Personally, I don't think pardoning Hunter is damaging as Trump would have done the same with the Jan 6th defendants, and has actually in 2020 at the end of his first term. I do think Biden is just playing in the Trump playbook, fair is fair I think.

I saw most of it last night live and it, at first did not seem obvious that Tim Walz won, but in the end, he did win. The term my late sister once said for a dog she was not a fan of we once had, was he's smarmy - and that's JD Vance for you. He shifts position whichever way the wind blew. He's definitely too slick and tries to weevil out of everything. The big telling thing for me was his blatant lie about peacefully handing over power, when he glibbly skipped over the insurrection. Vance is adept at this, but he can't help being awkward, stiff, acting as if he does not know how to function in polite society, unlike Walz who can work with all folks with ease.

Same here, I have no issues with what Biden has done. Also, due to Trump being Trump, fair is fair.

@BERNICEMCCOY Though on one hand, I agree, but unfortunately, sometimes justice grinds much too slow, especially when someone like Trump tries to run out the clock through appeals. But yeah, Trump should have been dumped in jail pending trial to begin with.

I saw Ryan Hall Y'all's stream yesterday and he went live earlier than planned due to the tornadoes that came ahead of the hurricane and several folks were killed/injured just from those, let alone the hurricane itself. Significant flooding in many areas and high winds and for those that say a cat 3 is a nothing burger, it's still pretty significant hurricane. Yes, it did officially hit Cat 5, then dropped to a 4, and 3 by landfall. At that point, still 100+MPH winds. I think with daylight we'll see the extent of the damage first hand and reassessments will begin. Sad a lot of trolls in the comments.

I used to vote republican when I was first voting back in 1983-84 as an 18 year old and I believe I voted for Regan in his second term, sadly, he became a laughing stock as Alzheimer's crept in during his second term, even when the attempted assassination tried to bump him off, but got James Brady instead, injuring him badly. Then in the 90's, my late father, a retired AF major (retiring in 1970/71) and I were at McChord near the BX and had been discussing politics and were both frustrated at both parties, the Dems for rolling over too easily and allowing the Repubs to walk all over them, and the repubs for being bullies to the dems. Mind you, this was nothing to what we are experiencing now and it was then that we all, mother included decided to go Democrat, and that's how I've been voting since then. As for this election (which is tomorrow as I type this on Monday morning Nov 4th), I believe that the polls to be a very, very rough guide to what might be the outcome of the election and as Claire pointed out, last minute decisions and I also think many may not be honest to themselves about whom they are voting for, but some may find that in the wake of late last week when Trump threatened Liz Cheney by having a firing squad point guns at her face that some may find that they just can't pull the trigger on Trump at the very last moment. As a result, the so called tight race could not be as tight as polls show due to the answers folks give the pollsters and some of that can be wildly off due to untruthful responses from folks being polled. That said, I don't think it'll be a blow out either for Harris/Walz, but I DO think she will win, but it might not be as close as it seems now, based on the polls. We will only know once votes are tallied, beginning tomorrow and over the next couple of days. For the record, voted all blue down the ballot, and that includes Harris/Walz.

@Eurydice870 Personally, I despise Palin. I like Tamala Harris. Palin was a disgrace during the time she tried to run for president.
11
Due largely to the fact that he, himself can barely function as an adult himself.

Totally agree with everything you've said. As one who does not have an average IQ, but did get some college in years ago, struggled in school, barely graduated HS and voted for Regan in my first election as an 18 year old, and later in either the late 80's, or early 90's we decided to go Democratic, rather than Republicans due to how the Republican party was then, riding roughshod over the Democratic party, and the Dems at that point in time, allowed it as they rolled over and let the Republicans run over them. I'm also neurodivergent and can see through most BS and saw Trump for who/what he is as he's clearly coming across as a petulant man-child of about 8 in an adult body, but a lot of the rhetoric he's been coming up with, like Project 2025 could very well be red herrings (hope so). I do see Jen's point that the Democratic party spoke over most folks heads, though to be fair, I don't think Kamala, nor Tim did so much, but the rest of the party, outside of Jamie Raskin and a few others, but the overall message was, white, upper class, college educated and not to the majority of working class, middle class folks and thus, failed to connect. I voted for Harris/Walz, BTW as I didn't trust, let alone can't stand Trump, so there is that, let alone Vance and his weirdness. Agree, time to self reflect and then figure out what is next and begin the blow back/push back and start the slow process to right the ship to keep it from sinking into the abyss.

