RE: US Election & Presidency
Hold on to your hats, gents. The predicted tightening of the race seems to be happening.
Not much, but it's starting. A few A/B-rated polls are showing Biden's lead cut to 2%-7%, which has lowered his lead in polling averages below 10% for the first time since September.
I actually think the 'mute' button in tonight's debate will help Trump. He gets to retain his status as aggressive, avenging bully who could only be contained by electoral commission interference. That will keep his stock high among the people who admire him for all the grandstanding and interruptions. But it will also afford Biden the opportunity to do what -- unfortunately -- Biden does so well: give long, tedious, rambling answers that go awkwardly off-piste.
If Biden doesn't give a good performance in tonight's debate, I expect the race will tighten further in the last week.
I'm not panicking yet, but my finger is poised over the panic button

Trump hasn't drained the swamp entirely and I never even suggested otherwise, read what I said again dummy. But he has reduced executive expenditure from the White House and other federal bureaucracies. And Mexico is paying for the wall, they've been hit by tarrifs from the US and I'm sure more measures will be on the way in his second term.

Over 300 miles of repairing the border in a short space of time is impressive as it is. It's a big project and takes time. Also, It's not just 5 miles of primary border completed, 25 miles of secondary barriers have gone up too.
As an aside, I'm not going to take any lectures from dumb Obama fans when this moron thought himself as a hero of the 'Muslim world' by pulling front line troops from Iraq only to start a new shitshow in Libya and lay waste to European shores. His country never had to deal with the ensuing mess, we did in Europe. And what happened to Guantamo Bay? One of his flagship policies was to shut it down and he was caught with his trousers down. And Biden's career in Washington has been even more insipid. Forget grand promises, he was just another indistinguishable Democrat. But at least he put more blacks in prison, well done genius, black Americans will love your record.

But how is Trump's Middle East deal with UAE and Bahrain making the region more unstable? You can't answer it can you?

...I was a little disappointed to check the site this morning and not find a half-dozen posts from Slabhead to refute.
What the hell am I supposed to do now? Work!?
Good question, maybe you should ask that more often to everyone you reply to who are not just long term users but have a suspiciously high post count
