Huge win for progressives!

Nancy Pelosi exposed as a total hypocrite. Hair salloons are closed but political bozos can always have a blow dry at any point they want to :coffee:  And of course she doesn't wear a mask despite accusing Trump of doing the same :wacko: Pathetic.

I still stick to my prediction from last year that Trump will win. But after covid it will be very close (I said easily before).   

 

The further away from pandemic peak the more chances he has. Biden could have won had they been held 1 month ago.

Has Biden actually done anything in the last two months? Even at the convention they had some speeches by random people from home. Trump is all over the news as usual - good or bad - but Biden has gone invisible. That will be a curious way to win an election - by literally hiding away God knows where. I've come across more Nancy Pelosi news in the last two months :p I can understand Biden is afraid of COVID given his age but will he actually show up before November? :mumble:

Germans say Navalny was poisoned by old buddy Novichok.

This only underlines how much Russia is playing their own game while EU & everyone can bugger off (since this happened during the Belarus protests which for once shifted the focus from Putin to Lukashenko).

He’s gone. Completely senile.  Can only read from a teleprinter or Ipad, even when doing TV interviews, which must be carefully scripted in advance.  Cannot answer a spontaneous question.  Even when he is reading, if he loses his place he cannot get it back again or correct himself.  Look at this clip where he loses his place.

Trump isn't really better at that. He's just better at showing confidence while doing so.

Really shows one of the things working for Trump.  The fact that he makes just as much mistakes while talking barely gets any attention.

And that senile thing... He has done it pretty much all his carreer.

Sure, but when Trump does a rally he goes out & does impro for an hour, so naturally it sometimes veers off on a tangent.  It is literally over six months since Biden did a proper campaign event or a press conference.

Well yeah. Someone’s gotta make sure grandpa doesn’t accidentally say something insensitive. He’s not a bad guy, he’s just a little of touch.

 

Difficulty reading could be connected to his stutter. His mental shortcomings are probably part age, and part health issue.

A perfect recommendation for the world’s most important job, then.
