The 2020 Presidential Election - Convention & General Election

You don't know what I'm talking about because you don't want to acknowledge it.

Trump's payroll tax vacation. Attempt to buy votes with tax dollars needed to fund social security. Absolutely no benefit to the people getting the temporary tax break as they will have to pay double first quarter next year. But it lets him tell the stupidest of his followers that he cares about them. Bulls#!t. Blatant attempt to bribe the weak-minded electorate.

His administration had a deal made with big pharma to reduce prescription costs for medicare and seniors...until he demanded drug companies send cash cards to all seniors prior to the election. Pharma refused because the saw it for what it was, and Trump scrapped the whole deal because it wouldn't give him what he really wanted. What HE wanted, not what seniors and people on Medicare actually need. He's nothing more than a two bit crook....and you love him for it. Congrats.

So now you know what I'm talking about. Time for you to ignore more facts about dear leader and turn the discussion to something completely unrelated. f#&%ing joke.

(Trump also blocked aid to Puerto Rico for 3 full years out of spite because they were brown people who can't give him anything... until there's an election in 46 days and he realized there are Puerto Rican voters in Florida who he could potentially appeal to so yesterday he finally decides to roll out a $13B Puerto Rico aid package yesterday. Hmmm.)

First you need to calm down.  Second some version of tax cuts or 'stimulus' has become an expectation in times of economic crisis, endorsed by professional economists.  So if that is a 'bribe' then everyone bribes.

I’m very calm. I am just completely amazed at how somebody can ignore common sense and be so in the bag for a con man like Trump. Yes, you amaze and befuddle me. It’s incredible really, and that is not a compliment.
 

How do you possibly consider cutting payroll taxes for 3 months and then doubling them for the next 3 any sort of stimulus? Really, explain that to me because I don’t get it. The people who desperately need an extra $600 bucks over Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec are also the people who cannot afford to pay an extra $600 on top of their usual payroll taxes in the first quarter of next year. What got stimulated? Nothing. Who did it help? Nobody except Trump in this election with people who don’t understand they won’t be able to afford food in Jan, Feb and March. Stimulus my a$$.

Yep, that’s another one I didn’t even bother to list for our head-in-the-sand resident Trump jock rider.

I often find crass humor funny but I don't want to hear it from the president about his opponent.

But it was still funny.  That is the great thing with humor.  Funny is funny.

Go back to the Challenger exploding...the first joke was "What were so-and-so's last words...what does this button do!"

Funny is funny.  Let yourself laugh when something is funny.

That is how jokes work.  You set them up.  That is what made it funny.  If Trump pulls out a Weekend at Bernies poster but with Biden photoshopped in, I will s#!t myself.

Looks like they already did it.  Classic Star Trek episode finds a Nazi planet run by Federation scholar John Gill.  At the end, ***50 YEAR SPOILER*** they find out that Gill is a drugged up puppet for the Commandante.
