Wow, this mask is a babe magnet! Can't believe all the smiles, waves, comments, "Joe Biden!" remarks that I've been getting on my daily 10-mile walks, mostly from soccer moms and people of color. Thankfully, I live in a very civilized part of CA.

Donny's Poll Numbers Are So Bad the GOP Is Starting to Panic About a ‘Wipeout’
GOP strategists working on Senate and House races told VICE News that they're seeing Donny's numbers plunge in states and districts across the country.

https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/x...bout-a-wipeout

Quote:
“The environment really sucks for us right now. We’ve got a worldwide pandemic, the economy is slipping and now we have a race war tacked on,” warned one GOP strategist involved in multiple races. “If the election were held today, we’d be talking about a wipeout. We’d be in landslide territory.”
So give up and move over from the dark side to the light, assholes.

Trump allies see a mounting threat: Biden’s rising evangelical support

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/0...support-330780

Quote:

Biden, a lifelong Roman Catholic, has performed better in recent polling among white evangelicals — and other religious groups — than Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton did in 2016 and is widely perceived as more religious than the current White House occupant. A Pew Research study conducted earlier this year showed that a majority of U.S. adults (63 percent) think Trump is “not at all” or “not too religious,” versus 55 percent who said they believed Biden is somewhat or very religious.
I find it preposterous that religion should even enter the political arena, but sadly, it does, and Joe is far more religious than Donny.

Jimmy Carter was more "religious" than Reagan. Which one made the better president?

I believe the guys that flew those planes into the buildings were very "religious". And so were the folks at Waco.

Being "religious" means nothing. What matters is your world view and moral compass, and from where you get your values.

Remember, David, a "man after God's own heart" was a truly great leader and wise man. He also murdered a man to have his wife. Morality is, um, complicated, especially when we are talking about great men in leadership. It speaks to why Churchill could have a quart of bourbon a night and Hitler was a teetotaler, but Churchill was the more "righteous" leader.

Carter was certainly one of the best character examples to grace the Oval as a religious person or otherwise, I believe there were others with commendable ethical standards.

They are lots better than CNN. No comparison. Sites like ET are blowing up that old MSM phrase, "If we don't report it, it didn't happen.".

We are forced to go to other sources to get the whole story and, guess what? Those sources are proving to be BETTER than some of the sources we have mistakenly trusted for years.

Sorry, Biff. No surprise that you get your so-called "news" from Epoch Times. I'll take the nation's newspaper of record, the Washington Post any day over some YahooTube jockey.

No sale.

Tax documents of the Epoch Media Group indicated that between 2012 and 2016, the group received $900,000 from a principal at Renaissance Technologies, a hedge fund led by the conservative political donor Robert Mercer.[27] Chris Kitze, a former NBC executive and creator of the fake news website Before It's News who also manages a cryptocurrency hedge fund, joined the paper's board as vice president in 2017.[26]
Ah, the evil Mercer family, along with a fake news purveyor. Clearly spreading malicious lies. Avoid like the plague.

What lies? Are there any examples you would like to share?

Or is that just a BFC (Big Fat Claim)?
