Can I change my ballot and vote for Miss Anime Chick instead?

30 ( +32 / -2 )

Maybe, just maybe, 2020 won’t be all bad after all....

16 ( +24 / -8 )

This nightmare won't be over for awhile.

They'll have to drag Trump out of the White House because he's fighting for his freedom.

He knows that he could be the first president to go from the White House to the Big House for insurance fraud, and he can't pardon himself.

Good Lord, I'm tired of these years of nonsense.

29 ( +35 / -6 )

Who's the third candidate on the right hand side?

10 ( +11 / -1 )

So after a few days break, I’m back. Tip of the hat to my detractors, it was much closer than hoped.

2 ( +6 / -4 )

To say that the contraction in the House and a failure to flip the Senate are disappointing is to die the term injustice.

4 ( +5 / -1 )

And yet, Trump loses. He’s going to try in the courts, he’s going to fail. Biden is going to win the the popular vote. Joe Biden is going to (by much less than I hoped) win the Electoral College vote.

Claims of voter fraud are ludicrous and without evidence.

16 ( +20 / -4 )

In Pennsylvania, Biden moved ahead of Trump for the first time and had a lead of 13,371 votes by midday Friday, while in Georgia, he was 1,579 votes ahead. Both margins were expected to grow as additional ballots were tallied. Pennsylvania officials estimated on Friday they had 40,000 ballots left to count, while Georgia officials said on Friday morning there were around 4,000 regular ballots remaining.

These side by side pictures of the candidates and the vote tallies should have a subtitle under it like they had for the Alien vs. Predator movies :

Whoever Wins, We Lose.

-10 ( +3 / -13 )

And Left, Right or Center, I think we can all agree, Screw Nate Silver. Bad pollster, ruined baseball. He won’t even take responsibility for his bad (seriously, 3.5 years to adjust the model and you got it worse) polls.

9 ( +10 / -1 )

I can pretty much guarantee that with Trump possibly losing, there will be no peaceful transfer of power. That will be the challenge that faces Biden, as he will have absolutely no help in the transition from the outgoing president. Trump is doing his best to take down or burn everything that is left. He wants to demolish the democratic process and destroy everything that those before him had built. Trump would be better off in taking the high road and concede graciously. But then again, when has he ever taken the high road.

trump supporters love trump. biden supporters are united in their hate for trump.

Wrong buddy. Biden supporters are united in their love for their Country. Something that is bigger than any single person.

My biggest disappointment is that We as a nation were asked a simple question; are you ok with this?

Slightly less than 1/2 the voting pop said:

Racism: Ok!

Xenophobia: Sure, why not?

Utter Incompetence: No big deal.

I was hoping for a resounding rebuke of Trumpism and a return to the days of my Grandfather, who didn’t rationalize with Nazis, he shot them. Sadly. not the case.

@P. Smith

Absentee ballots that were incorrectly marked (e.g. lacking a signature) and that need to be ‘cured’ (i.e. fixed) have up until 17:00 on Friday 11/6 to be resubmitted in GA which could boost Biden’s lead there (and hopefully avoid the 0.5% for a recount).

{Source: https://apnews.com/article/georgia-ballot-count-elections-2020-91afafe6251b498cb306508763aa64dc and retweeted by AOC 21 hours ago as of this posting}.

Point being that the call to Trump supporters in PA to return their absentee ballots is probably a similar thing that the Dems. are asking their supporters to do in GA as many people don’t know about the 17:00 11/6 deadline for ‘cured’ absentee ballots.

Trump himself probably isn’t aware of this (no surprises there....) when he said what he said about efforts to vote after the 3rd.

1 ( +3 / -2 )

Some interesting quotes:

We want every vote counted, yes every legal vote (of course). But, if you have legit concerns about fraud present EVIDENCE and take it to court. STOP Spreading debunked misinformation... This is getting insane.

Every American should have his or her vote counted. A sitting president undermining our political process & questioning the legality of the voices of countless Americans without evidence is not only dangerous & wrong, it undermines the very foundation this nation was built upon.

Some hanky-panky always goes on, and there are already reports of poll watchers in Philadelphia not being allowed to do their jobs, but stealing hundreds of thousands of votes would require a conspiracy on the scale of a James Bond movie. That isn’t going to happen. Let’s repeat that: that isn’t going to happen.

It was Republicans who came out with these. Reassuring to know they're not all Trump cultists.

8 ( +10 / -2 )

Trump deserves credit for the largest voter turnout in history. The strong desire to remove the impeached one termer elected without popular vote was the impetus behind this historical mark.

