The Many Faces of US Politics...

Steve Bannon! Maybe that belongs on the WTF thread.

We have pickup convoys full of armed men, waving flags, radicalised into believing they are doing their Gods Will whilst their spiritual directors call for beheadings of government Officials.
Maybe this belongs on the ISIS thread.

Well I did say that there was no difference between the ideology of Trumpism and the Republican party (there is no difference) and ISIS

There isn't

[J70]

Some GOP dude from PA on Fox right now going on about possible fraud and "shenanigans" and how we "want to believe in the result".

But of course he adds the proviso that he has no evidence of any wrongdoing!

"As we said on July 19th, the American people will decide this election. And the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House," campaign spokesperson Andrew Bates said in a statement.

I was wondering why this thread wasnt polluted and then remembered I used the ignore function - assume he is still polluting it?

Biden is the clear winner - thats a wrap.

There is no evidence of wrong doing in the voting or counting so its time Trump started to pack his belongings.
If not then when the time comes he should be escorted off the premises.

Time gentlemen please......

I think it's very interesting how when Trump supporters refer to the "working class", they only ever mean whites

Never a dull moment in either of them Denn

Even if the Democrats were to win the two Georgia run off seats, I wouldn't be expecting anything too radical to pass (court packing, statehood for DC, PR).  There would only need to be one Democrat to abstain or vote against a piece of legislation for it not to pass.  And there are Democratic senators in mostly red states who would be wary of losing their seats if seen to be voting for anything too extreme.

I don't expect court packing to be even attempted

[LCohen]

I would expect the Democrats have a great chance of taking both GA Senate seats

Then the fun and games will begin, because Joe is going to have to enact a VERY progressive agenda

Democrats are already losing ground in the House and could face a severe backlash in two years at the midterms.

2020 showed us (me anyway) that the Republicans are far from finished.  In spite of everything that was one heck of a turnout for Trump in the middle of a pandemic

Regarding people voting or not voting.....it has been reported that Colin Kaepernick has never even bothered to register....EVER

You don't find this and Trump's conduct all week (and probably to come) even slightly disturbing?

No more disturbing than concocting a fake dossier and using it to spy on an opponents campaign staff

Did you read about what was said in Nancy Pelosis call yesterday.....that would explain (in my opinion) why Trump got such a great vote

Assuming for the sake of argument that what you say is all correct, you're comparing that incident to the complete surrender of almost the entire US conservative movement to becoming an irrational conspiracy movement dedicated primarily to the Trump cult of personality?

I have been saying for years that Democrats were losing the working class vote (and everyone in here completely disagrees with me)

What did Andrew Yang say yesterday?

The girl who cuts my hair and makes no more than $60K a year is a fvckin Trump supporter who lives in a big blue collar town.....I was blown away

Well she owns a 3 family house. None of her tenants work, never have-never will, yet get every handout under the sun and have zero accountability for any of the (bad)decisions they make

She left school at 16-works 10 hours a day, 6 days a week and takes one vacation per year to NH.

So what has Trump done to help her economic or social situation?

That's a great question

Probably not as much as she thinks, but he did cut her taxes by about $1500

It's more nuanced than that though. She told me this story years ago about her tenants selling their food stamps. They all smoke, they all drink, they all have kids who's fathers don't work or pay child support. So when Trump cuts food stamps and she personally knows people who are flat out abusing the system, that's a huge plus for Trump in her book.

How did Trump fund that tax cut?

[armaghniac]

Biden ahead by 22,076 votes in Nevada, the remaining votes are mostly around Vegas which are going 70% to Biden.
Trump caught slightly in Arizona, but but not at a sufficient rate.
Biden to win NV, AZ, GA and PA!
