It seems what many of the Democrats (particularly in the press/media) forgot is that most Americans want safety & security (and they actually like it when government provides that and do not like it when the govt does not).
Covering for the riots, violence, property destruction (and claiming its "peaceful protests") creates a sort of "wag the dog" scenario (the country is in a state of crisis, almost like being on the brink of civil war). This turns people (even some Democrats) off from the Democrat party and favors Trump. The left-leaning media is making a serious miscalculation by covering for anarchist mob behavior.

Seems like yesterday when the Democrats mocked and laughed at Mitt Romney for saying "Russia 'without question our number one geopolitical foe'." I'm surprised huffpo left this story up, but here's your unbiased left-leaning source. www.huffpost.com/entry/mitt-romney-russia-geopolitical-foe_n_1380801Also, it appears that Democrats weren't very anti-Russia until Trump entered politics - and they saw Trumpster and Putti buddying up, shaking hands, smiling in videos together. GW and his team had an actual strategic plan, not just rhetoric and politicizing the issue, to deter Russian invasions into eastern Europe, through joint agreements with those countries (bordering Russia) to build missile defense bases along their borders. Guess who dismantled this plan as soon as GW left office. btw, I'm not saying GW's plan was right... just saying look at the historical facts, when you formulate your opinions on Russia policy issues. Oh well. imo, Mitt was as wrong then (in 2012) as the Democrats are today. Russia is not the number one geopolitical foe. That'd be China.

btw, Zuckerberg is clearly a smart person. He built the company (with his friend) and earned it. But I agree with the article that he's not a great leader. With his blank/robotic stare and lack of emotion, he's possibly autistic. But that isn't his main problem. imo, his main problem seems to be a lack of effort in the leadership capacity.
Just look at Elon Musk. He's also not a great speaker, but he puts in much more effort. Elon puts his face out there and speaks in front of the camera much more frequently. When speaking, he often goes into depth about his company's goals & vision and puts solid effort into interacting with the interviewer/s & audience.

Previously, the left-leaning media outlets' version of the truth was that this form of (mail-in) voter fraud was non-existent or unsubstantial. If their truth was the actual truth and the voter fraud hasn't been a problem (in states like NJ), he's technically not encouraging voter fraud. You can't get people to do something that supposedly isn't possible. He left them with the choice of doubling down and facing the real-life consequences, or accuse him (of what he accused them of.. getting them to tacitly admit it's a real problem). I'm the first to agree that Trump sounds like a bumbling idiot half the time. But this was the move of an evil genius. It seems he knows how to push his opponents' buttons and trick them into taking his side. That's what makes the Trump/Thanos parody so hilarious, imo. As events play out, there appears to be some sort of method behind the lunacy. It's alot like watching reality tv, except with the media talking heads, elites, and political leaders taking center stage.

I have been avoiding this thread on purpose because the election is so close and I was sick of talking about Trump. When the Roast of Donald Trump aired the only insult that got him was people saying he wasn't a billionaire, it so obvious that he never has been. Trump is a trust fund kid who has wasted Daddy's Money for decades. Watching his supporters twist these new revelations about his taxes has been entertaining. Somehow this wildly successful billionaire only paid $1,500 in federal taxes for 2 years? He has hundreds of millions of dollars in loans coming due and is hoping to use the office of President to weasel his way out of paying them back. Its like watching Ponzi or Madoff be President. www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/09/27/us/donald-trump-taxes-timeline.htmlYou know whats really sad? I read once when Ponzi was arrested his supporters demanded the government release him so he could make them rich, even after he was deported till their dying day some of his supporters kept the certificates Ponzi issued because "someday" he was going to make good on his promises.

I wouldn't bet on it (the data that's available), because that's probably not the whole picture. It's likely that he keeps much of his assets & cash hidden overseas for lower taxes. Most tech giant corporations, with so-called liberal CEO's, like Apple have done this too. So it's kind of tough to nail Trump without nailing them also. The Dems wouldn't be inclined to do so (and instead focus on Trump's domestic portfolio) since most of Dem's funding comes from left-leaning billionaires (who are using the exact same tricks & legal loop holes to skirt on paying their fair share of taxes).

To be fair, I don't think Trump actually ever told anyone to inject disinfectants but he asked if that was something that could be done, I was actually watching it live when he said that. I stopped and went, "wait did he really just ask that?" People on average, especially in this country, are dumb and on autopilot for the most part. When their president starts asking about injecting or ingesting disinfectants, there's gonna be morons out there who will do it, just because the president said something about it. Just like they're all still crying that the pandemic is a "democrat hoax" just because Trump used those words (which he didn't even believe himself).
Like that couple who ate fish tank additive pills (which said on the package not to eat them) just because they had that hydroxychloroquine in them. I think one of them died and the other almost died.
One thing I have noticed about Trump (aside from having a lack of humility), I have never once heard him tell the American people to take care and follow guidelines or anything. Also he needs to stop blaming Obama for stuff going on now, Obama hasn't been president for a long time. Everything that the current president does/says now and its causes and effects are all on him. Also I could be wrong, but I remember the country being much more united when Obama was president, then seems like Trump drove a wedge right into that just out of spite. As far as I can tell, the only problem that anyone had with Obama being president was simply the fact that he's not a white man.

