Nikki, my condolences. Your story is heartbreaking. Gut wrenching. I think your father would understand that there would be only the closest. I don’t know what faith you are, but in orthodoxy you give respect to dead person later after his death too (6 months, a year). Maybe if things are better you could organise smith later? Again so sorry for your loss, may he rip!

Exactly. At some point criticism of Islam became conflated with prejudice against Muslims, and they're not the same.
Like any religion, it should be freely scrutinized, criticized, and yes, satirized and mocked in a FREE SOCIETY.
Not sure why we're allowed to do this with Christianity but it's Islamophobic and discriminatory to do with Islam.
Exactly! Islam should not be excluded from being mocked. In many ways today it is much more the religion that should be mocked in a secular society. Especially after this. If the Muslims are feeling insulted by mere caricatures, they should go where Islam is more then just religion, but law of the land. There are many such countries. Muslims have to adapt to living in a secular society, not the secular society to crush its principles (freedom of speech). How much until they claim their religion dictates them to throw gays off tall buildings? This is not islamophobic. I have friends, very close friends who are Muslims, but in reality it’s high time Europe deals with that kind of Islam. And it has become mainstream...

Sorry, but we have to call the reason for it: islam. Its a dangerous religion and very different to christianity. I m not for banning it completely, but those radicals have to be locked up and their mosques closed down. In Europe there should remain only the liberal islam who is accepting of LGBTQ, other faiths etc. (there is such mosque in Berlin). Islam shouldn't exist as an opposition to Europe. Within Europe, it should integrate, not the other way around. I stand by Macron 100 percent.

CNN are the last great channel still standing. And MSNBC. Fox should be forbidden for spewing sick propaganda.

It’s horrible in Bulgaria, almost 3000 cases daily. We never had as much. It’s shocking. A lot of the people tested turn out positive, like 25 percent. Scary times

Well she is a fucking stupid bitch. She has been living in
for decades but judging from her accent one would assume it has been days. Plus her friend recorded her privately and it seems she believes the bullshit Trump feeds her. She is perfect for him!

Joe Biden called Donald Trump....George
His wife corrected him. At 78 YES he is too old to run a country in my eyes so is Donald. I know we have nobody else but c’mon even Madonna calls him sleepy Joe. A man in his 80’s will not be fit for that type of job or atleast do it decently.
So? Donald is George x 4. And we know Joe is ancient, but where does this lead to??? DUMB???? Fuck no.

I am SO over this "Biden is too old/slow/weak" perspective. You're telling me that a morbidly obese, 70+ year old, on plenty of medication, whose sociopathic personality, death cult mentality, and anti-science arrogance got his own ass infected with Covid - and has left the rest of us for dead from day one - is still a better look than Biden? GTFO.
And the only reason why he's probably still going right now is because they're pumping him full of experimental drugs and steroids.
Preach sister! Not to mention Dumb is mere 3 years younger and even after 70, 3 years are nothing. Practically they are the same age. Its just a lame excuse for some to justify voting for evil.

They are right and Trump is leading in Ohio and Florida, so it's more likely than not that he will win another 4 years. Popular vote doesn't matter in the US.
I know, but even if Biden looses Ohio and Florida, according to the polls he will win Arizona, Pennsylvania and Michigan where Biden has comfortable lead and he will be elected president. Not to mention he has real chance in Georgia and other southern states too (leads currently). In reality, if polls are right, Biden should win the most battleground states. Unfortunately the polls said the same thing in 2016, but Hillary led in less states. But she lost most states she had a small lead in. She lost Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan etc. I think unfortunately Trump has many shy supporters who are probably not declaring they would vote for him and in this way he could still win. It wouldn’t shock me if the polls are wrong and they could be for this reason.

Didn't Hillary get more votes overall last time but the way the US systems works meant Trump won?
Yes, plus 2 mill more, but in us system the states, not the people directly, choose the president. She had to win more states to be elected as each state is awarded a number of electors. This basically means the voice in California doesn’t have as much power as the one in Florida.

