This is a perfect example of people hearing just the part they want to hear and ignoring the rest.

Nope, I heard it all. And because I did, I can easily see which cherries you're picking.

I suppose you didn't hear the part where Trump said "then go, make sure it counted".

I did. Did you hear what he said immediately after that? The part where he tells people whose mail-in ballots haven't been counted yet to go vote in person?

"Send it in early and then go and vote."

That's him explicitly telling people to knowingly submit two votes. Which would be a crime. It's the exact thing all you normals have been hollering about for years.

It's really too bad that the Olympics got cancelled this year; your brain surely would have won gymnastic gold.
 
So, Trump has twitted that he would be willing to do a debate with Biden, moderated by Joe Rogan. I would post a link, but, ehh, the headlines where so scattered whe. I searched that I think everyone should see those results and then pick the headline that best speaks to your own heart.
Anyway, apparently an MMA fighter made a tweet about Biden and Trump debating each other on the JRE podcast and Trump twitted his acceptance. As much as I want this and really think its a great idea, I can't see the Biden camp jumping on the opportunity.
Hopefully this does start to become a norm though. Long format debates between two or three politicians at a time would be really good.

Maybe we should just throw Biden and Trump into the octagon and the winner gets the presidency. I'd actually buy the pay-per-view for that assuming the undercard include Pence v. Harris, a handful of Congresspeople, and maybe a Mike Tyson bout as an opener to keep this interesting. Oh and the ring girls should all wear American flag bikinis because freedom or something.

Rogan can't even get Eddie Bravo to stop pushing bat**** crazy conspiracy theories on the show like nuclear testing, he would be a terrible moderator in regards to Trump vs. anyone.

Rogan has also said he rejected the likes of Warren, Biden, & Mayor Pete coming on the show way back in January. He's also been pushing some anti-mask talking points which now-a-days, would come across as right-leaning since it's been so heavily politicized. I don't think Joe is right-leaning though (probably what some call Classically Liberal?), I think he's just crazy b/c he also thinks comedy is some sort of essential business. But given the rejection in January, that stance on masks, complaining about California, recently moving to Texas, unable to control Trump, the whole thing probably comes cross as a political hit to Biden. Hence I agree heavily on the bold.

Rogan has had Alex Jones on his show twice; he’s probably had other conspiracy nutters on the far-left or far-right at some point as well. Not that it reflects Rogan’s personal views, but it probably comes to show that he provides a platform to nutters on both sides. Yes, I get that it’s a consequence of free speech and I respect that. At least I can decide if I want to listen to Rogan or not (I don’t).
 
Rogan will pretty much let anyone on(as long as he doesn't think they are a grifter).

A Debate format with Rogan would be interesting though, It would certainly allow the candidates to have more time to get their point across rather then the flawed way it happens on TV.

He definitely entertains conspiracy theories. He's had a slew of "conspiracy pushers" of some sort or another on his show. What exactly is wrong with that though? Its a podcast where they sit there and ******** about whatever for however long. Its not an agenda based show. Bravo happens to be a good friend of his, why would he shut him down? And do you listen or watch the show at all? The group of friends take the piss out of Bravo all the time for some of the nonsense he says. Seems like a mildly shallow attempt at lambasting there.
As for whether Rogan would do it. He's said he would love to moderate a debate like that a number of time.

The hyperbole here does have one note of truth... Tyson is currently training for a fight against Jones Jr. I'm wondering of that weed business isn't working out so well for Iron Mike.

Holy crap, he is training for a fight against Roy Jones Jr? What year is this? :lol:

Ya, I'm buying that pay-per-view.

I'd like to think the nutters are more outliers though. He's had some weirdos like Alex Jones on (I think YouTube kind of punished Joe for that decision, too), but he's also had Bernie, Tulsi, & Yang on. He's had on pop stars like Cyrus, and he's had on folks like Neil DeGrasse Tyson. It's a pretty-open book like @mustafur said, from super interesting people to absolute snore fests, and then there's whether or not Joe's smoking, drinking, or doing shrooms during the podcast.

