Just like 2016?

Why do so many keep acting as if 2018 didn't happen?
I guess it's all for the best, though, and people vote accordingly. :)

Just like 2016?

Based on the information found in “About the Founder”, it would be unreasonable for you to accept any compensation.

Remind us just how many candidates are running only small donation campaigns in this election? I looked at your website and could find none.

This is still my favorite line on your website:

” One Demand will not be making contributions to or endorsing any candidates so contributions to One Demand will only be used to maintain and improve the website, advertising, legal advice, representation and actions when necessary and reasonable compensation to myself and others (see “About the Founder”).

italyrusty,

Or, is it that you believe Biden isn't up for a debate with Trump, hmmm? And, you'd like to see him wiggle out of it, any way he can??

Trusting that this was a sincere comment Elizabeth, the answer is, Joe could have, for example, demanded Trump release his tax returns in return for three debates. Debates that Trump needs far more than Biden. Even if Joe doesn't get the Trump tax returns he highlights Trump's hiding of the truth.

And no, I see no reason in the world that Joe is or should be afraid to debate Trump. I think any Biden debate performance that clears the low "didn't drool on himself" bar will thence be inherently reality based, and that favors ole "Hey do I look like a Marxist bomb thrower?" Joe Biden. Relax, we got this

The Trump campaign just withdrew and stopped advertising in Arizona. Apparently they have now given up on Michigan and Arizona, and possibly Pennsylvania.

Trump should have more than enough campaign money to keep advertising in those states — of course that would require him to return some of the campaign donations that he has pocketed for himself and his family.

Are Americans for real?

i'll boil it down for you in 4 words: most people are stupid.

And, HOW!!!

I just read about gender reveal parties in California and Arizona that are responsible for wildfires that have burned more than 80,000 hectares, not to mention the lives and property destroyed!

Biden may not have a snowball's chance in Hell ...

If these were normal times (for instance), reports that the president of the United States called American soldiers killed in action "losers" would be an enormous scandal -- well worth six full weeks of headlines, in fact.

I know, right!? Trump keeps insisting he didn't say these things because gaslighting the gullible masses is what Trump does. It's nothing personal to the troops; Trump thinks most everyone is a "sucker," a "loser," and quite obviously thinks lots of people are gullible morons because he can quite obviously see they believe his utter nonsensical bullshit.

Over three linked tweets, Trump wrote:

I was never a big fan of John McCain, disagreed with him on many things including ridiculous endless wars and the lack of success he had in dealing with the VA and our great Vets, but the lowering of our Nations American Flags, and the first class funeral he was given by our Country, had to be approved by me, as President, & I did so without hesitation or complaint. Quite the contrary, I felt it was well deserved. I even sent Air Force One to bring his body, in casket, from Arizona to Washington. It was my honor to do so. Also, I never called John a loser and swear on whatever, or whoever, I was asked to swear on, that I never called our great fallen soldiers anything other than HEROES. This is more made up Fake News given by disgusting & jealous failures in a disgraceful attempt to influence the 2020 Election!

"I swear I never! Ask Melanie... She was in DC when I called and told her all about it." What a bullshit artist. *laughs* Lie on top of lie on top of lie. Melania was in Paris when Trump spewed his quite standard and customary typical insults.

Yes, Trump called John McCain a loser and also memorialized himself doing it via a tweet shortly thereafter. The gullible rubes can deny it until the cow come home, but let's stop kidding ourselves that Trump didn't say it, and let's stop kidding ourselves that Trump doesn't think America is full of idiots who are gullible enough to believe his asinine gaslighting con artist bullshit. Trump thinks you're stupid or he wouldn't keep lying to your face even about what's staring you right in the face. Trump thinks those who would serve their country for little monetary gain are stupid. This ain't rocket science, people.

I'm not exactly sure where you're at but I'm hoping that you are safe from the wildfires that are burning in the high country...take good care!

I hope you can play this video from the facebook page of StringKatz; they will be playing with Queen Flash and this is a video montage of Bohemian Rhapsody ...

that 70's show theme song?

JL

I just found out about them the other day while listening to my favourite radio station and they mentioned these guys after playing Chicago's 25 or 6 to 4.

So, I checked them out and was pretty much bowled over. It's so hard to tell the difference between Chicago and the Leonid and Friends' cover. I thought for sure somebody was pulling my leg and this wasn't for real.

Check it out for yourselves!

I shall check out Bastards of Young. Did you ever see them live? Where did they tour?

Here is the first track, Separate Ways - which he has performed live before ... Enjoy!

I have to go out for a bit but I will be back ...

Wish we had a joint so bad!

Big Star was an influential group that never achieved commercial success. Here’s a little hero worship from The Replacements, one of my very favorite bands. Alex Chilton was the singer for The Box Tops when he was a teenager before moving on to Big Star.

Children by the million wait for Alex Chilton when he comes 'round
They say "I'm in love. What's that song? I'm in love with that song."
I never travel far without a little Big Star

I hope you are beginning to see the light and will stop asking the same question, over and over again. :)

The CW Sunday Night Music Festival and Dance Party is up soon - hope to see you there!

And, we can't discount the fact that many Americans have a very mistaken impression of Joe Biden. Even among the ones who actually like him don't think he is capable of governing - and that was long before Trump and his attempts to belittle Biden.

If Biden wins, it will be a small miracle ...

The de-facto gerrymandering of state lines.

The 50-ish percent of Americans who don't vote.

