Biden v. Trump on Twitter

By artappraiser on Sun, 11/01/2020 - 12:20am |

The issues we’re facing are far bigger than any political party.

It’s why I’ll be a president for all Americans — Democrats, Republicans, and Independents alike — because I believe we must work together if we’re going to get anything done.

That said, lest anyone get the wrong impression who Trump is courting right now, there's a lot of faces of color on the top of Trump's twitter feed right now. He's especially supporting Joe Collins III running against Maxine Waters. And this:

Joe Biden has been a disaster for African Americans and Hispanic Americans—I am fighting for citizens of every race, color and creed. We achieved record low unemployment rates. I signed landmark Criminal Justice Reform, and we will deliver School Choice! https://t.co/gsFSghkmdM pic.twitter.com/o6bZkdj4Fg

and sleepy at the same time? amazing:

Joe Biden is the candidate of rioters, looters, arsonists, gun-grabbers, flag-burners, Marxists, lobbyists, and special interests. I am the candidate of farmers, factory workers, police officers, and hard-working, law-abiding patriots of every race, religion and creed! #MAGA

We can build a future where:

- Health care is a right
- We end the gun violence epidemic
- We combat climate change
- Our government works for everyone

Vote. https://t.co/eoxT07d7QB

It’s long past time we take action to end the scourge of gun violence in America.

As president, I’ll ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, implement universal background checks, and enact other common-sense reforms to end our gun violence epidemic.

More than 230,000 Americans have died from COVID-19 –– and Donald Trump has given up on trying to get the virus under control.

He may have quit on you, but I promise I never will.
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) November 1, 2020

I believe climate change is an existential threat to humanity.

Donald Trump doesn’t even think it exists.

It’s that simple, folks.

Donald Trump claimed he would be "the greatest jobs president God ever created."

Instead, he's on track to become the worst jobs president in 100 years.
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) November 1, 2020

The Trump Administration knew how deadly this virus was back in February.

But they didn't tell you or your family. Instead, they gave a heads up to their friends on Wall Street so investors could make a profit before the recession hit.

They hid the truth. It's unforgivable.
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) November 1, 2020

Health care is deeply personal to me — like it is for so many Americans. And I promise you that as president, I will protect your family's health care as if it were my own. pic.twitter.com/v6fLWHoRC7

There is so much we can achieve as a nation with Donald Trump out of the White House.

Maggie Haberman has been noting by retweeting that Trump speaking today seems to be on a tear about celebrities, reassuring himself and the fans that he is king of celebrities, no brighter star than him, like these

After talking about LeBron James, Trump makes fun of Joe Biden's sunglasses, mocks Biden for wearing a mask with "nobody around him," says of Biden supporter Lada Gaga "I could tell you stories about Lady Gaga," then says Biden supporter Jon Bon Jovi "kisses my ass."

by PeraclesPlease on Tue, 11/03/2020 - 1:04am

I am suspecting they all know, including he who is trying to come to terms with the idea; from his last stop tonight:

Trump after watching the Biden video, contemplating defeat:

"What a disaster. I can't believe this is even happening..."

"The concept of losing to this guy! Oh, you better get out there and vote tomorrow. I will be so angry, I'll never come back to Michigan."
— Eli Stokols (@EliStokols) November 3, 2020

Not that it will all end quickly or easily, everyone's probably gonna go through a lot of strum and drang first. But there seems to be a supreme amount of confidence in all anti-Trump circles tonight.

Nate Silver now too:

I'm too tired to make this point eloquently, but part of what happens at the end of a not-especially-close election is that there's a lot of effort to create ambiguity, and you have to be pretty steadfast to see through that ambiguity.
