Trump failed to receive the popular vote, nor did he ever have over 50% job approval rating. HE CRUSHED IT!!!!!

Re: Election 2020 - Whom Will Be Victorious?
We are led by a so called president who had 3 million less votes than his challenger and a Senate majority who represent 12 million less constituents than their democrat counter parts. Gerrymandering and voter suppression is the weapons of the right.....without it they can't win.
I blame Biker.

Re: Election 2020 - Whom Will Be Victorious?
cry me a fucking river. you fucks have promised the world to every voting block you can rope in to be paid for by a tiny fraction of the population. which gives you move voters. Add to that the entire media is embarrassing themselves to do everything possible for your party. Add to that every major internet company involved in social media and communication has done everything in their power to put their thumb on your side of the scale. and add to that the pandemic which you guys have used to completely wreck our economy to seal the deal. Yeah, its so unfair for you guys.Stapes wrote: ↑Sun Nov 01, 2020 11:37 pmWe are led by a so called president who had 3 million less votes than his challenger and a Senate majority who represent 12 million less constituents than their democrat counter parts.

How Trump Took the Middle Class to the Cleaners
The president promised a return to shared prosperity, but the benefits of his economic policies only bubbled up to the richest
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/p ... y-1080345/
Contrary to all of Trump’s assurances, his tax bill generated a windfall to the 1 percent. “It’s the continuance of 40 years of upward siphoning of the nation’s wealth to a tiny elite,” says Blyth. Income-tax cuts generated an extra $50,0000 a year for America’s highest earners. But the real benefit, $1.35 trillion, went to corporations — and by extension to their top executives and shareholders.
Securing a massive corporate-tax cut was the feature of the tax bill that Trump personally insisted on, and Republicans in Congress responded by slashing the corporate-tax rate from 35 to 21 percent. In the past, “tax reform” has closed loopholes while lowering rates, to hold down the cost. But the new tax code remained riddled with the kind of carveouts that reportedly allowed Trump to pay nothing in taxes in 10 of the previous 15 years and only $750 in tax in 2017, according to The New York Times.
The new cuts, designed to favor corporations, worked out better for big business than even the architects of the law intended. Under the new code, the effective corporate tax — what companies really pay after taking advantage of loopholes — fell from an already low 17.2 percent to just 8.8 percent. Corporate-tax revenue in 2018 fell by $135 billion compared to baseline projections. Many companies ended up paying nothing at all. Nearly one-fifth of Fortune 500 companies reported profits to shareholders but owed nothing in corporate income tax, including Amazon, Chevron, FedEx, and Starbucks. Wall Street was a big winner too: Over the first two years of the Trump tax code, the nation’s six biggest banks pocketed an extra $32 billion they would have otherwise paid in taxes, according to a Bloomberg analysis.
The Trump bill offered an additional gift to companies with cash overseas. The global profits of U.S. corporations had long been subject to taxes at home, but a flaw in the old tax code let companies avoid paying as long as that income remained offshore. Tech companies in particular exploited this loophole with accounting gimmicks that made domestic profits appear as if they’d been earned in foreign tax shelters like Ireland and Bermuda. By the time the Trump tax act passed, companies had stockpiled nearly $1 trillion offshore. Trump’s “fix” for this problem was perverse: He broadly ended the U.S.’s ability to tax foreign profits. While the new law did impose a one-time tax on accumulated overseas cash, it taxed companies at a discount — as little as eight percent.
The Trump tax succeeded in taking the stock market on a rocket ride. The returning profits of corporations were pumped into a “record-breaking amount of stock buybacks,” according to the Congressional Research Service, including $1 trillion in 2018 alone. The benefit of the Trump tax cut, insists Frank Clemente, executive director of Americans for Tax Fairness, “trickles up” to executives whose compensation is tied to share prices. “They’re feathering their own nests by buying back their own shares,” Clemente says.

we know what caused the decline, stupid. we shut down all businesses. that's a pretty easy one to figure out. but the rebound was all Trump.

So, 60 Minutes does 4 segments each week on their news show. This week, out of all of the news in the world, one of those segments was on Cindy McCain and who she is voting for president.
How sad is the media now?

He's a lying dog-faced pony soldier. But remember, poor kids are just as smart as white kids.
If you still, after that statement by Demented Joe Biden, think President Trump is the racist in this election, you are truly, magnificently stupid and detached from reality.
