Does anyone know where all the rioters went? Businesses boarded up their stores in case Trump won I guess, because now that the media has decided Biden won, the boards aren’t needed anymore on those store fronts? Just goes to show who is rioting...food for thought.

A covid vaccine comes out with 90% efficacy the week after the election. Fauci says back to normal Q2 or Q3 2021. Just keeps getting better and better... I'm very happy to hear this news but boy the timing is questionable and 90% is unbelievable according to Fauci. How lucky we are that they came out with something so soon, but Trump will of course will get no credit and democrat superhero Cuomo in NY isn't happy its coming out while Trump is still president...You can't make this stuff up.

The problem with mail in votes is that no-one is verifying them and they are easily duplicated.  We may see in the coming weeks the legal battles that come out, unless Trump concedes of course. Mail in voting should not have been allowed at the levels it was under the umbrella of COVID. The dems wanted this for a reason. There is also a reason why Russia, China, and Mexico leaders have not congratulated Biden yet.

Probably a sportsman, but no center headlight? The vin should be inside the fender well somewhere on the frame., front or rear.

While the candidates were campaigning all around the country, there was such a huge difference in attendance

Exactly, how can a candidate that barely campaigned, had no enthusiasm, no platform to run on except covid and Trump are bad, is showing so much old age and makes incoherent statements, (I know I'm leaving something out) win? Harris had to drop out early in the primaries, so she's not driving any enthusiasm. I understand that its a vote against Trump and not because Biden is so good, but come on, some people need to wake up. 

One thing is for sure, we will not be getting the tweets like from Trump or much from Biden as his activity level will be much, much lower than Trump. They are going to hide him from the public as his aging appearance increases and symptoms get worse, until Kamala and the dems invoke the 25th on him. Then she'll get elected out in 4 years because people will see it was a sham.

As far as early voting in NY, I went twice and the lines were too big so I went on election day. Trump flags everywhere. You can't assume early voting is all biden, mostly yes I would agree but not all. I think ballots are showing up as needed for dems at this point.  A never ending election, until you win.

@JustRandy  If you read the comments, she's creating new ones from others that came in, the guy is supposedly reading to her from what was received and its legal.

I will say this, Trump did call out issues with the election beforehand, but I didn't really think it would come down to this. Its very suspicious that after  election day, Biden's votes keep increasing every day. I never want to go through an election like this again, its a big joke. With all the technology we have we are counting paper ballots with markers while going into polling stations with no ids. Its 2020, the system needs an overhaul. And what's up with all the pre-election polls? Way off...they need new careers. Sad to watch actually, regardless of who wins.

It all looks so fishy, especially because all the votes coming in put Biden in a better position than election night. So mail in ballots are all Democrats for Biden and counted last? Hard to believe based on Election Day results. Why is it that much larger states like Florida have no issues and ofcourse all the much bigger states that automatically got called for Biden, like California and NY, have no issues...what, no mail in ballots there? They count faster? Trump said this would happen and he was 100% right, I didn’t want to believe it but he was right. What a joke in a country that is supposed to lead the democratic process. Oh well, May the best cheater with the best legal team win....lol!

LOL You think Biden's gaffes make him unfit?. How about your own ?

Oh please, I'm typing and not talking....

Biden is a bit of a mess and everyone sees it. Its reality, some people show age more than others and he definitely shows it. Its undeniable and the videos are all over the web. If anyone had a relative who was speaking like Biden does, they would have them checked out. You can't close your eyes to it, he's got issues. Again, how can you not feel bad for this guy? See for yourself...

Sometimes a feel a little bad for Biden when he has these gaffes, like feeling bad for a grandfather who mumbles. I really think that if he wins, he won’t be in office for long. His own party will look to 25th amendment him outta if there...

$300 batteries, $4 gas, obamacare... why would anyone want to go back to that?