9 ( +12 / -3 )

And Left, Right or Center, I think we can all agree, Screw Nate Silver. Bad pollster, ruined baseball. He won’t even take responsibility for his bad (seriously, 3.5 years to adjust the model and you got it worse) polls.

His model did give Biden the edge in the election, which it seems he has won, and he also predicted the red mirage and that it would take days for the winner to becone apparent. Seems the results mostly vindicate what his website was saying. Silver isn’t actually a pollster either, he just analyzes data from pollsters.

I think there were a few things they bought into:

The economy: Trump was doin' great!

COVID-19: No better or worse than how it was handled anywhere else. No biggie anyway.

The Supreme Court: No more unborn baby murder!

Biden: Senile, asleep in his basement all the time.

I got the idea that while there were things about Trump that a lot of his supporters didn't much like, they thought he was doing okay overall. A bit like thinking he actually wrote The Art of the Deal all by himself I suppose.

I was hoping for a resounding rebuke of Trumpism 

Fully agree. It's worrying Trumpsim isn't going away any time soon. Trump's leaving behind a country more divided in every way than it's ever been. Trump's made a mess of so many things. One of his biggest failures has been Covid45, which continues to kill and sicken. Then there's his failed economy - for all but some among his fellow 'elite'.

That makes no sense at all. Pines defuse moonlight. They are evergreens so even in winter there is nothing clear about moonlight through pines.

I would say that once the dust has settled this will look like a resounding rebuke of Trump.

1) The end result will likely be him losing both the EC and popular vote by very wide margins (as it stands Biden is looking at 306 electoral college votes).

2) The fact that this stupid thing dragged on for days is consuming us now, but will seem less important after the fact.

3) The really lasting memories of this election are likely to be Trump’s unhinged rants and him looking like a pathetic sore loser. as he tried to take the democratic process down with him. That is what history will remember.

4) Trump is ending as a one termer.

Fully agree. It's worrying Trumpsim isn't going away any time soon.

I didn't expect it to. It seems to have evolved out of something that has been cultivating for some time, that people like George W Bush and Karl Rove were feeding until it got out of their control and they ended up with Trump as their candidate in 2016 instead of Jeb Bush as was the plan. A record high number of voters, winning back some of the "blue wall" and flipping a couple of red states is maybe as much as could have been hoped for.

Seems from what I have read elsewhere, many where influenced by MSM relentless blame Trump COVID message and voted Biden, while hating the left even more and voted red in both the Senate and House. Dont quite get the logic, but we live in strange times.

I knew Trump was over when COVID hit the US and spread. Inew they were going to impeach him, and that was shaky there for awhile but he survied it. When COVID arrrived, There was nothing he could do except be quite but thats not what he does. There will be all kinds of negativity and other analysis by MSM, we have heard it for 4 years, just more noise. Going forward, I am interested in the following:

COVID reporting, numbers and reaction. The season is here, no vaccine, whats the plan? Cant blame Trump anymore. I want transparency, just like we got 24/7 during Trump. Already noticing a drop in the reporting. Ill be watching the "leadership" message also.

Transparency on the economy. Dems claimed repeatedly that Trump inherited Obamas economy. Ok now you got this. Hoping for the best but being realistic...doesnt look promising. Dont blame Trump when it goes left.

Police. 6 mos ago it was burn it up and defund. Will be the police now be mobilized?

Dem dysfunction. Chatter is Nancy might get replaced. The lost big in the HOR and nothing gained in the Senate. Courts are red. Whats the plan? Grid lock and more divide?

The above is not to be negative, if Joe and team can pull it off and put the trajectory in a win for all, Im sold. I benchmark what they get accomplished against Trump. Gut check tells me to expect the worse and midterms gaining more red seats then an easy 2024 win for Pence. Prove me wrong.

-16 ( +4 / -20 )

Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Georgia, it will be a clear victory.

As clear as the knowledge that trump and his band will squeal and whine Over the next few weeks.

I am looking forward to trump’s eviction from the WH!!!

The presidential winner will confront a pandemic that has killed more than 235,000 people in the United States and left millions more out of work, and a country grappling with the aftermath of months of unrest over racism and police brutality.

Racist people aren't going to magically stop being racist just because Biden is now a president. In fact, his policies will worsen the standards of living, which might result in more people becoming racist.