This is interesting. Although I keep seeing Biden is ahead in the polls, that can mean nothing. In the UK, we had something called 'shy tories' where people wouldn't say they supported the Conservatives. Labour were expected to win but didn't. I imagine, many Trump voters won't say who they're voting for. This is something that was in the Popbitch mailout.
There's an eerily familiar tone creeping in with pundits talking about Biden's chances in the upcoming election. While Biden has maintained a consistent polling lead and continues to be the betting markets' favourite, Trump is overperforming on one notable metric.
So, just to stop anyone from getting too comfortable:
2016 US Election – Clinton was polling and betting markets' favourite, but 68% of money bet on the outcome went on Trump. Trump won.
2016 Brexit Ref – Remain was polling and betting markets' favourite, but 75% money bet on the outcome went on Leave. Leave won.
2020 US Election – Biden is polling and betting markets' favourite, but the percentage of money bet on the outcome for Trump so far? Currently close to 80%.SCARY. Hope this time the polls ARE RIGHT.

Too bad he cant run again....

the new "emails"... Obviously they wanna recreate 2016.

So we have another "emails" suppostedly written by the son of Biden to some Chinease buisnessman... The right (Fox) try to make it centralpiece of the last days. Gulianni supostedly took them from the Russians. 2016 much? Hopefully Dumb doesnt outdumb the Americans AGAIN...

Although Romney may have a SHRED of decency left in him, I have no respect for him or his party. They all allowed this to happen. They are just as guilty as their voters.
It’s probably his way to suck up to Biden, fearing Dumb is loosing. To save face for afterwards. Hopefully his fear materializes.

OK it seems SKYNEWS are owned by Foxnews....
-
This AUS TV show raises some interesting points THAT really scared me. Like the fact that there are many voters who just registered in swing states and republicans are 3:1 to democrats!!! Scary. Dumb may have it in the bag. Also maybe ALOT of ppl are ashamed to say they are voting for him! SO everyone AND their mother HAS to go out and vote for Biden otherwise the USA as we have known it for 70ty years would stop to exist. Also Dumb would to everything to crush EU it seems. Scary.

I mean, if he was feeling so good, why back out of the second debate...?
Cause the first one went horribly for his campaign. I wouldn't be surprise if COVID was celebrated as a way out of the debate in his campaign.

Yes. Unfortunately. The election is not based on total number of votes.
Example:
Total Population 3m
Poll shows 2m of ppl supports Biden (66%) whereas 1m supports Dumspter (33%)
State 1 - population 2m - Biden won
State 2 - population 0.3m - Dumspter won
State 3 - population 0.7m - Dumspter won
Biden won 1 state
Dumspter won 2 states
Next President: Dumspter
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Not exactly right, but close. There are number of electors assigned to a concrete state "depending on its population". You vote for Dumb or Biden, but actually choose the electors who then go to the College of electors and vote Biden/Dumb.

He is so vile my God! The prissy Democrats unsure whether they should even vote need to suck it up and get off their asses to vote Biden!
Its absolutely disgusting that there are ppl who wont vote Biden. He is NOT inspiring, but damn he is NOT Trump and that should be enough to get him elected as the next president with HUGE lead.

I am not so sure Trump getting COVID-19 helps his re-election. I mean, we'll see what polls say (not that I trust them as much since 2016), but based on what people know about the precautions you should take and the fact that Trump has flouted them - and his entire inner circle is now exposed - I don't think it's going to play well. His base is a lost cause, but independents won't feel sorry for him.
Hopefully you are right. The fact that he didn’t care or even mocked masks wearing ppl should not benefited him in any case but I would not take it for granted with us redneck states. They did elect him the first time.

We will, but Trump has impacted negatively EU too. He has emboldened HU and PL in their quest for conservatism and taking away rights and infringing the courts independence. In other parts of Europe/Asia he has emboldened the likes of Putin and Erdogan. Most Europeans would gladly see him gone.