I have no idea, I definitely want no part of that. Obama has been on the campaign trail this week saying Trump inherited the economy, what a joke. Obama was the most non-business friendly President in decades. Good rid-ends! I cringe hearing him, speak. I used to have company sponsored healthcare with with no deductibles and a $25 copay. After Obamacare, it went to 30% coinsurance after the $3000 or so deductible is met for the same price. So now a few visits to the doctor costs $100-$125 per visit. Oh and BTW in 2020..no more "out of network". Company sponsored insurances went down after obamacare because rates went up to these companies. Did Obama think companies would just pay more? They need to remain profitable to stay in business and offer jobs, its a basic principle...lower corp tax, the more they can do. 

I get it, some were uninsured because they don't work for a company or business to get healthcare, but taking care of them really hurt the middle class that DOESN'T work for what I like to call a "tax-based" job, where tax revenue pays for their fed, state, or local gov job in a municipality, school district or other type of agency that still has good healthcare and pensions in most cases. All obamacare did is hurt the private sector. There are not enough "tax-based" jobs for all Americans, so you need big and small business, otherwise everyone is working for or relying on government in some shape or form, at which point you might as well say good buy to America as we know it. Obamacare essentially caused rates to go up on the middle class to take care of the lower class with medical...yeah that was just great. I'm for the harder and more you work, the more you get and not get punished. What's the pointy really, might as well find some government program and assistance to sit on and just coast through life with my hand out.

The only thing I'm not happy about with Trump is that he has not been able to do anything around healthcare that is felt by people like me. We are stuck with this obamacare crap.

@davefrombc, its amazing that you think there is no way his laptops ended up at that repair store...lol. The owner of the store already testified to it last year and the FBI has them. To your points, which I highly (but respectfully) disagree with, I would just say that any "hint" of Socialism restricts freedom and freedom is a founding principle of this country. The US will never be like other countries which is why it remains the US. 

Thank you for taking the time to post and explain your views. Even if I disagree, I do enjoy seeing other points of view.

Biden suffers from the same kind of attacks and false accusation from the right ,and I have no  doubt certain  foreign operators.

I can understand and appreciate that but a laptop dropped off at a computer repair shop in Delaware? Just goes to show you that these repair shops will look through your files..lol. Then you have his American business partner confirming it all? Its kind of hard to overlook that. If that were Trump, all hell would break loose and all the left leaning news media outlets would blast it on their programs daily, looking to impeach him again. You don't even need a dossier for this one. You have to ask, how has Biden made all his money and who is he connected to? For all the liberals that hate rich people, do they hate Hunter Biden for making millions with no experience? 

I'd rather Trump who donates his presidential salary every year and is business minded. He's far from perfect, but a much better choice. At least businesses will do good, people will have more money, sales will go up in stores which equates to more hiring, more growth, entrepreneurship, low unemployment, bonuses, job opportunity, etc. You can't grow the private sector when you stifle it with Obamacare and regulations, its not been good. Trump removed Obama-era regulations. Now, for those that are not business minded, check out some countries where independently owned businesses struggle and see how they live...Its pretty simple, this is a capitalist society and business prosperity is what makes it all work. Work hard, get more and achieve your dreams...that's the basic principle. Nothing is ever free.

Here's the shop where Hunter's laptop was, you telling me its Russian or Chinese owned disinformation? Its as local as it gets, been around since 2010.

@Freedomflyer great pictures, just beautiful! I would really enjoy riding there, maybe one day! Love these two, like out of a magazine:

Please explain to this Canadian how anyone can support the most incompetent and corrupt individual to ever hold the Presidency of the U. S. of A.