The people who died from Covid are all either elderly or people with some preexistent illness. Overall 235K is just a tiny percent of all the infected, whose number is far greater than what is currently reported or registered. A far smarter approach would've been to request all elderly people and people with preexisting illnesses to self-isolate, or be moved to new shelters somewhere for a couple of weeks while the rest of society moves on.

Unfortunately both Trump and Biden have bad advisors. Trump was very heavily misled by CDC the first 3 months that the pandemic is not an issue and nothing should be done about it, and when CDC made a 180 degrees turn later, Trump started downplaying it on purpose because the solution he was recommended would've hurt the economy. Then he made an even bigger mistake to hire Fauci who also misled him heavily. Now it's too late already. Biden however will just listen to the CNN floating heads who definitely do not have any vested interests at all. They are definitely what's right, and what's in your interest. If you suggest otherwise, you hate babies.

I suppose they were thinking that a Democrat in the White House and a GOP Congress would need to negotiate and compromise to get things done but I suspect the Republicans in the House and Senate will be too scared of losing the votes of strident, obnoxious right-wingers to do anything but just block and obstruct.

All of what you have posted about racist is discredited by the dismal failure of the Dems to grab any gains in the senate courts and house.

People fear the left more than any of those intangibles you keep blaming Trump for.

COVID is a tangible, doesnt care about MSM dem or repub

waiting on the numbers

Economic recovery like 2017 raises all people, regardless of race. People have memories, AA, Latinos everybody

Whats the plan? Orange man bad...thats over. There is nothing to benchmark so far, so any criticism of Trump is pointless.

Amazed at how quickly they can count the first 98% of the votes but the remaining us taking days and days to ‘count’. But at least Trump is a goner but going through some posts and right wing blogs, these people are out for BLOOD! Beheadings, war, rape, killing! They want power and they are NOT going to have it taken away from them. Stand back and gape folks: here is the conservative unmasked!

That makes absolutely no sense. Where have you been for the last 4 years? The divide between the 2 is at the breaking point now; suddenly a Dem president will change that? They will be lookng at anything and everything to impeach him. It has nothing to do with right wingers, thats just fringe noise just like BLM etc. Suddenly work with Dems because we have a Dem prez....thats funny, thanks for the morning laugh.

It's not all pre-existing conditions that are a problem. Regardless, people who are believed to be in a  vulnerable group should be ASKED to self-isolate and INFORMED of the risks. If they choose to ignore the risk, there's nothing more you can do about them. People are responsible for their own life, and you have to respect that.

Biden supposedly winning 4 states by less than 50,000 in each state.

record voting for him! But only in PA, GA, WI and MI. Exactly the states he needed it and states where the final 5% took days to count and was more votes than 5% remaining should have been.

do you know he got less votes than Hillary or Obama in all other states?

What do you think those people are hoping for? That the President they elected won't be able to get anything done because of the Representatives and Senators they elected? Voting for legislative gridlock seems a bit weird to me so I can only suppose that if they were half-way sensible they had some kind of bi-partisanship in mind.

Yes it was an interesting thing to watch. Still perplexed as to why the Dems did so miserable but Biden did so well, that doesnt track. Is there a decent establishment Dem faction somewhere I dont know about? Because all I have seen for the past 4 years are demons burning looting and shooting with establishment Dems promoting it and nonstop partisian MSM keeping it all in play. Maybe there is something that I missed. Is biden really a rightwing Dem?

It’s already in the courts.

Joe Biden is going to (by much less than I hoped) win the Electoral College vote.

The likely share total of the EC vote is going to be 306 for Biden, an awesome result.

@P. Smith

Absentee ballots that were incorrectly marked (e.g. lacking a signature) and that need to be ‘cured’ (i.e. fixed) have up until 17:00 on Friday 11/6 to be resubmitted in GA which could boost Biden’s lead there (and hopefully avoid the 0.5% for a recount).

GA have already stated there'll be a recount. No matter, at worst, that usually only ends up shifting a few hundred... and Biden's more than 4k in front.

That advice appears to have been a colossal failure now and its probably because he listened some advisor, thinking it would appear clean and transparent (it did) I still find it suspect however that the Dems did so bad in the HOR but got so many mail in ballots. MSM tried to anchor him by casting the rallies as super spreaders and the Trump Biden debate kept Trump on a leash.

The 2016 Trump and 2020 trump ; he did the best he could but it was a shackled Trump..right up to the end (too late) and now we have nursing home dude in charge. There may be some optimism, Im looking for it, but look at the comments...prison, narcissist, rinse repeat. 2 years later where we going to be at? Once again, the benchmark. 2 years after a Hilary loss, things were on fire, in a good way. Economy, optimism. Tangibles. So lets see what happens with your team.

