I look forward to that day, Smudge. It can't come soon enough.

What surprises me, disappoints me, and perplexes me; is people I know who are otherwise seemingly decent, sound, capable, accomplished people who are "Ride'n with Biden". What is the cause of their defacto mental illness?

If you look no further than the MSM headlines you tend to believe them. Several of my friends still do this, it is always hilarious when I show them unedited clips of Biden or Trump that are diametrically opposite of the MSM narrative. Even then they want to believe that these ar emistakes or isolated events.

I know a couple of people like that in California. In their case it's more or less a social thing - everyone they know is a liberal Democrat who's voting for Biden, so doing anything else makes someone a weirdo by the local standards within which they spend most of their time being isolated.

Yeah, in California it's in the air you breathe. It's easy to be a progressive/lib/socialist marxist. It only takes 'feeling' and 'caring'... not knowledge. You are assumed to be a good person if you are a leftist. It's not so easy to be a conservative. Even harder in California.
Scoutmaster, you are to be commended for standing firm.

So you know my sister-in-law?

My bigger challenge is the unknown future. What will wipe out CA first -- a meteor, tsunami, earthquake, or bankruptcy??

Kamala Harris Wasn't Biden's First Choice: Axelrod

Democratic operative David Axelrod says that California Senator Kamala Harris wasn't Joe Biden's top choice for running-mate, and that Harris was picked because of political optics.

"He reportedly clicked well with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, but she would not have fulfilled the desire of those who prioritized a candidate of color," wrote Axelrod in a CNN Op-Ed. "Whitmer, a White moderate pick, also would have raised questions among supporters of progressive champion Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, widely viewed after a lifetime of advocacy and a strong campaign for president as a tough, brilliant and capable policymaker. But some also saw Warren as the most polarizing of the potential candidates, who would have been offered by Trump as evidence that the moderate Biden is merely a Trojan Horse for the left."

"In the end, Biden seriously considered others but returned to Harris as the 'do no harm' candidate, unlikely to thrill or outrage many. She may not seem the most comfortable fit as a governing partner, a quality Biden said he was seeking, but Harris was viewed as the safest pick to win in November," Axelrod continued.

Harris was picked after Biden promised to pick a female running mate, while a group of powerful black leaders insisted earlier in the week that the former Vice President will lose the election without a black VP.

Yeah... Lol. Not so much.
But the interesting thing is that Axelrod says he didn't go with his gut, or who he 'clicked' with but who his handlers thought would 'do no harm'.
In other words, this choice is further evidence that Biden is infinitely malleable; he is not his own man. This is in sharp contrast to Trump.
I think most people will inherently notice/understand this.

repeat of old suggestion:

take a 3x5 index card

write out a few bullets of key points against Biden

turn it over

write out a few key bullet points for supporting Donald Trump

Every time you hear someone support Biden, hammer them. Nothing long or complicated, just a few points

Don't let them get away w spouting BS no matter where they are.

all the way to the election.

OMG, I just heard Biden's "proclamation" that every American should wear a mask outdoors for the next three months. Without regard to my opinion on this issue, just listening to him sounds like he's run out of gas: Monotone, halting, no energy.

Of course, Kameltoe Harris (accent on the second syllable) then stated that this was a demonstration of "true leadership." Yawn.

Dead man walking.

... and after the election the need will suddenly disappear!
It's just fear mongering for purely political purposes.

My education was as a PoliSci major and through that I try not only see the good for my preferred candidate like Trump but also see where he might be vulnerable. Every candidate has weak points and he's no different and Biden/Harris have the same problem. Saying, "Our side is good and perfect and the other team is fatally flawed" isn't shoring up strengths or minimizing weaknesses.

Why did it always seem like the folks that literally flunked out of physics, chemistry, pre-med, engineering, computer science, pharmacy, etc., etc., etc. went into political science. They always seemed like dumb fucks that moved to California after they couldn't find a job after graduation. Are you part of that crowd? I never met one poly sci major that could think his way out of anything significant.

The perfect Democrat slate:

A candidate without any commitment and a running mate without any principles.

Joe Concha:

Second public appearance by Biden-Harris again consists of the candidates not taking any questions from the press.

Buck Sexton:

Biden and Harris want to force the entire country to wear masks

We should force them to read the Constitution

This quote from Joe just in:

(as heard him say on the radio) "Masks should be mandated for the next three months" and, "...it's not about [people's] rights, is about personal responsibility."

So let's break this down; where will we be in three months? Oh, look at that, a week past the election. Coincidence???

And the second part above pretty much reads where Joe don't care about the Constitution because, rights don't matter, it's about individual responsibility.

Don't underestimate the man's longevity just for the sake of tin foil hat conspiracies. The addled old coot could easily do 4 years. Look at that living fossil RBG for inspiration.

We'll be calling her "Mel" by Labor Day.

Ignore the spin wizards of the media. They only have the power we surrender. All of this plus earnest prayer and when Trump wins we can rejoice again.

Anyone on here who is backing President Trump but let "the propaganda machine of Leftist media discourage us" is a fucking idiot, as far as I'm concerned. Seriously.
