Dementia Joe is so clueless about his own running mate. He should be challenging her to do the same.

You are a cartoon character. I moron cartoon character. Houston Republicans have sued to limit absentee voting. Here is what else: '"The legal filing also includes allegations, without specific evidence, that a number of prominent Democrats in the Houston area are engaged in “ballot harvesting.”'
You are an idiot.
"Based on interviews, review of documents, and other information, [investigator Captain Mark Aguirre has] identified the individuals in charge of the ballot harvesting scheme,” the filing stated, citing to an accompanying affidavit from Aguirre. Aguirre claims to have “video-taped interviews of witnesses attesting to the aforementioned people having groups of people completing thousands of absentee and mail-in ballots” and concluding that the “entire operation is being run by the elite politicians of the Democrat Party in Houston/Harris County.”
The Texas Supreme Court has not ruled on this case and you have jumped to a conclusion- very very stupid.
Sounds iron clad to me. What is your level of education? Afraid to tell us I see.

Bend over Biff will surely inform us of it rises to this level.
Frankly I don’t care what he tells us about his level of education. Whatever it is, he must have slept through it all. Unless you’re rich or an opportunist, you have to be dumber than trump to keep up this unshakable support. Bend over Biff is a dumba$$ to the core. Just over the last couple of pages, he’s shared a handful of lies and uncorroborated accusations. Not a shred of truth in almost anything he posts. Rock solid stupidity.

Nope.
Almost everyone on here who was not a Trumpette was saying all along that Trump was a terrible businessman. How many times did people point out that if he had just put the $400 million that he inherited from his daddy into an index fund he would have been WAY ahead of his supposed $3 billion. How many times did people on here say he was probably hiding his tax returns because they would tell the story of how broke he actually was? How many times did folks on here mock him and his supporters for his unending bankruptcies? It goes on and on. FH, FP, P, 1100, Conundrum, agip . . . I can't keep track of them all and can't be bothered to look up the specific track record of them all. But many, MANY have said, over and over again that Trump is an absolutely HORRIBLE businessman. And the naysayer chorus started back in 2016.
Not true. Back in 2016, that was not the case. FH was easily the most vocal about it, and among the first here if not the first.
Unfortunately, the thread where I started saying Trump was "terrible at business" is now gone. So we can't prove anything one way or the other. I will tell you what I remember.
Except for using the phrases "terrible at business" and "terrible businessman", this was not my original idea. I read a rather obscure analysis of Trump's net worth through the years. The article compared his growth in net worth to the S&P 500. I pointed out on LRC that the numbers showed what they showed. He is terrible at business.
From what I remember, most but not all reactions were that I must be wrong. Most people said that Trump is probably exaggerating his wealth but that he is undeniably successful.
I just stuck by the numbers. And the numbers showed that he was a terrible failure.
But that old analysis of failure is dwarfed by the latest numbers in his income taxes. He's not just terrible at business. He is probably the worst businessman of all time.

Authoritatively unraveling Trump's wealth through the years probably isn't possible on the public information, but there's a Wikipedia article that gives an overview and references to a number of the analyses that have been published.

It is trashing Trump all day long.
Smoburn trashes Trump with good reason. He's the biggest embarrassment this country has produced in modern times. He doesn't care about anyone outside of himself and his immediate family and all decisions are made to benefit himself, anyone else named Trump and, transactionally, others that fall in line with them. He literally did not care that the virus and wildfires were ravaging liberal strongholds.

Obama did not have a big tent. He told the Republicans to get in the back of the bus while it was in the ditch. He used terms like "us" and "you." He was not inclusive of the other party. HOW COME NOT ONE REPUBLICAN WAS INVOLVED IN DRAFTING OBAMACARE? Please DO NOT tell me that Obama welcomed input from the other party. If you do you are a effing liar.
He tried. His problem was that the Republicans of this century care more about not giving Democrats a win than enacting meaningful and helpful policies for the people. Democrats have been guilty of this, too, but the GOP has mastered this scorched earth policy.
Obama wanted to use the government to create a better health care reality for most Americans, working towards levels of coverage seen in virtually every other industrialized nation. While Republicans of decades ago could have supported that, there was really no chance of that happening now. Both for the desire to block any success to the Obama administration and because the mantra that Reagan emblazoned onto the GOP was that "government is the problem." Republicans can run with this and reduce funding and essentially sabotage the ability of government programs to work well, and then point to them and say, "see, the government can't run anything. Now let us cut taxes at the top and reduce government funding even more." So passing a new entitlement program for any public benefit doesn't fit in that ideology, and certainly not with a member of the other party in the White House.
Good evidence of Obama's (misguided) attempt to work with Republicans can be seen in his pick of Merrick Garland for the Supreme Court. Garland is not regarded as extreme by anyone and was a few years from 70 at the time of his nomination. It was a gesture of good will that, yes, Obama's nominee to replace Scalia late in his final term as president would change the ideological balance of the court, but that Garland was a middle of the road pick and was old enough that he wouldn't have had the same impact in the long run as a much a young candidate could have.
No one's perfect. But Obama is decent man who wanted to make the country a better place for all Americans. Trump is a horrible person who only cares about his own wealth and protection from consequences. He's entirely lacking in compassion and empathy. There's no comparison.
Jeff Wigand, every time I see you're name I think it's Bad Wiggins, who you obviously are not.
I never see Bad Wiggins in this thread so he must post as Rigged or Sally, because I know he isn't skipping this thread with all of his political opinions elsewhere.
Anyway, good post at the attempted bipartisan effort of Obamacare.
It was literally modeled after Romneycare and former Republican proposals to mandate healthcare insurance and have insurance exchanges and subsidies vs Democrat proposals of a government provided single payer type coverage.
Obama and the Democrats wrote the bill based on Republican proposals and not one Republican would sign off on it.
Just like how Republicans openly said they would accept Merrick Garland as a Supreme Court Justice until Obama actually nominated him.
If Obama introduced the idea of making Reagan a saint, Republicans would vote against it.
And what has Trump done? Looked for anything Obama did and reversed it. He even wouldn't put his portrait up.

Have to mention that David Frum is a Republican and was a speech writer for George W Bush.
Rasmussen daily tracking on presidential approval:
As rigged and sally have said over and over again Sleepy Joe is a demented old man. Trump is a stable genius played 8 dimension chess. He will mop the flood with Sleepy Joe tonight.
Anything other than a total victory by Donald would be very surprising given the above. Right sally and rigged?
Rassmussen not looking good for Trump.
Rigged better find a new polling source to corroborate his view of how the election will go.
He can't cite Fox News
Eric Trump on Fox News: The LGBT community, they are incredible. And you should see how they come out in full force for my father every single day. I'm part of that community.
Hmmmm..... Eric Trump seems to have come out of the closet. His wife? she probably already knew. He seems to have come out because his daddy needs votes to stay out of jail more than Eric needs private. How low will the Trumps go?

You should be more concerned with YOUR level of education. "Ironclad" is one word after all. What kind of sentence is "afraid to tell us I see?"
