Reverse this and think if Trump said that.  Media heads would explode

You are right about this, that is for sure. But Joe wasn't wrong.

Well, it is obviously a subjective term/scale, but we have nearly 3 million in jail, so now we only need 27 million crappy people that aren't in jail, or less than 1 in 10.

It might not be far off if you include amoral indifference (ala Seinfeld) in the mix.  We see a lot of viral videos where people's first instict is to record something awful (as opposed to calling the cops), much less get directly involved to stop it.

Which, to be honest, is probably a bit low.

Ha my first thought was 10-15% seems low. As a candidate probably shouldn’t have said it but not like it is going to hurt him.

Yeah, as long as he doesn't go to Hillary-stupid levels and be like those 10-15% are centered in Trump's core base like she did with her "deplorables" dumbassery. Leave it open-ended and the average person will look at it through their personal beliefs/prejudices and be like, "Yeah, there are a lot of people who suck."

Holy fucking cringe, Batman.

1. He is definitely a troll. 
2. This video is hilarious, mainly because there is some truth behind it. 

Twitter has flagged it as “manipulated media” because everything is stupid. 

Trying to decide who's dumber: people going to a Trump rally during Covid-19, or the people going to protest.

So are sporting events, parks, swimming pools, marathons etc......  and the government still has those closed down.

Saw where his committee was hacked and the million requests were fake.  Our politics and elections are going to be screwed up by domestics tech terrorists and foreign countries forever.  

Trump's rally was as bad as the polls that show Biden winning by 10 points.

And they want to have a presidential election with mail in ballots?

I'm still SMFH over the whole Rosemont Seneca Capital deal.  The way the left's heads exploded over Russia Collusion, which has proven to be bullshit, and not a peep about China giving $1.5B to the sons of the Sec State and VP.  Just to clarify that, we're talking $20-$30M in management fees PER YEAR.  "C'mon, man, China isn't a threat"....

I've said it before - that is 100% "pay for play".  You can't raise a PE fund with no track record, and $1.5B is an entirely other ball game vs. even those with the chops to raise $200M.  And another huge red flag is they don't appear to have had anywhere near the staff to put that kind of money to work.

Absolutely quid pro quo.  It was a handout.  China has over $1T in treasuries, so funneling $1.5B to Biden's son is a rounding error.  Mind boggling.  I mean, Mitt Romney "invented" outsourcing, but this gets no coverage.

Also, Kerry's son certainly didn't need the money.  I'm guessing he figures in because of the private family office (Heinz) as a way to "launder" the funds and hide the activities.  He did, apparently, break ties after Hunter Biden and the other partner took the handout from Burisma.
