Say Something Completely Random And Off Topic

Yet again, you prove to the world you are dumber than you look.  Anyway who thinks Barr is acquitting himself well as AG of the USA is an absolute numskull.......

Really...pull your head out of the sand.  When poll workers “discover” 1500 or so ballots in the trunk.  The new project Veritas video showing some clown driving around with 300 Absentee ballots...sure, it is going to go smoothly.  I think Bill Barr is absolutely fantastic and one of the main reasons I hope Trump is re-elected.  Do you walk around with confidence?  You shouldn’t.

Lying?  How about a bit of cheekiness.  I'm not undecided.  I could never get behind the current group of democrats and what they stand for.  For the utter attempt at destruction of Justice Kavanaugh with a vicious smear and lie campaign to the silence and support of the rioters and false narrative  against the police across the country.  

There are so many more unfair practices going on.  CNN, MSNBC and others cannot find ONE negative story to write about Biden...but can find a new one everyday to write on about Trump?  Really...not ONE?  You're just being fed their narrative and steered to voting the way the want you to.

Perhaps that's because Biden is a good guy while Trump is a malevolent narcissistic psychopath who will say or do anything to further himself to the detriment of anyone and everyone?  Just a thought.

Easy pickings!  Every word he utters is a lie.  Total disregard for law.  Not paying taxes. Playing doctor on TV where 205K folks have died.  He just invites the stories, to address his fake narratives.

Really it comes down to this for me.  Is Biden the ideal candidate, not for me.  But I do believe he will do what he believes to be in the best interest of the US, whereas the current occupant would step over each of his kids for his own self interest.

He'd step ON his kids or anyone else if it served his purpose.  As he's done with so many of "the best people" he's hired who subsequently left.

Biden is a "good guy" only in comparison to Trump, which isn't saying much.  It may be enough to get him elected, but it doesn't necessarily mean he'd be a good president or a good candidate for president, other than in comparison to Don. 

It's sad that this is the best that anyone can attract to run.  Anyone that truly is qualified for the job is smart enough to realize they don't want it. A truly sad state of affairs.

Biden is a "good guy"?  C'Mon Man!  What CSM said...Biden is totally corrupt.  40+ Years in DC and not right on any foreign policy decision (as stated by military leaders).  

Can handle the Covid pandemic?  Highly doubtful...Obama's Admin to the Ebola virus flat out stated "they did every possible thing wrong in response to H1/N1".  60 Million Americans infected and it was just a fortuity that it was not a great mass casualty event in American history".  

Yes...that is the guy we now want / need as President.  I'll stick with President Trump.  As stated and agreed by many...Trump has done more for Americans in 4 years than Biden in 40.

Tonight should be fun.

Oh...and I forgot...the Obama admin basically stopped counting infections during H1/N1 citing that we already know we are in a pandemic...why bother counting.

You really should try some sources that use actual facts rather than made-up stuff, Napa.  Seriously.  Given the partisanship of so many American news sources, maybe check your "alternate facts" above against the BBC, or CBC or The Economist or some other reputable non-American news source.  Seriously, you're just embarrassing yourself with the nonsense and BS you post!

But he said " As stated and agreed by many..."  that doesn't come off as factual to you?

Non-partisan and the CBC should never be uttered in the same sentence, unless it’s to highlight the extent to which the CBC is decidedly not non-partisan.

Really? I will not do the research to find for you the hundreds of statements and videos showing the huge character difference between these two men. I don't know what the hell is your idea of a "good guy" is. A decent, upright person with empathy is my definition. And if you don't see the chasm in common decency between these two men then you must be using your own definition of the word.

I find it funny that you guys are literally arguing against q-anon and breibart repostings. 

And no, you shouldn't argue against sensationalist websites who clearly have no intention to spend money on fact checking.

The problem is Trump just has a flood of diarrhea (mostly lies) coming out of his mouth. Biden's mistake is he keeps laughing (doesn't anybody remember Al Gore's sighing?) and everything Trump says to him he responds to thereby essentially letting Trump interview him and control the debate.

The fact is that Trump is very good at insulting people. He is very good at lying. He's just not very good at being President.

A good guy like being a segregationist? Or voting against the civil rights act? Just curious. 

Biden is a piece of garbage. He’s just slightly less ripe than Trump. Who frankly cleaned Biden’s clock in the debate.  

 The canadians that hop on these discussions is also very amusing.  Must be all that new facial hair on Justin Trudeau that turned over the conservative party and their complaints.

