billay 163 Posted June 17 Report Share Posted June 17 Oh come on! These arent ordinary times and we have 2 gaffe machine candidates. What are people holding onto? My guess? My sexual assault allegations vs Biden and we will have tape of Trump either using racial slurs or implying some sort of racial insult. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What could possibly surprise anyone about Trump? I ask sincerely. His speech declaring for the Presidency was, itself, racist. And then we got an ACTUAL RECORDING of him BRAGGING about multiple sexual assaults. And he won anyway. What could he possibly do that would be worse? The only thing I could see remotely surprising is if someone like Ivanka or Jared openly turned against him -- but that's not worse than bragging about sexual assaults you've committed. Biden, of course, is held to a higher standard (as all politicians are supposed to be) and therefore has farther to fall. And yet the absolute worst things he could do would be things that Trump has already done.  So...I don't see October surprises mattering much this time.

I believe, given a big part of his platform (and one of the only consistently stuck to), the out of the blue trade wars, and his touting about his business career and finding opportunities and such, is that an economic failure, on his watch, such as what is happening now, even if the Horseman of Pestilence has delivered it, may be the one type of thing that won't deflect off of his "political Teflon."

Omorosa sp? Claimed to have some stuff of him using slurs on tape. Say a tape comes out with him using the N word gets released. Youd have to think that would have some damaging effects.

Do you?  I mean, his senior advisor Steve Bannon’s only claim to fame was that he ran a website with an entire section dedicated to crimes committed by minorities. If you care about blatant racism, you’ve already ruled out Donald Trump. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Outlandish ideas: Trump nukes China out of a show of support for the Indians during their border crisis. Biden, in an interview, refers to Robert Byrd as "one of the few good men that was in the klan". Turns out 5G actually gives you COVID. Trump tweets a vague threat towards RBG saying, "Shes so old, she should retire before terrible things happen to her #maga #kag" Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Â Why does EVERYONE believe this pop culture myth that the U.S. President can just launch nuclear missiles on their own discretion, decision, and whim alone, with no counter-authorizations, fail-safes, layers of protocol, and a REAL palaver around. "The button," or "the Presidential nuclear codes," is purely Hollywood - and it's amazing how many times I've to repeat that here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just going for the most overy the top predictions.   Hell Trump could pardon Dylann Roof. Joe Biden could say, "The biggest problem is we didn't lock up enough people". There is a DDOS attack by an unknown nation causing mass confusion. A far-right militia group is inspired by CHAZ and tries to create their own compound and it turns violent.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
