President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

It would help if he would use the quote function, especially in situations like that, but Octave is nothing if not a stubborn creature of habit.

 

Would be good for Democrats. But 1. it's a rerun, and 2. 2020 was SO far beyond what had been the norm for turnout the past 50 years (and was the highest since the late 19th century). . .

 

But it's the BIDEN CRIME FAMILY...

From CNN's Live Updates:

Louis Solomon, a lawyer for the New York attorney general, showed emails during questioning of Ivanka Trump where she proposed lowering the required net worth for her father under a loan agreement with Deutsche Bank.

The final agreement for the Deutsche Bank loan required Donald Trump, as the guarantor, to maintain a minimum net worth of $2.5 billion.

One earlier draft of the loan terms proposed by the bank required Trump maintain a $3 billion net worth. Ivanka Trump proposed a change to lower the net worth requirement to $2 billion, in an email Solomon showed in court.

At the time, Trump's net worth on his statement of his financial condition in 2011 was $4.2 billion.

The loan terms are significant because the attorney general alleges that Trump’s falsified financial statements allowed him to obtain better loan rates – an expert witness for the attorney general testified earlier in the trial Trump’s “ill-gotten gains” from the fraud totaled $168 million.

Trump was able to get better terms for the Doral property with Deutsche Bank’s loan secured by Trump’s financial statements because he personally guaranteed the loans with the private wealth management group, which offered the option for a high net worth individual to back the loan.

Trump Org. was offered different terms through Deutsche Bank's commercial real estate arm for the same property.

 

BUT THE LAPTOP!!!

 

So y’all have learned enough to ignore Alma’s bullshit, but not yet RTExpress. Baby steps, I suppose.

 

Predicting turnout a year in advance is a fool's errand.

So I'll be happy to do it by noting: 1). The guy who sparked the big turnout is on the ballot again and 2). Dobbs. And I'm not talking about Joshua.

 

This far before the 2016 election Ben Carson led in the polls.

 

Cue the Sad Trombone.

 

How many votes will Trump lose from among the 2020 voters, post 1/6 and four indictments? Hell, how many of Trump's voters will have died in four years?

 

It is hard to imagine voters who went for Biden in '20 and are now solid for Trump - but I am CERTAIN cable news will find these people!!

 

What’s the right way to cover the election? Silence until liberal Baby Boomers feel it’s appropriate to focus on it? Universally positive coverage of Biden because he’s not Trump?
