Everything is on fire - the US politics thread

he’s setting everything up for both scenarios. He wins then he’ll continue and if they don’t have a vaccine ready, he’ll just blame the Democrats for punishing. If he loses, it’s due to it being a rigged election. If the vaccine isn’t available it’s cos Biden screwed up and if it is, it’s because the Democrats are working with Bill Gates

US now threatening to pull funding from the World Anti-Doping Agency… There’s talk about changing rules so that any country not paying it’s fees is not longer eligible to compete in major competitions…

In the scheme of things that is probably nothing compared to his idea of withholding money from his own citizens… from the ABC

Mr Trump has threatened to defund city governments that are experiencing protests over police brutality.

In the order yesterday, he instructed Attorney-General William Barr to develop a list of “anarchist jurisdictions” that “permitted violence and the destruction of property … and have refused to undertake reasonable measures” to restore order.

As someone who couldn’t care less about drugs in sport, meh.

The world is an increasingly weird and confusing place.

My favourite Youtube anarchist has today got into an argument on twitter today with someone purporting that the USA is a Republic and not a democracy …

Roger Stone now coming out and saying that Trump should declare marshal law should he lose the election…

And Trump now claiming that Pence and co. are anti-vax… Americans really are fucking idiots…

Pence or Pelosi?

Sorry, meant Biden haha

Wow - Biden might just pick up the conspiracy theory anti-vax brigade then… Trump will be dooooomed!

He’s also once again spouting off about “negotiating” a third term.

I am past waiting for something to bring him undone… if the polls dont stretch further for Biden on the back of the Woodward tapes and Covid… then I think we are going to see some closing the gap and go into election day with Biden leading but an underbelly of ‘anything can happen’. The guy is basically teflon when it comes to scandal… .no point thinking something is going to come out between now and November that will really see US citizens running fall ball into Biden’s corner…

Buckle Up

Republicans care more about remaining in power than doing the right thing.

That was the Democrats 4 years ago.
Both sides of politics in America are completely fucked. It’s why the country is in its current position.

And they’re deep-seated sense of exceptionalism, the nasty Puritanism and their inherent racism.

These nutjobs always make the left in the US seem way cooler than they are.

About the time I’m ready to shuffle off this mortal coil there’s going to be a revelation that the coming breakdown of the USA was 30-40 year long game by the CCP and/or Russia.

This is pretty funny. Trump Campaign photo to promote supporting the troops uses an image with Russian Migs and a soldier carrying an AK-47.

Watched a bit of Trumps town hall with undecided voters… sometimes I think his aides or advisors have to be throwing him to the wolves on purpose…

Biden still sitting above 50 on the average of polls… it is a pretty strong position to be in, Pennsylvania with Biden at the moment, there is a chance that if Biden grabs that, it does not matter whether he gets Florida or not.