They seriously need to take the nuclear codes away from Trump in these 77 odd days left of his “presidency.” It will be very much like him to blow up parts of the country or world, unleash a whirlwind of chaos so as to stay in power. I mean he is a socio and psychopath. 240,000 dead Americans and all he can recommend is to drink bleach!? Use a malaria drug and NOT wear masks, as the US now has its second day of 100,000 new infections!!! I tell you frankly, each time he speaks with that nasal monotone, it is like being waterboarded! But he 20,000 lies and endless corruption are no problem for conservatives! If Obama had had a secret bank account in China, asked for China to intervene on his election like Trump did on CNN and Ukraine, and had put his OWN black relatives in cushy jobs in the WH, had Michelle Obama pose in lesbian porn photos, well, they would have had a lynching party!

Well, our faith in US democracy and common sense may gradually be restored but it's going to take more than one Biden/Harris term to do so thanks to the incredible damage Trump has done. Trump won some states by 40,000 or fewer votes (Michigan by just 10,000) in 2016 so it's no big surprise that these states have gone the other way by similar numbers. Some gave Trump a chance 4 years ago and he completely blew it. Trump is all bravado and bluster with no substance behind him. A loss is a loss and he has lost. Closer than many would have liked but he will be gone in January and that is the best news we've had in the past 4 years. If his diehard supporters and militia groups are stupid enough to want to take on the US military machine, then go for it. But let's hope his family (the only people he listens to maybe?) can convince him to concede and quietly go.

The comments are interesting. I am happy to see Trump exit the White House. Obviously he is unfit for the office and Biden will be the next President of the United States of America.

The racist argument is divisive and tiresome and I would like to add my 2 Yen on this...

What people should be asking is what are we (liberals) doing wrong that allowed Trump to make very significant gains in the Hispanic and Black vote. Yes; the gains were significant.

Instead of calling them names or saying the were wrong we should be asking these minorities who voted for Trump; Why? What policies of Trump led you to vote that way?

Maybe it is time to focus more on bringing the black community out of poverty and addressing the dismal failures in the U.S. inner cities. We should also ask what policies are leading to the very high crime rates in Chicago, Baltimore, etc. where the largest victim group is young black men being killed by other young black men.

It is not racist to point out this fact and I believe there are numerous liberal policies which can address this and are the morally correct thing to do. Start with access to health care with a program similar to what is in Japan (the contribution is based on your income). Improve education with real change (and just throwing money at the problem is not the solution). Find a way to encourage minorities to enter science and technology (yeah I am biased on that one).

Make corporations pay their real fair share in taxes which if done correctly could allow for lower taxes to all individual taxpayers in the U.S. Our tax code is as broken as the U.S. health care policy and maybe it is even worse.

Do not defund the police but properly educate and train officers with even neighborhood police boxes where officers truly feel part of the community.

Biden has a great opportunity to make these improvements. The first thing he should do is invite members of the Republican Party to the White House and identify what values are held in common. Start there, get some victories (bi-partisan victories) and then work on the differences one by one. The two parties cannot come together completely but certainly can improve on what we have now.

TheLongTermer, I think Donald Trump, needs to graciously withdraw, commit to a behavior that is probably alien and unnatural to his ego and persona.

No Judiciary with there heads on the right way up would ever even for a second consider reversing a US Election result. Crazy Bonkers!!

Not only would there need to be unequivocal evidence of ballot rigging-fraud, also there would need to prove that the fraud would have been grave and significant enough to warrant an effect on the final vote tally.  

The USPS need a drain up inquiry, it executive senior management needs to be summoned to give evidence in public to an oversight committee.

First and foremost Donald Trump needs to accept his campaign for Presidency is over.

Congratulate Harris and Biden. Do it with gritted teeth.

@ah so,

Im not distracted by the fraud claim, there are things in Penn that seem suspect. I have accepted the loss, actually I accepted it when COVID appeared in the USA and proved all MSM, Faucci and CDC wrong. Trump was just a side show.