Again, why in the world do you think that "Trump stands a good chance of winning?"

He never broke 50% approval, has never tried to reach anyone but his base, has at one time or another pissed off everyone, whose incompetence has killed 200K Americans and created a Great Recession or Depression out of a good economy. Just what does Trump have going for him besides 40-ish percent of Americans that "always vote Repug, no matter what?"

The crash position is just a hedge against possible disaster. The Fox Empire is positioning its news outlet (which employs some credible journalists and at least one credible talking head)to remain credible if Biden wins. "We saw it coming."

BTW, I don't take credit for the 'additional demands' idea.

I believe I commented on that piece back in July! With almost 4000 comments, though, I'm not going to try to find it just to quote myself. But, I can imagine what I said. Heh.

Ah, yeah, I'm aware of the negotiations. They can't really be used to feign cancelling the debates altogether. Sure, Biden could have done as you suggested. But, it would have been an asinine move and he doesn't make many of those, as a rule.

Good luck putting Trump between a rock and a hard place. :)

FOX Viewers don't seem to mind. I've often wondered if they enjoy the Jerry-Springer-like clashes; at least ONE of the people they're watching is 'bearing false witness', but they never are bothered enough to change the channel.

Whoever wins in November, FOX News is certain to retain its loyal viewership, so they really have nothing to fear. And certainly no reason to change their 'business model'.

I don't know ASL, so thank goodness for close captioning. And I'm picking up a 'few phrases' along the way. :)

chilling thought, but probably accurate.

Yay!

(Disclosure: I voted for him.)

You have an inside line on this administration's collusion with the Russians? If he says he's working with them on something that he isn't clever enough to have come up with on his own, it seems as though we ought to believe him.

Nor do I share your confidence in the ability of a dozen or so swing-state election systems to all beat everything the Russians can come up with.

Harping on facts is a guaranteed way to lose a US election. He'll have to keep playing the feelings, and projecting the image, associated with those issues.

Three components.

1) We have an electoral system where 40% of the popular is fairly likely to be pluralities in enough states for a majority of the electoral vote.

2) About 40% of US voters are absolute psychopaths. They're in favor of putting babies in cages for no lawful reason, if it's their side that's doing it. They're in favor of disrespecting the troops, if it's their side doing it. They're in favor of policies and behaviors that cause 100,000+ utterly avoidable US deaths from covid, if it's their side doing it.

and

3) It's pretty much the same 40%.

FYI,

TCM is showing 'The Kids Are Alright' tonight!

There are so many things that can go wrong in this presidential election that I've lost count.

Biden will have to work very hard, tooth and nail, to win this election. He'll have to keep harping on the fact that Trump doesn't understand how to stop the virus; that he is the law and order candidate, not Trump; that looters, arsonists and other rioters will be prosecuted in a Biden administration; that there can be no economic renewal while the virus runs out of control; that Democratic economic policy, while not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, takes into account the welfare of all Americans while the Republican cult of economic failure leads only to disaster.

If Biden can get through to American voters - Democratic, Republican and Independent - on these critical issues, then I fully expect him to win. But, not in a landslide! And, knowing what I do about American voters, even all of this may not be enough to edge Trump out of the White House.

My point to you, MtnCaddy, is that it is never wise to count your chickens before they are hatched. It's always wise to work hard because nothing worthwhile ever comes easily. These are the lessons of 2016 ...

Apparently, he thinks that a cult of personality is transferable to a dullard with no personality.

As scandalous as Trump is, he has a pretty good chance of winning a second term.

Pretty good chance? How do you figure?

Trump has never achieved 50% approval. He has never tried to appeal to anyone besides his low-40 percentile base. Under Trump 180,000
and counting Americans are dead and our economy has cratered. And Trump is not running as an unknown outsider against Corporatist Hillary this time around.

In light of this do you really think that Joe Biden would trade places with "pretty good chances" Trump? I didn't think so.

Somehow "It's summer, the persons of color are gay" just doesn't cut it, right?

I was referring to active duty military mostly but, I had forgotten that Trump is Kelly's own kind. My memory is very bad and getting worse, it seems ... :(

I'm just wondering how low people in the military are willing to go with him in disrespecting their own kind.

Obviously pretty low, but if you're referring to the likes of John Kelly, Fat Donny is his own kind. He has never apologized for smearing Frederica Wilson. He is about as low as it gets.

How could it be? What is actually new? Big Orange can just call it Fake News as long as this bunch of dopes and babies refuse to go on the record.

Well, there's nothing new, that's for sure. Just more of the same.

Guess I'm just wondering how low people in the military are willing to go with him in disrespecting their own kind. Think about that for a minute!

If Trump ends up leaving the White House in January, the next President is going to be facing a monumental mess formerly known as the USA and it will be on the order of magnitude of the Augean Stables, again.

So, what are you putting in your not-so-early-morning breakfast, these days? :)

What sort of leverage do you suppose Biden has over Trump and the presidential debates?

Or, is it that you believe Biden isn't up for a debate with Trump, hmmm? And, you'd like to see him wiggle out of it, any way he can??

do you think this latest Atlantic piece will be a tipping point, at least with the military and, especially, with active duty military?

How could it be? What is actually new? Big Orange can just call it Fake News as long as this bunch of dopes and babies refuse to go on the record.

Griffin also tweeted that she discovered Trump once said it was “not a good look” to include “wounded guys” in a Fourth of July military parade.'
