I know he scares a lot of people, but Trump mostly bores me.  No ideas.  No point in listening to what he says since it's almost impossible to extract the few things that might be true.  He's a typical bully and an attention seeker.  Hopefully, he will soon go back to reality TV which is where he belongs.

Actually, he belongs in prison.  And hopefully he'll end up there.

It's difficult to decide which is more terrifying:  the level of Donald Trump's reality-impairment or the fact that his approval rating is still around 40%.  Rubes.
The Trump base is nothing more than members of a cult not unlike that of Sun Myung Moon or Jim Jones.  They've lost the ability to think for themselves.

This whole “Biden has dementia” thing is going to look very bad.  Not that it matters to the cult but maybe it will chip away at others on the margins.

Charlotte Alter (@CharlotteAlter) Tweeted:
Biden, in an embarrassing senior moment, recites the divergent biological methods of two possible vaccines (molecular structure versus immune system enhancement) and also details the chemical specifics how they have to be stored and transported.

Awkward!

It is happening here.

I can not stress this enough, if you want to know what the rank and file Trump voter is thinking, read the Bears board. It’s extremely alarming but that’s what we are up against this election and beyond.

Clearly there are a number of folks here who are as frightened of Trump being re-elected as I am. After decades of being involved in election campaigns, I made a personal vow some years ago to permanently retire from any campaign activity. Not because I quit believing they were important, but because I was just worn out from that, and didn't have the stomach for that anymore.

I still feel the same way, except that I cannot justify standing on the sidelines in this election, so I am doing phone banking into battleground states several times a week, from home, at times I choose.  If any of you are interested, I encourage you to join me by by going to the following link. You will be able to go through a virtual training, get a script and do it at times you choose, for as long as you choose. Good luck to those who do so.

Thanks for sharing that Ron. With the passing of RBG, the stakes, impossibly, have gotten even higher.

And I'm disgusted that my first consideration is the political implication of RBG's passing, but this is the **** hellacious timeline in which we live.

McConnell plans to hold a vote on a nominee. Hopefully at least 4 Republicans have enough integrity to say they won't vote yes on anyone until after the inauguration. I've already seen tweets saying that Collins and Murkowski have gone on record with reporters recently saying they would not confirm a justice until after the election. I also think Romney probably would like to stick it to Trump.

In another stunning example of why the electoral college must go: 4 of the current justices have been appointed by presidents who lost the vote. If McConnell has is way, it will be 5.

McConnell will have his way. this was his alliance with trump the entire time. the chances of getting 4 republican senators from doing the right thing... is basically zero..

if somehow... a vote is delayed. this is the catalyst to get trump a 2nd term. his voter base is MASSIVELY getting off on this.

Disagree, method. Trump's base is already whipped up about him dismantling the Jewish ped0phile ring that controls the world. The base will follow him into a nuclear holocaust, but it's not going to grow past 43-44%.

Anything that increases turnout helps Biden. That's why the R's are working so hard to suppress it.
