    Geez. You have no nuance. They used cages Obama's administration set up for the same reason.

    Trump got lucky he ran against hilary. Obama would have wiped him with the floor and sent him to Russia.

    They have nothing on him, so you will never get him.

    Its a leftist delusion to think otherwise.

    This is one of the best & most straightforward explanations of what is happening that anyone will find. It should just be reposted again & again until the ignorant either get the message or shut up.

    My only edit would be to add Arizona to the 'early count' states because it is a really good example - something like 75% of the vote dropped the moment the polls were closed, swinging it massively for Biden. Since then Trump has steadily gained ground due to in person voting...as in Florida & Ohio but thus far wiht less success.

    Thank you for your patience. Mine is close to exhausted.

    There is a good chance Biden 2016 version would have beaten him comfortably too.

    Pence has risen well above any job he is qualified for. A man who proposed that women should have a foot long probe inserted into them against their will isn't fit for high office. He will crash out early in the primaries if he runs.

    Pence will have the primary support of the Evangelicals and the supporters of the biggest LOSER-in-Chief in the bag which will put him out front for the primaries.

    Unless there is a strong MODERATE Republican capable of UNITING the GOP instead there is not really anyone else to challenge him successfully.

    As far as drywall is concerned it is demanding that you restore it's good name after besmirching it with that comparison. ;)

    Nope!

    There is no valid comparison for that baseless whataboutism.

    There was NO nefarious policy by the Obama administration but INSTEAD just a response to a massive influx of UNACCOMPANIED children seeking asylum.

    What the biggest LOSER-in-Chief did was a DELIBERATE and INTENTIONAL Crime Against Humanity.

    First of all nuance is hard to come by after 4 years of Trump. Second, Obama's cages were temporary holding areas designed to provide separate areas for boys and girls during the surge of unaccompanied children while being processed to go to the HHS people. Trump used the cages to separate children from their parents. I do hope you can see a difference between secure areas for kids better described as fenced off areas rather than cages and detention areas of children taken from their parents for indefinite times. Some still are missing their parents.

    You are underestimating the MISOGYNY that runs rampant through the extreme rightwing.

    Not at all. I think Pence's plan to legalize rape will increase his popularity, but nowhere near enough. The Party of Trump doesn't want a boring machine politician, no matter how much they despise a wonam's right to her own body. Trumpers want someone who behaves more like their cult leader. Pence doesn't fit thebill. he was only ever there to make it look like thre was a 'sober' politician alongside Trump. That was always an illusion & his usefulness is exhausted.

    Asking from abroad.
    Teachers.
    In the UK, through this crisis even, they are constantly trying to recruit teachers. There always seems to be a chronic shortage.
    Is there an oversupply of qualified teachers in America?
    BTW I think teachers are super cool in the main, people underestimate the difficulties of the job, and if they once went to school themselves a lot of people think they are experts about teaching.

    That was one state with one issue. No magic bundles of ballots appearing every morning at 4 am all going to Biden. Not people being handed out sharpies for their ballots. Not votes for one candidate being tracked for the other candidate like what happened in Michigan.. You cant compare the two.

    We are also led to believe that all these Biden supporters did not vote for the same state Senate races....

    ~ If Biden is so popular it is odd the Democrats did not pick up Senate seats . I think so far they gave away more House seats - only gained two so far. Makes no sense.
    Anyway being we have a DOJ that works by appointment only it is unlikely this will be investigated.
    Maybe Alfred Hitchcock can figure this out ... [​IMG]
    ~ Could this be a Democratic Coup D'état ?! :eekeyes:

    Great presidential speeches by Biden VERSUS the agitated Tasmanian devil.

    Also, Trump’s loud mouth got him into trouble, and now, Bannon’s loud mouth;

    Headline; Steve Bannon dropped by attorney in Criminal Case day after suggesting Fauci and FBI Director beheadings.

    I expect that's Republican voters who want to keep their Senator but wanted Trump out.
    Damning really.
    I'm surprised you wanted to bring it up.

    Not hard to figure out. Trump is more unpopular than the down ballot candidates.

    Never mind Alfred Hitchcock, Jacques Clouseau could have worked that puzzle out.

    The entertainment value of this American president farrago is huge.
    Almost enough to take my mind off the verminous Boris Johnson and all the Tory scum over here.
    One bit of hilarity is to observe the sore losers screeching that there is something of the 'left' with Biden and his support.
    There is the doublethink that suggests there is something wrong with socialism when it is everywhere in American society. That bit is beyond parody as Americans use a word they have no idea of it's meaning, but even funnier is the entertainment afforded by losers who can't accept defeat. Defeat to a person who seems as right wing as they come. The irony is brilliant.
    Carry on guys.
