Welcome to Thunderdome

People are tweeting at Trump to call Biden "Big Guy" at the debate tonight.

In fact, I think Trump does nothing tonight except attack Biden on corruption via his son.

What the fuck is "progressive news"?

Much better but are there really any undecided voters left?

They claim there are, but I think it's more about being undecided on whether or not they want to bother voting.

Ballot box set on fire.

I hope they find out who did this and absolutely hammer them. The point needs to be made that fucking with an election is a huge mistake.

We need some kind of trusted government agency to put mail drops everywhere so we don't need to rely on whatever a "ballot drop box" is.

Maybe, just MAYBE... let people vote using technology. Or something. Other than dropping paper into a box.

The suspect looks homeless, honestly.

So close to the end of the election cycle. Can't wait.

Got a political call at 8:01, this morning.

You hope it's so close to the end...

Right?

I was telling the wife the other day that I can't wait until the next presidential election so I can be told all over again how _________ is Hitler, this is the most important election in history, we have to save the country, and so on. The cycle of hyperbole repeats every four years.

Conversely, I'm 35 years old. For a very large portion of my life I didn't care who was President and he never disparaged or insulted me. The last 4 years have been completely different, everyone knows who the President is now, and not in a good way. Suddenly our President is pathologically lying(even for a politician), saying toxic things publicly 24/7 on social media, and generally being a divisive buffoon. Never had a President wave his hand in the general direction of a state I live in and say "Fuck those people - they don't vote for me" publicly before.

Trump is worse that Hitler. Because Hitler is dead, so he's not doing anything.

There is zero defense for Trump and his behavior, but I don't see him leaving office changing much. Sure, the president won't tweet stupid shit and insults so much (mainly because Biden doesn't control his Twitter account), but Biden doesn't seem to have a problem insulting voters, particularly those not with him. His former boss made more than one disparaging remark about the folks who didn't vote for him. The Clintons were notoriously dismissive of the military personnel they encountered, which probably means nothing to you, but for us veterans was a huge slap in the face. But beyond them, the people are too far fractured. How many people with opposing viewpoints have you seen called "snowflakes", "Trumpers", and so on? The vitriol and hatred for one another didn't start with Trump's win, and it certainly won't end when he's gone.

Is it too much for me to wish neither one would win? I mean, it has 0% chance of happening, but I don't think either of these "men" represent me and I don't want either representing my country.

That's a good one.

The blank line was for any name because I've heard every candidate from Bush to Obama to Trump all be compared to Hitler.

Orders of magnitude in both content and quantity matter.

Yeah, but I feel like one represents America better than the other. Who basically represents himself.

I know. I was just making a funny.
