It's disheartening that I still personally know at least two people who are both what I'd consider reasonably intelligent (which is a cynically high bar) and yet are still Trump supporters.
It mostly stems from political apathy, I think, coupled with Trump's jaw-dropping record of atrocities giving him sort of a refuge in audacity. They literally think that my list of all the terrible things he's done is fake because it beggars belief if you don't follow politics daily.
All they really know, and care, is that he's not a democrat. You start talking about how much of a criminal he is, and they shrug and say "all politicians are criminals, and he's a business guy, so yeah, it's doubly to be expected." They don't think he's any worse than Biden, or at least that Biden isn't appreciably better, and their lack of information as to Trump's unethical behavior is so sparse that it doesn't overcome the "but I can't vote for a democrat" threshold. And now the amount of accusations against trump has grown so huge that it's too much for them to believe. Because there's no WAY anyone THAT corrupt could actually be in charge, right? It's all fake news by rabid leftists, who have gone overboard on hyperbole because they want their guy in charge.
Boy, I really hope these guys are outnumbered.

In Canada, we are fortunate that much of our health care is covered. Not all of it is, including prescription drugs and various forms of therapy (massage/physio etc) and we require private insurance for this.
I have had such a hard time convincing people that they need supplemental coverage as soon as they leave their parent’s plan. It’s something you get while healthy and use to keep you healthy. If you wait until you’re sick, you may not qualify for coverage.
My work offers subsidized gym memberships. Not through our health plan, but at least we have the option.
Omg that’s a hideous mental image.
But Hilaryz EMAAAAAILLLLLSSSSS!!!!!
It may be wishful thinking, but this looks like desperation to me...frantically scrambling for some kind of 'October surprise'
Residents of The Villages started a 500 golf cart caravan to help get their neighbors to the polls to vote for Biden. Trump heavily won The Villages last election and it was seen as the barometer on which way Florida as a whole would turn. It's another troubling sign for Trump's campaign.
Any other time this image alone would illicit a "???!!!" from me, but now it's just par for the course.

The word is that Trump lost a lot of his senior support after the debates, so I guess I was wrong in my other post that debates don't seem like they would sway people anymore. Biden already had a small lead above Trump, I think about 6 points in the "Over 65" poll demographics, but since the debate Biden is now 20+ points above in that category.
My best guess? Lots of older white men and women got to see them both side by side, and just saw more of themselves in Biden (old, greying without a dye job / toupee, soft spoken, getting dunked on for his age constantly) and started to shift because of that.

The registered nurse who spoke at the RNC in defense of Trump's handling of COVID has been arrested for shooting someone during an argument.
And, in other news: The Taliban has endorsed Trump.

Sounds like a very stable Person to me
Defintely wonder what's going to happen if/when they wean him off steroids.
Also, is there no one that will tell Trump that he's doing a terrible job evenly spreading his makeup? Are people just too scared to mention *anything* that might be negative, even if it's helpful? If the man wasn't evil incarnate I'd feel bad about what is going on with the facemask.

Do they need the president to sign off? I thought the nomination was the sign off
Sure, on November 4th.
Remember: the timeframe for Herman Cain was "tested positive but minor symptoms" to "tweeting from beyond the grave" in like two week.
Rupert Murdoch is expecting a landslide win for Biden. Him and Trump are not on speaking terms at the moment due to all of Trump's bad mouthing of Fox News in recent months.
As for Trump, if the information that the cocktail merely suppresses COVID but does not kill it off are true, then I imagine they are going to keep him on the drugs as long as possible. I imagine he will at least last longer then Herman Cain, but unsure if he will even make it to election day.

Donald Trump Praises Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and Kim Jong-Un
Trump told his supporters in Des Moines, Iowa that he rated the mental state of the three autocratic rulers above that of his Democratic rival, Joe Biden.

Yeah, but now we can inject people with antibodies to keep them artificially active and healthy. Also, reminder that November 4th is 19 days from now, so....2 weeks isn't that far off :-P
