Pretty much if I'm told it's fake news then I'm going to believe that it's fake news.

OK - Let's try this.

ALL of the outlets you have listed engage in fake news.

Do you believe me ?

No, just in a youtube loop of talking heads getting outraged about AOC's feet while they discuss such "intellectual" topics as Cultural Marxism (not to be confused with Cultural Bolshevism which is completely different).

Considering that I trust Trump and those other media outlets more than you then I'm not inclined to believe you tbh.

I think we can take that statement as I’m on a wind up and all move on.

Mike Pence is being very dishonest about North Carolina numbers, not surprisingly. I mean sure if you ignore the whole Covid thing and the 190k dead people then everything is rosy!

In reality it's:

- 80,000 jobs lost since election Day
- 8.5% unemployment
- 6% increase in hourly earnings over 4 years (1.5% pa) when adjusted for inflation.

Between this and Trump encouraging North Carolina Republicans to commit voter fraud, I'm getting the impression they're worried about their prospects there. Biden leads by 1.8% in NC, a state republicans have only lost once since the 1970s when Obama beat McCain by 0.3% in 2008.

What I've got from reading the last few pages today, if my reading comprehension is up to scratch..

Donnie, the tax dodger is only dodging taxes because it's his and everyone else's patriotic duty to do so while at the same time while not being a criminal is paying tens of millions of dollars in innocent "taxes" when criminal cases are brought against him?

And Ben what's his face, yeah he's an independent factual unbiased source of news info.. question, where does Bennie boy get his stories from to talk about, doesn't he piggyback off people (the MSM) actually asking questions of people and getting the story to which Bennie comes along and spins the nuts off it to his opinion..

What a time to be alive ladies, gents and trolls alike, wonderful stuff.

David Mitchell did a great bit on Graham Norton about the media lying, funnily if I remember right HC and Chelsea were also guests that night.

You previously claimed that they had no special interested so you're clearly not great at judging impartiality...

I see Biden is off to WI and going to meet with Blake's family.

Joe can say goodbye to votes from normal regular people, in a swing state, who support law and order and their local police forces by pandering to a thug and his family.

Trump gave condolences over the death of a white supremacist the other day.... He also asked the American public to attempt voter fraud yesterday. Very law and justice.

If it turns out that Joe's visit doesn't lose him the support of normal regular people, will you look inward and ask yourself what went wrong?

But it's not a right wing fantasy

People in general support and respect law and order, and in general have a positive view of police, not just in the US but in any western democracy.

Put it in an Irish context, do you think a politician would get much support if he was seen to pander to the family of a person with warrants and charges against them who had been injured in an altercation with police (take the shooting out of it because the Gardai don't tend to shoot people).
If that person was a traveller perhaps.

The politician's support would drop like a stone.

To win the election Biden has to win the support of a relatively small demographic.
That demographic is white, blue collar, small c conservative and older.
This is exactly the demographic that have a tendency to respect and support local law enforcement.
They do not have a good view of ethic youths with criminal histories.

"Ethic youths". You mean black and brown people right?? By the way what "criminal history" did Jacob Blake have?

The fact that we've been hearing since May from right wingers about how these protests will vault Trump back into the lead and an easy reelection despite the opposite occurring over that time, would suggest otherwise.

Cool, so why are you ignoring the president telling the public to break the law? Why are you ignoring that he gave condolences to a white supremacist the other day? Also, you realise the US public currently view Biden to be more trustworthy on law and order? Which is understandable given the amount of criminals that he's hired and pardoned over the years.

On top of that, I would expect a moderate/undecided voter views police brutality to be something that should be handled rather than to let the issue grow? The guy in charge eggs on violence if they represent him, he's praised militias. He even proclaimed the innocence of the shooter who has been charged with homicide... That's not a law and justice president. It's an autocrat.

If they're so keen on law and order they shouldn't support a man who repeatedly breaks the law, states the law doesn't apply to him, or keeps pardoning criminal cronies. But it's not law and order many of them want. It's SOME of the laws and the order of their own comfortable bubble.

He's no more of a thug than the criminals Trump has hired to do his dirty work.

Remember what Trump said about football players should go back playing and that young fit men would be unaffected by the virus. Yeah well about that:

The people I'm talking about, the voters, would use another word for him, it starts with n and finishes with r.
Just because they use that term however does not mean they are right wing nut jobs.

America is a very racist country, even in blue cities like Boston in blue states like Massachusetts blacks and whites almost never mingle, they live in different areas, socialise in different places, play in different sports etc.

As for his criminal histories,I believe he was as want for third-degree sexual assault, trespassing and disorderly conduct in connection with domestic abuse on July 6.

So he was not a criminal because Trump supporters already established earlier in this thread that it's impossible to be a criminal unless you've been convicted. It looks like the Trumpist messaging is a bit inconsistent tonight.

Someone should have a word with those "Normal Regular people" so

Bidens support has increased in Wisconsin since the start of all the trouble there and Trumps has declined..

And in the 6 Polls taken in Wisconsin since the Blake incident the Biden lead is as follows

Biden 50% , Trump 42% - 8%
Biden 49% , Trump 41% - 8%
Biden 52% , Trump 42% - 10%
Biden 53% , Trump 42% - 11%
Biden 51% , Trump 43% - 8%
Biden 53% , Trump 40% - 13%


Hmmm???

Not the most gentlemanly moment, I agree.


Ever heard of a guy called Trump? There are so many more and they're so much worse.


The US presidency is a two horse race. Nobody is saying Biden is perfect. Just that Trump is massively worse in every regard. Every criticism lobbed at Biden is something that Trump as far worse at. Outside of tickling peoples' racism bone, Trump has nothing on Biden who's fairly boring.

As opposed to tan in a cans less than perfect record. Seriously lads if you're gonna call Biden out for something then make sure your own guy hasn't done much worse first :pac:

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.businessinsider.com/trumps-worst-insults-toward-women-2018-10%3famp

You can now add "horseface" to the list of insults President Donald Trump has hurled at women publicly, which also includes "fat pigs," "slobs," and "dogs," to name a few.

Oh, for goodness sake, he was clearly joshing. She and the audience members laughed along. It's a throwaway line from some old film he has used before in a lighthearted way.

It's a clumsy joke, clearly no malice behind it.

I'm not disagreeing that there is an obvious contraction there.

But as I said earlier people tend to support their local police department.

The people that they see as keeping their property, their locality and themselves safe.

They often turn a blind eye to criminality that they don't persive to impact them, I think we all do.
