    trump’s problem though, and it’s my main problem with him (his administration’s policies are fine), is that he invites this chaos.  He intentionally trolls and instigates a substantial amount of the population.

     

    that alone prevents me from voting for him because it’s just a failure of the executive branch to take that role.  
     

    Thus, im not voting for either side this election  

     

    I hate to hear that cause I always encourage people to always vote, even if it's for someone I don't personally support. Even if it's (as it most often is) the lesser of 2 evils, at least then it lends credence if you debate one way or the other. So please re-consider.

    i really don’t. The other side always throws a tantrum, but not like this.  Obama brought out a pretty decent tantrum as well, much less than trump but still bigger than normal

     

    See, and that's my point. Of course there has always been some tension between the parties, but it hardly ever boiled down to the people outside of election time. But I think beginning when Dems had both the House and Senate in 2006 and the vile they (and the media) started throwing at Bush, the public got a front row seat whether they wanted it or not.

    Yes, Obama got it and I think in a way, he relished his role in it. But it still wasn't nearly as bad as Bush. Some may not have noticed it much, because Bush never dealt it back. He just stood there like a punching bag. 

    I think Trump though surprised people by punching back and honestly, I thought it was about time someone did.

    Joe is 'campaigning' in Gettysburg today,

     

    Gee, you think that someone who was ahead by 14 points would be going to states that he was behind in.

    Is he promising to tear down those Confederate Monuments?

    I think there is some odd comfort that comes with the understanding that that sort of thing was commonplace, just the way things were, and a trade off to having Scranton Tough Guy and Malarkey king Biden carrying your water in Washington.   

     

    I don't get this, he totally forgets about Scranton except for when he's running for something. And hell, he left there at the ripe old age of 10! He was a child who hardly had time to learn the ropes of life in an industrial town!

    I think the best reason/argument to vote for Biden is to stop the madness.  Granted, much of this madness is the left throwing an irrational hissy fit weekly.  There needs to be a return to normalcy.  A trump being president, whether or not it is even his fault, is the X factor.  
     

    I am not voting for either, but that’s the best Biden argument imo.  And it’s fair

     

    Interesting post... But brings up this question. Would it be any different do you think, if Cruz, Paul, Bush, or Rubio had won?

    “This threat is still very real and the sad irony is on the day that the president was admitted to the hospital with the very virus he called a hoax, the Supreme Court in Michigan undermined my emergency rule, my emergency orders that I’ve had to enact that puts us in the same state as all other states in this nation, to save lives,” Whitmer said on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday.

    "We’ve saved thousands of lives and the Supreme Court, on a slim majority Republican vote, undermined that effort," Whitmer continued, adding that two Michigan Supreme Court justice seats are up for election.

    "Michiganders have an opportunity to weigh in on our Supreme Court," she said. "We've got to have justices who do the right thing."

    Seems like the President is struggling with COVID-19.  Let’s review the salient information:

     

    1.  Friday sees him sent to Walter Reed as a “precautionary measure.”  BS.  He has outstanding medical care available to him at his residence.  There’s no need to go to a hospital “on spec” unless the situation is more dangerous than the public has been told. 

     

    2.  On Friday, a President obsessively concerned with image and television ratings shoots a hamfisted video saying he “thinks” things will turn out well.  Bad lighting, no mic, odd setting (probably the WH residence; not the Oval Office).  Apparently he does not have the time or strength to do such a thing as put on a “lav” mic or take a better shot. 

     

    3.  He is taken to Walter Reed by helicopter.  Seems strange, given that it’s a short ride and he took the car for his prior WH health event.  

     

    4.  Then the helicopter sits there for about half an hour before Trump can take the short walk to get in.  Obviously this is a dog and pony show; he wants to convey strength by walking to the chopper.  But doesn’t interact with the media on the way out (uncharacteristic for him, to be sure).  Strange. 

     

    5.  Strangely silent on Twitter and Fox & Friends that day.  Would be easy for him to call his pals at Fox and explain that he’s doing fine, has a mild case, the virus is a hoax, he gnawed on hyroxycholorquine and is feeling better, etc.  But doesn’t do it. 

