    Yes, but these particular leftist loyalists didn't SEE or HEAR that because until MSNBC or CNN points it out to them it never happened . . . even as it is happening in real time.

    That's partly it and the other part is that they could see that it was a miracle that Biden mentally held it together for as long as he did. That was Trump's true error. Had he just shut up and allowed Joe to ramble however he wanted the entire world would have watched in real time -- with no editing -- as Biden's mind unravelled. That is the real reason why leftist leadership and media wonks are pushing to eliminate the other scheduled debates.

    You didn't noticed that ALL of the violence is done by radical leftists with the blessings of Dem Party mayors and governors WHILE they use federal law to prevent Trump from putting an end to THEIR violence? Interesting how many people belonging to the political Left never seem to grasp that aspect of reality.

    Also none of them even look at the fact that none of this happened until the Left entered the election year with a really weak presidential candidate on their side whom kept screwing up where Blacks were concerned -- then like MAGIC the national interest is suddenly shifted to their political wheelhouse. The three and a half years prior to this . . . nothing.

    "Your gonna knowns it"? I am glad to see you still value decency but I see you have given up on grammar.

    Doesn't look like it. You posted some unknown stock photo of flames behind a flag then mention Somalia......the photo is meaningless but we all get your reference to Somalia.....you think it is a shithole.

    That angry new party sentiment is exactly why the people elected Trump. To some extent, Obama's rhetoric was initially suggestive of a new party, or at least a party reformer and transformer.

    We are seeing the rise of new parties. They just figured out that they have to put on the costume of "R" or "D" in order to be seated in office.

    The old guard oligarchy of RINO's and DINO's, which has become one party over half a century, is dying. Pelosi, Schumer, Nadler, Schiff, Biden, McConnell, Graham, Romney, Sessions are unpopular and they're old. If they don't get voted out, they aren't going to be around much longer anyway.

    What we need to be paying attention to is which two new parties are replacing the old guard.

    It would appear that the Marxist/Communists/Globalists are gaining seats under the "D" label, and that the Capitalists/Nationalists are gaining seats under the "R" label.

    The common bond with both new parties is anger at the oligarchy which has wrenched power out of the hands of the people and a desire for the masses to regain power and control of the government. Both new parties are populist in nature, which is historically a bad indicator for a country. It generally reflects that a fragile social and civil structure is about to crumble.

    The obvious difference between the upcoming parties is the ideal solution for what a reformed government should look like. Marxists want to destroy existing institutions and rebuild an all-powerful government "of the people" (they say) which makes everyone comply to their collective mindset. Nationalists wish to disassemble the existing oligarchic structures, reduce the size and scope of government, and hand freedom back to individuals, or to reduce the number of bureaucrats and not replace them.

    The new parties seem to be the exaggerated extremes of the old parties, but where the oligarchs erred in joining forces to become one party for their own gain, the new parties appear to be absolutely unbending and uncompromising because the end-game objectives are so very different.

    Are we destroying the dilapidated old house before we have the architectural plans and designs for the new house? We all may end up homeless for a while.

    Only thing which looks certain. Change is coming, and it's coming fast and hard.

    Certain 'mericans call every country that's not called "America" a shithole country (it doesn't matter that they hardly know anything about the world outside their four walls). They have yet to learn that they live on planet Earth and planet "we" doesn't exist.
    Ops, but one shouldn't mention these things, otherwise one's "envy" might show.

    Addressed how, exactly? Seems to me that they are entitled to their opinions just as much as we are. Why the concern about the "petty opinions" of "lesser nations?"

    Hopefully that ''moving forward'' will include measures to improve your trigger happy law enforcement.

    You must be assuming I care about Joe--I seriously don't. This whole thing is an embarrassment. These candidates are an insult to who we thought we were as a nation. We should be ashamed that we tolerate such pettiness.

    What I'm not (NOT) ready for is "Obama 2.0", Nerd! If Biden wins, we'll be lorded over by radical Democrats who will make our lives a living HELL.

    Do I like all of Trump's policies or his 'style'...? Not at all! But they are more bearable than seeing us sink into an endless nightmare of 'political-correctness', Kalifornia-style, for four long, miserable years -- and even more "socialism-lite".

    Kamala-la-la and Valerie Jarrett, along with the rest of the hyperliberal Left-wing Democrat klatsch of schemers and manipulators would simply park o' Joe over in one part of the Oval Office where he can drool and reminisce about fun times in the 20th-century.

    Every time we have an election in this country, people are always screaming from the rooftops that "this is the most important election of our lifetimes". We said it so often that it completely lost its impact -- but -- this time it's actually true. And, the choices haven't been this BAD in my entire, long life....

    I ask myself over and over... why couldn't Democrats find just ONE (ONE) of their number who is even remotely close to being as good for this country as John F. Kennedy?! Instead, they push a corrupt, senile, decaying machine-politician on us who never did anything beneficial for anyone whose last name wasn't "Biden" for 47 years!

    [​IMG]. This pair would have been far better than "Biden/Harris".... :spin:

    It's not actually true. It's never been true. They've been lying to us about that forever. ZOMG! Elect my guy or we're all DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED.

    Meh - I'm not impressed.

    Get the idiot in chief out of there and give Biden a republican senate to play with. Split power is always best for the people.

    Change is definitely coming. I really do wish we could go back to that old guard until we come up with a better solution than what I'm seeing now. We might have a better chance at doing this change intelligently and building a consensus rather than team Us forcing team Them to give it up. For the last 30-40 years, the idea of compromise has been converted into a negative. Compromise is something we must have if we're going to survive.

    One big part of the problem is how we are approaching change like wild animals battling it out. We're more reactionary thinkers than critical thinkers. And the relative ease with which those in the data business can buy and sell our data allows others to manipulate us with ease. Part of the core of human intellect is this thing about disliking and distrusting others. And we're quite competitive. It's so easy to trigger those reactions in us. We respond to words and images, but don't think about those who are pumping out those words and images to get us to react. If we continue this trajectory, we'll see a new oligarchy. The current mindset's on either side of our divide will lead us to an oligarchy. It's not the political ideals, those are essentially irrelevant and just tools of manipulation.

    Screw decency. That went out the window with dick Clinton turning Oval Office into an oral orifice.

    SCOTUS Justice Gorsuch
    SCOTUS Justice Kavanaugh
    SCOTUS Justice Barrett

    Is all that matters.

    There are a ton of decent, qualified, patriotic Americans that would have been a better President, I'll give you that. But Trump was America's answer to a crooked Hillary, and that's that.

    And oh boy, what a pleasant surprise he has been to all of us, the Deplorables. :applause:

    I would have liked this pair better than Biden/Harris too. it didn't happen, though. Like in 2004, the Dem primary voters opted for the supposedly "safe" choice of the establishment centrist.

    Now, Biden is not going to ruin your life. In fact, Obama didn't either. Rather, with a Biden presidency, you'll get 4 more years of same old same old, but without the reality TV theater of Trump; and the international embarrassment. Don't be fooled into the Biden = Venezuela rhetoric. This is how Trump wants voters to be scared of the opposition, nothing else.

    .I still don't know and probably never will why the electoral college voted in Trump instead of Hilary Clinton. I didn't vote for Trump and won't again this time. When Trump is out of office, the nightmare will be over. I's sure Biden will make a great President and Harris a great vice-President. We will all be saved.

    With people talking about one single 90-minute debate "turning America into a laughing stock", I can imagine what an Obama 3rd Term (Biden win) would be like.

    Ring a bell? How soon we forget why Donald Trump is in office today.
