I hope he has to be forcibly removed from the WH personally

If I told you, Jill Biden would kick my ass, so I'm keeping my dorito-chute shut.

I just can't see the public buying that Joe Biden refuses to debate Trump because Trump won't release his tax returns.
1) - explaining it would be stupid - just keep repeating it
2) without his tax records it’s not a level playing field

Perhaps this is the talking point “Trump is refusing to debate by hiding his tax records and not leveling the field”

Even if Trump is willing to debate who cares? This is America. Just keep repeating he isn’t.

Political ad: Trump hides in his bunker during protests. Trump hides his tax records. Trump hides from the debate stage. On November 2nd he can run but he can’t hide.

Leaked Documents Show Police Knew Far-Right Extremists Were the Real Threat at Protests, Not “Antifa”

Every single thing this article proves I've been warning my friends about for the last two years.

The comment section of that article is pretty amusing stuff.

I'm very concerned that the Dems aren't going to talk about all of his unprecedented abuses of power.

What's the deal with Michael Flynn? The whole story around him is so complicated that I don't really understand it. Was he framed? If so, on whose orders? If not, why was he let off?

You should be because they won't. The Dems want to abuse power in the exact same way. Remember when the House helped Trump renew the Patriot Act earlier this year (or was it late last year?)? Yeah, they're all big enemies until it comes to their shared interest in leveraging power against the American people. Then, they smile and clink champagne glasses.

Very few senators/congressmen on either side of the political aisle have any kind of integrity. I like Bernie Sanders, I like Tulsi Gabbard, I like Rand Paul (which doesn't mean I agree with them politically, rather I think they have more integrity than most of the others), but most of the others are just worthless.

it's really hard to differentiate between these two things

I don't know, I kind of disagree. I think the Republicans are effing useless. Trump had all these campaign promises and a Republican controlled Senate/House for the first 2 years and they got very little done (would've been a great time to secure funding for the wall if he was serious)

The Dems are very good at controlling the narrative. The Republicans are always playing catchup.

Obviously, the Dems aren't perfect, but I think they're more productive in getting legislation passed and shaping a narrative for the public.

If you think the GOP "got very little done,"
then you really aren't paying attention.
