Only 17 more sleeps!

please, don’t go!

Never thought I'd see the day when an ex-POTUS requesting asylum from a dictatorship somewhere was a realistic possibility.

Begrudgingly I'll admit I live in a very blue area and even the conservatives are moderate for the most part. Drive 20 min in either direction and you find Trump signs and flags though.

Basically I'm in the educated suburbs.

Florida does seem to be a mix bag

please, don’t go!

He will have to in order to escape prison.

Why the Alt-Right’s Most Famous Woman Disappeared

Lauren Southern could spew racist propaganda like no other. But the men around her were better at one thing: trafficking in ugly misogyny.

please, don’t go!

But somebody told me we were laughably hyperbolic to suggest it.

the problem a lot folks have is failing to realise (despite an abundance of evidence) that NOTHING about Trump is normal....

so they go wrong in applying conventional norms and possible outcomes to Trump

 

[Habsy]

Tell me about it

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Plus Trump is the luckiest guy on the planet. I won't believe he's lost until he actually moves out of the White House.

He may have that same viewpoint actually.

At least two participants at ABC News’ “town hall” event Thursday with presidential candidate Joe Biden had undisclosed Democratic Party affiliations.

Lol. Yeah undecided.

 

[zeke]

They repeatedly said the townhall questioners were NOT undecided throughout.

 

[Habsy]

Ah. So Joe needed softball babying? He can handle hard questions, they should make him answer some.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Is that any way to treat a feeble old man on the brink of senility?

Be nice.

 

[Habsy]

This is funny. Noor Bin Laden, niece of Osama, says that she had received more hate and nasty remarks for supporting Trump over being related to Osama.

 

[zeke]

She can't choose her family.

 

[LeafGm]

Doesn't it make more sense to dislike someone more for their own actions and opinions than to dislike them because of who they're related to?

 

[Habsy]

She can't choose her family.

Yeah I immediately thought of that.

Still funny to me for some reason.

[CH1]

Yeah I immediately thought of that.

Still funny to me for some reason.

escalator wit

 

[CH1]

oh man, no way will Joe recover from showing fatherly love...