I don't know how old you are but Biden is 77. You are very lucky if you haven't made mistakes during your lifetime. In addition, Biden's admits his errors and has learned from them. Do I really need to quote the dozens (hundreds?) of racist, bigoted, anti-semitic, sexist quotes this Trump has said and to this day doesn't disavow? I had a feeling you were going to come back with this kind of pathetic defense and I was going to tell you I'm done responding.

"Biden is a piece of garbage." Board-O is that you? What a sick thing to say, but there's your style.

"Who frankly cleaned Biden’s clock in the debate." If you consider acting like a child who needs a nap winning. Even Rick Santorum is acknowledging what a bad job he did.

I'm done responding to you.

Not sure csm is really a Canadian. We normally try to avoid making nonsensical comments.

Has he?  I haven’t heard any of that. And the media seem to give him a pass.  

I’ve made plenty of mistakes. I used to vote liberal.  

It’s not pathetic.  It’s fact. I don’t care if you claim you are done with me. You aren’t. No doubt.  And you have no defense, other than it was a long time ago, which if I listen to most liberals, isn’t an excuse.

I should clarify--on this subject. If something interests me in T&E or something different here I will certainly respond to you again.

Just curious, are there 5 parties in the US?

Liberals, Conservatives, Socialists, Racists, and Anarchists.

Or is it if you're Conservative then you must be grouped as Racists, and if you're Liberal, the tagging of socialists and Anarchists is automatic?

A more serious question Is the liberal party defintion the same in Canada the same ideals as the liberal party in the UK and the US?

It's certainly not in France.

Also is the goal in life to try to associate with as many labels as possible?  Or try and be stuck with a rooting for one label, least you be labeled a fairweather fan, I can't decide if we're talking political beliefs or sports.

You may wish to edit out that last comment before you're banned by the moderator. Pretty sure that kind of language violates several forum rules!

The Canadian Liberal Party is a bit to the left of the Democratic Party while the Canadian Conservative is a bit to the right of the Democratic Party. We also have the New Democratic Party which is a little to the left of them both. There are other parties but they win one or two or no seats.

Nope.  Perfectly capable of deciphering your witty yarns.  

That was an embarassment for everyone involved.

"President Trump to the Proud Boys, 'stand back and standby.'" Getting the brown shirts ready. A call to arms! I normally abhor any kind of comparison of Nazi Germany to present circumstances of any kind, but the fact that these scum are neo-Nazis does give pause.

I don't know if there was a clear cut winner, as it was an embarrassment quite frankly.  Wallace sucked as a moderator, Biden scored no points by calling Trump a Clown and telling him to Shut up (even though it was warranted), and anyone that thinks Trump came off looking good must support Fake Bullies that call upon deranged racist white guys to 'stand by' awaiting his commands. 

He won't denounce white supremacy, he's trying to actively delegitimize that election, and is calling for violence.  He's a complete and utter embarrassment.  

If I was the Biden campaign I would not debate again unless they can shut off his mic when it's not his turn.  

debate = fist fight.  The bully only gave his basic $hit talk, no policies, no plans.  In a night of damning lines, to me, it was one of the worst of the night. And it made me sick to my stomach.

While Trump's debate answers seemed aimed at providing aid and comfort to extremists and conspiracy theorists, Biden's message was one of unity, assurance and a return to normality.

The Commander in Chief of the United States military refused to condemn White supremacy.  He gave a wink and a nod to a far-right extremist organization -- The Proud Boys -- telling them to stand back & stand by.  For riot control?

Biden was justified to tell him to shut up.  Next debate should be by ZOOM, and have only one mic working at once [Biden's] .   Or possibly just cancel the next two debates.  I like Kirsten Welker, but don't think she is powerful enough to control a bully.  Maybe we should give her a bat or a Taser

It's ok when The Old Man replies like that though right?  Didn't seem to care when he said that to me.

And CSM seems pretty level headed and spot on in the majority of his posts (not that he needs any backing from me).

Really??? Which part is incorrect or not a fact in the statement I posted.  Those words were direct from Ron Klain. Do I need to link the video?  

Trump made two mistakes.  First when discussing Beau Biden, Trump should have said, that as a parent, he was very sorry for Joe's loss of a son.

And certainly should have come out a lot stronger on denouncing white supremacy...but he really did that when speaking about Charlottsville...but of course, his follow up Q & A got twisted.