I'll try...since Trump was elected:

• My 401K is up, we don't have pension plans and you cant live on Social Security
• My income is up and taxes are down
• Business in general is up and if it weren't for covid and shut downs, the economy would continue to put up record setting numbers and low unemployment in all segments
• The company I work for is in a "business friendly" environment, lower corporate tax and is making money, which means I and others have a job and more people get hired (the gov cant employ everyone, so you have to have a prospering private sector in this country, which is what most people forget) 
• Energy independence brings lower gas prices and lower home heating oil. I recall during Obama paying $3.99 for heating oil, its now $1.89....Does anyone remember the gas prices during Obama/Biden? Does anyone know what a gallon or even a liter of gas costs in other countries? Try looking into that and see if you want to pay that at the pump...Everyone drive electric? Yeah right. What do you do with the thousands of gas stations and all those cars? No way.
• Trump is just much more "business friendly" and this country is all about money and business (small and large). Without it..it all goes away. People fail to realize how it is in other countries... we have all these choices in this country and the ability to get pretty much anything. That can all go away if business cannot prosper. 
• I like an America first agenda, its about time...This shift to more and more globalization and interconnection, it only helps countries that need something from others and not so much the countries everyone relies on. 
• Oh yeah...a vote for Biden is pretty much putting Harris in the oval office because Biden has some serious age showing...people see that and you can't ignore it. He looks too old and has some cognitive issue going on. Its sad how much he's aged, his turn was taken by Hillary.  

I would not be surprised if this Hunter Biden stuff blows up on him, especially if by some chance he gets elected. If he actually wins it'll be a reason to impeach him and put Harris in. I would not be surprised to see that at all.

LOL  Jimmy Dore and the truth are not exactly compatible

You can’t really bend the truth behind the CSPAN video, Biden owns the crime bill and all what he pushed for during his career. It is what it is, I think most dems just bank on people not knowing that part of legislative history.
 

I’m curious what everything thinks about the NY POST Hunter Biden article that twitter and Facebook pulled:

Not sure where you get that from, I think you are a little out of line here and I am a republican. This is really the only topic on this forum that has any political discussion so unless you have some private PMs going on with other members, you might want to rethink your response....just saying.

The poll at the top says 37 votes for Trump and 10 for Clinton, so not sure how this forum could be characterized as a liberal bastion, but then again I don't leave this thread so I don't really know how it is out there.  Hard to imagine many are supporting Biden though.

and thats an old poll from 2016 when it was Trump and Clinton running. I do agree on not being able to support Biden. I'm looking forward to the debates and really hope Biden does them and doesn't find an excuse not too.

Obamacare puts the burden of the poor on the middle class while the rich profit.  Medicare for all puts the burden of the poor on the rich.  Under Biden, the poor will have healthcare, but the middle class will pay for it with high premiums and taxes while the insurance companies make big profits.  Once Obamacare is entrenched, there is no way to push for medicare for all.

Middle class is already paying for it with shitty healthcare, high deductibles and couldn't keep our doctors. Its outrageous actually. At least I have a low income family member that can benefit and I can feel a little better about it for them, by my healthcare plan for what I pay was drastically reduced. If I wanted the same coverage, my monthly payment more than doubled under a family plan. This is why I hate ACA/Obamacare. Screwed the middle class worker who relies on an employer sponsored healthcare plan.  I want that thing gone.

@davefrombc I can appreciate your point of view and just wanted to mention that. Although I may disagree on many points I do acknowledge that a one size glove does not fit all. There is a case to be made for both sides of this. Personally, I want better healthcare cheaper (like it used to be) and I want to keep more of my money I earn.  

You make a point that states have a lot of control and one thing that most states have a lot of are entitlement programs, pensions, unions, independent local agencies, etc. I wish they would convert pensions to 401ks,  get rid of unions, and take all those programs and offset the cost of healthcare for those that can't afford it or need help. There are too many government programs already that don't benefit everyone....

The more people depend on government programs, the more freedoms they lose. This country was founded on freedom, I just don't see that going away with history. I predict there will be a lot of closet voters voting for Trump because they want to keep their money and what they have..

