Joe Lieberman was an actual democratic candidate for VP, and he endorsed John McCain. I notice that didn't make you switch sides ,so why should I give any more weight to Powell's actions than you gave to Lieberman.

Not sure what iraq or liberman has to do many former republicans and their statements about Trump
Trump is "drifting" away from the Constitution and said he's a habitual liar. Powell.

Funny there were a few in 2016 now their are many many more.. they believe in the party but not the Man who is an opertunist, not Republican nor democratic

There you go, I removed your trigger so you don't have to do your standard But Obama. In case you didn't know he was the last President and has been gone for years, by the way tell Tweety next time you talk at Maralago.

Trump will lose handily. His floor and ceiling are about the same: 40%. He has destroyed our cities, devastated our economy and put the country in a tailspin by lying about the health care crisis. The people know what he did and he is going.

Just keep defending him.

Here's an explicit acknowledgement that Trump views himself as the president of red America, with blue America more like a foreign adversary to be contained and defeated than as residents of the same country.

Kellyanne Conway on Fox News on violence in US cities: "These are Democratically-led cities and most with Democratic governors... It's not Donald Trump's watch."

You can contrast that with Biden's position first expressed in May.

"These last few days have laid bare that we are a nation furious at injustice. Every person of conscience can understand the rawness of the trauma people of color experience in this country, from the daily indignities to the extreme violence, like the horrific killing of George Floyd.

Protesting such brutality is right and necessary. It’s an utterly American response. But burning down communities and needless destruction is not. Violence that endangers lives is not. Violence that guts and shutters businesses that serve the community is not.

The act of protesting should never be allowed to overshadow the reason we protest. It should not drive people away from the just cause that protest is meant to advance.

I know that there are people all across this country who are suffering tonight. Suffering the loss of a loved one to intolerable circumstances, like the Floyd family, or to the virus that is still gripping our nation. Suffering economic hardships, whether due to COVID-19 or entrenched inequalities in our system. And I know that a grief that dark and deep may at times feel too heavy to bear.

I know.

And I also know that the only way to bear it is to turn all that anguish to purpose. So tonight, I ask all of America to join me — not in denying our pain or covering it over — but using it to compel our nation across this turbulent threshold into the next phase of progress, inclusion, and opportunity for our great democracy.

We are a nation in pain, but we must not allow this pain to destroy us. We are a nation enraged, but we cannot allow our rage to consume us. We are a nation exhausted, but we will not allow our exhaustion to defeat us.

As President, I will help lead this conversation — and more importantly, I will listen. I will keep the commitment I made to George’s brother, Philonise, that George will not just be a hashtag. We must and will get to a place where everyone, regardless of race, believes that “to protect and serve” means to protect and serve them. Only by standing together will we rise stronger than before. More equal, more just, more hopeful — and that much closer to our more perfect union.

Please stay safe. Please take care of each other."

"Not sure what iraq or liberman has to do many "

Do you even read your own posts? You said that Powells defection is evidence of issues in the GOP. Well Lieberman was way bigger in the democrat party than Powell ever was in the GOP, and Lieberman endorsed McCain, and we all know that meant nothing to you. SO why should Powells actions mean any more to me?

Trump is a liar, no doubt. As to his drifting away from the constitution, that what courts are for, to keep him in check, as they were also needed to keep Obama in check. If you're telling me that Biden will adhere more strictly to the constitution than Trump will, that is hilarious.

Lieberman and McCain were best buddies and Liebs thought he was going to get the VP spot.

That's the stupidest argument I've ever heard

At the SOTU who celebrated having a black president and who was sitting there looking miserable and claiming he was not born in America?

Trump at RNC 4 years go: "the crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon come to an end. Beginning on January 20th 2017, safety will be restored."

Judge politicians by their achievements, not their words.

You can pick and choose words and take them from various contexts and put them in contexts from which they did not come and make any statement look foolish or brilliant depending on which lie you want to tell.

Trump has kept several of his promises, most politicians fail in that respect. Judging politicians by their achievements would not go well with that gaggle of liars who supposedly represent us.

Ask his wives about his promises

wdmso 08-27-2020 03:38 PM

Republicans claim the nation is burning with lawlessness is like saying it's raining in Louisiana and telling the State of Maine they should be ready for flooding

I honestly think conservatives have no idea how vast America is..

Kenosha has less than 100k people living there and a fraction of them are involved in riots.


Republicans. Their comming for you ... your not safe be afraid we will protect you . Not right now!

Like Covid 19 and 180k deaths it's just going to dissapear we stopped testing A systematic people before the elections to prove .its disappearing

It wouldn't be happening at all if police stopped shooting 7 times in the back .. it's that easy

Not interested in what he promised them, nor in what they think about it. Melania praised him high at the convention. I doubt if you believe anything she said.

No masks and chairs touching at White House. When will Trumplicans learn that superspreader events lead to deaths? Trump Tulsa rally caused surge in covid and Herman Cain died of covid after being there. Insanity is doing the same thing over & over & expecting a different result.

It’s a sight I never before imagined: the South Lawn of the White House transformed into the stage of a political convention.
Been surprised by how many have brushed this off as a small thing when in fact it’s everything. The equation of the person with the state that is antithetical to this nation’s founding and for which Trump was already impeached.

I found this head line funny

RNC Featured Diverse Lineup of Black, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, Handicapped Speakers

Yea then told to beat it when the convention ended , you've served your purpose

wdmso 08-29-2020 05:08 AM

He then jets to NH for his rallie makes up a story about his staff canceling the Trip to NH

Maybe he should have visited the hurricane damage 1st. Put it is what it is ...

When attendees were told to put on face masks in an announcement, a requirement in New Hampshire for gatherings larger than 100 people, the crowd booed.

The crowd booed ... not surprising. Seeing they are just following his example

But his administration will be the 1st to say they take no responsibility for the action or behaviors of their supporters
