massive mail-voting overload around Election Day that could have produced delays Trump hoped to exploit
    .
    *******************************************************************

    Trump’s “law and order” agitprop tanks. Trump’s top law enforcement and national security officials used their positions to lend official credence to largely manufactured impressions of a full-scale, organized, violent leftist terror threat, in keeping with Trump’s campaign narratives.

    But a Department of Homeland Security whistleblower helped disrupt this effort by revealing that higher-ups had pressed for the manipulation of intelligence to bolster that story line. And polls have since shown Biden favored on crime and safety, surely because voters grasp that Trump is actively working to foment violent civil conflict
    .
    **********************************************************************

    Hunterghazi” flops. Trump and his propagandists spent months teasing major revelations about Joe Biden’s son Hunter, while openly banking on a transparently phony GOP Senate investigation to manufacture illusions of Biden corruption.

    But that probe’s final report was a buffoonish bust. And all the hype only drew more attention to the profound corruption of demanding such blatant perversion of the congressional investigative process
    .
    **********************************************************************

    Which brings us to … impeachment. Let’s not forget that Trump’s zeal to manufacture such Biden corruption led him to try to strong-arm a foreign ally under extreme duress into announcing investigations that would validate those narratives, for which he was impeached.

    That’s a reminder that Trump has been working to place the levers of government at all levels at the disposal of his reelection campaign for upward of two years now. In retrospect, the Ukraine scandal set the template for all the corruption that would follow — and for his accompanying string of miserable failures to get away with it as well

    I certainly respected Magic Johnson as a player, when did I say anything beyond that?
