Trump can't win anything unless he lies, cheats, and steals and everyone knows that.

The supposed sabotage of the USPS is only going to expose his treasonous actions further and is going to backfire on him. Why the sudden knee-jerk reactions about the USPS in an election year.
Wjy implement full mailin 90 days to an election in states that did not have it?

Why not have polling booths like in Walmart where people line up as per the scientists.

I guess playing golf is a perfect of way of respecting him then.

We should respect the death of person that his own brother didn't even care enough about.


If trump was playing golf when his own brother was dying, unknown Americans are definitely on their own.
That's why over 160k people are dead and the mad unhinged maniac is still busy playing politics with it.

By the way, how is speculating how someone died disprecting him. If they don't want people to speculate, they should have released cause of death.
You know better than us that he never cared about.

Some people.

Go and tell that to trump that was busy golfing while his brother was dying.

Anyone who read this crap would actually think these people respect the dead.
Would have been better if Trump was by his bedside . Like it was known when he would take his last breathe and never leave the hospital alive. SMH.
. And hospitals are allowing visitors to the bedridden.

Trump's brother, Robert dies from an undisclosed illness...

It's being rumored he died of Covid, which is why it's being kept hush hush. If he had died of any other disease, we would already know.

Trump probably had him drinking Hydroxychloroquine and Zinc..

R.I.P to the dead man
Respect the departed. Whether the TV told you to hate Dont gloat in matters bereavement
Pray for the bereaved instead of mocking them.

It happens to everyone.

There is an article that shows the number of deaths in the first 6 months of the year is almost the same as of 2019.

Taken per week the number of total deaths is the same as of the last 20 years.

Looks like all deaths are reported as corona

Former AG of the state of California, she showed Barr pepper during his confirmation. I would have preferred her in the position of Attorney General.

Waiting for Trump and his minions to unleash their verbal vitriol on Kamala.
till, her home state’s high rate of
incarcerating people of color goes a long
way in explaining the trouble she has had
selling her candidacy to black voters
nationwide. In California and many other
states, racial disparities in imprisonment
have intensified resentments of what
many see as deeply ingrained
discrimination in America’s criminal
justice system.
“Communities of color, they have a hard
time trusting you when you are connected

Common now, why are you putting this lies out and you know it's not true. A lots of door to door campaigning is going on right now. Not much in my State of Illinois because we are Dark Blue State but Indiana which is 45 minutes from my House and Wisconsin which is about an Hour from my crib and Michigan which is less than 3 miles from Chicago are always going through door by door campaigning. The campaign in Nairaland is nothing because 98% of Nairalanders can't vote in an American election.

I do not mean to demean you when I say you don't know nothing about America. I am on the ground and very political active even more so than Obama's time because of the dangerously despotic wannabe Trump we have in office now. I can safely assure you that Trump himself and his inner circle know that the Stars and Galaxies and Americans are lined up against him. Meanwhile, expect more lunacy from the bottom dwelling Trump till election eve.
Joe Biden has the media campaigning for him.Maybe even here in Nairaland.

.The Trump’s campaign knocked on
over one million doors in the past
week, as per Politico, while Biden’s
campaign didn’t send a single
volunteer at voters’ home. The
latter, Politico says, are relying on
phone calls, texts, and virtual meet-
ups with voters, which the experts
say is part of a strategy that voters
will give Biden credit for taking a
more cautious approach to the
pandemic than Trump.

Yes. Even the world leaders that laugh at him are a public arm of the DNC.
Remember: Trudeau, Johnson, Macron and the Princess.
Obama bowed down like an idiot to the Saudi king.

In China Obama had to make do with little used exit because the Chinese did not provide him with the rolling staircase. Neither did they provide him with the red carpet welcome befitting a President. I doubt whether Xi Jinping was even waiting for him at the airport or whether Xi sent his chef to welcome the "second coming' to China. Xi must have .known from wikileaks that Obama is said to have spent 65000 to fly in pizza and hotdogs for a private party in the Whitehouse.