As an  observer from  north of your border, I sincerely hope  tRump gets beaten  badly  in both the popular vote  and in the  states won. Biden  is far more capable than  far too many realize.  Harris   is also.  tRump  and Pence are bad jokes.  The orange wonder  has taken the US  lower in international  opinion  than  it has ever been. His incompetence  and self serving is beyond anything I've ever seen  in  any western country. Obama and Biden  had an administration that was free of scandal. They took  a  country on the ropes and  started it back to  prosperity.  tRump has undone that . His  denial  and mishandling of the COVID-19  pandemic  has costs 10s of thousands more lives to  be lost to it than would have been  lost if he had taken the warnings in the beginning. His administration and election team  has been  one scandal  after another , and it is easier to  count the number of them  that have NOT been  charged criminally for their corruption and illegal  activity over the 2016  election and you can be sure  the Russians  are meddling again. What other President  has replaced so  many of his cabinet over the first 4  years of his administration?. . How  many have had as many of their associates  charged criminally for illegal  dealings with the government,For sexual  misconduct (  That's putting it  mildly)  and how many  have  had a parade of women  accuse him  of  sexual  misconduct themself. Playing off the prostitute and Playboy  bunny alone should  show the  truth in their accusations,  let alone his taped admissions of his tendency  to  "grab them  by the  pu***".  I  find it extremely  difficult to get my mind around the support that incompetent  narcissist  has.  It does tell the world not so  nice things about  America. I purposely switch the capitalization of tRump's name. I'm pretty sure  people  know  my opinion of that  north end of a south bound "Stable  Genius". He  may  hold the office ,  but you have not had a  President  for  4 years. Please,  tRump supporters , take off your blinders, look around  you,  hold your  nose if you  don't  like Biden  and vote that stain on America  out. Everyone  who  either voted for him because the  GOP's constant  barrage of unfounded character attacks on Clinton over the years or failed to  vote in 2016  because they didn't like either candidate put him in there.  Don't  do  it  again, please.  Look at the real issues and failings of his  administration. Put aside  your  attitudes of  "American freedoms" and whether social services and  Universal  Healthcare  are dreaded  Socialist controls over your lives. Do  you really want to end all government  services?  Think about it.  Any time people form a society where  they help one another  is a form  of "socialism".  Democracy is  socialism.  Absolute monarchy  and dictatorships the only  forms of government that are not.

Yes,  I have lost confidence in Americans living up to the ideals  they claims to  have. The plaque on the Statue of Liberty is meaningless to tRump and the society he is trying to  build will all bowing to  his "magnificence". 

Interesting point of view @davefrombc but keep in mind that it was the Obama/Biden years that got Trump elected. If their agenda was so good, Hillary would have won.  I don't want more government programs, I want everyone to work and earn what they get. I'm only for helping sick, elderly, disabled veterans, and single moms (maybe some others I forgot). No drug addicts or lazy asses. Everyone else has to work. I loved my employer sponsored healthcare before the ACA and wish it would come back. I don't like that employer sponsored healthcare changed so much since Obama. I'm for big business, small business, medium business, and everything that helps drive more business growth. Nothing is free, someone will always pay.

@quadmaniac I'm no longer confident in my prediction that Trump will lose because I didn't anticipate Biden could be this bad.  Again the DNC appoints the worst candidate they could find.  

I can't believe they couldn't find anyone better. Harris did not enhance the ticket at all. They had a chance to put up a winning agenda but they got so consumed in trying to highlight what is bad in their point of view. That's a losing strategy, most vote with a WIFM and their wallets. Trump will end up winning.

The quietest is the stock system

How's everyone doing lately? I know of a few people that got corona and were fine and a couple that ended up in the hospital and didn't make it.

Unemployment is still the same 20% it's been all decade http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/unemployment-charts

That number on ShadowStats measures people who are not working as much as they would “like to” or “could”. You can bring a lot of “noise” into the data if you look for “alternative” data. The actual unemployment rate is those that a working vs non working as a %, not those that are working but not in their ideal job...
