... and give an example of the when appropriate ...

So not a facepalm button, or a button that's like a facepalm button, rather a button to like facepalms.

See, this is why I asked for specifics.

Thanks Sollie, you're a pal.

They aren't allowed to cut mics? I mean that would be the only way this could have been coherent. Cut the other person mic while the other one has the floor - and then impose strict time limits and cut mic if the ramble off in tangents.

Yes, they should definitely have that function for the next debate.

Could be timed mic cuts, too. You get your allotted time, that's it. No 'bias' possible.

I learnt in this debate why Biden says some words weird. He has a stutter. Im more impressed with the guy now. Thats a lot to overcome.

Oh wow, I didn't know that either. Had to Google that - for anyone interested: https://www.insider.com/what-is-a-stutter-cause-treatment-joe-biden-2020-9

I remember a contemporary of mine at high-school at a bad stutter and he was ridiculed somewhat by some other students, which I thought was rather harsh but I guess that is high-school for you.

This is a really good read on his problems with it.

What Joe Biden Can’t Bring Himself to Say

His verbal stumbles have voters worried about his mental fitness. Maybe they’d be more understanding if they knew he’s still fighting a stutter.

Annnnnnnnnnnd the question is dodged yet again .
Stop consuming massmedia broseph.

Lol. And you don't seem to have researched much before posting that meme. The ignorance highlights that walled garden you lot live in.

What question? The guy did stuff in the 1960/70s and repented, and worked to address his errors. I have an issue with that guy in the 60s, who ceased to exist a while back.

Your guy probably still believes that bs. That's the guy I have an issue with today. Totally unrepentant and in faux denial. Supports white supremacists then is not the same as supports white supremacists now

 

[Hamish McPanji]

There are two problems with that analogy with regards to White supremacist.

1. White supremacists or basically condemned universally. Even by Trump although some claim differently despite evidence.
2. People get labelled as being white supremacists for almost any little thing these days it's losing all effect. Hell they call African Americans white supremacists and don't even blink at the contradiction.

There are less than 10k in the US, 0.003125% if you want to see it that way. So no there aren't a "schitload" of them. There might be many that are fed up with the bull narrative though.

Where did you get the 10k from exactly?

 

[OrbitalDawn]

I will wait for them to respond but i doubt either of those two view themselves as evil. Like i said, you're referring to a couple Karens.

The only thing conservatives understand is being victims, all the time. So they can't fathom the idea that someone can acknowledge and understand something like privilege without being wracked by guilt. Projection.

 

[Kieppie]

He did actually condemn them. "Sure, I'm willing to do that." Sound very much like the condemnation Biden gave against Antifa.

Ps. resize please.

No network will ever get that to fly... Donnie won't allow it.

The interruptions and talking over his opponents and moderators *are* the theatre for his base.

They're the whole point and the only thing he has left in his arsenal.

A deep dive in a close county in a swing state:

How Trump and Biden look in a county that’s a ‘microcosm’ of Pennsylvania

Berks County has deeply liberal urban areas like Reading that grow more conservative in waves out in the suburbs, exurbs, and rural areas. It could be a harbinger for Pennsylvania.

Some of those questions are just amazing.

It was not just Wallace's interruptions or poor management that cemented his role as worst debate moderator of all time, but the off-topic and ridiculous framing of his questions.

Ps. resize please.

He also said he was willing to release his tax return a while back, then.....he didn't.

Anyone can say they are willing to do something. It doesn't count if the doing something doesn't actually happen

Interesting story

A Story About Fred Trump and Woody Guthrie for the Midterm Elections

In 1950, Guthrie moved into an apartment at Beach Haven, a cluster of buildings in Brooklyn. His landlord was Donald Trump’s father.

www.newyorker.com

Will Kaufman, a professor of American literature and culture at the University of Central Lancashire, in Britain, was the first researcher to discover the lyrics in Guthrie’s considerable archive. (Guthrie never recorded or published the song.) Earlier this week, I went to see them in person. The first verse is explicit in its indictments:

I suppose
Old Man Trump knows
Just how much
Racial Hate
He stirred up
In the bloodpot of human hearts
When he drawed
That color line

How are you managing to post in a real-world forum like MyBB from where you live in the Matrix?

You have a Tank and Dozer backing you up?

A lefty with a funny comeback for a change. I give you two points on account of the rare sign of creativity.

Shame, poor Trumpets didnt get their safe space. Moderator asked questions .

After their months-long campaign saying Biden was going to soil himself and collapse drooling the moment he got on the stage failed, they started going with the hidden earpiece, bone-implant tech, magic contact lens theory. Then that didn't work, so now they're going waaaahhh Chris Wallace didn't create a safe space for poor ol' Donnie.*

Just desperate flailing.

*Wallace actually granted completely BS premises that were favourable to Trump in a number of questions, and gave him that massive softball on white supremacy.

Not his fault Trump whiffed it.

 

[OrbitalDawn]

The Turner Diaries also depict a violent overthrow of the federal government....like ANTIFA/BLM and even Don Lemon and Kamala Harris are striving and calling for.

Don Lemon and Kamala Harris are striving and calling for the violent overthrow of the federal government?

Good grief, dude. You need to unplug. This is unhinged, conspira-boomer stuff.

lol, you Trumpets can't even keep your silly talking points straight.

First Biden is a radical socialist, then he's not because he's their puppet, then he's "lost" them (as per Donnie's demented tweet rant and debate performance) because he isn't backing their policies.

Make up your mind, geeze.

Where did you get the 10k from exactly?

Tried finding the original source, but it was somewhere last year so no clue. However the FBI says the KKK has about 2,000 members nationally. The FBI says the Aryan Brotherhood has 15,000ish active members in prisons and out. So maybe 20k not 10k as I remembered. Those are you two biggest groups.

There are cross over between the different groups though. Also worth noting, much like in our jails, these groups are joined as a form of protection so outside of jail they are not always active members.

The main reason I say that their numbers are small is that the highest estimate of the Charlottesville Unite The Right Rally was 250 and that was from various different organisations. The "anniversary" the next year drew only 30 people. I Believe they wan't people to think there are much more of them than there are to give themselves credibility.

Obviously the size does not really matter as a few people can carry out a devastating attack. Luckily they don't do suicide missions.

Atlantic is highly credible.

But also, the white supremacist infiltration of law enforcement has been known about for a very long time. The FBI warned about it in 2005 already.

A 2006 intelligence assessment reveals that officials had concerns about the infiltration of police departments for years but failed to warn the public.

Look man, you extracting figures from you arse as part of your arguments, then walk back when you can't prove them. The same as the claim 130k people being killed by lockdown, while denying CDC statistics. Where did you come up with that?
