POTUS/General Election Thread 2020 + Aftermath

**Crandar** · 09-30-2020, 08:41

I agree, Biden definitely won, but his performance wasn't great. That being said, the cult didn't disappoint. According to the official narrative, asking Trump to denounce white supremacists was a trap. An particularly insidious one. However, there is no unanimous conclusion about whether the Commander-in-Chief fell in it or masterfully evaded it.

I don't think it's a matter of falling for it or evading it. The fact that you have a sitting president who refuses to come out against radical right-wingers, despite the DHS stating in recent drafts that white supremacists pose a greater domestic threat than Islamic terrorists, is scary. But as anyone who has followed his presidency the last 3 1/2 years, his favorable view on these groups is nothing new.

On a different note, this could be funny if it wasn't so sad:

Except Canadians want nothing to do with Americans except as a trading partner.....

More journalists should do this:

That's what it devolved to, but it didn't have to be that way. Biden clearly tried to lay out some plans and have an actual debate, while Trump just used his usual aggression. This was Trump's time to shine, but all he did was act like he usually does.

"Beautiful", "China", "fake news". Same as usual.

Trump looks and sounds shockingly good here.

A very helpful cheat-sheet for following the elections. Don't forget to save it.

Didnt Boris Johnson also seem fine for a while before he got sent to the ICU?

Also if you look at 1:03 in this video he appears to stifle a cough, or it was edited out. hard to tell and I trust nothing that's coming out of the WH. I mean they even lied about the timing of the photos they took.

Edit: its even worse: Trump's doctor says he didn't admit yesterday that Trump was put on oxygen because he was trying to be publicly upbeat. "I didn't want to give any information that might steer the illness in another direction."
Which makes zero sense.

Oh my god, I thought I was posting the video you just posted. I must have scrolled too far and grabbed the link without looking.

But Trump does look and sound like a "normal person" in that scene. Maybe I'm just too inclined to think well of people.