@TheChopf26 Yes, Trump did make promises like those.

@sharontrujillo That's the date Juan Marchan will set finalize the outcome of the trial he presided over.

@craiganderson7986 Lies just the same.

@PSWX-do4wj Well, to be fair to President Biden, we did not expect things to turn out like they did at the time he said it, but the situation is totally different now and I still say, he did the right thing, knowing how things will likely go if Trump makes it to office. There seems to be things afoot to keep him from succeeding.

You must be a troll. They did up building codes a number of years ago for hurricanes as was the entire building code for the entire country, based on areas where major weather typically take place. Where things fall down is older buildings not upgraded to newer codes and being on/near major coasts/waterways
5
Been thinking the same thing. If they'd just listen to what's going on out there, they'd find out all kinds of things about both Kamala and Tim, and about the orange scurge and just make a decision. I'm older, Gen X, first wave and did not vote for Trump in 2016, nor in 2020 (went for Biden) and now Harris/Walz. My ballot is supposed to land in my mailbox today so will get my vote in by the end of the weekend.

That's what I was saying yesterday on some other channels that brought this up. It's only fair.

Well, when you look at Donny and his two older sons, it comes out as dumb, dumber and dumbest. That is in order of Don, Don Jr and Eric.

@rebeccadieter6131 You are right. Had to look it up as I'd forgotten, Vice President for McCain. I despised her then, still despise her now.

From what I saw of the photos of the candidates is at best Mehmet Oz, and he's a quack, at best and is supposedly a certified doctor. RFK, not so much, don't know about the others.
3
I'd say, that's all you can hope until one gets out there to investigate. When this story was being filmed, it was still very early and the sun had not risen so one had no way of knowing the extent of the damage just yet.

The question really is, IF he does. He may not, we won't know for sure once he's officially sworn in. However, I would not be surprised if he actually says what he has been saying he'll do, With Vance as VP, nothing is sacred.

Who still uses checks? I don't, have not since, oh, 2015 or so, and most of the past couple of years was using it to pay the rent when I rented. I own my house now and it gets paid out of my debit card. I just watch my balance and make certain I don't over do it.

I'm a moderate, live in western Washington and hate Inslee. He's way too liberal/left for his own good, as are likely some of the legislators at the state capitol. He's trying to ban gas anything and rely on electricity for everything, without even seeing if the electric infrastructure can even withstand the load that will be placed on it.
2
No, the Dems did not loose badly, it's always been a squeaker in this race we just had. Numbers were still being counted and Kamala inched ever closer so there is that. Not sure what you are smoking but your statement is not correct. Besides, I think we gained seats in either the house or senate, forget which.

@dianne5086 Indeed, what I was trying to say and said with Vance, nothing is sacred.
1
Yep...
1
Very true. He was only guilty of conspiracies and paranoia, then Ford had the gall to pardon him when in office, but realized, a bit too late, he never should have done so, that cost him the election against Carter. Carter was not the best prez we've ever had, but not the worst, not by a long shot, sadly, his wife, daughter, and brother Billy made a buffoon out of him, and a laughing stock. He, too, would only last one term, and lost to Reagan, that's where things slowly began to fall down, at least as far as the reuplicans are concerned.
1
Well, he tends to come off stiff and awkward to folks, even fails miserably to be "likeable". He is who he is, and that's not a good thing.
1
@ltt8733 With Vance, not too sure.
1
I think he will be arrested, as immediately as humanly possible if he indeed looses the election, and I DO hope he loses because Tuesday can't come fast enough. We only have 4 days left...
1
@UnitedWeStandDividedWeFaII I would say, it's both. Don't trust that SOB as far as I can throw it (which is not far at all, more like a shove into a hole).

