Mon Oct 19, 2020, 07:15 AM

there are already cities with large gated communities, so extending their walls is not a far stretch. However, any city that wants to 'gate' itself can tend to their own knitting as far as state or county funding is concerned. Not to mention fed funding... hey, if you are not 'promoting the general welfare' then you can stuff it. Also, make sure to pass state laws that do not allow private entities to purchase any roads from their locale. They can try to gate all they want but if they don't own the roads, they cannot interfere with flow. I might also suggest that anyone who is for such draconian measures be identified so that their workers can leave them to their own devices. I don't care if I work for you, if you are going to actively make my life harder, then you can make your own damn money.

I didn't see the fox broadcast of Joe's speech, but I just checked the Fox news website and the top of the page is dominated by headlines promoting the bogus Hunter Biden laptop "story".

I looked through the rest of the page and didn't see anything about Joe's speech. Mostly all I saw was pro-trump and pro-repug garbage.

Small doses of reality tempered by truth must be given at first but then this must be expanded upon over the next two weeks with honesty appearing here and there with ever increasing frequency. Otherwise, the reality may prove too much for many.

That's why what's left of The Republican Party plans on setting up suicide prevention hotlines across the country from election day forward whose purpose will be to try and talk shell shocked Trumpists out of permanently exiting the GOP voter rolls.

Sadly yet predictably, it's being reported by "many people are saying", that Antifa plans on setting up a few fake suicide prevention hotlines of their own, where instead of tough guys talking Q theory and how even though it sure as shit doesn't look it now, Trump totally has this somehow ... they'll give his cult members helpful hints on the best ways to join Jesus, and as quickly but painfully as possible too. It's said these Commies will even provide templates for a thoughtful suicide note blaming Democrats, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Hunter Biden or George Soros for their actions.

Mon Oct 19, 2020, 08:41 AM

Once every couple weeks we get one of these threads where FOX did something normal for a news network. Don't believe it, FOX has never been more pro Trump than they are right now. 24 hours a day they're an campaign commercial for him interrupted by about 30 minutes of real news coverage without comment.

FOX spends their entire day bragging for Trump about imaginary trade deals, winning the trade war which we got crushed on, all the imaginary things he's done for the military, the imaginary economy we had, the imaginary wall, and the imaginary China Virus. They're still a disgrace and a complete joke. They're a full arm of his campaign. Don't let 1 or 2 incidences fool you.
