Democrats heavily favored to ship the all 3 branches right now. A week or so before the elction I'm going to wager a irresponsible amount of money that they don't.

It is just 40 unedited seconds of Fox News teasing Chris Wallace's interview with Don this weekend.
I saw it retweeted on Rex Chapman's feed didn't even notice it was posted by Lincoln project.
I’ll click your links but I Xd out as soon as I saw lincoln project . Might as well post Kyle Griffin tweets
I don't think you know how math works. There are 3300 robberies on average a day in the US. Florida is averaging around 10k of Covid a day right now. How is it more likely you will be robbed then get Covid?
Try again?3300 * 1% = 33
All the forces of evil are coalescing to try to take Donald down. It’s never been more important to be a digital soldierHave noticed like Drudge, Fox seems to be taking shots at Don more lately. Not to the extent of Drudge but still shots.
Sounding pretty cultish.All the forces of evil are coalescing to try to take Donald down. It’s never been more important to be a digital soldier
Ha. Got your #’s backward. 100 possibly deadly cases a day. Opie is probably still safer at a Florida Tiki Bar based on his demographic than trying to ask for directions to his polling location in urban Chicago.Try again?
It’s Fox News, clearly anything Fox is appreciated in this threadPlease don’t link lincoln project crap in this thread
Why would he be asking for a polling place in Chicago? That's not where he lives. It's been made clear that going to a big city is too terrifying a prospect to ever contemplate. Those places are hell holes!Ha. Got your #’s backward. 100 possibly deadly cases a day. Opie is probably still safer at a Florida Tiki Bar based on his demographic than trying to ask for directions to his polling location in urban Chicago.
True or not true calling others here sheep or the POTUS a moron don’t really fly. I’m not reporting you, as reporting isn’t my thing. But typically either one of those things will get you a vacation.Vacation? For speaking truth? Oh I see, just like Trump, if I say something he wouldn't like, I'm out. LoL!
ThisAre people really actually going to vote for Trump? If so, why?!
My issue with the phrase "it's a Chinese Virus" and the defense of it that it somehow merely accurately describes a virus is that it flies in the face of general grammatic principles. While I recognize that Trump in his tweets will capitalize words to add stress to them and otherwise ignore that it isn't proper grammar and, as such, maybe those rules just don't apply anymore, when one double capitalizes "Chinese Virus" it forms it into a title. In doing so it's not longer descriptive. Furthermore, the proper article in the sentence before the title should be "the" and not "a" since the double capitilization has taken it from a descriptive phrase to a title.The General said:Personally I didn’t have issue when people called it the Wuhan. I changed my mind when Asian people I work with told me they started having people they knew getting yelled at to leave the country and the like.
Seemed liked the least I could do was call it something else if that helped.
Wallace isn't. The opinion side of FoxNews will let anything slide. The News division has been pretty straightforward in their coverage for a while.This is the real reason he has talked crap about Fox lately. They aren’t allowing all of his lies to go unchecked.
Wat?? He owned Wallace, you see how he proved him wrong on the deaths?? Fake news and showed him that Fox is no longer worth watching and that Wallace is nice to the Libs. True Alpha behavior shown during that interview, minus the sweating of course...Rough interview for Trump with Chris Wallace.
Wallace has always been a pro.Wallace isn't. The opinion side of FoxNews will let anything slide. The News division has been pretty straightforward in their coverage for a while.
Man, you've come a long way, Woz.My issue with the phrase "it's a Chinese Virus" and the defense of it that it somehow merely accurately descriptive of a virus is that it flies in the face of general grammatic principles. While I recognize that Trump in his tweets will capitalize words to add stress to them and otherwise ignore that it isn't proper grammar and, as such, maybe those rules just don't apply anymore, when one double capitalizes "Chinese Virus" it forms it into a title. In doing so it's not longer descriptive. Furthermore, the proper article in the sentence before the title should be "the" and not "a" since the double capitilization has taken it from a descriptive phrase to a title.
For example, phrases "Asian food" or "German beer" are properly descriptive and I can't see any issues with them. I also didn't initially see any issue with the early use of "Wuhan coronavirus" since it's probably not uncommon from such titles to be given placed on the place where the virus was first documented. But, as explained ad nauseam, the title "Covid-19" was assigned pretty early on, it's commonly accepted, and, as such, I think one can reasonably deduce that the use of another word to refer to "Covid-19" is intentional.
Trump's "Chinese Virus" (and its use by others) it two-fold problematic. One, it's grammatically a title and therefore not a mere descriptor, and two it's use is blatantly intentional since there were other commonly accepted names. I think the only reasonable deduction when hearing someone (e.g. Trump) use the phrase is that it's being used to be intentionally inflammatory.
Finally, as others have pointed out, it just seems so silly to me when there other very viable and usable terms for things to just just use them when an immutable group of people says, "hey, can you not use that term?" It's like calling a guy named Joseph "Joey" after being asked not to. Yeah, arguably there isn't something wrong with "Joey" and we'll even assume arguendo that Joseph is being a bit sensitive, but so what? How ####### hard is it to just use Joseph. Similarly, even assuming there's no ill intent in the use of "Chinese Virus," how ####### hard is it to just use "coronavirus" or "covid-19" or "this annoying virus that has shut down my favorite restaurant" or whatever.
In the words of Melania (possible stolen from Michele Obama), "be best!"Man, you've come a long way, Woz.
I just think we as a group of FBGs are above using incendiary language to describe an awful pandemic. We can be better.
Any particular examples?The in here is next level hilarious with the years of childish attacks against our President and stooping to levels I’ve never seen adults yet all of the sudden they are above referring to a virus from China as the China virus. Only in here, this is rich.
And, those attacks on Mr. Trump were asked to stop here or offenders were and will continue to be punished.The in here is next level hilarious with the years of childish attacks against our President and stooping to levels I’ve never seen adults yet all of the sudden they are above referring to a virus from China as the China virus.

Sorry, the bolded is a clear falsehood and just not reality.And, those attacks on Mr. Trump were asked to stop here or offenders were and will continue to be punished.
This isn't hard.
There’s 48 pages full of it, feel free to spend your Sunday reviewing it all of you want but I’ll pass.Any particular examples?
I haven’t watched the whole interview yet. How did Trump prove Wallace wrong on the deaths?Wat?? He owned Wallace, you see how he proved him wrong on the deaths??

Disagree. Timeouts are being given for insulting Mr. Trump.Sorry, the bolded is a clear falsehood and just not reality.
The problem isn’t people on a board, it’s the president. His twitter feed, the way he says he communicates with the country, is far more ridiculous than the stuff posted in here.The in here is next level hilarious with the years of childish attacks against our President and stooping to levels I’ve never seen adults yet all of the sudden they are above referring to a virus from China as the China virus.

If the President is the problem then I wouldn’t emulate the same behavior on a football message board in response to him. That doesn’t solve anything and puts those acting childish in the same level. Just a friendly suggestion, don’t expect it to end the hypocrisy though. Everyone is too far down that road.The problem isn’t people on a board, it’s the president.

This Chinese virus stuff is so transparent. It really is pathetic.
I think he was kidding.I haven’t watched the whole interview yet. How did Trump prove Wallace wrong on the deaths?
I did see the clip where Trump said the last five questions on his cognitive test (which he got all right) were really hard and that there was no way that Wallace would be able to answer them correctly.