I don't usually hate, but this cabinet is an exception, all of them, Musk included (and his minions).

@markese8563 It's revOlution, not RevAlution. Use your spell check for once.

Comer is a dimwit. In this video, his neck appears too big, his shirt collar too small, so he does his tie so it hides the fact. Unfortunately, one can see it all plainly. His head looks way too big for his pea sized brain and stumbles over his words. On another video this morning, another fellow republican on Fox tried to bad mouth Tim Walz and he, too, stumbled over his words.
1
I look at the polls as a snapshot of what's at present and is more for strategizing than it is anything else and really, should be taken with a grain of salt, or more. That said, I'm seeing a lot of channels that may not be legit on here with videos indicating problems with the Democrat party, one is in my suggestion feed where Harris/Walz campaign is crashing being one example. I should get my ballot sometime this week, and have already begun looking at the voter's pamphlets, one national, one local for my county. Ballot should arrive this week and I can then go drop it off at the ballot drop box, though I may take it to the county office drop box due to how Republicans are acting as of late and thus, don't trust them at all. BTW, voting Harris/Walz.

I heard yesterday on YT, and I forget what channel it was, but Trump has an IQ of 74, and much of his base is likely similar. I mean, he can barely speak intelligently, let alone with a complete sentence and constantly lies. That said, being on the low end of the intelligent score does not always mean the individual is that bad as some of us do understand and can function as adults for the most part but I despise Trump so am voting for Harris. I saw through Trump's BS once I became aware of who he is, which began with the Apprentice. He gave me the shivers and he seemed so smug and full of himself. Still is.

Love those series of cartoons, so funny, but this was apropos last night.

First off, according to reports from yesterday elsewhere on the Tubes (namely local news), both ballot boxes had fire suppression systems but the one in Vancouver malfunctioned and did not go off as it should have. I refuse to let fear over the what ifs get to me and will cross that bridge if need be if and when it comes to it. As it is, we don't really know FOR CERTAIN if any of this will actually pass (though I do think it's likely) but they could very well be all show and no go. That all said, I think we are likely more prepared to defend if the republicans (yes) should try to subvert the election, especially if Harris/Walz were to win, and I DO hope they do.

@aquarius53866 I could not stand Bush Jr (W) at all, he was just inept, period and not the brightest bulb, but brighter than Trump as Trump can't seem to be able to read, let alone comprehend anything and likely was ill educated, and a Narc/sociopath and made Bush Jr look tame in comparison. Not a huge fan of George HW Bush, but he's a sight better than his son ever was.
1
I'd take the NYT with a HUGE tablespoon of salt and call it a day with this crap. I think Biden is OK, he just had an off day on the debate, which should be taken with a grain of salt anyway as it's for TV, by the TV industry. That said, I will still vote for Biden come November (and by extension, Kamala Harris)
1
@peternolan4107 Well, yeah... He's a narcissist, and likely also a sociopath, like his father.

@Desert8dweller My guess, too young. I was in what, 4th grade when Nixon resigned, but totally forgot that Ford pardoned him. I do vaguely recall some details of Watergate as it unfolded at the time.
1
@nonyabusiness557 Technically, Vietnam, if not mistaken, began when the French were attacked, and we came to their defense, thus we got dragged into it. The bulk of the issues with Vietnam was Johnson dragging it out, and Nixon took a while, but his big success was ending the war, though it happened AFTER he left office in resignation. Saigon fell in 1975, officially ending the Vietnam war. Sadly, Watergate overshadowed it all.

JD is a camilleon, he flip flops by the direction of the wind at the moment. Plus, he's smarmy (as my late sister used to say for some folks).
1
I voted all blue in all partisan races, including the presidency (Harris/Walz) and as of yesterday, it was accepted, ready to be counted, according to the state of Washington. We opened up voting on Friday and got mine in on Monday, by hand delivering it to a voter drop box at the county annex.

This is for you and anyone else that reads this. Trump is a narcissist and a malignant one at that, the worst type of narcissism. Plain and simple and that's why he is doing what he is doing, and he worships Nazism. I get a sneaky suspicion that he may be fighting an uphill battle and may never get to fully realize his plan.
