Political Thread

Here we go again with the polls. The big issue I see is that America was betting on Trump being a better option than Hillary or were optimistic. They also didn't know how he performed politically. Now that we've seen what he can and cannot do, America knows what they're voting for come November. Biden has his position clear and now Trump does. Last election was an unknown versus a known. Now we're dealing with two knowns. It can go either way really so polls don't matter as much as enthusiasm in SWING STATES ONLY. You can pull a huge crowd in a state like OK because it's full of republicans. Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and other swing states need high support for Trump to win, or low support for Biden to let the Trump voters to make the state swing his way. Don't call it a Trump or Biden win based on polls, because they don't matter anyway.
 
You have some good points here. It is the “in” thing to do now. I hate it when people do things only because it is “in” to do so. It probably should have been taken down long ago.

The push to remove these statues and monuments has been ongoing for decades, it just never had to correct social atmosphere where people are socially sympathetic in enough numbers to push back against the old guard that wants them to stay. So I wouldn't say its all happening now because its the "in" thing to do but rather we final have matured enough as a nation to understand why they need to go.....its always been a matter of time before these things went away, in a lot of ways its one of the ( hopefully) final chapters in the healing process this nation is still going thru 140 yrs after the civil war/slavery ended....
 
The N&O has a great video of the 75ft monument in Raleigh being removed:
 
We are fighting a global pandemic and he's worried scoring political points and case numbers rising so much that it'll make him look bad. This makes me so angry.

:mad::mad::mad::mad:

Well he cares more about being re elected than people getting sick and dying....thats why we are in this mess to begin with, remember "15 cases soon to be zero, or the numerous times throughout Feb and early March Trump deliberately downplayed this.....how anyone can support him at this point is truly mind blowing....

So glad we defunded the WHO as that is where that info was coming from. That’s a organization we can all get behind defunding. Well maybe China wouldn’t.

He’s handling the virus the right way now. In my opinion nothing should of ever shut down. People should have just started wearing mask under a mandatory order. With limits on building capacity. Shutting down was the wrong move in my opinion

Has any of you watched the whole video? Just shifting the testing responsibility over to local and private sectors

Not having federal government support in a time of crisis is a good thing?

Lol k.

Doesn't make sense why the federal government can't continue to support these testing centers even if the local and private sectors are running the show

Why are you " lol j/k" me? I did not say if it is a good idea or not. I would think there should be a little bit more lead way before jumping.

To be fair, Joho said that Trump closing off entrance of Chinese from China was "racist, zenophobic and just plain wrong"

BS period......they knew it was coming and that it would be bad as early as mid to late Jan......just look at Sen Burr selling off stocks in motels and hotels etc in Jan after a Senate Committee meeting where the impact of Covid was discussed....so anyone that tries to say the US didnt know what was coming or Trump was misled by the WHO is just a shill pushing propaganda.....there is much evidence that this was spiraling out of control and Trump just told everyone it would be fine, sandbagged testing, etc etc etc.....all you got is "Trump banned people from China" and even that was to little to late.....the problem was instead of acknowledging that there was a real threat of a pandemic in the US and beginning to react to that they did the opposite.....

I dont care about that, at all.....they are all idiots.....Trump is the president no one else, he actively downplayed a threat he was well aware of because he DID NOT WANT it to happen, the proverbial head in the sand hope for the best plan is the one we got from Trump.....it didnt work.

No jumping here, it’s common sense: why would cutting any funding to testing centers whether it be from the federal or private sector be a good thing right now?

Yep, the liberal Dems largely badly suck just like Trump. As Chris Jericho would say, they all suck.

Many of the liberal Dems are hypocrites and bigots in their own way who try to label everyone via identity based politics while Trump is a narcissist constantly lying jerk who is guided by what's best for himself rather than what's best for the US and who is incredibly divisive and often wishy-washy. I cannot support either at all. IF Biden can show me that he's largely staying clear of the liberals' influence and if he shows me his mind is ok, he may get my vote. Otherwise, write-in or 3rd party is most likely.
 

Everyone rallied around a false premise. They thought Bubba was a victim of a hate crime but now many believe he was the perpetrator of one. That’s the nature of of the beast when you crash the airwaves attacking the character of NASCAR fans around the country. He made his bed. Now it’s time to lay in it.
 
The narrative was “NASCAR is racist. Change or we’ll change it for you.”

The timeline was.

A) bubba wants to remove the confederate flag from nascar.

B) Bubba finds a noose in his garage

C) bubba gets air time and uses his position to shine light on racism in his sport.

D) FBI determines no hate crime was committed

I mean it’s not hard to see that something stinks here. It’s ok to question motives.

Let me ask you this. Let’s say it’s October 2019 of last year and it’s race week at Talladega, does anyone notice the rope? Anybody? We are living in a day where the media tells us that racism is ALL around us. Don’t question it. It’s out there..trust us

just pulled up the career stats... let’s just say if he was white would he still have a seat? My guess is no. So he has a platform and he used it. Now he needs to focus on racing and actually winning.