Sigh. Ivanka Trump is a member of the President's staff on the public payroll but has active businesses in China and received multiple trademarks from the Chinese government during her, cough cough, "service" to the people of America. Business dealings with a foreign nation would prevent anyone of lesser stature from obtaining any kind of security clearance necessary for her level of access but she's the Presidents daughter so anything goes. Same for Elaine Chao. Read up on her family business, her sister sitting on the boards of directors of the Bank of China and the big Chinese state own ship building company that builds ships for the family business, a shipping company that hauls bulk copper and iron ores almost exclusively to China from Brazil and Australia. Elaine Chao is Mitch McConnell's wife btw. Nothing untoward there. Nope, nothing to see now move along .

You are correct and I agree with you.

However, Biden is not Nancy (I am from her district) and he now has the power to engage with the Republican Party. I hope he takes the opportunity to do so.

I sincerely hope they do, but politics is dirty, look at how they did Trump for 4 years. They going to work with biden?

We agree on this. You (a conservative I believe) and I (a liberal) both hope the parties will work together. I am quite certain there are ideas which both sides have in common.

This is a live update, Guardian UK ….

I must say 50,000 errors?

These voters are not five years old, well hopefully not.    

Why is the Nevada count taking so long?......

An anxious electorate has been waiting for results from Nevada, where a decisive Biden win would give him the six electoral votes needed to declare victory.

But officials have said they’re taking a slow and steady approach. “We told everyone early on that results would take at least 10 days,” the secretary of state spokeswoman Jennifer A Russell told the Associated Press.

Ahead of the election, the state sent all registered voters mail-in ballots and committed to counting all ballots postmarked by election day, so long as they arrive by next Tuesday.

About 87% of votes have been tabulated, with more than 1.2m ballots remaining to be processed. Just under 50,000 ballots had errors that voters are been given the opportunity to resolve (some require ID verification, others have signature-matching issues). Joe Biden is leading Donald Trump by more than 22,600 votes so far.

Officials have until 12 November to finish counting, though they are expecting most to be tabulated by this weekend.

States said it. Due to crappy list office service and how a trump appointee destroyed the post office, mail now takes up to 9 days after election to be delivered. So liberal states extended their deadlines to receive mail postmarked on 11/3 up to 9 days later in some cases.

so many things for court. Another:

The voter software company linked to the "glitch," which caused roughly 6,000 Trump votes to be credited to Biden in a Michigan county also services as many as 64 other counties in Michigan...and all of the contested battleground states..

The only fraud that is apparent is not coming from voters, but the current President who thinks elections are won in court rather than the ballot box. He seems determined to drag America through as much mud as possible before he has no alternative but to vacate the White House as the loser of this election by the PEOPLE. The nation has spoken and they voted en-mass at over 66% turnout. High turnout for the US.

easy if more than 4000 votes that were counted are found invalid, a recount doesnt just count the votes already counted, it determines if what was counted should have been.

But dont worry, the Dems know its not enough. They now they claiming there are another 50,000 votes they found. Plus the military votes still out there somewhere, which despite all the liberal nonsense here, actually lean Trump.

Biden's lead in Georgia is now 4,000. A recount won't make a dent in that.

Just in, shows what fascists Republicans are! “Stop counting the votes!!” Not how a democracy works, you know.

”A federal judge denied Republican congressional candidates request to stop the counting of mail-in ballots in Clark County, a critical seat in the key battleground state of Nevada, saying they would not succeed on the merits of the case. 

After a two-hour hearing, Judge Andrew Gordon said, “The public interest is not in favor of disrupting the completion of the process of the counting of the ballots” that could disenfranchise hundreds if not thousands of mail-in ballots legally cast.

The judge also noted that a similar case that is ongoing in state court is the better venue, noting that questions about the review of signatures on ballots are issues “involving state laws and should be interpreted by state courts, particular Supreme Court justices elected by state of Nevada citizens.”

I just listened to an intereview with Andrew Yang. If (once) the results are finalized I hope Biden brings him into the realm in some capacity. He is a very smart man and also challanges the narrative

I also listened to Rep. Spanberger from Virginia. She impressed me so much.

They both asked the same questions: What happened? Why the lost seats in the House and why did minorities increasingly support Trump.

Both want the Democratic Party to build back the support of working men and women and both criticized racial division and trying to radically pull the country to far and asked some very serious questions about where we are going. Spanberger was harsh and actually swore on a couple of occasions.

It was refreshing to listen to these two and reminded me of the party I supported. If the messages these two conveyed were used during the campaign Trump would have been slaughtered in the election.

Its not about your feelings or curing racism, those things subside when everybody has opportunity and work, thus the large latino and hispanic vote. There is tons of racism in Japan but if your working in a job you like, you can deal.

