Shouldn't the question be; Do you think the DNC could do better than two geriatric men on the point of dementia?


Surely there’s room for more than one question.

I don’t know if this will mean much to anyone over there but Vera Lynn has died at the grand age of 103.

She was the British forces sweetheart during WW2 with hits like ‘We’ll meet again.’

To be honest I was surprised to hear her making statements on the 75 th anniversary of VE day thinking she must have died long ago, but no. She made it to 103.

On an iPad and can’t post links


Okay, okay...now you've done it. My mind will be fixated for the rest of the day on Stanley Kubrick, Slim Pickins riding a bomb, and the song. NO way I will get it out of mind for at least 24 hours.

Damn.

And just by the way...

A geriatric man “on the point of dementia”, the average mail carrier, a tree frog or a random cinder block would be superior to the amoral, addled mass of ancient, incontinent, McDonald’s- fed grotesquerie occupying the office now.

@farmerman,
I have no copyright on the name. If oralloy is actually named Oliver (?), you're more than welcome to call him "Ollie".

Do you blame the RNC for Trump?

It's not the DNC's responsibility to tell people who to vote for. There were plenty of good candidates to choose from. When the Sanders campaign, well organized and flush with cash due to the '16 run, showed that he could prevail with 30% of the vote, people who didn't want a socialist at the top of the ticket began to coalesce around the only other candidate who was able to demonstrate a strong base of support with the help of the black community.

@hightor,
Do you think Builder was really asking because he wanted a reasoned answer?

@izzythepush,
You don’t deny the fact, though. Because you know I can bring 10 links proving it.

I don't doubt that you can provide links alleging anything.

Are you talking about '16 or '20? Because '16 is not really relevant in regard to Biden.

If the Democratic establishment is so adept at cheating, one wonders why they didn't install a better candidate from the large selection of racists and Republicans running for the Democratic nomination.

@Lash,
I don’t pay any way as much attention to American politics as you assume. You are au fait with far right websites and the Kremlin’s paid actors and I’ve no wish to read all that nonsense.

You have a history of making stuff up and posting links that go somewhere else entirely, usually some to pay wall.

You don’t deny that you're trying to discredit the democratic process to keep your boy Trump before an election has even started.

It’s like you don’t want a peaceful transition of power at all, but blood on the streets and a military dictatorship.

Definitely an inconvenient revelation but not even slightly surprising. Considering that Trump didn't know the guy and his circle at all and yet went there, imagine the content of Trump's (and his allies') conversations with Putin and Putin's agents.

Especially the ones who were peeing on him. They were able to take notes.

U.S. Supreme Court rules against Trump bid to end 'Dreamers' immigrant program
Quote:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday dealt a President Donald Trump a major setback on his hardline immigration policies, ruling against his bid to end a program that protects from deportation hundreds of thousands of immigrants, dubbed “Dreamers,” who entered the United States illegally as children.

The justices on a 5-4 vote upheld lower court rulings that found that Trump’s 2017 move to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, created in 2012 by his Democratic predecessor Barack Obama, was unlawful.

Conservative Chief Justice John Roberts joined the court’s four liberals in finding that the administrations actions were “arbitrary and capricious” under a federal law called the Administrative Procedure Act.

The ruling means that the roughly 649,000 immigrants, mostly young Hispanic adults born in Mexico and other Latin American countries, currently enrolled in DACA will remain protected from deportation and eligible to obtain renewable two-year work permits.

The ruling does not prevent Trump from trying again to end the program. But his administration is unlikely to be able to end DACA before the Nov. 3 election in which Trump is seeking a second four-year term in office.

@Walter Hinteler,
Team Trump is attacking Antifa on facebook with the insignia the Nazis used to identify "democrats, socialists, communists, anarchists, rescuers of Jews" in their concentration camps.
Prisoners’ individual experiences in the camps: arrival at the camp, accommodation in the barracks, work, illness, death. (On average, more than 1/3 of the prisoners in any of the camps.)

@Walter Hinteler,
In an interview with Sean Hannity on Wednesday, Trump said the virus was "fading away".

On Wednesday, Oklahoma recorded 259 new cases, a single-day record for the second day in a row, and three days before Trump is scheduled to hold an indoor campaign rally in Tulsa in defiance of his administration’s guidelines for phased reopening.

@Walter Hinteler,
I think John Oliver said it best, I’m quoting from memory. He said that for all of Trump’s ignorance on matters of science, medicine, world affairs, government, history, geography etc etc. He’s the library of Alexandria when it comes to racist quotations and iconography.
