I can't figure out how to embed it, but here a link to a portion of the interview. Jesus.

Jesus, the man is an intellectual wasteland. "Testing not good, make more cases. No testing, no cases. Look, pieces of papers say so. Papers not wrong, lickspittles say. Must be true, I say so."
Biden should just play that interview as a campaign meme. The GOP should make every elected member watch it (Clockwork Orange style) as a reminder to the damage this nation sustains when it nominates/elects a complete and unadulterated piece of shit. I think a nationally televised apology to the American people, by the Repubs for inflicting Trump and his toadies, would go a long way to save the downstream GOP candidates.“Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend.

You know, when I see some of Biden’s and Trump’s video spots, it makes me sad. These two are the best America has to offer? Jesus.Last edited by AlabamAlum; August 4, 2020, 08:41 AM."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln

Yeah. It's pretty awful.
I think if the Ds issued a national apology for nominating Joe Biden it'd go a long way to smoothing things over with the Rs. LOL.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

The last thing Joe Biden needs to do is a live debate with Trump. Why risk it. Just keep running his TV ad campaigns, they are well designed. We're just over three months until the general elections. Trump isn't going to recover ...... every time he appears before the camera, he weakens his standing.
I think it was DSL that said he had 30% of the voters who remained supportive of his reelection. I can't imagine anyone but the completely blind that would argue to give this man another 4y. And then there is this .......
Trump supporters and the rest of the US electorate can look forward to the Manhattan DA getting Trump's taxes and then filing criminal charges against him for widespread criminal conduct within the Trump organization. I suppose actual charges won't happen until he's a US citizen although I believe SCOTUS ruled in July that he is not immune to a grand jury investigation. Congress would have to act to impeach while he's still president - that would be a waste of time.
Trump's attorneys filed on Monday citing presidential harassment; the DA responded with his own filing saying, hey, the Supremes already told you, your'e not immune. Nothing more to see. The results of a soon to happen grand jury investigation demonstrative of criminal conduct before and while in office should just about shut up any support he may have remaining. Biden just needs to coast and unlike HRC, who also decided to coast then lost, the circumstances are totally different. Sleepy Joe can win this in a landslide by just laying low.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

Trump is hard to debate. He is very good at simply discounting any fact or point you make with a “WRONG!” and a smirk. His base eats it up even if he offers nothing really substantive to counter it."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln

It would take something unthinkable for Biden to lose now. If limits his exposure that's more than enough. Hell, he could probably talk all day and it wouldn't matter because the Media is SOOOOOOOO invested in his election. I mean, Tara Reade? (lol); "black people who vote for the Rs aren't really black" (lol).
He has an infinite number of free passes from here to November.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

Frankly, the EU isn't much better off, in fact, for me, they are way less better off and that is mostly due to the strong socialist bent - and all the shit that goes with that - that permeates the EU leadership's thinking.
Anyway ..... tough times. My retirement is looking less and less fun as time goes on. A 1%'ers problem but still. Hard not to personalize the long term impact on me, my kids and their kids of the world's crises.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished.

Perhaps covid will give us (semi) substantial debates. If both candidates are remotely broadcasting, the moderators can shut the mic off the person NOT speaking - and no split screen. You see and hear only the speaker. No over talking, no interruptions, no soundbite hissy fits. Force the candidates to make their case in a glaring spotlight without the crap that has become the recent norm in political debates.