They said the same thing when Hilary lost..."we havent connected with the working people" Trump wasnt about the talk, he was about the jobs, look at the oil and gas industry across the gulf states, look at the tax cuts. Thats all about to disappear dude. All this "Biden wants to work with the Senate but..." They want to keep that, he wants to take it away. I knew people from the Gulf, the economy was on fire and they gave Trump 100% credit. Whats this guy going to do? he some new tax cuts? Tell me whats he going to do?

Watching Ingraham on Fox News now. All types of, "incredible abuse" statements with zero evidence given.

She just played a past video of Arizona governor Doug Ducey saying Arizona mail-in ballots were incredibly safe and have been used for years. Her response was, "Oops, didn't work out that way." And.....that's it. Is she claiming fraud in Arizona? Nope, just planting the seed for Fox viewers.

"Republicans also control Georgia. Yet sheer incompetence and perhaps foul play have compromised the integrity of election results there." And then she moved on. Perhaps foul play? No need to expand on that. Just plant the seed.

The entertainment wing at Fox will make some decent money this week.

Never mind, that whole vote thing was just an unfortunate series of software glitches that all happened to randomly go the same way. Whatcha gonna do about it, hey?

Software used to tabulate votes cast in 47 Michigan counties erroneously gave 6,000 votes to Joe Biden in Anterim County, according to state GOP Chairwoman Laura Cox.

"In Antrim County, ballots were counted for Democrats that were meant for Republicans, causing a 6,000 vote swing against our candidates. The county clerk came forward and said 'tabulating software glitched and caused a miscalculation of the vote.' Since then, we have now discovered the 47 counties used the same software in the same capacity," she said, adding "Antrim County had to hand count all of the ballots, and these counties that used the software need to closely examine their results for similar discrepancies."

Of note, Trump won Antrim County in 2016 with 62% of the vote vs. 33% for Hillary Clinton.

It was an accident. A glitch. No need to send in the U.S. Marshals....

With all that Trump has accomplished, he has easily surpassed his 8 year term as President. Biden will not be able to undo most of the policies Trump implemented, as the senate is still under control of the Republicans.

Old man Biden just made a speech. What was the point of it? He stumbles over words because he doesn't write them. A politician to the core.

... all the damage, division and disgrace upon the office and the US - Biden will have a tough struggle to restore the goodness that we all know the US is capable of.

Old man Biden just made a speech. What was the point of it?

Try and bring healing, calming down a riled up Trump base. Sounds surprisingly Presidential.

He stumbles over words because he doesn't write them.

He stumbles occasionally because - that's what people who are fighting a daily battle to have mastery over stutters/speech impediments do.

Do you think Trump actually wrote any of his speeches? And I'm not talking about the stream of consciousness word salad at his super spreader events.

A politician to the core.

Not perfect but a lot better than a failed reality show host.

What's difficult to fathom is that several Republicans and Trump followers would rather believe that there is some huge conspiracy that millions of people were able to be bribed to cast fraudulent votes, even bribe Republican governors and Secretaries of States in places like Georgia to go along with it. These so-called patriots have no belief in the sacred democratic process. If there was such a conspiracy, wouldn't you think that they would at least also try to get several Republican senators out as well, since it would be easier to do? After all, a localized state conspiracy would be easier to set up than an national one.

As a registered independent, Biden is a bore.

-8 ( +1 / -9 )

so let me get this straight;

the Republicans pick up seats in the House and hold the Senate. But somehow Trump is a victim of a multi-state conspiracy that is so effective, it leaves no trace behind. Um, yeah. That makes perfect sense.

As a registered independent, Biden is a bore.

Better a bore, than a narcissistic racist who would rather incite violence than unite a nation.

You think about it, these people had more freedom under Trump than they will ever have again. 

So all your talk about benchmarks, optimism and giving Biden a chance has gone out of the window already?

That didn’t take long.

You’ve been asking the same thing nonstop for 2 days. You’ve been given links and answers. You’ve said multiple times you’ll wait and see and “benchmark” whatever, but you’re still just shouting that the sky is falling and running in circles.

There is nothing Trump could of done about COVID.

There's a lot Trump could have done aside from politicizing a pandemic and blame the Dems. A lot.

BTW...what is the plan to deal with COVID?

Ok.

Biden’s page (the link you thanked me for earlier today) has A DETAILED SEVEN POINT ACTION PLAN regarding COVID-19.

Other than that, there is nothing else anyone can assure you with right now, do you realize that? Did you notice there is an election on?

we will discuss that

No. No we won’t.