When the polls favours Trump, he becomes excited like a monkey that just received a banana, but when the polls are against him, he becomes sore and start calling everything fake. What a slimy snake.
When they favor him why not blow his top?
When they do not he has to keep his supporters hopes up. Politics 101.
Politics is about perceptions. Creating an illusion a larger than life outlook
His supporters know that polls are rigged and the media is the public arm of the DNC.

Door to Door campaign has been going on in America for over 200 years. You think in your mind that only Trump campaign is doing door to door campaign. Infact, Biden door to door campaign is much stronger than trump's because Americans are coming out strongly against the Divider in Chief Trump. Nov 3rd is around the corner and when the Racist Pig loses in a landslide, we will see your excuse then.
Which Americans are coming out strongly? Biden is using more of zoom instead of aggressive door to door.

Lets wait for Nov 3rd.

You want to know Trump more than Trump himself. Liar liar pants on fire. I saved this from previous pages on this thread. Trump has always been worried about polls..He has shown that he is unstable as well. He can switch sides in the blink of an eye. He would only praise those who worship him or help propagate his numerous lies. If CNN starts spreading his lies, he would quickly call CNN amazing.

I can't wait for the election to be over, so that you lots can go and face your nemesis - Buhari.

The polls to you supporters of the racist Pig is flawed if it doesn't support the Pig you worship. Big surprise coming on Nov 3rd. I belong to a group in Chicagoland that already registered over 150.000 as at last evening and we are still registering more. That situation is going on all over the Fruited Plains.
What is a door to door campaign. Thats the best poll you can ever do.
Not twitter likes.
Is it only America where wuhan has caused casualties?
And by the way on this matter, how many people have died of influenza this year as compared to the same time last year?

Republicans On Reddit Are Sharing The Things That Made Them Stop Supporting Trump

https://www.buzzfeed.com/stephenlaconte/trump-supporters-share-regrets-reddit-2020-election

Last week, a Reddit thread by user PlG3 posed a question to the internet: "If you voted for Donald Trump in 2016 but won't in 2020, what changed your mind?"

The thread quickly went viral, garnering nearly 30,000 replies in just a few days. Here are some of the top-voted responses from self-described former Trump supporters:

1. "I was barely 18 when I voted. I was still a senior in high school. I grew up in an extremely conservative town with opinionated parents and a lack of 'access' to the outside world (I wasn't allowed on any social media). Then I went to college and met people of other races/creeds/sexualities, and I learned empathy."

2. "I voted and then went to the grocery store with a couple of my younger children. There was a very nice young Hispanic kid working and he helped me put stuff in my car so he could collect my buggy. He noticed my 'voted' sticker on my child and asked me who I voted for. I was instantly hesitant to answer truthfully and I realized I felt shame."
—texasmama5

3. "When he appointed a Goldman Sachs executive as Secretary of the Treasury...drain the what? All downhill from there."
—Deftone007

4. "I was 24. I’ve grown. Matured. Found empathy for others. Honestly, I started to grow frustrated with the constant tweeting, lies, and whataboutism. I also stopped watching Fox News."
—based_nero_

5. "The gassing of protesters for a photo op at a church was the final nail in a coffin riddled with them."
Reddit quarantined their subreddit the_donald. They moved on to www.thedonald.win

Alright then, but from what I read so far Sen Strom Thurmond was formerly a Democrat before switching party.
At last finally. He was a senator 54-64 Switched parties to Republican and remained as senator till 2003.

Did he change his stance on segregation? Or did he realise that running for the party that was half hearted ... I have just seen this

. A magnet for controversy during his nearly
half-century Senate career, Thurmond
switched parties, primarily because of his
vehement opposition to the Civil Rights Act
of 1964, and endorsed Republican
presidential candidate Barry Goldwater. In
the months before switching, he had "been
critical of the Democratic Administration for
enactment of the Civil Rights Law",


That tells you all. He was a proponent of segregation like the democrats, then realised that it would not take him anywhere .
Note he switched from the stance taken by the party of slavery to the party that emancipated slaves.

Very good example.

