If there's massive amounts of evidence of crimes committed and they're subjected to a fair trial then yes. Always has been even if it wasn't followed through on. Problem is now things have gotten so rotten, Including possibly trump and DeJoy attempting to steal the election by tampering with the post office and mail in votes from big cities in swing states, that to ignore it would only invite worse later.

But who else in that party has anywhere near the pull of trump? It was decades of celebrity culminating in that stupid reality tv show that set him up. No one else on that side has anywhere near that.

He better have Biden's new AG along with NY state coming after his ass on enough charges to lock him up for life. If Biden's administration doesn't make an example of these fucks the next time they get in power they'll be more emboldened to do worse shit. Precedent needs to be set that this level of corruption gets taken out hard even a former President

That's the only reason Biden had a chance there. Well that and all the california transplants. Arizona was strong R for a long time

Any system of government that relies so heavily on that pack of idiots in Ohio is doomed to failure. I actually now think it's a testament to previous American restraint that the prosperity lasted so long. 1946 to 2001 was a good run for modern times.

Well the whole discussion with the inlaws sparked because they were complaining about racist profiling and treatment they received from law enforcement and the property they were renting while traveling on vacation. There are a ton of police forces that still target latino communities around the state for harassment and biased treatment. Other things would be inequality in health care. When the pandemic was raging in April and May there were many reports of substandard care facilities set up by republican donors in McAllen and the RGV as a whole. Also reports of being denied quality care based on race all over the state. Then there's the large employment hurdles latinos have to overcome to advance in careers. Latino named resumes are more likely to be passed over for interview requests than equally qualified white named one. Career advancement is often times more difficult even if you manage to get your foot in the door. There's plenty of other issues I'm sure but that's the tip of it. Ironically the electoral college system would give them a ton of influence and power if they'd band together and use it. All those issues I described earlier would tend to lessen and in cases disappear if the white state establishment had to fear being voted out by a Latino wave. That's how you gain respect and better treatment from a ruling class that sees and treats you as inferior.

That's exactly it. I tried explaining to some in-laws that the white establishment will never see them as equals. No amount of assimilating or kissing their ass or trying to act like them will make them see you as equals. Your needs as a community politically will never be met unless you threaten the white man's establishment with voting them out. The only way to do that is to properly organize and do it once to swing an election to one side then step to the negotiating table. This trump shit with all the attacks and insults was the perfect time to do it. If they can't do it now under this amount of attack they'll never do it, and the reason why is they are brainwashed into thinking assimilation and ass kissing is the key when it hasn't worked for decades.

England's not far behind the US. Lots of dumbasses pushing for things that will harm them. Maybe not US levels yet but trending that way. The wife, niece, and I probably head to either the BVI or some other place with a strong ex pat community and gives me the ability to easily work remotely.

I'm just ecstatic that a Biden likely win gives at worst a 4 year stalemate and 4 year window for us to get off this sinking ship. Already making plans to amusingly browse over the shit show election 4 years from now from far far away when the idiots come out and elect the next racist inept thief out of the republican party.

So trump and republicans tried to rig the election and even with the fix in still most likely lose? That may be the most trump thing ever.

There's no way the democrat house impeached him without any evidence at all.

What can they do? Run a racist unfit piece of shit who does nothing but lie and steal to appeal to the millions of American idiots? The problem is America has trended full Idiocracy and there's no way to pander to complete morons who like racism, lying, cheating, and stealing in their politicians and still run a functioning democracy.

No, Cubans are complete dumbasses. They still think of republican and democrat in 1960s terms. I bet 99 percent of them have no idea they're actually voting to lose thier healthcare, voting for worse relations with cuba so they'll never have a chance to go back and get land, and voting for increased racial prejudice against them. The same is true for a ton of Texas Mexicanos. The margin in Texas came down to a few hundred thousand. If a strong united latino front showed up against the same issues republicans and trump are attacking them with they would have flipped Texas and this would be over. They would have also ousted Cornyn and made the senate tighter and could do the same to Cruz next time if they wanted. Then they'd have a ton of leverage negotiating with Biden/democrats as a group for policy changes that benefit latinos in Texas because the Dems would know that without them they might have lost the presidency and might not be able to get a senate majority. They could also negotiate with republicans in Texas to get shit changed fast or we'll keep screwing you locally and ousting your people. Instead it looks like Biden and Dems will have the presidency in spite of Texas latinos so there's no room for negotiation at all. No leverage. No policy changes whatsoever to benefit them as a discriminated against minority group in Texas. Latinos have the numbers in Texas, Florida, and Arizona to do massive damage to either side and be in position to negotiate a ton of change but frankly they're being too stupid as a whole to capitalize on it.

If trump stays I wonder how long until an actual manufactured biological agent is released in the US to ride the coat tails of coronavirus and plunge the country in far deeper despair? That or some other veiled attack is not much of a longshot is it? We are weakened and ripe for non-military attack.

He is speaking english. You and the deplorables are just too fucking stupid to understand it

Nixon was Jesus level compared to the shit that is trump and he resigned over a scandal that wouldn't make trump's top 50 scandals. America is far more polarized and tribal than it was 50 years ago. And it's getting worse every year.

This is exactly the case. It's what this election is proving to be true. The battle may be won but the war is lost for good. America is also only getting dumber. Public education is getting worse by the year and proper higher education is getting further priced out from more citizens every year. America's rapid decline from the 90s prosperity to now will only worsen and increase in rate as a full blown kleptocracy takes shape and further republican style propaganda fosters greater polarization and tribal politics to where policy no longer matters. Only propaganda and lies. Hell we are already there.

There's been a massive amount of trump money coming in so they're reacting to entice Biden votes and balance the numbers Doesn't have anything to do with the actual odds of winning

It's a lot of people that have no interest in following any policy at all and support/vote purely on optics if at all. Many may not have the required education to even understand the policy implications. My wife's rural Mexican family has 4 college educated members who are soundly against trump and several who barely finished high school or dropped out that love trump because he talks shit. Seriously, I talked with a couple about it at a family BBQ last year and when I brought up the policy issues facing latinos in Texas from republican policy their eyes just glossed over then they actually said they love trump because he talks shit. If after trump and republicans reaction to George Floyd and Breanna Taylor and the many others the black community isn't going to rally to defeat them then they will never stand a chance of forcing change in policing. Same for Mexicans/Cubans/Puerto Ricans who are shit on by republicans constantly. If they won't even stand up in the one way you can to force change then no one will ever do it for them.

You see where it says 12 percent in? Yeah, too early.

Americans fighting to be universally recognized as the dumbest people on the planet. Raging pandemic killing hundreds of thousands, hospitalizing millions,, tossing well over 10 million into unemployment, and all on the watch of republicans who then shot down necessary aid multiple times during the summer. This should be the biggest landslides of all landslides. This country is broken and will never get better. Even if Biden eeks one out I'm probably better able to convince the wife to relocate to the BVI now.

Just like every day. Work. Outside chance with this being Texas at some right wing terrorist violence if Biden wins, especially after Fox News has been broadcasting that trump has a 91 percent chance of winning, so will prepare for that as well.

They're doing it to set up backing for trump's "it was rigged against me!" garbage that will follow any loss no matter how it happens. Then shit gets even more crazy

"No healthcare plan, higher middle lower class taxes, Rich people pay no taxes, 228,889 dead Americans, 12,580,000 unemployed Americans, 8,000,000 more Americans in Poverty, while Donald Trump used well over 100,000,000 in tax money for golf" That's much more scary. And unlike yours it's actually reality