     

    6.  Then it turns out that he actually received supplemental oxygen on Friday as well as a “compassionate use” treatment.  Odd that POTUS receives an unproven treatment that theoretically could do more harm than good.  Does not sound like a mild case of COVID. 

     

    7.  Goes to Walter Reed, then stays basically silent on Saturday, save for a couple of “dog and pony” images that the Internet quickly recognizes as staged (signing a blank piece of paper - a metaphor for his presidency, if ever there was one; metadata shows images taken about 10 minutes apart in time in different rooms).  

     

    8.  But here’s the big tell.  The video from Saturday was about 10 seconds long, and it had to be edited (likely to eliminate a cough).  How hard is it to reshoot a 10-second video?  Not hard at all.  The simple solution if the subject coughs during the take is to re-shoot.  But they didn’t re-shoot.  Was it because they couldn’t?  Speculation, but with an image-conscious president it seems likely that they would have done another take to get it “right” if he was capable of getting through 10 seconds without coughing. 

     

    9.  Saturday tells us that POTUS also gets dexamethasone.  Skips right past the hydroxychloroquine and Lysol and brings in the big guns reserved for moderate to severe cases of COVID.  Not good.  Fits with the bad blood oxygen information and news that he was on supplemental oxygen.  

     

    10.  Feeling better this morning.  Tweet storm.  Usual nonsense.  But this is after stupid parade on Sunday (another dog and pony show) that needlessly put Secret Service at risk so he could convey an image of health.  Why not call Fox & Friends?  Is it because he can’t do it without hacking up a lung?  That’s the speculation here. 

     

    Something definitely is up with this guy.  He may well go back to the WH today or tomorrow.  But that doesn’t mean he’s out of the woods.  And it doesn’t mean that he hasn’t had serious COVID complications that he has concealed both from the public and those with the power to catalyze use of the 25th amendment.  How a guy on dexamethasone and struggling with COVID can keep the nuke codes is beyond me.  But these are the times in which we live. 

     

    Discuss. 

     

    Rachel Maddow, is that you?

     

    You could basically put her opening line, "What if....?" in place on all the line numbers to fit her conspiracy narratives.

    Wacky Zebra and Tiberius didn’t make the cut ? 

    Those 2 have had their moments, but I think were dragged into the mud with Billstime. Let's hold out some hope for them and a couple others here that have, or do sometimes at least, add to the conversations.

     

    Edit to add, thanks @SDS!!!!

    Not in my case. I’ve reported one poster and they spent 2 days repeating the same exact (non political) post over and over and over across multiple threads so it was just an annoying spam job. Chandler responded and said more or less “We don’t care what happens at Ppp.” Fortunately the poster stopped his campaign after 4 days. 

    Yeah, the repeatedly posting of the same memes etc is tiring. But my point is, those 5 or 6 if they are also the ones that ran to SDS to complain, probably just got him tired of hearing those complaints, and instead of banning those 5 or 6 took the easy way and banned DR.

    Then last night I get barraged with 5-6 reports from PPP. So I again stop what i am doing to look into a politics subforum in a Buffalo bills community.

    Sorry about your personal issues, Wondering if those 5-6 reports are from the same people liking this post of yours, and celebrating DR ban?

    With CBS, you can use this anytime, not just for games. Say you want to watch the local news for Seattle, or you miss a show on the east coast, you could catch it on the west coast showing. 

     

    And if it doesn't work and somehow shows your current location instead, as @Just Jack says, close out, but then click off the location (just pick another one) you want, then back on again to reset. Then open CBSAA again and it should give you WIVB or whatever other city your trying to  re-locate to

    This feels like a good way to get my computer possessed... 

    It's not anything abnormal, in fact it is almost exactly what a paid for VPN does for you but you do it yourself for free.....

    @Cinga posted this a while ago, and I went through and tested it, hopefully this will help those that find themselves unable to get the games on their local CBS station.

     

    Well done! I apologize for not taking the time for the screenshots but so glad you did for other Bills fans!

    It's sad we have to even discuss a president even possibly being racist. 

     

    Painful. Can't wait for him to GTFO. 

     

    Eviction day coming soon. He's used to that, though. 

    Why? Obama sure was..... as is Biden
