    I appreciate the updates (although my caveat from last week still stands).

    I will not agree that anyone is "done' until the results are in and verified.

    There is open f*ckery with the election going on by the Trump cabal (and Russia, China, Iran, etc.). I trust the election process, of course, but I don't trust that there won't be f*ckery until Election Day (and beyond).

    I'd duck if I had delivered a line like that one.

    The debates between those "leading 2024 contenders" will be highly entertaining!

    He'll stand and fight for America. Here's a video that includes him fighting off a foreign invader, at about 35 seconds in.

    I think the article's headline says it all:

    Trump’s ABC News town hall: Four Pinocchios, over and over again

    The 4 Pinocchios are:

    • We are within weeks of having a vaccine, when it's likely well into 2021 before it is available to Americans
    • We've done very well compared to other countries, when that is demonstrably false
    • Obama is to blame for the lack of ventilators, when there was enough ventilators to deal with the initial surge.
    • The reason we have so many cases is because we test more, which is just a stupid comment
    • Claiming that Biden said he was xenophobic for putting in the travel ban, when Biden said it didn't include the travel ban, rather the various attacks on China that Trump was making.
    • Claiming he didn't downplay the threat of the virus, when he admitted to it in Woodward's tapes
    • Claiming he never said anything bad about China's PM because no one knew how dangerous the virus was initially, when Trump repeatedly told Woodward how dangerous it was
    • Claiming he acted quickly, particularly with regards to travel bans from Europe, when the US was actually rather slow in responding and what bans there were had massive holes that actually resulted in large spikes of infections as Americans rushed home from abroad.
    • Claiming he created the greatest economy in history, when that is wrong on so many levels
    • Claiming Pelosi was standing in SF's Chinatown saying it was exaggerated, when she was there to advocate people visit Chinese owned businesses, but encouraged everyone take precautions.
    • Congratulating Rudy for how well he did on NYC crime, while blasting de Blasio, when crime is actually down in NYC under de Blasio and the murder rate is half that of Rudy's best year
    • Claiming 81% of Blacks want MORE police presence in their community, when only 20% want more and 61% want the same.
    • Claiming they don't want to do anything with pre-existing conditions, when they want to repeal ACA and have no plan to replace it.
    • Claiming people were going bust from paying the individual mandate, when the reality is the average "fine" was $470.
    • Claiming everyone owns stock, when reality is only 55% of Americans do
    • Claiming Biden wants to raise taxes on everyone, when every analysis shows Biden's tax plan only adds taxes for people making over $400k
    • Claiming 26 people came out denying Trump every disparaged soldiers, when the number may be correct, but the denials were largely "The President wouldn't say something like that".
    • Claiming that McCain never took good care of veterans, when Trump has repeatedly claimed he was responsible for passing bills that McCain authored that helped veterans before Trump took office.
    • Claiming he rebuilt a depleted military, when the "depletion" was just a result of no longer having to pay for wars in Iraq. He also claimed credit for the military's budget, rather than just the "increases" under him.
    • Claiming Mattis was an overrated general and that Trump took over the ISIS caliphate after he left, when Mattis was actually highly respected and taking over the caliphate was largely complete by the time Mattis resigned and basically everything responsible for destroying the caliphate was set-up during Obama's term.
    • Claiming we've spent $8 trillion on the various wars, when the referenced study is $7 trillion and only after the entire debt, including interest after its been paid off in 2056.
    • Claiming the Iraq War was a huge mistake, which is true, but it was a huge mistake that he at least gave his lukewarm support to.
    • Claiming that he played a role in activating the MN National Guard following Floyd's murder, when he played no role other than as cheerleader.
    • Claiming 20% of Seattle had been taken over by protestors and that the only reason Seattle cleared them out was because Trump told the Mayor that he was sending in federal troops the next day, when the CHOP was only 6 blocks and the mayor denies any such conversation

    My parents have gotten super into birdwatching in retirement and I was a click away from buying that for my dad's birthday.

    Felt like it would have been a lot to explain, so I held off, but let's see what Christmas has in store.

    As for the election, time for celebration for Trump fans - Rasmussen has the president 1 point up in the popular vote. It is over folks. No question about it.

    This thread isn't nearly slow enough for a pun train to start, so no more peeps from the coop.
