    all this conversation about white supremacy
    i've been a conservative white guy for 30 + years now and have plenty of conservative people in my life of all colors
    some of them are actually white (racist i know)
    and i have never ever heard or seen anything about these groups or even heard anyone say anything like white people are better
    yet i see the actual rioting and looting in the name of blm and antifa happening on the regular
    i'm not saying white supremacists don't exist but i also don't think its anywhere close to the threat the media hypes it as
    me and my buddies are pretty decent shots though

    I see people (smart people, mind you) saying he's using this as an excuse to get out of debates? Really?
    TDS is a helluva disorder and far more dangerous than COVID.
    Secular humanism is a gateway drug.

    Think about this.
    Biden was forced into disavowing the Green New Deal during the debate. That's real news, no?
    And the moderator isn't the one who got that out of him.
    It was Trump.
    And instead of asking Biden to clarify which parts/how much of of the Green New deal he opposes, (considering his running mate co-sponsored it), Chris Wallace just moves on.

    Trump is an abysmal debater in my opinion (squandered so many opportunities to demolish Biden and draw a clear contrast between himself and his opponent on issues of great consequence to this country), but was more competent than a 40-year veteran "journalist" and a 47 year do-nothing politician.

    Trump is trying to dodge debates?
    Give me a break

    They really need to change the format.
    I don't want to watch debate as a sport.
    I want to watch two candidates have a long form conversation where they're allowed to challenge and press each other without a loser preventing the discourse.

    Somebody needs to coach the president on how to focus on what's most important and not fall into the moderator's trap of questions that are not only loaded, but shitty in general. It takes most of the two minutes to deal with the absurdity of the question and

    Take the Supreme Court discussion for example. Trump focused too much on why he has the right to make his appointment (because, well, that's what the crappy moderator asked about). Instead, we should have heard about why it's important that he makes his pick, highlight the importance of the future of the Supreme Court during this election cycle, and press Joe on why he doesn't release a list of justices so the American people can make an informed decision between the two candidates.

    "Joe, the American people elected me as President and they elected a Republican Senate because they want justices confirmed to the Supreme Court who will do x, y, z (hit on free speech, second amendment, life, property, etc). That's what I will do. It's my constitutional obligation and it's the will of the people. I believe you are doing a great disservice by not providing a list of justices who you feel are more qualified. There is perhaps no greater issue to the American people than the Supreme Court. I want the people to know I will appoint justices that will protect x, y, z. To those at home, Joe refuses to let you know who he would appoint. Considering the type of people who control him, that's terrifying."

    Trump can't just go in there and wing it anymore. Unfortunately, he needs to have at least 1 scripted/memorized monologue for each topic and prioritize that message. Then the off the cuff zingers are gravy.

    Washington Post in response to Trump testing positive for COVID-19:

    "Imagine What it Would Feel Like to Never Think About Trump Again"

    They've since deleted it.
    Not because they realize how grotesque it is for a "news" outlet to wish death upon the sitting president.
    They probably realize stuff like that only helps Trump.

    They caught the guy who ambushed the two cops in Compton.

    "Identified as 36-year-old Deonte Murray"

    The longer an article or broadcast goes without mentioning the race of the shooter increases the likelihood that it wasn't a white male.

    Granted, "Deonte" is kind of a giveaway.

    Racist.

    Watch this guy get treated with kid gloves by the media, while they smear Kyle Rittenhouse and the St Louis couple who dared to defend their property.

    So if Trump has the supposed bat blood virus from the land of the serpent dragon and is married to an eastern european from the old country who speaks English like an extra from an ed wood movie... Does it mean that Trump will know receive the vampire antidote and invite all the recipients of government charity to a huge feast where they are all farmed for their blood.

    Don't know (or care) about the politics, but the Ed Wood remark is priceless.
    Well done, boyo.

    It wasnt a political post.
    It was a 'have you seen one of the documentaries on the life of old vlade and his wife' kind of post.
    There are lots of em but the one with Christopher Lee from when he had black hair still is mighty well done. But you being from another time... you probably read the book.
    Back in the land of the scythe lords across the elfwood forests and bohemian woods. Hopping about the misty mountains and sailing the seven seas of rhye.

    The kidneys filter the blood. Like the Rhine filters the land.
    What is filtered gets stored and turned into stuff we arent supposed to talk about even on DSP.
    But stuff that neck romancers need to suck on to raise themselves up for another night.
    Of course this is just another bedtime story to keep you in fright.
    Says the papal bull from the official Rome mania.

    Pied piper is a similar story. There are a few in history, literature, and even our news.
    I wonder what Hitler ordered the train operators to tell the deplorables they were getting on the train for? A big feast in a new city built just for them?

    Vlad invites all the poor and beggars and widows and orphans to a feast.
    Then kills them all in stakes and provides the blood to his wife for her medical needs.
    Because science. They had received the cutting edge new science after all.
    Leeches save!
    Being that we are good catholics that follow the bible literally and are part of the greater society and culture of their time.
    The blood of Jesus saves!
    So naturally they are going to support sound modern science of their era as well as the holy church. What normal right minded member of society would NOT do what was the correct thing to do. Vlad could place a goblet of gold in his favorite river so everyone could drink and nobody would steal the goblet.
    If a visitor lost 100 pieces of gold he would promise it returned in a day and the next day the visitor would end up with more than what he had lost because the countrymen would just donate gold to cover the loss to avoid angering Vlads reputation of having the city with the kindest noblest people who would never steal. Or else Vlad may feel like burning your village down for not showing the proper faith.
    Speaking of faith.
    How politically correct do you think the people of Transylvania would behave?
    Their hearts and minds where in lockstep with their Fuhrer.
    The people operated like a borg. Maybe thats why we have burgs.

    But back to the miracles of science!
    Which was that leeching blood from one person and giving it to another is life saving and basically the fountain of everlasting life and youthful vitality that lasts until you die.
    Instead of dying an old man.
    It is the story of Jesus come to life thanks to the blood magic errrr science.

    Culture gets all the right answers so they can pass the test with flying colors.
    Except that its like a driving test. The answers are not the most important part.
    It is how you drive that matters.
    And that takes practice.
    You can have all the answers that science can give you.
    Its like the kid who studies more than the rest of the class.
    A try hard. Trying hard is basically cheating when you are already on the brighter side.
    It puts the rest at a very big disadvantage.
    And the less bright are more blunt.
    With their words and their el blows.
    But some stupid fuckers want to be perfect.
    When perfect is the enemy.
    The intellectual bully.

    Revenge of the nerds is one thing. It has some impact but ultimately its just a little movie.
    Revenge of the blunts is what the cultured call barbarians at the gates.
    Alexander isn't around to shut them away this time.
    Or maybe Trump thinks he is King Phillip of Makeda.
    His little boy ain't so little anymore.

    The "nonpartisan" Committee has selected Susan Page to be the moderator of the VP debate.

    Susan Page who has a new book coming out soon titled: Madam Speaker: Nancy Pelosi and the Lessons of Power - A Biography

    "nonpartisan". Sure