Why don't you stop making a foool of yourself with your blind support of a vile racist Pig named trump. Do you know better than 51% of Americans who say in the latest Quinnipiac Poll that Trump is a racist. Why do you think over 90% of African Americans will vote against him on Nov 3rd. You know better than the Americans that have known of his bigotry and hatred before you even know where America is on the world map. You just keep on spouting the garbage and people are trying to correct you but you call them liars why you are the real liar just like the Pathological lying racist Trump you worship.
The polls are skewed. Trump does not seem worried about naysayer polls.
He has his team of several thousands waging a door to door campaign. More so in battleground states. That gives an exact indication of the final result.
Hold your horses. We saw how polls lied for Clinton.

Since Basilico can't give us a solid reason why JLewis was a democrat and also why majority of black voters support democrats.

Trump retweeted some Maga shouting white power in a golf cart some weeks ago.
I am still wondering why white supremacists line up behind Trump?
We need more educative stuffs on this thread.
Why have they refused to side Biden?
Suppose the KkK guys in those rallies were paid to appear in videos or photos? How come no one doxxed them.

Remember in 2016 Scott Foval a DNC operative was hiring troublemakers to Trump rallies.


On October 18, 2016, O'Keefe released a
series of videos on Project Veritas'
YouTube channel titled "Rigging the
Election" that apparently showed former
national field director Scott Foval of
Americans United for Change discussing
planting agitators, including "mentally ill
people that we pay to do shit" in front of
Donald Trump rallies to ask questions near
reporters, a common practice known as
"bird dogging". [122][123] Foval also said
"We've been bussing people in to deal with
you fuckin' assholes for fifty years and
we're not going to stop now." Foval later
said he was talking about busing people to
rallies. [124] Foval went on to discuss the
legal consequences of voter fraud: "Let's
just say, in theory, if a major investigation
came up of major vote fraud that way, how
would they prove it? ... If there's a bus
involved, that changes the dynamic ... You
can prove conspiracy if there's a bus, but if
there are cars, it is much harder to
prove."



Both guys Scott Foval and Creamer were fired after the video was published on youtube.

Number two question Basilico.

2. Why does Trump get endorsement from kkk and white supremacists. Why does he attract slimy creatures?
Maybe they think he is good for the economy unlike the liberal democrats and he will keep his promises of making their lives better.
They also soul searched maybe, just like Robert Byrd, Clinton's mentoir did.

I hope that answers you I also would like to know how this played out

Shut up with that crappy talking point, this is how the house and senate voted for civil right along party lines.
Liar Liar. The democrats did not want to desegregate esp.

The House passed the bill after 70 days of
public hearings and testimony in a
290-130 vote . The bill received 152 “yea”
votes from Democrats, or 60 percent of
their party, and 138 votes from Republicans,
or 78 percent of their party.


After some changes were made to the bill
and the filibuster ended, it passed
the Senate with a 73-27 vote. About 82
percent of Republicans in the Senate voted
for the bill, as did 69 percent of Democrats.
The amended Senate bill was then sent
back to the House where it passed with 76
percent support from Republicans and 60
percent support from Democrats.

Members of Black Lives Matter held a
solidarity rally on Monday night with the more
than 100 individuals who were arrested after a
night of looting and unrest in Chicago.
The rally was held at the South Loop police
station where organizers say those individuals
are currently being held in custody.
“I don’t care if someone decides to loot a
Gucci or a Macy’s or a Nike store, because
that makes sure that person eats,” Ariel
Atkins, a BLM organizer, said. “That makes
sure that person has clothes.”

Black Lives Matter Chicago organized the rally
after overnight unrest throughout the city, with
police saying that more than 100 individuals
were taken into custody for a variety of
offenses, including looting.
“That is reparations,” Atkins said. “Anything
they wanted to take, they can take it because
these businesses have insurance.”


Chicago guy,
This is a definite vote getter for Joe Biden. All those businesses owners premises damaged and looted because Orange man bad will hate him the more. Afterall some might close down and then Drumph will refuse to give them 600 dollars a week for being unemployed after this. Their workers will also hate Drumph the more because yea this was just for reparations n they got families, relatives and friends they are supporting. Very unfair if they lose their jobs and dont get money to even send their village mates N200 for data bundles because Orange man Bad.
