Donald Trump has bragged that the only person more famous than him is
Jesus Christ. Addressing a rally of supporters in Greenville, North

in the world by far” ‘I said “No I’m not.” He said “Yes you are,”, I
said
“No I’m not” He said “Who’s more famous?” I said “Jesus Christ.”‘ Trump
then basked in the cheers of fans after delivering his punchline,
adding:
‘I’m not taking any chances.’ Thursday’s rally also saw Trump
repeatedly
brand rival Joe Biden ‘corrupt’ and claim the Democratic presidential >>> nominee was in the pocket of the Chinese government.

### - BIG mistake trumpy! heh... HUGE! :D
i.e., the beatles got into quite a lot of trouble once for
saying/suggesting they were bigger than jesus?? which went down at the
time like a lead balloon!
he has also now threatened to 'leave' the united states if he loses the
election??
one anti-trump reporter laughingly taking that headline and writing
underneath it: "is that a promise?" :)))
he also accused biden of being a "crime boss" LOL !
i mean, talk about the pot calling the kettle black?? hah!
doesn't look too good now for mr-t, who seems to have gone out of his
way
to literally offend almost everyone??
to the point he's likely to be boo-ed off-stage in a couple of weeks
time!
now trailing by 11 points in the more crucial states polls, he's
actually
getting desperate!
plus who knows what kinda stunt he may then try to pull in his
desperation?
to the point 'anything' could happen in the next 2 weeks!?
plus what a nut he turned out to be huh :)
I don't know so much. There are a lot of disgruntled voters out there
in USA land who aren't early voting because they distrust the postal
vote system. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Trump wins.
The day itself will tell.
### - well i agree that it's a not at all a foregone conclusion he'll be booted out, even the fact that nearly everyone, except fanatics and
nutcases, has lately come to detest him including even many in his own
party, is still no guarantee he wont yet still cheat and buy his way back into office by hook or by crook...
it's thus going to be a very interesting election is it not?
am gonna be watching it anyway haha, popcorns & colas, the lot :)))
### - haha well i certainly enjoyed that one lol :)))
trumpy, obviously forced to comply with a 'monitored' debate because his numbers (his big, beautiful numbers lol) are so very low in the polls that
a refusal at this point in the running would have virtually guaranteed his loss; desperate now to get his big, beautiful numbers back up he struggled
to restrain himself and not interrupt but couldn't quite make it,
repeatedly interrupting the monitor with "excuse me's" so he could carry
on deflecting from the questions put to him in an effort to sing his own praises, and which, imho + observation anyway, didn't really work nor come across very well... thus he was not happy puppy when leaving that debate,
and it showed on his face? (looked grim!)
biden at least sounded (and looked) balanced & sane... as the left always
do in comparison to the ravings of the right using, as they do, every opportunity just to electioneer via nasty soundbites and accusations that deliberately only ultimately deflect from the issues raised rather than actually debating: their standard ploy! and thus spoke about 'all'
americans rather than divisively talking about red versus blue states...
he actually coming across much better than trumpy - even though it remains
to be seen if the american people, caught-up as they are (as we all are)
in turmoil & horror over this killer pandemic and struggling race
relations and what's going to happen to them all next - will be even
'able' to hear it for what it is, and when perhaps just 'the devil you
know' rather than an unknown factor suddenly coming into the equation
might still have more appeal?
thus trumpy could even still win it, albeit no doubt am sure the popular
vote will have indeed increased many fold against him since the last
time...
(a 'one man one vote' - imho a much fairer system less open to corruption
- would have surely ensured he'd never been elected in the first place?
but since when were elections ever fair??)
one can thus only hope america votes en-mass for sanity rather than
madness this time around?
and if they do it'll be a landslide!
so it's still not totally clear! nevertheless, my money's still on biden...
on the 'promise' of sanity & reason 'rather' than chaos, in which case the
left have got a damn good chance!
guess we'll see just where people's heads are actually at in only another
12 days time huh...
interesting times indeed! ;)
"Life goes on much the same. In the face of terrifying dangers and golden political opportunities, people just keep-on keeping-on in a sort of
twilight sleep in which they're conscious of nothing but the daily-round
of work, family life, darts at the pub, exercising the dog, bringing home
the supper, beer, etc, etc."
