Eric Trump is every bit as stupid as he's portrayed on SNL

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/eric-trump-falsely-calls-presidents-coronavirus-treatment-a-vaccine/ar-BB19UHga

Not that he needs to be smart, but he's campaigning for his father, so he should have a reasonable level of intelligence on the subjects he talks about.

President Trump told two senior Russian officials in a 2017 Oval Office meeting that he was unconcerned about Moscow’s interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election because the United States did the same in other countries

Ron Johnson was using blatant Russian propaganda in the Senate Intelligence hearings. The whole GOP is compromised I really hope we find out what Putin has on them.

The friend I had described as being targeted by 'deplorables' in MD a few pages back
died unexpectedly over the weekend. AFAIK, not suspiciously. To say this year has
been suck doesn't even begin to describe it. And the band that I considered like
my second family may not continue going forward. F**k.

And 2 of my three best running friends were just hospitalized after
a car accident Monday. It sounds like they are out of danger but
WTF 2020! Be nice everybody and stay safe.

Kudos to DCK for his work in TX. Record turnout in
Harris county. Beto is saying let’s put the nail in
Golfy McBonespurs coffin if he somehow loses TX.
It’ll be over nov 3rd. People are voting in droves all
over the country.

i forget if anyone posted the footage of trumpers attempting to intimidate voters at early voting in Fairfax but (1) that went VIRAL and (2) was so infuriating.

i wish a trumper would. i'm saving my vote for in-person just to yell at trumpers in line.

Great... Ill see you there, but be sure to keep it strictly to "Yelling". Wouldn't want things to get uncivil between us.

don't bother yelling back if you're going to be wrong.

1) TCJA did not have an effect on the economy, did not "self-fund" as described, did not repatriate dollars.
2) McConnell has stalled the infrastructure bill, and it in fact, has not passed.
3) There has, in fact, been many presidents who "did more for Black people" than Donald J. Trump.
