    I saw a total of 3 other people in the building where Biden was speaking. Trump had a massive overflow crowd in Latrobe, PA tonight.

    Enthusiasm gap.

    The worst job in America or the whole world for that matter is Biden’s sign language interpreter. Lol

    Probably referring to right-wing militias carrying guns around.

    Meanwhile, Trump is encouraging people in NC to vote TWICE, which is a federal crime. But you care about this.

    They don't 'care'. It's just chaff they'll keep flooding the news cycle with to create confusion. If people are talking about these they are not considering real issues of substance where Trump loses. SOP

    Covid Response/ science denial
    degraded alliance with traditional allies, failure to counter Russia, loss of world 'leadership'
    degraded environmental protections and denial of Climate Change/ science denial
    encouraging violence and white nationalism
    Fraud, graft and convictions of his senior staff
    Unable to appoint or retain a competent Bureau heads
    Tax cuts for the rich and corporations in relative prosperity
    Ridiculous emphasis on 'a wall'
    voter suppression
    religious hypocrisy and a general failure of moral leadership

    Biden has said this a number of times at his speeches and it’s obvious he’s being a bit humorous about his senior staff like Simone Sanders etc. being meticulous and tight on keeping him on message. Apparently Jill Biden too is very much in this role as well and all of us men love to joke about our wives giving us hell but we love them for it. That’s a remark virtually any man would make and everyone would chuckle.

    Such a stupid thing they think is a gaff they can exploit but in reality it just shows they are desperate.

    Meanwhile Trump has led the destruction of the American economy and yesterday it came out that he thinks our military are losers. Especially those that die in service.

    RNC and Trump all-in push on “law and order” message isn’t working.

    https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/trumps-law-and-order-message-isnt-resonating-with-most-americans/


    As President Trump continues to push a “law and order” campaign message, we’ve been keeping an eye on the polls to see whether there’s any truth to the narrativethat the recent unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, will help Trump politically. So far, the answer is no. Polls conducted this week and late last week suggest that public attitudes aren’t really breaking in Trump’s direction, even though the Republican National Convention focused a great deal on characterizing the Democrats as the party of chaos and anarchy.

    ...

    We can’t know what other events will unfold between now and November, but we can say that the violence in the wake of Blake’s shooting has seemed to affect public sentiment. That effect isn’t huge, however, and the public hasn’t used that violence to impugn the protests against police violence and systemic racism as a whole. Moreover, more Americans support Biden’s approach to these issues than Trump’s.

    Hypocrisy is your middle name...

    “If, for some reason, I were not to have won the election, these markets would have crashed. That will happen even more so in 2020. You have no choice but to vote for me, because your 401(k), everything is going to be down the tubes.”

    “Whether you love me or hate me, you have got to vote for me,”

    Except that is the Trump campaign message. Nearly all of his ads and rhetoric is "vote for me or the country will be destroyed."

    Do you consider Trump's campaign then to be blackmail?

    I don't know if this was brought up earlier. In Kenosha appearance he showed up with the previous owner of a store in a photo op and not the current store owner.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...clined-Trumps-request-photo-opp-replaced.html
    Owner of burned out Kenosha camera store accuses Trump of misleading the public after he REFUSED to appear in photo-op with the president and was replaced with the man who owned the shop before him
    The real owner of a burned out Kenosha business declined Donald Trump's request for a photo opportunity at his store 'because everything he does turns into a circus' - only to be replaced by another man who hasn't owned the store for eight years.

    Tom Gram, owner of Rode's Camera Shop in uptown Kenosha which was destroyed during unrest last week, said he refused to participate in the president's PR stunt as Trump did the rounds in the city Tuesday.

    The businessman, who has owned the camera shop for eight years, was then shocked to see the previous owner posing on TV as the distraught owner in front of his burned-out store and praising the president for coming to the city's rescue.

    Gram slammed Trump for using his shop for political gain and misleading voters by using a stand in for him in order to drum up support ahead of the November election.

    This marks the latest controversial staged photo opp from the president after his infamous Bible snaps outside a Washington DC church back in June - despite the president's own rhetoric around the so-called 'fake news' agenda.

    Rode's Camera Shop, which dates back to 1911, was destroyed last week during unrest sparked by the police shooting of black man Jacob Blake who was gunned down by cops in front of his three young children.

    The store windows were smashed, looters stole merchandise and it was set alight.

    The White House reached out to Gram Monday asking him to pose with the president outside the damaged store during Trump's controversial trip to Kenosha Tuesday afternoon.

    Gram told TMJ4 he immediately turned down the request because he didn't want to be involved in Trump's 'circus'.

    'I think everything [Trump] does turns into a circus and I just didn't want to be involved in it,' Gram told TMJ4.

    But rather than miss out on a chance for publicity, the real owner was simply replaced by a 'fake' business owner who stood next to Trump and heaped praise on the president for 'calming things down'.

    Gram told TMJ4 of his surprise when he saw on TV the man he bought the business off eight years ago - John Rode III - posing outside his store and being introduced by Trump as the owner.

    'John Rode III, owner of Rode's Camera Shop,' Trump said as he introduced Rode.

    Rode told the cameras: 'I just appreciate President Trump coming today, everybody here does.

    'We're so thankful we got the federal troops here. Once they got here things did calm down quite a bit.'

    The president has been taking credit for the arrival of National Guard troops in the city following unrest last week.

    However it was actually Wisconsin Democratic Governor Tony Evers who deployed the National Guard to the city - 24 hours before Trump announced Guard troops be used.

    Trump responded to Rodes' praise with: 'A day earlier would have saved his store.'

    Gram bought Rode's Camera Shop from the Rode family eight years ago after he worked there for more than four decades.

    Rode still owns the property where the store is located - at 2204 Roosevelt Road in Kenosha - but not the business.

    Gram slammed Trump for deceiving the American public and for using his battered business to try to claw in voters.

    He told TMJ4 he was disappointed Rode's comments have been framed as representing the views of a hard-hit business owner - something he points out is not the case.

    'I think he needs to bring this country together rather than divide it,' Gram said of Trump.

    Wow.... that color scheme and cut of his suit hasn't been popular, or even acceptable in 30 years.... that was from the Arsenio Hall era... Also nice lifts in the shoes.

    Except it isn't really? The numbers are almost identical.
