So basically, May was an improvement over April, but the numbers were inaccurate. April was nearly 20% unemployment. May was 16.3% unemployment. Probably best to wait until AFTER we're out of Depression level unemployment to spike the football.

Still 85-15 he did it? Notice that even wacky conservative and far right conspiracy theorists have given up on this? That number you gave seemed to be desperate hope rather than belief. Evidence was NOT there for anyone of sane mind to be 85% sure Biden did what Reade accused him of. Good God I don't even understand the mental space of some of you. 85% sure Biden did it. 100% sure Trump is innocent of all 26 of his sexual assault allegations. Just amazing. But none of you really surprise me that much here anymore.

Fixed it for you... though I'd probably add incompetent, self-serving and inhumane... but your clearly intended characterization of Donald Trump works

I'm surprised this wasn't the first reply. This is the standard go-to for you folks. "But.. but... but... 2016!!!" There's a gigantic and very obvious difference between 2020 and 2016... actually there are a bunch of them: Donald Trump is the Establishment so he can't be the anti establishment candidate at this point. Donald Trump was an unknown in 2016. After 3+ years as President, and one who very much loves the Public aspect of it, he's very well known at this point. Connected with that last point, the American people that have gotten to know him have never given him high approval ratings. He currently sits somewhere around 40%. More people BY FAR voted for 3rd party candidates in 2016--basically throwing away their votes--than in the history of our Republic. That won't happen again. Both candidates in 2016 were unlikable and those voters swung heavily to Trump. Evidence suggests despite there being an "unlikable" quality to Biden, those "haters" are swinging heavily to Biden. And of course there's the obvious stuff, too. His handling of Covid-19 was his ultimate undoing. It's the first weekend in June and going into it over 110,000 Americans are dead. I don't know what that will be in November, but that alone is compounded by a complete lack of empathy on his part. That alone just makes him lose. Add to it an economy that never reached his promised highs that will likely still be struggling out of recession mode and a tone deaf idiot in terms of his handling of these protests as he attacks peaceful American protesters just for a photo op... Donald Trump is a guy who just can't get out of his own way. America has gotten to know Donald Trump well and doesn't like him. 2016 is irrelevant. That weatherman fallacy is a desperate attempt to cling to a President who's going down in flames.

Despite posters like @Deranged Rhino being so utterly and incredibly wrong in their belief that Biden (with all the nicknames you throw at him) could never win the Democratic nomination, he has. So on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2020, it's Donald Trump vs Joe Biden. Momentum has been on Biden's side. Polls have, too. Trump can't get out of his own way. Biden's path to win is there and he's pretty much the favorite at this point, but it's officially on!

Hmmm Someone's hubris won't let him stay silent..?

Can we just play already. 13th is ridiculous.

I haven't been dwelling in this thread or in these arguments, I just like to come over and screw with @Deranged Rhino as he goes down on his ship, but has that really been their argument defending Trump? It's a ludacris semantic argument if that's what they're doing because the police acknowledged using Pepper Balls. Lemme guess, they're all blaming the media and not Trump for such a vile, thoughtless, narcissistic act? Maybe they just didn't really hear what happened. Maybe they just need to clean their ears. To all those people, here's an easy visual for you to clean your ears

All right Captain, just try to let your crew members get on the lifeboats as you go down with this sinking ship.

Unless you're making a very literal argument that Donald Trump didn't hold the guns and shoot rubber bullets at protesters, yes he did. If you're making that argument, then you're right. We both know that's not the argument you're making. This violent clearing out of the protesters was obviously done with Trump's knowledge at his command. If it wasn't--if your argument is that others conducted this violence but without his knowledge-- it makes him look even worse because the reason they cleared them out was so he could walk across the street for a photo op. So it was either a malicious act on the part of the President or an act demonstrating his complete stupidity. I don't know which your more comfortable with. Luckily you probably don't have to choose because it's probably a bit of both, which is why he ain't winning a 2nd term.

So that's a yes on the avatar?

Did he forcibly clear out peaceful protesters with rubber bullets and tear gas in order to get to his photo op? Didn't think so. Trump is toast and you're an idiot.

The difference is that Biden won't fire every single cabinet member or decision maker under him every time he/she disagrees with him so there will be more continuity and competency in the Administration in general because everyone won't have to walk on eggshells around him. Don't worry everyone, @Deranged Rhino is just grasping desperately to the side of a cliff he's already fallen off. Would you like your new avatar yet?

Yeah because this violence against peaceful protesters before curfew against a friendly foreign media correspondent is the sign of a good leader... all reportedly because he's embarrassed word leaked he was rushed down to the bunker on Friday.

If Trump holed himself up in that little bunker the Secret Service brought him to the entire time, then maybe. The problem is... Trump speaks and Trump tweets. Dude can't get out of his own way. Donald Trump wasn't winning a 2nd term regardless of what's happened in the last 6 months, but his Presidency is going down in flames at this point and I actually feel bad for people who can't see it so clearly happening.

Fred Jackson wasn't even top 5? What a joke

I'm sorry. I didn't realize a long elaborate explanation was required for a stupid suggestion. I could give you a long, thoughtful response, but it would be a waste of time. So just... no

So stupid. Absolutely not. Watch last year's Thanksgiving game vs Dallas.

Same ole same ole ridiculous analytics argument. I'm sick of it. They constantly bring up the word "anomaly" as an argument as to why Josh Allen won't improve. Clearly they just haven't looked at his history. He's already an anomaly.

And this is why comedy is the most difficult thing to recommend to anyone. I think The Good Place is one of the funniest and smartest shows on TV. I belly laughed constantly during that show. Oscar Wilde once said "taste is indefensible." I think that's especially true for comedy.

I'm actually envious you're just going to start that show. Hope it's your kind of humor

Did you like The Good Place? Or watch it? Upload was nowhere near as good and not even in the ballpark as funny, but it was reminiscent of that show (and Black Mirror) in some ways. It was a little melodramatic at some points but overall I liked it. I was dying laughing when his head blew up in the first episode. My wife wants funny in her TV shows, and even though she liked Breaking Bad (which she had to stop watching towards the end because she was getting stressed out) and loves Better Call Saul, she's usually watching reruns of Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond and Two and a Half Men and is happy. We both love The Good Place and still have to watch the rest of the season. We've watched the first season and a half of the show Catastrophe and both really liked it for most of the first season but started in a weird place in the 2nd season and I'm wondering now if it's just aiming for vulgarity for vulgarity's sake.

Barry is one of my favorite shows. I wish the 3rd season would come out already!

What happened to this thread? Wife and I just watched Upload on Amazon Prime and really liked it. There are a few more series on Amazon Prime I'm thinking about trying. If you've seen them, what are your thoughts? Electric Dreams Tales From the Loop Sneaky Pete Catastrophe The Tick