I just don't think with the recent events going on around Joe & his inability to control a podcast at times, (b/c damn, does Joe ruin some of his own shows like a recent one in the new studio), Biden would come out in any positive light unless Trump just spilled his honest thoughts out.

Spotify would absolutely love it and YouTube would be looking for the gun.

Because there's time when Eddie just goes too far & clearly starts to become more annoying & foolish for clearly ignoring any reasoning by Joe or Jamie. They had an episode where Eddie's argument was, "I've never seen it with my eyes" & even after Jamie explained how he could see for himself, Eddie went right back to, "But, how do you know? Have you seen it?" which clearly annoyed Joe & Jamie to the point Joe finally got him onto another topic. In the last podcast with Tyson, Joe couldn't even get Tyson to stop interrupting him & was clearly annoyed by it. He'd never get Trump to stop once he started going.
 
That rules out Trump then...
In normal circumstances, yep. But not something like this. And, in all truth, I highly doubt this would actually be done through the JRE podcast. It would likely be its own standalone thing I would think.
 
Trump ad asks people to support the troops. But it uses a picture of Russian jets.

Yes, it's a stock photo. But why wouldn't you verify that the military in the photo is at least American? It's even more cringy since the Russians put out bounties on American soldiers. So yes, let's support our troops by using Russians.

*Quickly glances at poster*

MiG-29s flying in formation & the solider on the far-right is holding an AK of some kind. That may actually be the laziest piece of media I've ever seen. It's genuinely impressive (and insulting, given the bounty shenanigans) how lazy that is, too. Considering how much we put into out military, and how large both our Air Force and Naval aviation units are, I find it hard to believe that Trump's media team couldn't find a halfway-decent photo of some F-15's or F/A-18's.

*Reads the rest of the article*

Aaaaand it just gets worse from there. :crazy:

Couldn't have come at a better time for Trump given his comments about the military. :lol: Actually this could be a super-smooth play by some mole in the Trump camp.
 
I am getting increasingly strong indications that no matter which side "wins" the election, whether popular, electoral or both, the losing side is going to contest the election on the grounds of election fraud, and refuse to concede defeat. This will be accompanied by massive protests, and quite possibly terrible violence.

Overwhelmingly polls across the country have consistently given the statistical prediction that Biden is going to win the electoral vote in a giant avalanche. Our poll here at GTP more cautiously predicts Trump wins the electoral college vote. But either way, conflict is in the works.

You may need to give that thread another look....

Trump is losing every swing state poll except Ohio and is averaging a 1 point loss in Texas.

It would be over twice as impressive if he managed to win the election being nationally 7% down considering he was only 3% down on Hillary and Trump was doing well in the swing states in those polls back then.

If Texas goes blue it's Election over.
 
During an ABC News town hall in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump once again insisted to host George Stephanopoulos that the Covid-19 coronavirus would just “disappear” even without a vaccine. This time he added a reason why this would occur.

“You'll develop, you'll develop herd, like a herd mentality,” explained Trump. “It's going to be, it’s going to be herd-developed, and that's going to happen. That will all happen. But with a vaccine, I think it will go away very quickly.”

"Herd mentality" appears to be the problem affecting the portion of the US population who continue to support this moronic president. :dopey:

You mean a presidential candidate misspoke?

Pffft.

Biden screws up so much nobody even cares anymore.

Ya, the herd mentality was a gaffe, I'll give Trump that. However, saying the virus will just go away on its own without a vaccine is some grade-A stupidy. Also saying COVID will go disappear quickly with a vaccine is showing that Trump doesn't understand how vaccines work. Even with a vaccine, we're not going to see a return to pre-COVID life until at least 2022 and that's assuming most people get vaccinated. Unfortunately, we live in a world where there are stupid people who think vaccines either cause autism, microchip you, or some other asinine bullplop. We probably won't see COVID more or less disappear in America for a few more years, however, things will be much better than they are today.
