WHAT IF PEOPLE IN ONE HUNDRED YEARS DON"T EVEN SAY "WORLD WAR TWO" ANYMORE

[Kidlicious]

The people in the dark shadows are just telling him what to say, what's on the teleprompter. It figures Ming would be cool with that.

Better than not knowing when World War II actually was...
And one of my personal favorites
“I was down there and I watched our police and our firemen down there on 7/11,” Trump told his at the rally in Buffalo, New York.
or another when he couldn't even remember the proper name of a famous National Park...“Yo-semites”

Talk about cognitive decline...

"I did it out of curiosity, because I do have respect and I wanna see, I wonder whether or not someone like that can write good. I don't think he can, but let's see what happens"

Did the President attend Zoolander's school for kids who don't read good and wanna learn to do other stuff good too.

So, I'm curious. Trump has obviously been exposed to COVID-19 several times, considering the number of people near him who have tested positive. He claims to have undergone a hydroxychloroquine regimen for several weeks, and hydroxychloroquine is the cure. We also know that Trump takes other prescription drugs. We know that various drugs react with other drugs in a variety of ways.

Why doesn't Donald J Trump demand that his doctor(s) immediately release to the public what combination of drugs Trump was taking with the hydroxychloroquine so that other Americans can remain COVID 19 free?

[Elok]

If Trump is anything at all like most Americans his age, he was taking at least half a dozen different meds before COVID came. Given his attitude towards Plaquenil, he was likely on more than that. I've known senior citizens who take literally a dozen different prescription pills every day, plus God knows how many weird supplements which are far from inert even if they don't do what's claimed. Trump's particular regimen of meds (A) is peculiar to Trump himself and (B) probably contains a fair number of unnecessary drugs that are only in there because the doctor had a hunch and Trump sorta-kinda thought he felt better afterwards. Often old people are on drugs to manage side effects from other drugs which they take to manage the side effects from other drugs which ...

Individual reactions to any given drug can be deeply and unpredictably idiosyncratic, and likewise interactions between them. For example, Norco does almost nothing for me, while its cousin Percocet just makes me pleasantly sleepy. Yet some people swear Percocet is crap and demand Norco, or get high as a kite from either (a feeling I've only ever had from Fentanyl and Versed together after surgery). Trump might be on lisinopril for hypertension; for most people, that drug is fine, but 20% of the population gets a persistent and intolerable dry cough from using it. And so on.

Moreover, given the sheer novelty of COVID, it's entirely possible that Trump's peculiar resilience is due to some innate factor we don't understand. Bottom line, this just isn't a good idea.

[Uncle Sparky]

I'm young enough to only be on 7 prescription drugs myself. And Elok you should know me well enough after all this time to read between the lines. I personally doubt that Trump was ever on hydroxychloroquine, but would he allow his doctor to say so? And I agree, he probably is on a dozen different drugs... any antipsychotics in there?

I think it would be fun to have the media, or FOXNews, push him to revealing what drugs power him. Putting it the way I did above might even convince analytical thinkers, at least the FOXNews type, that such a revelation would be easy, heroic and a big vote getter.

It is looking like Trump will win. Dems will likely be grabbing a lose from the jaws of victory yet again. I do expect to see still more left wing political violence when it happens.

[Ming]

I personally think neither side will go down peacefully unless it is a indisputable landslide for either of the candidates... sigh

You know we don't riot. Democrats do that. You're trying to maintain your brand.

In current news... While Trump was honoring 9/11firefighters, EMTs and paramedics today...

Trump administration apologizes for defunding FDNY's 9/11 health care program
NEW YORK — The Trump administration apologized Friday for stripping millions of dollars from an FDNY fund that foots health care bills for 9/11 survivors and promised to put an end to the heartless practice.
The administration’s mea culpa came after the Daily News reported Thursday that the Treasury Department has over the past four years siphoned nearly $4 million from the FDNY World Trade Center Health Program, which helps cover medical services for firefighters, EMTs and paramedics still suffering from 9/11-related illnesses.
Treasury Department spokeswoman Rebecca Miller said the administration took the FDNY cash to cover some of the city’s unrelated Medicare debt, which has piled up over the years.
However, Miller claimed her department didn’t necessarily know the funds were being redirected from the FDNY program and blamed the city’s “complicated” collection system.
“It’s wrong, it shouldn’t happen this way, and we are doing everything that we can, working with the city to try and fix this really unfortunate situation,” Miller said. “But at the end of the day, there are administrative hurdles and to a certain extent, our hands are tied by our statutory obligations.”
According to Miller, the City Department of Finance participates in a collection database that allows the federal government to offset one local agency’s federal debt by dipping into another one’s coffers.
She said the Treasury Department is bound by law to collect if there are sufficient funds to cover a debt, but stressed that she considers it “unacceptable” to take cash from sick first responders to cover unrelated Medicare debt.
However, Dr. David Prezant, the FDNY’s chief medical officer who oversees the 9/11 program, told The News this week that he’s been asking the Treasury Department and the city for years about the quiet rerouting of cash and that no one has ever given him an explanation.
Miller struggled to explain why no one got back to Prezant.
“It does feel Kafkaesque in a way that’s really unacceptable,” she said, “but you know I’ve been scouring our records too and trying to find anything, to see if there’s anything specific to Dr. Prezant’s engagement. It could just be that government and the administration is too complicated and the right people weren’t looking at this sooner.”

The latest set of A polls are in. They give Biden as +9 in Arizona, +9 in Florida and + 6 in Wisconsin (last weekend it was +8 in Wisconsin). These fit the other polls and have caused Biden to increase in 538 prediction from about 70% to about 75%. The Economist still has Biden at 85% (they had him as high as 90% two weeks ago).

I have a bad feeling about this.

[Egbert]

And that is proof of NOTHING. Just yours and other trumpettes rants
Trump has shown far more examples of not being in the same reality as the rest of humanity. And blaming his inability to negotiate a ramp because of his "rubber soles"
But then again, keep trying to spread the BS spoon fed to you by the Alt Right Fake news sites. The more educated voters will just laugh

I would like to raise a very important point here.

I think a "trumpette" is a female supporter of Trump.

A male supporter of Trump would surely be a "trumpet".

Am I correct?

[-Jrabbit]

A male supporter of Trump would be a jockstrap.

[Uncle Sparky]

Can't we just agree to call them deplorables?

[-Jrabbit]

No, absolutely not. It motivates them. Look what happened to Hillary.

[Dauphin]

Maybe call them gammon (fat, overweight white men, whose faces turn puffed up red when angry). Maybe call roving bands of Trump supporters a bunch of Hillaries instead - really confuse the hell out them.

Update on important polls (538 A rating):
Marist has Pennsylvania at Biden +9 but Florida at Even
Monmouth has Florida at Biden +4
Emerson has Wisconsin at Biden +6
NYT has Wisconsin at Biden +5 and Minnesota at Biden +9

No A poll update for Arizona or Michigan.

Jon Miller,

All I have seen so far is ZERO citations in any of your poasts the past few months, possible even all year. Quite simply, this is unacceptable. I insist in the strongest possible way for you to poast a citation to back up your walls-of-poasts with some sort of factual back-up.

Thank you.

[Jon Miller]

A citation is not the same as a link. I did cite a source (538). Googling the website and going to the website and looking at recent polls is something anyone can do.
