    This exact thing is so frickin' predictable. Every time Harris attacks Trump, Trump turns around and parrots her. It's the "I know you are but what am I" line of defense and proves yet again (and again) the guy has absolutely nothing to offer. It's straight out of the playground. His claims are laughably obvious, yet his cult lives in an echo chamber and the actual facts of what he says and does outside that chamber never reach the eyes or ears of his cultists. Or if they do see and hear it, they are too ignorant or too far gone for it to register. I'd bet that 99.9% of the voters have already made up their minds and I just wish from here till Election Day the media would impose a complete election blackout so we do not have to keep having this stupid shit (and the stupid shithead selling it) shoved in our faces.....

    I'm a happy contributor to that (and many other anti-Trump) threads. What's your point? Is this some kind of right wing gotcha? Nice try Kevin.

    Hmmm. I see these type of zingers used almost exclusively in a certain place i just cant think of where.
    This sounds about in line with the authoritarian censorship ideology liberals have adopted in recent years.

    In all seriousness though, just turn it all off if it riles you up that bad. You know who you’re voting for so get it done without the bs and distractions from professional agitators.

    Won’t argue with that. But that’s just one of many.

    Good to see you back here.

    Both El Presidente (He retired that name for Lanny) and ABM haven't been around in a bit.

    RIP Lanny. Miss that guy. The anniversary of his passing is coming up next week.

    I think ABM got tired of digging that massive hole he was in.

    Talk about a huge election changing missed opportunity for Trump. If would have gone on stage at MSG and denounced what the comedian said it would have been the biggest story in the last week of the election.

    "Trump stands up for minorities at rally."

    That would have moved a lot of the undecided voters in key areas that he is underperforming in.

    His campaign during this election cycles is reminding me of Hillary's 8 years ago, he's surrounded himself with yes people who only tells him what he wants to hear.

    Teen arrested for waving machete toward 2 women at polling site in Neptune Beach, police say
    The 18-year-old was part of a group of eight young men who were protesting and "antagonizing" people on the "opposing political side," police said.

    [​IMG]

    JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — An 18-year-old was arrested at the Beaches Branch Library in Neptune Beach Tuesday afternoon, as the library was acting as a polling location for early voting in the November election. Police say he was wielding a machete.

    The teen, Caleb James Williams, was arrested on charges of aggravated assault on a person of 65 years or older and improper exhibition of a firearm or a dangerous weapon.

    The Neptune Beach Police Department was called to the library at 4 p.m. They arrived to find eight young males, which included Williams and seven other teenage boys, who were between the ages of 16 and 17.

    Police say the group showed up to protest and "antagonize" people on the "opposing political side." They approached people waving signs on the side of State Road A1A and the confrontation "escalated."

    The Duval County Democratic Party, aka Duval Dems, released a statement where they said the group of young men was carrying Trump flags, and the victims were holding Harris-Walz signs. Their full statement is at the end of this story.*

    This is when Williams brandished the machete, targeting a 71-year-old woman and a 54-year-old woman, police said. Pictures released by police show him waving it in the air.

    "Saying your piece is your First Amendment right, but that goes out the window the second that you raise a machete," NBPD Police Chief Michael J. Key Jr. said.

    But Biden said something dumb. Both sides! Only Trumpers are allowed to insult others.

    Maybe I'm too cynical but you can't for one second think that CNN/MSNBC and the like would have covered the event in that fashion if that's what he had done. They were already calling it a Nazi rally before anyone even took the stage.

    She just hasn’t been able to tell anyone what’s on the list yet, a week away from the election.

    I’m surprised the brooklyn dad poster is still popular after getting outed as a payed political operative LARPing an “average dude” persona. These people are so fake.

    The coverage would have been much better for him if he would have denounced during the rally.

    Jesus man. You KNOW none of this is true. The medias job isn’t to relent if Trump does something right. He would get no credit for doing any of what you said. Here or anywhere else. The thought of it is laughable.

    What’s “laughable” is to think he would even consider doing the right thing. We’ll never know.

    So IF Trump wins, will he be sentenced for what he was found guilty of and tried for the other charges while in office?
