Politics The 2020 US Presidential Election

The big banks control the big money. I can see them wanting people to feel secure enough with the 'financial world' to spend money, take out loans, make investments, etc.

And if the reports that Shyster Trump is considered a very high risk by many financial institutions is true, he might not be inclined to back another bailout. Even if that meant going against what would actually be in his best interest.

 

Get Out The Vote!

 

Not that I'm aware of , but as long as it contains the necessary plans to rid us of tRump Vader, it's tops in my book!

 

I just saw Ronna McDaniel on Face The Nation. When asked about Trump's actions regarding race relations and Black Lives Matter, she gave one of the slickest responses I've ever heard. In about 20 seconds she managed to very effectively combine half truths, lies, twisted favorable interpretations, empty platitudes, etc.

It was impressive. In a very bad way. Because some people will not recognize her slick response for what it is, baffle them with bullshit.

 

will biden not traveling alot hurt him?

 

Is Shyster Trump, or his people, and/or the Russians, playing the COVID-19 card with overly optimistic reports of a vaccine by the first of the year?

I try to avoid giving too much validity to the conspiracy nuts, but given Shyster's history of misinterpretation, and blatant lying, I can see him (and others) going all in vaccination exaggerations.

Some news reports are optimistic without actually promising a vaccine, but also not mentioning the report is being optimistic. Hook the people (voters) who want to hear what they want to believe.

Other reports are clear in their very cautious optimism.

 

Yes, I expect that there will be a lot of announcements of vaccines in October. I wouldn't trust any of them, but it will be put out there. Either by Russia who is doing a real life human experimentation to see how effective their vaccine in, or by the rich pharma companies and executives who want the tax breaks and deregulation.

 

The CDC sent out a letter indicating there might be a vaccine available by the first of November, 2020.

Call me cynical, but that sounds incredibly optimistic, and especially convenient.

The date seems calculated to make it impossible for most voters voting by mail to change their minds if the proposed target date is met, or missed. IIRC Tricky Dicky used ending the war in Vietnam to help get reelected in '72.

 

Regarding that ill-planned boat parade for tRump that ended up swamping a portion of its members: The Wreck of the SS Full MAGA!

(This is not one of mine, credit goes to someone named Kevvboy on DailyKos)

Sung to the tune of Gordon Lightfoot's "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald":

The legend lives on from Bowling Green on down
Of the big lake they called Sinky Trumpy
Lake Travis, it’s said, never gives up her dead
When the lakes of September turn bumpy
With a load of full bores, twenty six thousand tons more
Than the ‘SS Full MAGA’ weighed empty
That good ship and true painted red white and blue
When the waves of November came early

The ship was the pride of the north Dallas burbs
Sailing back from a rally in Irving
As motorboats go, it was bigger than most
With a captain and crew - more than twenty
Their MAGA hats on, but of masks, they had none
When they left fully loaded for Austin
And later that night when the ship’s bell rang
Could it be the blue wave they’d been lost in?

With covfefe strong, all the boats sailed along
Flying Trump flags from every railing
The waves rose up high but they zoomed right on by
All the libtards alongshore, a-wailing
And every man knew, as the captain did too,
Twas the witch of November come stealing!
Kamala’s her name and they see her dark flame
Lighting up the skies o’er Sinky Trumpy

The boats were too close - two or three feet at most
And the big waves began now a buildin-
The little boats sank, people fell in and drank
The dark waters of gloomy Lake Travis
When suppertime came the old man came on deck sayin
Magas, it’s too rough to feed ya
But at 7 pm when the hatchway caved in, he said
Magas, it’s been good to know ya!

The captain, he cried out to call 9-1-1
But his iphone could not get a signal
He sent off a text and he tried WhatsApp next
But the good ship and crew were in peril
And later that night when his lights went outta sight
Came the wreck of the SS Full MAGA
Does anyone know where a Trumper can go
To find someone to hear his sad saga?

The searchers all say they’d have made it that day
If they hadn’t drunk so much Sam Adams
Of twenty white men, none that knew how to swim
We searched for ‘em deep in the fathoms
They might have split up or they might have got swamped
It might have been sharks that have got ‘em
Now all that remains is the faces and the names
And the Trump flags stretched out on the bottom

The legend lives on from Bowling Green on down
Of the big lake they called Sinky Trumpy
Lake Travis, they said, never gives up her dead
When the waves of November come early!
