There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.

before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Rudy is ready for it, too: he started tweeting about that hard drive just over ten minutes ago, claiming it's all been verified by the police and FBI.
So, clearly they're desperate to make that a thing tonight.
If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.First question: how will he handle the next stage of the coronovirus.
Trump hasn't answered the questioned. He's just saying it's going away, he's immune, and he's providing all the necessary equipment.
Biden is saying anyone responsible for this many deaths shouldn't stay president. He's stating what the president could have done and how many lives those tactics would take. He's stating he'd set up plans and standards for businesses and schools to open and increase testing and tracing.
Host: follow-up for Trump: is the promised vaccine a guarantee (no, but by the end of the year). She's quoting the scientists estimates for next year, Trump is saying he's more accurate because he trusts the military.
What would Biden do to improve: Biden's talking about transparency and the importance of having a plan. They're going to have a 'dark winter'.
Trump is rebutting that and complaining that Biden called him xenophobic didn't react as fast as him, and is back to complaining about the swine flu. He's also claiming that everything Biden wants to do, Trump's already done.
Biden confirms he believes Trump is xenophobic and is explaining what they should have done to check up in China back in January.
Trump is back to claiming Biden's just hiding in a basement. 99% of people recover!
Biden asked for a response: he's been given 30 seconds: 'people aren't learning to live with it. people are learning to die with it.'

If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.ABC in their pre-debate but said that Biden is going to try and be nicer to Trump during this debate, apparently they’ve found Biden supporters who were very upset with Biden for telling Trump to shut up last debate.
Trump has also now moved back on his claim that there will be a vaccine out in weeks, saying he gives no guarantee.
“And the Bunny nails it!” ~ Gabrael “If the UN can get through a day without everyone strangling everyone else so can we.” ~ CyranAnd Trump is bring up Swine Flue the same way Pence did.
Edit: Biden on Trump’s China ban, he said that Trump is xenophobic but that it’s for other stuff than banning travel from China.

Looks like somebody might need that mute button handy
