in the event that a lock down were deemed appropriate by SCIENCE.
Science can't tell you if a lockdown is appropriate. Questions like would you rather be poor or see 0.04% of the population dead a few years earlier are political and religious.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Hardly surprising the resident white supremacist is giddy on attacking the first black woman VP.

That was Kamala's go to play when Pence pressed for an answer on packing the court,. Well Trump didn't appoint any black judges

If the claimed results of this poll were even a remotely valid indication of how well Trump is doing, why is Biden's lead in the polling stronger than ever, and still growing? Nationally, he now has a comfortable two digit lead, and is statistically within in reach of achieving a landslide, 400 vote Electoral College victory! He only needs 270 Electoral College votes to win!
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Um...I don't think we should get out too far over our skis here. Hardly anyone with a brain here on the forum or in the media ever thought Trump would win 2016.

I'm just saying, Gunnar.

And regardless the outcome of the election, I think that it's going to be a rocky road to anything resembling a return to stability in this country.

Excellent point, Jersey Girl. Both Murphy's Laws of Perversity and the nefarious schemes of Trump could thwart the outcome of the election. Just wait till Republican supporters start calling him ill Douche.

for what it's worth my money would be on the nefarious schemes. We can say what we want about his job performance, his political theater, his chaos making, and how he's going down the tubes in front of our very eyes. But I will tell you what, I finished the Michael Cohen book and the man is entirely diabolical and ruthless in his dirty dealings. Do I think he can pull off a win? Sadly, yes I do.

But it won't be pretty. And if he loses, my guess is that it'll be uglier than the last 4 years. I don't have a crystal ball, of course only let's not underestimate him.

I don't know a lot about politics. I keep returning to the idea of the members of the GOP distancing themselves from him (we're seeing some of that happen) to the point where he thinks he hasn't got their full support. Maybe that's the only way he would go quietly in the event of a Biden win or possible landslide.

Let's face it. He's saying outright crazy stuff publicly right now. I mean crazier than before and while it sounds like a broken record to me, I have no idea how his supporters receive it. I guess maybe the GOP has the option of hitching their horse to a lunatic or separating themselves from him.

Again, I don't know much about politics. I'm trying to learn.
