No. I don't want tough questions. You didn't ask Biden tough questions.

I don't interview Biden.

Whine whine whine.

Why would anyone want such a whiner running their household?

The thing about snowflake has mostly been projection.

The things Trump is now trying to push re the Bidens is pure projection.

Sad.

I just saw a post by my ex's husband commenting that Democrats are deluded believing Biden is honest? And, if we disagreed with his opinion then we are part of the problem. ?? Between him and sweetness I've always been the problem ...

He's generally a pretty laid back guy if not more than a little misguided given that he has to deal with 'you know who'. He sounds upset about something.

I'm pretty sure it's more that folks believe Joe Biden is honest compared to Trump who really isn't except when he's insulting folks.

Trump honestly believes his insults.

"Part of the problem" is a poor excuse for lack of thought. Your ex's husband should know better than that.

It's a phrase used to trigger. A dog-whistle.

This is just funny to me because I live in Baltimore County.

When word got out that Trump was going to Nebraska on Tuesday, I knew this race was all but over. A Republican going to Nebraska at this stage is like a Democrat going to Baltimore.

Now this is going to be interesting, count me in!

I try not to get involved in US politics, but I still see it as quite likely that Trump will win. Sure, Buythem will get more votes overall, but in the electoral college system and with a conservative-stacked supreme court, chances are the Orange One will still eke out a narrow victory, or it could be decided in court as with Bush/Gore, so this isn't over by a long shot.

There is also a huge difference between Trump and Biden voters. Both are passionate about Trump, either loving or hating him, but neither camp cares much for Biden.

They just did an opinion poll here in Hungary actually and whilst most people would vote for Biden over Trump if given the chance, the majority actually think that Trump will win. I think they're spot-on.

My personal view is that both candidates are terrible, but Trump slightly less so, at least from a global perspective. He is more cognizant of America's real place in the world, is wary of starting any new wars and conflicts and is more wary of China. Biden is compromised because of his corrupt link to China and the Ukraine and he would likely bring back the Obama/Clinton era war hawks into the white house.

Trump has closer links to China than Joe Biden. And Trump has shown that it's not America's place in the world he cares about. It's his own.

He doesn't care if Americans die, lose their homes and jobs, or their children. He's made that painfully clear.

The Unions are gearing up. This is an example of the law of unintended consequences. Trump may inadvertently end up causing unions to strengthen.

This is about American workers.

Members of the country's largest labor union are preparing to strike if Donald Trump refuses to concede defeat after the presidential election.

On Monday, the AFL-CIO's Western Massachusetts chapter passed a resolution to defend democracy from "Trump's neo-fascist tactics, including his repeated refusal to denounce white supremacy, the drastic inequality of wealth and power, and other crises facing our country and the world."

The resolution went on to name the numerous attacks Trump has launched against working people across the country, ending with a call to use "the most powerful tool of the Labor Movement in our history" — a general strike — if Trump refuses to concede defeat."

✂️

The Massachusetts affiliate's call for a rapid mobilization of its members follows a similar statement from the Rochester AFL-CIO Labor Council. ...[and] the MLK Labor Council — which represents 100,000 Seattle-area workers — called for a general strike, should Trump attempt a post-election coup.

✂️

Last week, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka called for an "emergency meeting" of labor leaders to plan how to counter attempts by the Trump administration to undermine a free and fair voting process.

On Tuesday, dozens of labor officials met to discuss their election response, NBC News reported. The briefing included possible Election Day outcomes, intelligence on Trump's plans, mapping out "hot spots," message research, and period-by-period threat assessments.

✂️

...Association of Flight Attendants-CWA President Sara Nelson said any post-election strike plans would need to "strategically place pressure in places that are going to have a major impact."

"We actually don’t have to have a general strike across the entire country," Nelson said. "We can have a major impact if we know that we can shut down one specific place, and it doesn’t even have to be for a very long period of time. If we take control of the schedule of the country, we can have a tremendous effect."

This stuff is why folks keep needing to scream about Hunter. Scream and scream. (from October 20th)

Ivanka Trump appears to have violated the Hatch Act another 11 times since this was published, just one week ago.

Breaking the law eight times in two days is a lot. Even for an administration known for its corruption.

That's just partisan bias DT, there are very big differences between the two situations.

Trump has had business dealing with China and he has a bank account there, because, guess what, he does business in China, just like pretty much every other major business in the US.

Biden on the other hand is a career politician and his dealing with China, as with the Ukraine were about influence peddling, whilst he was in government. That is a very big difference, since Trump dealt with China as a private citizen in order to do business, whilst Biden(s) made his (their) money as a direct result of influence-peddling for foreign governments whilst in office.

The first instance is the standard way of doing business in China, whilst the second instance reeks of corruption, if not treason. We are looking at a false equivalence here.
