This reply is to a post in the Biden thread:

A lot of MSNBC has been covering Trump's "vermin" comments because Hitler used the same language.

CNN had a story on Anderson Cooper about the Trump machine getting thousands of Trump loyalists vetted and lined up for the purge Trump will do when elected. Trump did poorly in terms of his fascism his first 3 years as POTUS because the system blocked him. It is expected that a second term would be like the end of his first term, replacing all those road blockers with loyalists. The key people behind it are Steven Miller, the Heritage Foundation and the like. Trump is too self-absorbed to run the show.

I'm sort of surprised that Stephen Miller has escaped any indictments. Could be one of the numbers of unindicted co-conspirators in a few.

But he seems like a slippery fellow. Maybe he's cooperating at some level, on some trial.
 
This is disturbing. Trump hates brown people especially Hispanics yet Univision, the leading Spanish language broadcast corporation in the US, has come calling with what I suppose is like Fox News selling blatant alt-right political messaging presumably because of profits (or some payoff?).

Touching prepubescent girls chests is an accusation of pedophilia. Now you deny it? Color me not surprised.

I'm intrigued at the pair of you constantly using that word. The definition of paedophilia is:

a psychiatric disorder in which an adult has sexual fantasies about or engages in sexual acts with a prepubescent child

I don't think he's committed a sexual act, although some of his touching rises to the potential of being classed as a sexual assault in law.

The ladies doth protest too much, methinks.

The bizarre thing about your defence is that Biden himself admitted overstepping the mark. If he's done nothing wrong, why did he apologise say he'd change? (and then fail to)

Feel free to keep defending him, but I sure as hell wouldn't be letting him near my daughter,
 
If he's not a sexual threat to your child, why would you keep him away? That's not very consistent, either he's a threat or he's not.
 
The really hilarious part about the whole saga is that it ought to be a damning indictment on American politics.

A political organisation with 47,000,000 members, 51 US senators, a couple of dozen governors, and thousands of representatives at state and federal level can't find a better candidate than an octogenarian whose only distinguishing trait is that he's not Trump.

I wonder why people like AOC bother.
 
Other candidates and the lack thereof are an entirely separate issue to whether or not he is a pedophile and a threat to your children, or not a pedophile and therefore not a threat to your children.

It's worse than that. It could do so but refuses to.

Yes, my bad.

I should have "won't find a better candidate". With the numbers they have, I don't believe they couldn't if there were any will to try something new.

Pretty much every other country seeks change when a sitting leader is unpopular. Aussie, UK, NZ... all changed leaders several times in recent history as popularity waned. The Dems should be kissing Trump arse for holding sway over the Republicans, because if the R team came up with a half-decent candidate, Biden would get Jimmy Cartered off the map.

I'm intrigued by the sheer disingenousness of your post. You're trying to have it both ways. First you claim that Biden "did, however, grab them [prepubescent girls] by the chest exactly where they've grown breasts in the meantime," and that "If any other adult male touched little girls the way Joe Biden touches little girls, he would either cop a fist in the face or a visit from the police," but then claim that you "don't think he's committed a sexual act."
Sexual assault on a child IS a sexual act on child which is accusing him of being a pedophile. You doth contradict yourself, methinks.

More disingenuous nonsense. Biden apologized for getting in women's personal space and unintentionally making them uncomfortable.

In a video and statement released to his Twitter feed, Biden said that he had always seen politics as about “personal connection” and defended his habit of hugging and touching people he met. But he also added that he would change his habits in the future.

“Social norms are changing. I understand that, and I’ve heard what these women are saying. Politics to me has always been about making connections, but I will be more mindful of personal space in the future. That’s my responsibility and I will meet it,” Biden said.

What YOU are accusing him of is touching little girls in inappropriate places while failing to produce a single supporting photo or video that has not been doctored by the right-wing.

I'm not defending him: I'm exposing your claims as unsupported, misrepresented and/or fake right-wing propaganda because it fits your anti-Biden bias.

Supposing the things go badly for Trump and Nikki Haley ends up the candidate.

How many of Trump's base will write in his name anyway.

In the unlikely event another R is nominated, Trump is certain to declare fraud and keep on running and can probably get his name on the ballot in many states. They won't even have to write him in.

That would be a good thing, split the GOP vote. :thumbsup:
 
Somebody linked a Twitter post by Larry Elder and I read a few lines of his political pitch.

That got me thinking that yes, Trump has a big problem. Some 30% of registered voters are republicans. 70% are not. How can such a hated character win in that situation? It happened just the one time and with a small number of votes in 3 states. Now we actually know him. Many did not back in 2016.

First of all, you don't have to be registered to be a Republican. Secondly, who says Trump is hated by Republicans?
