    I always get a kick out of the mention of cultists.
    I don't think you understand that term, at all.
    Don't ever change, please, I need the giggles.

    It is. While Americans are tuning out Biden and the DNC, the fabulously wealthy donors of the self-styled "party of the little guy" are stuffing its coffers and PACs with cash:

    Hell, I'm 60, and even I know enough to rig my internet streaming through the 65" TV. I haven't watched the "news" channels (FOX, CNN ...etc) on regular TV in years.

    You claim that the Dems are 100% owned by China, but then you list a bunch of US donors ... you need to work on your messaging, you be all confused.

    Negative, but good information and truth would seem like the opposite to those who are themselves steeped in misinformation and lies.

    Funny how the BUMP is playing out...


    Thursday, August 20, 2020
    The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll sponsored by Liberty Nation for Thursday shows that 51% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-eight percent (48%) disapprove.

    Not at all. As is the case with Sinopec and other ChiCom owned entities, Americans are free to put their money in the "Democratic" party.

    Well, at least Joe had a living past POTUS speaking for him. Won't happen for Trump - Bush won't have anything to do with that clown show!

    I mean, when you have the nerve to trot out Cuomo to lecture people on COVID response, you're really scraping the bottom of the barrel. It would be like having Himmler come and talk about reducing Antisemitism.

    The basic pitch is:

    Trump - bad.
    Joe - has a pulse and is a nice old grandpa.

    Slick Willy. :lol:

    Obviously, their #MeToo act was DOA at this year's DNC. Imagine that...

    I liked Michelle Obama's whopper - she should be doing two shows a night in Vegas.

    Joe Biden is a profoundly decent man...

    At least Democrats can blame empty seats on COVID this election cycle. Last election, it was just because Hillary sucked.

    You been selling orange man bad for going on four years now and the only things you offered in response is the same tired half truths and whole lies the Dems have been giving us for decades now? Cliches for decades now coast to coast high speed rail? Don't make me laugh. You clowns couldn't get one done at a reasonable cost from San Diego to San Francisco.

    Trump botched the covid response? Even funnier. Trump did everything within a presidents constitutional powers to do reduced the potential death toll by 95% and the left thinks they could have done better? Give me a break. It hurts when I laugh this hard.

    Now you've nominated senile old man, and power hungry female who will do anything, or apparently, anyone to get to the top, and you got the cast iron gall to pretend to some sort of moral authority? Give it a rest it's not funny any more it's, by turns, sad pathetic, and quite possibly depraved.

    I don't think more viewers will tune in for Biden's prerecorded speech. If it was live even I would watch just for the fun of watching him **** it up as Obama put it but prerecorded it will be a snorefest.

    I would make a friendly suggestion that you ratchet back some of the more "personal" comments.

    As far as the general comment about:

    "senior old man"?

    Trump is so hated (and America is so hungry to get him out) that in this Binary Choice...

    ...Trump is LOSING to "Weekend at Bernie's"...

    Let that sink in...:salute:

    Maybe Putin hacked the ratings. We need an investigation on this when Trump is reelected

    Perhaps its because most people voting for Biden are actually just voting against Trump. Biden is just a name on the ballot with a d next to it.

    Trump is losing to slanted polls that conservatives and more than half of independents won't even answer the phone for.
