Trump really didn’t help NC when he was president.

He threw rolls of paper towels to people who’d lost their homes in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria.  If that’s not the definition of helping, I’m not sure what is.  He said the people he was throwing them to were “having fun”.  I think what a lot of people never realize is how catching a roll of paper towels can turn an “I’ve lost everything” moment into a “God I’m so lucky to be here” milestone.

Matthew hit in October of 2016. So Congress didn’t allocate him money 6 months later and that’s Trump’s fault?

Can we all agree this guy fucking sucks

I can't see the pic so which guy? Because, besides Massie, they all suck.

Sigh. Nevermind. I tried to copy and paste and that didn’t work. Whenever I try to upload a picture it won’t work. 

I mean, regardless of who the picture is of, with this being a political thread, it's about a 100% chance that person does suck.

The politicians on site are campaigning. Those in their offices are working. Hope this helps.

The ones in their offices haven't done jack shit for 4 years, except destroy just about everything. 

Best

oh my, how did we ever survive?

Speaking of which, I can't be the only person who is starting to wish someone would set both Sherrod Brown and Bernie Moreno on fire simply because it's impossible to watch TV for more than 13 minutes without seeing 4954 commercials of them verbally slap-fighting each other. Well, them and the fucking losers whose employment is playing roles like "concerned sounding old dude narrating political commercials".

Burn them all. Every damn election cycle gets more insufferable than the previous.

That’s who my attempted picture was - some old guy in (I think) a Moreno commercial talking about Sherrod Brown’s policies on transgenders.

I can’t believe there’s this many ads and this much money spent on them. How many people could possibly be undecided on who they’re voting for, and a TV commercial could sway them?

Yes lol!

And it's not just tv, all over YouTube as well.

I feel the same about yard signs.  Who finds themself driving down the street undecided, but then sees a so-and-so for president sign and thinks, “That settles it then.”

I think yard signs are more about advertising what team you’re on.

The answer to the question no one asked. 

My favorite sign 

Trump

20-24

Months

VP debate coming up. Why is Walz so flamboyant? Odd

Chug a beer for each time they ding each other!

I'm going to try to watch, but I'm at work so good luck to me lol

Well fuck it. Walz already dodged the question and went right into attack Trump mode lol

This is going to get stupid real fast *sigh*

Vance dodging too and tells a mini bio

In my opinion, Vance is a better communicator than Trump.

Likewise, Walz is a better communicator than Kamala.

Despite these two guys debating the presidential candidates instead of each other, I'm liking their arguments because they are articulating a broad range of topics clearly and concisely.

10 minutes in. Not surprisingly Walz is way smarter than Kamala. Forcing a woman just to do it is a joke. 

I'm surprised that CBS boxed Walz about his China visits. His answers were bad. Real bad. 

That's the first time that the media drilled a hole into a Dem candidate this whole election season. Credit where due!
