    Watching Presidential debates is like dealing with an argument between my sons: at some point, it doesn't matter who started it or what has been said. Both need some sense and respect driven into them from dad justice. American politics is just Grumpy Old Men 3 live and in person.

    In my mind, Trump kind of won, not because of anything he said, but because Biden did not condemn the rioting and unpeaceful protests that have taken over major democrat-run cities.

    "Stand back, stand by"

    That remark is what is going to hurt Trump the most and he did it to himself. Proud Boys have already updated their logo to include the remarks.

    Does it really tho? Anyone against Trump already thinks he's a racist klan leader.


    Aa for the debate eh whatever. Everyone knew it was gonna be a **** show. Would it have been nice for Trump to lay back and not be on full attack, probably. But idk how anyone can be surprised. That's just about every debate. It's easy to sit back and armchair qb what he should have did but the 5 mins I watched of this at the very beginning made it pretty obvious that it was gonna be 2 on 1 the entire night. So what did you expect? Debates have become nothing more than a circus act that really mean squat.

    I used to be on the debate team in High school. My winning strategy was to just give the opposition enough rope to hang themselves. Problem with this debate was both sides were fighting for the same piece of rope.

    to me the choice is obvious.. either a demented Dem who has gone far left and will be controlled by the extreme left wing of that Party and as usual, will tax us to death and shut down this country because 'his scientist' says so and will go after our precious 2A and Constitution ... or ... a Person who has been regularly attacked with lies and Hoaxes by those on the left /Dem party because he speaks his mind and one who loves this country, the military, our men in Blue, our history and what America stands for .. who will return the economic strength back to where it was prior to the Chinese attack on the world with the 'virus' .. one who decimated ISIS, and is trying to bring our men back home, one who is now up for THREE peace awards for what he has accomplished in the Mideast .... the list is long of the positives for Trump and this country ... the list is long for Biden's negatives and how the dems will destroy America ..... yep, for me its a easy choice to make ...

    That may be so but danm it! the election fraud is beyond real and half the danm country are lemmings with both eyes shut. For Cripes sake it's beem going on on a small scale for freaking years. Enough is enough with the American people sitting back and allowing theses crooks to ..to well to be frank bung hole them.

    Tell me whats so bad about the proud boys...other than their anti drug war stance? Maybe I don't watch enough news ,what violence have they been committing? Racist? Are they sayingall the black men in their group are racist ?
    I'm not understanding.
    Does that mean the Daughters of the American revolution are racist fascist as well? Because hubbies female family members for generations, didn't seem so.

    20% of the members of Proud Boys are people of color ... it is NOT a white supremacist group ....BLM/Antifa ARE domestic terror groups, Antifa has now been named a Domestic Terror group ...