As far as I can tell, the only problem that anyone had with Obama being president was simply the fact that he's not a white man.Obama did a better job of calming the nation vs. Trump. I don't argue that point. But... ..there were race riots, crisis on the border, and other shit during the Obama presidency. I even recall Obama giving a speech following the murders of several Dallas police officers (during the race riots - it was on tv at the time, showing gas stations, shops being looted and burned, very similar to what's been happening lately). In the speech, Obama told Americans that the Dallas PD were doing everything right and that Americans should cease the violence. Subsequently, some people in black communities were calling Obama an "Uncle Tom." So good on Obama for calling on people to end the violence and enduring criticism from black communities, unlike many of the Democrat Governors and Mayors of today (who've overlooked the riots and/or dismissed them as "peaceful protests", told their police to stand down, and allowed peace-loving Americans to suffer). Trump is very brash and could've handled it better for sure. But it's also the media, at least in part. The mainstream media downplays or ignores the negative shit that occurred during Obama's terms as president (which calmed people) and amplifies the negative shit during the Trump presidency (further angering people). Obviously, that's not a denial that bad things are happening during the Trump presidency. It's merely admission of the fact that bad things, including America having race wars/riots, happened during Obama's years too and how the media massively influences public opinion. Also, Obama's foreign policy mirrored Bush Jr's in some ways and that's not a good thing. Besides the endless wars in the Middle-East (even escalating shit in some countries like Libya, Syria, Pakistan), most notable was the continuation of the Patriot Act.. spying on Americans and America's allies, like Germany's Angela Merkel. That's some nasty business spying on our supposed closest allies and it's very destructive to foreign policy. As you might recall, the Snowden leaks occurred during Obama's presidency and many EU leaders were pissed when they found out Obama (supported and continued the NSA's massive spy program). Of course, it started under Bush Jr - at least, on the massive scale where every phone call, email, etc was being recorded and could be easily accessed by US govt agencies, so it's not a recrimination solely against Dems or Obama either. It appears that the mainstream media has scrubbed the data and painted their own narrative of Obama's presidency, since I only found info on the race riots (during the Obama years) from a Conservative source. www.breitbart.com/politics/2014/08/11/5-race-riots-in-obamas-post-racial-america/

Where Trump dropped the ball on the pandemic was lack of early containment because, same as the rest of us, he believed the CCP's and the WHO's early claims (up through January/February, when they were saying that the virus wasn't very contagious and contained within China). Also, China and Democrats deserve their share of the blame for calling Trump a "racist" when he called to restrict travel from China (which he did, once it started to become apparent that China & WHO were lying, and the virus was actually spreading globally).

Some would consider that a racist statement. Not saying you're racist. Just sayin', people are sensitive and easily offended these days. It's definitely not PC to talk about. But this idea (what the Nazi is saying and your acknowledgment of such) is scientifically accurate. I know because, early in college, I was a pre-med (A student) and I took Biology I & II (for science majors). Part of the course work involved population studies (i.e. the statistics of species population growth). A species that reproduces the fastest inevitably replaces the slower reproducing species (species that fill the same niche, that is). Of course, we're talking about race (not species), but the same concepts apply. The discussion came up in class too, when a student questioned the prof, doubting the existence of proto-humans and Neanderthals. The Biology prof replied that, in the future, there will be Biology classes without any white students and the (future) student/s questioning their prof (doubting) that white people ever really existed. lol. The evidence bears that out as well.. Neanderthals existed for a very long time and weren't snuffed out until humans evolved (more complex language, partnering with wolves/dogs to vastly improve hunting prowess, better tool-making which passed down through generations since our language/communication became advanced enough to do so) - we figured out how to grow our population faster than Neanderthals and so they went away. I noticed that the writers of the newer planet of the apes movie are educated about the science of population studies.

Correction (after looking at the stats).. Statistically, the black populations in the US hasn't been growing much. I read that the abortion rate is actually highest among the black population. So it appears, ironically, that progressive ideology and laws have effectively contained black population growth more than Nazis/white supremacist/racism could ever dream of. Statistically, it's the other minority populations (non-black, non-white) that have been growing, particularly the latino population. Generally, Mexican latinos are Catholic (which strongly opposes birth control and abortion). I understand they're not a mono-cultural borg and there are exceptions, like Svper once told me. But they're ~82% Roman Catholic, so it's still a significant demographic (that definitely plays a role in population growth) any way you slice it. www.cia.gov/library/publications/resources/the-world-factbook/fields/401.html#MX

I'm not surprised. There has been "never Trump" Republicans since the start of Trump's political endeavors. Trump's simply too anti-establishment, he wants to run the country like a CEO (issuing orders, rather than operating through usual political channels). So most elitist & Republican politicians don't like his leadership style either. For example, the Republicans as a party, would not have changed policy & trade towards China. That's Trump's doing. It's probably not all about protecting American jobs (that's just his line to get more votes). Trump's a real estate tycoon, obviously, and keeping real estate prices up in the U.S. means boosting the U.S. economy. Therefore, his trade policy with China is in his best (business) interests.
