2020 US Election (Part Two)

[Berzerker]

Fauci and medical professionals told us masks weren't needed. The reason being they didn't want panic buying of PPE because the medical community needed them. So Trump did as told - downplay the use of masks, dont contribute to the public panic buying PPE. Naturally the Democrats accused him of ignoring the experts and science while they told people to go out and have fun amidst the crowds.

What was the question you literally just asked?

The answer is just now...

 

[Berzerker]

What is the lie?

What is the lie?

Without reviewing the thread I'ma take a wild guess that it is whatever you posted.

So, tonight's presidential debate promises to be an entirely new experience in USian politics. Would anyone be interested in a pool where you put in a dollar to pick a number of minutes into the "debate" when Trump storms off the stage? I figure if sixty people play we can use the minutes from 30 to 89.

Was anybody expecting a 'Great Moments in Political Speeches' from the Rock?

The guy is obviously intelligent. He could've said something that wasn't a platitude if he wanted to (or if it was part of his script).

Has Trump admitted to this? Did he not criticise Fauci for this?

Tbh im more curious how Biden will do without a teleprompter. Thats his chance to prove everyone claiming hes senile, cant controll himself etc. the opposite - or that its true. So much of the gop propaganda is based on attacking bidens mental capability, claim he cant think clearly so hes controlled by radical left etc...and i personally know a couple of ppl who see (&would vote) Trump as the lesser of 2 evils because of that... will Biden be able to roast all that part of the gop propaganda in one evening? What do you guys think?
(Btw thats not meant disrespectfull in any way)

Hi,

That contradicts the facts. Yes, your right, in very early months like Feb/March Fauci, CDC etc told us masks werent needed - for the reason you said.
However since April 2020 masks were recommended by the CDC, and later the month by fauci.

In the end of May, trump retweetet a tweet mocking Biden for wearing a mask. Just google (i cant insert links here for some reason) twitter brit Hume masks biden, and check the date of the tweet... trump retweeted this tweet one day later.

Few weeks later (in june) trump said in wsj interview some people wear masks to signal disapproval of him. Id love to provide a link here as source but i guess they suspect all links to be advertising... so just google wsj trump juneteeth, the first result should be the right one.

So yes Trump did acted right with regards to masks in February/March... but not in April - June. (The first time he wore a mask as a role model was July). Thats 3 months. So yes the democrats were right accusing him to ignore science, because he did.

Oh no, their credibility!

Biden will be fine.

He probably got the questions in advance and a wire in his ear to tell him what to say. (Dems care about the questions)


Trump will probably sniff his way through the night again based on whatever drug he took and declined to get the questions in advance because he has no plan to ever answer any of them anyway.


It should be an extremely amusing time-waster

No way Trump storms off the stage. Place your bets.

Its free time on national TV. No way he is passing that up.

I'm more interested to see if it devolves into a shouting/name calling match. Any odds on that?

LOL...I've seen Biden do...well too many to count...town halls without a teleprompter. Your "friends" are getting their "facts" from propaganda central and are not going to see anything they don't want to see.

I think you need new "friends."

Biden will certainly be declared the winner tonight.
I'll bet my tag on it for 1 month.
(If I lose Lord Croissant -> Big Idiot)

Hunter will be off limits and most the the debate will roll around tax returns and covid.

 

[Sommerswerd]

Hunter will be the first thing Trump brings up and Biden will explode like a volcano over it.

It's an effective play since he isn't going to be looking good. He is basically already telegraphing that he is planning to go full elementary school recess. I expect Biden will calmly and coolly say things to his face that Trump doesn't ever hear from his sycophants and he will accuse Biden of "disrespect for the office of the president and these proceedings" in somewhat less formal language and when Biden calls him a liar, a failure, a gross hypocrite, a joke, a fraud, and an assortment of other things that are all true Trump's bluster will be so hollowed out that the storm out might be the closest he can get to salvaging the situation.

Um where u got friends from? Never said any of them is.
To your content, i absolutly agree with u. However, tbh i dont think many trump supporters watch biden town halls... most will watch the debates though. Biden could and prolly will convince the not-diehard-trumpsupporters that didnt had time or motivation to watch his townhall events in this debate with his performance.. in one or the other way.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

No he will coolly list Trump's crimes, punctuated with "you are a liar," "you are a fraud," "you are a..." The things everyone from me to the press core, to the congress, and probably even to a lot of the job security slave suck ups that surround Trump knows are true and wants to say but are kept in check by "respect the office if not the man." I think Biden is waaaaaaaaay better equipped to handle that than Trump because Trump has been protected by a security team since he was six. This might be the first time in his life that someone could tell the truth about him to his face without him being able to put a stop to it.

Sorry. When you said people you knew and apparently knew their voting intentions I took that as friends. My bad.

This ‘debate’ has already given me the feeling that it's like the beginning of a Beastie Boys video.
‘I hope no bad people show up.’
