Let this sink in:

 

This is the first time in history that not ONE former president is endorsing an incumbent running for re-election.

 

Think about that.

LOL.  You guys pick the one lie out of the seventeen I posted that could be debated inconclusively forever.  In any case, the point of my post was that CNN and Brian Stelter want to fact-check the RNC in real time, breaking away whenever they do so, which is utter hypocrisy on display as CNN and Stelter would dare not fact-check the DNC for lies.  Balanced journalism?  LMAO.

 

Of course none of you Trump-haters would actually speak to my point.  You simply deflect with an attempt to refute that their lies are lies by picking the one lie that has the most grey area.  It really does get boring.

And Trump's numbers got a big boost from a tax cut that resulted in no permanent benefit to the economy. Unless you define the economy as the top 10%.

LOL, Jimmy Carter is 95 years old, a Democrat, and supports Biden.  Natch.  Of the remaining living Presidents there are only Clinton, Bush and Obama.  Clinton and Obama are Dems and staunch foes of Trump for obvious reasons.  I doubt Bush has any love for Trump and if it were me I'd rather not have his endorsement.  So there's a first time for everything.  Is that supposed to be bad?  LOL  A completely meaningless bit of trivia.  Let that sink in.

No big deal.  How "prominent" can they be if they are all "former" lawmakers?  It's been well known that numbers of Republicans never endorsed Trump.  So what?  Former Democratic New Jersey Rep. Jeff Van Drew changed parties on Jan. 7th this year over Trump's impeachment.  Me thinks this article is attempting to take a nothing burger and create a something burger out of it.

We'll see once the votes are counted.

If the votes ever do get counted.  LOL  I expect maximum mischief out of the Dems as they many of them are literally fighting for their lives.  You think things are insane now?  Just wait.

In the real world Biden couldn't win second prize in a schmuck of the year contest.  But he is up against the moronic Trump so a win is pretty much guaranteed.  The Trump apologists will desperately keep trying to excuse the orange buffoon but in their heart they must know he is dead in the water.

I pointed out that you are posting inaccurate information.

About your more general claim:

Due to the proven record of Trump's lies, there's surely much more to check during the RNC

 

And actually, CNN did check for DNC lies. Another unsubstantiated claim.

This doesn't compare to the many, many Trump lies and failures.  Speaking of failures--most recent anyways--Trump's trade war has been a complete disaster for American businesses. 

 

[While Trump has repeatedly said that trade wars are “easy to win,” he has so far failed to get the Chinese to yield after nearly three years and is now trying to reach out directly to American businesses.]

 

[Industry analysts say President Donald Trump's trade policies to date have backfired, sending auto jobs to China instead of saving them for Americans.]

 

[At the same time, duties on Chinese-made auto goods have increased production costs for U.S. car buyers.]

First off, it was 2. Your so called proof that Biden was lax in his response to H1N1  actually showed the opposite. He was extremely pro-active. Thanks for providing that information.

And while it's easy to make dishonest or misleading assertions, it takes a lot more work and time to show them up for what they really are. Not incumbent upon me or anyone else to do so. I've shown how you operate. That's enough for me.

Lovely headline:

 

Trump sets convention tone by claiming without evidence Democrats will steal election

Whenever the MSM tries to refute the massive potential existing for mail-in voter fraud due to mass mailings when Trump raises it it is always with the line *without evidence.*   Here the headline goes so far to infer that Trump is saying the Dems "will steal election," although in their piece they bring it back to reality and say, "will seek to steal the election."  But hey, you might fool some people with that erroneous headline.  In fact, it's already worked as I just read a post above that repeats the "will steal" wording.

 

I want to make note, too, that mass mailings of ballots to every person on the voter rolls, living, dead or non-existent, has never been done before.  So how can you even make the claim "without evidence?"  On the other hand there have already been some other elections which have devolved into mayhem due to using mass mailings (Trump has mentioned some of these several times) so perhaps evidence has presented itself already.

"I want to make note, too, that mass mailings of ballots to every person on the voter rolls, living, dead or non-existent, has never been done before.  So how can you even make the claim "without evidence?""

 

Easy; that is not evidence.

Not fair.

 

Are you saying that is every promise Trump made?

 

BTW:  coming up with bills and programs that don't become law is nothing to brag about.

Tech stocks that have benefited from the pandemic are skewing the result:

 

"But what’s most striking is what’s been happening more recently – since June, while the biggest stocks have been pulling the S&P towards record highs from February, the S&P minus those ten names is still lower than it was just two months ago. "  https://www.thestreet.com/trends/news/heres-what-the-s-p-500-looks-like-in-2020-without-big-tech

 

It's also worth remembering that the stock market doesn't have much competition for investment dollars.  With interest rates near zero there isn't a viable alternative for many investors to the market.

His campaign repeatedly shows videos of the current sh!tshow threatening that if people vote for Biden, this is what they will suffer. His supporters don't have the proper number of available brain cells to realize 45 is showing what HE has already done. SMH!!!
