2020 Political Thread

Bill Barr is using the DOJ to try to put his thumb on the scale and influence our election. Unprecedented.

If people are not aware of what I'm referring to, look up the Pennsylvania ballot scandal. Trump knew about it this morning long before the DOJ press release. Why would that happen unless Barr is playing a dangerous game.

The simple fact that they said it was votes for a Trump is very telling.
 
I found this to be an interesting and quite accurate thread. I think it perfectly encapsulates the way the President distorts and manipulates the truth.

This is quite wild...

Trump's 2020 campaign manager who was replaced after the Tulsa rally, Brad Parscale, barricaded himself in his home with a gun. The police were able to get him out somehow and then had him involuntarily committed to a mental institute under Florida's Baker Act.

I know he has to have been under tremendous stress. I hope he is ok.

Absolutely. People should have compassion and empathy for anyone going through such an event.

Never want to see anyone go through something like that. It's a really rough thing especially since mental illness in this country is still seen as a major societal negative. There's a ton of stigma and ridicule attached -- something most people would reject if it were aimed at someone with a physical condition or disease.
 
Trump and Rudi Giuliani claiming that Biden is on drugs and/or has dementia is truly one of the best examples of the pot calling the kettle black I've seen in nearly 40 years on this planet.
 
What an embarrassment for our country.
 
Trump clearly had a mask in his pocket as a prop. Absolutely insane that he then begins to attack Biden for wearing a mask. He simply won't recommend that the American people do what experts and studies show is one of the most effective ways to control the spread of COVID.
 
Trump is such a child. I cannot watch this anymore. It's not a debate. It a psychopathic lunatic ranting.
 
Biden served Trump a softball when he refused to speak out against packing the court and ending the filibuster and Trump couldn't do anything with it. It should have been the theme of the night.
 
Realistically, neither of these men should be President. But one of them is going to be. Listen to your conscience. Who do you think it should be? Who is willing to do the most for you and your family? Who is willing to have empathy for you and your fellow man? Who is most opposed to a divided America and extremist politics? Who has the greatest chance of uniting our people again -- or at least turning down the temperature?

I'm not making a recommendation. I'm asking everyone to ask themselves that question. Your answer may vary. That's OK. Just be honest with yourself. Who will best do those things over the next four years?

That was probably the worst debate I've ever seen. The moderator couldn't manage the situation (which is a bummer because I like Chris Wallace) and there was pretty much no substance with all the ranting and interruptions.
