Just watched Trump on the lunchtime news.
I feel like that lorry driver who saw the Sex Pistols on the Today show in 1976.

Re: The Trump observations thread
Ha! I have a friend whose wife works for Canada's foreign affairs department and is stationed in the US. Part of her job involved watching the "debates" thus far and taking notes. I told him whatever her salary is, it's not enough to have to sit thru that sewage.Marky Dread wrote: ↑13 Oct 2020, 8:03amJust watched Trump on the lunchtime news.

I hate wishing ill on another human being but seriously I hope this evil fucker catches a second wave of Covid and rids himself from this planet.

I have no moral qualms over wishing death on a predatory monster. Some people's actions, over and over, as a way of life, demonstrate they don't deserve to share society with everyone else.Marky Dread wrote: ↑13 Oct 2020, 9:09amI hate wishing ill on another human being but seriously I hope this evil fucker catches a second wave of Covid and rids himself from this planet.

Re: The Trump observations thread
I can't see us being allowed to leave this country for at least the next 18 months. We're no longer welcome damn near anywhere. I see these lemmings packing into the local expo center to see this guy's sideshow and just think... fuck 'em, I hope they get it.Marky Dread wrote: ↑13 Oct 2020, 10:41amThe earth just moved in Mexico.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑13 Oct 2020, 10:20amI have no moral qualms over wishing death on a predatory monster.

Re: The Trump observations thread
Yep just feels like the blind leading the blind mate. Although in this case Trumps arrogance is going to kill a lot of silly people.

"fast gaining traction" someone should put Trump in traction and fast.

Re: The Trump observations thread
Today, I've accepted that Biden has a better than evens chance of winning and I'm happy as hell about it.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Indeed.

The various poll aggregator places that run sims generally have Biden winning the popular vote, like, 99%+ of the time and the EC around 85% of the time. Of course, that ignores electoral fraud and other duplicity when it comes to counting the votes.

Re: The Trump observations thread
If he "wins," it'll be thru outright fraud, with allies in state legislatures nullifying votes and the like. And it would be the end of any semblance of democracy and presumably martial law declared.Silent Majority wrote: ↑14 Oct 2020, 1:13pmIt's the latter stuff that I've always felt would ensure Trump's victory.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑14 Oct 2020, 12:20pmIndeed.
