C’mon man. Basementman is a SUPERHERO. No need to prop him up PROGRAMMERS...like William...er Mike...er Chrissy Wallace.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Socialists intend to censor President Trump in future debates. So much for the 1st amendment.

According to them President Trump is a “bully” and his opponent needs to be protected from president Trump’s eclectic statements of truth, changing the subject as Joe takes cues over his coaching earpiece.

Whats next? Will they ram a large electrode up Joes a$$ to give him more juice?

President Trump conducted himself so that the coaching over Joe’s earpiece did not work. That’s why there were long lapses of silence by Joe, while the president managed to actually get out what needed to be said, so much so that Wall-rear end needed to come to Joe’s rescue repeatedly, so that Joe could receive his coaching cues over his earpiece.That’s conspiratorial.

That’s the kind of President Joe would be, always with an earpiece to take instruction while China and RUSSIA RUN RAMPANT ALL OVER HIM,causing Joe to be cornered and go to war.President Trump is right. A vote for Biden is a vote for the destruction of America.

BTW, President Trump Okayed Joe’s earpiece, and still destroyed him as a debater, used the earpiece against Joe by not allowing Joe space to use the ear piece. Brilliant~!

Since when are debaters allowed to cheat with ear pieces. Joe cheated and still looked like a total ashaole, got mad because Trump would not allow Joe space to listen to his ear
piece coach WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED before the debate started, the master behind Joe the puppet.

President Trump had three adversaries: 1) Joe Biden 2) Joe Biden’s earpiece coach, 3) Chris Wallace, and President Trump still won handily. That’s a huge accomplishment. President Trump won again even though they stacked the deck against him.

Now the Masterdebater Commission wants to stack the deck higher against president Trump.Screw those ba$tards. Let them. President Trump will still win handily.

Such coincidences in an all or nothing election year. Democrats got their failed post impeachment wish list come true. A pandemic that tanked the economy, unemployment, virtually everything Trump built. Like a miracle it all starts coming back, but ironically Trump is blamed for COVID deaths and begins tanking in the polls. RBG dies, thousands are attending Trump rallies and WHAM, Trump contracts the virus along with vital campaign and WH staff. How lucky can the Democrats get?

Eat well, take your vitamins, pray to God. Survival rates for under 70 are 99.98%, and over 70 has been 96.5%. As premier Kenney said in Alberta. The average age that was 83 of the people who died from covid. The average age of people who just die in Alberta is 82. This has been way overblown.

I am very suspicious of how many of Trump’s team have got this. It defies the odds. I hope the secret service is investigating.

Excellent post! The chances of a bunch of Republicans getting coronavirus at a time when the virus has been in decline, while the Democrats have not been getting it are infentismally small. The Amy Coney Barrett nomination event seems to have marked the start of this strange phenomina. Since President Trump has been tested every other day, along with everyone who works near him... my guess is that the Secret Service has a pretty good idea what is going on. The move to Walter Reed was more likely to have been done for security reasons than for healthcare reasons.

This method of election interference is no doubt fairly easy to accomplish with little chance of the "seeders" being detected while they are doing it. The evidence is in the results that they have acheived. My guess is that Democrat leadership is directly involved. This would be an overt act of treason.

I remember a vote not being held in the House because it had to be done in person but I have been informed that the House and Senate can change those rules. If it has to happen in person, with Republican Senators in quarantine it won’t happen because they won’t have enough votes to confirm.

I’m probably wrong but I think Barrett was the target, if it was planned. If that’s right they were infected at her nomination just prior to the debate but it backfired because she put out a statement later that she was immune since she has already had it. They are desperate to stop her confirmation. Killing the President IMO wasn’t the goal if it was intentional since so few actually die from it. Stopping Barrett was because she would have been forced into quarantine. Senators being quarantined to stop the vote is also a reason.

Like I said in another post, anybody that doesn’t think they will do ANYTHING they have to in order to stop the President and voting on Barrett hasn’t been paying attention.

Removing my tin foil now. The timing is suspicious to me though.

Three GOP senators got it. Odd.
Not all the people were near Trump among the staff who got it, were they? And where did he really get it?

Weird thought: Covid aerosal in HVAC system that sent out heavy laden droplets in the White House. Can be done but I am not really seriously suggesting that here. FBI and military have done that with forms of tear gas to get enemies to clear out of a building.

Even worse, why was there even a MEDIA ROOM set up in another area (and those pics have been scrubbed from debate.org's social media accounts)

Hesitant to state the obvious, but many Republicans (for whatever bizarre reason) don’t practice social distancing or believe that masks work.

I don’t have the time or desire to debate the point, but the evidence is overwhelming that masks DO indeed work to reduce spread. (If nothing else, they reduce the amount of virus that gets exhaled into an environment by a symptomatic or asymptomatic person. Reduce the virus in the environment, and reduce the cases of contagion..)

Social distancing also contributes to reducing spread.

Put people shoulder to shoulder at an event (like the Rose Garden announcement for Amy preceded and followed by indoor socializing), with most in attendance mostly not wearing masks, and the virus is going to spread.

It’s really not all that complicated, although I know many Freepers will disagree.

In general, Democrat politicians are acting more concerned about the virus. Even if you think it’s just for the cameras, it’s probably true that they socially distance and wear masks more than the Republicans (at least when meeting together) which likely explains why they haven’t had a mass spreading event like the recent Barrett nomination.

The White House is engaged in contact tracing to find out who brought the virus in. My thinking is they infected the Amy Coney Barrett nomination ceremony. Then, they blamed it on the lax mask wearing behavior. This infection was able to elude the testing procedure which was supposed to give them confidence they were not infected. The idea was if you are not infected, there was no reason to prevent the infection of others by wearing a mask. The Dems short-circuited that protection by seeding the virus on things they could touch and then smear on their face (especially by rubbing their eyes).

Now with things increasingly dumbed down by TV and social media and freepers in particular become more and more distilled down into their most basic knuckle dragging elements with each passing year, where the only media they consume is breitbart.com, yeah it's surprising to see it at all but particularly on freep.

But as the other poster mentioned, that poster is expressing the NON CHUD point of view in that post.

Don't do it. Take it from someone who Freeped themself into a complete emotional breakdown, you have to pace yourself.

Huh. Never encountered it in a non-German language context. Learn something every day, I guess.

Yeah, American English uses a large amount of loan words more or less unchanged, especially German/French ones.

O word. I know. I’m an American linguist. I’ve just never heard that specific word outside of German where it just means “world view”.

Yeah, I'm very familiar with zeitgeist, but I've never heard weltanschaunng outside of the classroom. "World view" is really easy to say compared to "spirit of the times."

I believe zeitgeist means Time Ghost

What does the Time Ghost want? We may never know.

That’d be the word for word translation but as said up-thread “spirit of the time” is more accurate but less funny. Like how literally “refrigerator” is “cold closet” haha but seriously it just means fridge.

I grew up speaking english and french and I'm here to rant!: ghost and spirit are just germanic and french versions of the same drat thing. It's an intellectual concept so we default to "spirit of the times" instead of "time ghost" even though "time ghost" is a perfectly fine way of saying it if old stuffy people hadn't chosen the translation. French words are culturally considered higher register and elaborate, so spirit gets to be in the sophisticated uses and ghosts get to be the spooky sheet men who go "boo"

Yeah. The Norman Conquest was a hell of a drug.
