Lol, I found out from Youtube that Trump wanted to push the debate back a week because he was sick with coronavirus. That's a legitimate reason for wanting the debate pushed back. CNN/MSNBC didn't report that at all and instead reported that the sole reason why he wanted to debate in person was because he wanted to "infect Biden". That's not journalism. That's much worse than what I would get from The Young Turks, The Hill, or Secular Talk.
That was absolutely not on CNN nor MSNBC when I watch them. Nonsense.
 
Probably shouldn't get your "news" from Facebook and Youtube.

Trump's having a nuclear meltdown. Trying desperately to deflect attention away from his illness, his ducking the debates, and basically just looking like a fool.

what if the news goes through two proxies, for safety reasons and comedic effect?

lindsay graham has Covid 19 and he’s refusing to take a test for next debate. If he tests positive, the hearing for the scotus nominee can’t take place.
 
Wow. So much for trump wanting to get her in the audience to shake Biden at the debates. 🤣

Anita Hill discussed former Vice President Joe Biden admitting to making mistakes handling her 1991 Senate testimony on alleged sexual harassment from then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas.


 
This was on our local news today.


GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell remains skeptical of the chances for an agreement, having told an audience in Kentucky on Friday that he didn't see a deal coming together before Election Day.

"I think it's unlikely in the next three weeks," McConnell said Friday. He said later that “the first item of priority of the Senate is the Supreme Court," suggesting there isn't time to process both a relief bill and the high court nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett before the Nov. 3 election.

Who cares about people dying, starving, being evicted, etc. I'm hoping McGrath will use the video clip of this moron saying this in her ads soon.

One thing I love about Andrew Yang, yeah he's a Democrat but he's not into playing games just trying to get results.

Dems in house have had a bill passed to senate since May I believe. Turtle would not bring it to vote. Same turtle said there’s not enough time to vote in anything since SCOTUS is the focus. November 4th, compromise. Before, no way, unfortunately.

If they hold out until the dems control all three houses after the election we will get a better stimulus package.

When will the personal and criminal liability lawsuits start? It happened with aids. If you know that you have covid and knowingly put others at risk you should be held liable.

And Senate Republicans are bitching out Mnuchin for these negotiations. They don't want to do anything.

But its no surprise that the usual suspects will decide its Nancy Pelosi's fault when nothing happens.

Would be a miracle if they managed to put off the SCOTUS nomination until after the election because of this.

The house bill is $3 trillion I believe and has a lot of stuff in it that doesn't go directly to the people, if they have a shot at getting direct relief to people they need to take it and worry about the other stuff after. It's not going to look good when Republicans have a way of saying "we tried to get you $1200 but Pelosi wanted money for other things etc.

Pelosi agrees to it and then who's got the pressure on them? the point is to get the people help not play politics and if she agrees it all goes back to senate republicans and if they are the sticking point that makes it even more likely that they lose the senate in November.

I am worried about this election. I know most of the polls show Biden with a lead but you just don't see any enthusiasm behind him like Trump has with his base. I think the polls could be way off again.

But she still has to negotiate and if nothing it happens happens its because the White House walked away for no reason or Senate Republicans don't want to do anything.

I agree that they eventually have to agree but it also should have never got to the last minute like this and that isn't her fault

It was 2.4

I do agree that they win by winning the narrative and getting people to blame people they shouldn't blame.
