If he wins in November then basically democracy is fucked.

I think this is right, though I’m not sure what “fucked” means quite yet. It won’t be as it has been for sure. If Democrats flip the Senate however while he wins and some of the Republicans in their last terms get goosy about him, impeachment for any number of reasons could crop up again. Regardless, except vengeful policies/politics that will leave national unity in tatters if he wins.

Impeachment won’t happen. I said that in 2017, and I say it now.
 
and when his spokesperson was challenged on this with the interviewer saying there is no evidence of widespread vote rigging using mail in votes the response was " ahhh...but there is no evidence there isn't either"

America is fucked and we need to steer well clear whilst this dick is at the helm
What are you on about.
It’s the best democracy money can buy.
 
Just read that Trump has been talking to God.
Asked Him how He thinks he's doing and got the reply "you're doing great."
 

It’s because a large portion of evangelical Christians are just one large apocalypse cult — they want everything in Revelations to happen so the rapture can come and take them up to paradise as the truly wonderful, devout, perfect humans chosen by god.

They also see Jerusalem as belonging to them as much as (if not more than) it does Jewish or Muslim people.

The evangelicals are quite possibly in general the worst human beings on the planet.
 
Artificially boosting the markets (whilst no doubt making money for themselves on the side)?



This is dangerous beyond belief if true.

It is indeed incredibly dangerous on many, many levels.

But Trump and co have been doing that since early on in his term (though at smaller scale back then) and it has only been sparsely reported and scrutinised.

Now, with the CARES act and various emergency Fed powers they’ve kicked their market manipulation, embezzlement, and general corruption in to high gear. He has to keep the oligarchs happy, keep his businesses afloat, continue to con his supporters that think the stock market is the economy.

Trump keeps saying the markets will crash if he isn’t re-elected. And it is true, but not for the reasons he implies. It’s actually a veiled threat similar to his “promise” to forgive the Payroll Taxes of which he has delayed collection only if he is re-elected, otherwise everyone will have to pay the back taxes in one lump sum come early next year.

It’s house of cards atop the back of an elephant balancing on a fence post in the middle of quick sand.

Most US voters just don't seem to grasp that the stock market is no the economy.

It’s a problem in many places.

I have a great uncle in Spain that refuses to listen when I am tell him the stock market is not the economy. And I am a ****ing trained economist!

People always want simple, relatively easy indicators for in reality infinitely complex and difficult to understand/predict systems.

It just so happens Trump supporters tend to be even more ignorant, unintelligent, and/or gullible than the average human and thus it has been supremely easy for Trump to play on their desperation for simple explanations and fixes.

“See, the stock market is going up! Things have never been better! Trump did that! Only Trump can keep that line going up! The stock market is the only thing that matters for anyone. And it’ll crash if I don’t get re-elected.”

“Sir, that’s the Cumulative COVID-related Deaths chart.”

“Ahh, umm... well, it’s going up! Only I can do that! It’ll crash if I don’t get re-elected!”

The only 'good numbers' I'd like to see in relation to Trump is 270+ in the column for Biden in the Electoral College on the 4th November.

But that's another debate.


I feel with this election the way I felt about 'Arry Bentwatt's tax avoidance trial. The evidence is there to get them removed from society, but one technical fuck up will ensure they win.


I don't feel the giddiness certain media outlets and academic experts have predicted.
