I'd like to ask the Trump haters if your hatred for Trump is so strong that you're willing to have a woman president? Think about it, if something would happen to Joe Biden and then Kamala Harris would become president would you be cool with that? Something tells me she would do something to get his ass booted out of office just to take over the presidency, I don't like or trust that B.

I also have these Joe "get off my lawn" Biden bumper stickers for a dollar each (joking).

If size does matter, would you satisfy Stormy "Grand Canyon" Daniels?

Well, this morning, I overheard my left nut saying to my right nut, don't talk to the guy in the middle, he's a midget dick.

Oh Hell No. It would be like playing that triangle from third grade I couldn't even hit all the sides at the same time.

"Size does matter" says ex porn star Stormy Daniel's. She also calls Trump a loser on that metric. I'm sure Bloomberg, the "real billionaire", trumps him there too.......lol

And you'll never convince them that Trump is more stupid than 70% of the people who post here because they are the 30% who voted for someone smarter than they are. This is a guy who sells snake oil, tells you it doesn't work and the 30% still buy his snake oil by the gallon. For the life of me I do not know why anyone would want to vote for someone who is more stupid than they are and we need to reach out to everyone of those 70%, not the 30%.

I think I figured out this math problem out. The answer is Trump wins by a landslide.

FYI, Bloomberg is investing $100 million in Florida to help Biden. This will force the cash strapped Trump campaign to divert valuable $$$ resources from other swing states. Trump is currently having a twitter meltdown over this news. It's amusing that you have a Trump, a fake billionaire", having a twitter meltdown over Bloomberg a "real billionaire", spending $$$ to help the Biden team.......lol

Wrong! You missed my point!

I got your point, I was just trying to piss you off a little bit.

I couldn't agree with you more.

Actually, I'm surprised no one has publicly connected the dots regarding Donald Trump's obvious down playing of the COVID-19 risks over the last several months.

Trump's net worth (whatever it is) is comprised of a mix of annuity income from branding (allowing the Trump name to be used on a development) and outright ownership of hotels and resorts. The shift towards branding made great sense since virtually every property he owned and operated ended up in default and / or bankruptcy. But his actual holdings are still considerable (think Trump hotels like the one in DC, and his variety of golf courses) and likely form the vast majority of his assets. All of these occupancy- and tourism-dependent properties are entirely dependent on cash flow, with large operating costs and, like restaurants, are only financially viable when operating fairly close to capacity.

There is no question that all of these properties have been hemorrhaging money since March. Whether his cash flow from his branding business is sufficient to keep them afloat is unknown, but highly unlikely since numerous branded properties have ended the relationship during his disastrous tenure as president.

The entire downplaying of the COVID-19 risks is likely pure personal financial panic regarding the mounting losses at these properties and the need to restore tourism and resort traffic.

At some point he will have insufficient cash flow to keep paying his vendors. There is the possibility of some occasional cash advances to tide him over from a friendly oligarch or two, but the banking system is much tighter than it used to be and it would be difficult, if not impossible. To keep this secret.

I expect the shoe (more likely multiple shoes) to drop any day regarding vendor defaults at some of these resorts. It will be a close call whether he can keep this out of the news until Election Day. Whether or not he wins the election, this news will likely start tricking out shortly thereafter.

Like everything else about his presidency, the COVID-19 response is all about Donald. He is ambitious beyond his competence, he is overextended, he is losing money, and he is in trouble. Anyone who has paid attention to his career has seen this movie multiple times before. It's surprising that this it's not more widely recognized.

Keep drinking that Trump spiked Kool-aid. While, the economy did grow and produce jobs during Mr. Trump's first three years in office, its performance under Mr. Trump during that period was weaker than during the last three years of Barack Obama's presidency. Almost exactly 1. 5 million FEWER jobs were created on Mr. Trump's watch than during Mr. Obama's final three years.

Without facts, Mr. Trump resorts to lies. He has claimed more than 360 times that the economy on his watch was the "strongest ever. " Not even close!

Annualized growth under Mr. Trump ranked seventh among his 11 predecessors. And growth actually slowed during each of Mr. Trump's three years.

To accomplish only that much, Mr. Trump needed one of the largest tax cuts in history, a cut that grossly favored business and wealthy Americans while exploding our deficit. Almost 85 percent of the benefits of the bill went to businesses and to those with incomes above $75,000.

Americans in the top 20 percent of incomes received a 2. 9 percent increase in their after-tax incomes while middle-class Americans got just a 1. 6 percent increase. Businesses responded to the cuts by raising dividends and share buybacks to record highs while an initial increase in capital investment quickly faded.

The Trump administration claimed that the legislation would pay for itself through increased economic activity. That, not surprisingly, turned out to be another lie. The deficit jumped to more than $1 trillion last year from $681 billion in 2017, the calendar year before the tax cut.

The president's terrible handling of the crisis directly translated into the enormous problems we now face: an economy in its worst crisis since the Great Depression.

From the start, Mr. Trump has been talking about a quick bounce back and a "V" shaped recovery. In April, his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, said the economy would be "rocking" by July. Less than two months ago, Mr. Trump declared, "America's economy is now roaring back to life like nobody has ever seen before," and claimed, "All of this incredible news is the result of historic actions my administration has taken. ".

But that's not what we have. What we have is an economy in SHAMBLES.

Our economy has contracted by 10.6 percent during the first six months of 2020, by far the biggest, fastest decline since the Great Depression.

Unemployment soared to 14.7 percent. More than 22 million jobs were lost. And the pain was disproportionately felt by women, people of color, the young, lower-paid workers and those with less education. For example, nearly a quarter of jobs held by Americans with less than a high school education have disappeared, compared to only 2 percent of jobs held by those with college degrees.

So, you think Trump has the Black American vote squirreled away in his back pocket, think again. By almost every metric, Black Americans have fared far worse in this Trump led economic depression, including higher rates of closure of Black-owned businesses. And that's after struggling under the Trump administration since long before the virus hit Black median household incomes, which were 66.5 percent of those of white households in 2016, had dropped to 62.4 percent of the level of white households by 2018.

These statistics greatly understate the pain. True unemployment rose to nearly 32 percent in April after including all people working part time but seeking full-time jobs and those who were without jobs but wanted one. Even now, well into the promised recovery, 28 million Americans are receiving unemployment benefits.

Job growth in July was less than half the pace of the June increase, and August figures show a still smaller increase or amazingly no job growth at all. And that's with only 42 percent of the lost jobs having been recovered so far.

There is evidence that a second wave of layoffs and furloughs is already underway roughly three out of five workers who had reportedly returned to work have either been let go again or been told they are at risk of being sidelined again.

Much of the damage threatens to become irreversible. According to data collected, more than half of business closures that were temporary when the virus outbreak began are now considered permanent. More retailers have gone bankrupt in the first eight months of 2020 than in all of 2008, during the Great Recession. Across all industries, Chapter 11 filings in July surged 52 percent over the same month last year, with no end in sight.

And our economy is in even greater jeopardy because Donald Trump, who proclaims himself the greatest dealmaker in history, can't make a deal with the Democrats on a much-needed next rescue package.

While the proposals he has tried to bring about by executive action may well be illegal, they are indisputably ludicrous in their construct: A "payroll tax cut" that isn't a tax cut at all and even if it were, it would be the wrong way to provide help to the average American. Special unemployment benefits of $300 per week, half the amount lawmakers provided in the first round, the CARES Act. Nothing for schools, nothing for virus testing, nothing for state and local governments.

In the business world, when an employee doesn't perform, we FIRE his ass!

Utterly amazing.
