The Unknown Poster

Im sure Trump was very proud of himself for being physically able to walk across the street and back. Last time he went there he took a motorcade.

Lol you’re wrong. But sure whatever.

It’s good news if it helps push bush to a Biden endorsement.

I’m encouraged by people putting politics aside in a real effort to save the republic. Because that’s what this election is.

I’m beginning to think Zuck might be a white nationalist.

I’d love to see Bush endorse Biden. Trumps head would explode.

This unidentifiable military “department of justice” force will be everywhere if the orange goblin wins.

I think this is really a great idea.

Trump is a bully who threatens lawsuits but never follows through because he cant handle a deposition. I think he'd take the election to SCOTUS because he wouldnt have to say anything. And he desperately needs to avoid being a citizen again because he and perhaps his family are going to be inundated with criminal investigations. And I think a lot of the GOP cant stand him. They just love power more than they hate trump. If Trump loses, they will be rats off the sinking ship and he'll be alone in the wilderness. Especially if its a big loss. GOP will see the way the wind is blowing and running harder to the left and becoming the part of racists will guarantee the end of the party. Plus, Trump likely forms his own party anyway. GOP will have to move to the centre to have a hope, especially if they see the future of the Dems as a further left-leaning party. The battle for power will be in the middle.

I like good wrestling as a needed distraction at times. For older fans that remember Tully or new fans that dont know why he was so great, here's one reason. Great promo! Really shows the difference between a lot of the older guys who learned to cut promos vs the newer way of scripted promo. Tully is the man!

Really, FOX NEWS should have their license pulled since they had admitted they are "entertainment" and not news. Maybe the next admin.

How about "Fall of the American Empire"

I do wonder if, as this continues, we will see authority groups (law enforcement, military) begin to openly question the orders from the White House. If States refuse to allow federal military to act against citizens and Trump tries to order them in, I suspect a lot of hand-wringing by some senior officers.

Oh, its going to be iconic alright. It will be iconic 100 years from now too. The night the President ordered his own people attacked by federal officers because his ego was bruised.

It really is sickening to see how much support Trump has. But a few things we know are fact. Trump lost the popular vote by quite a lot. He was polling (yeah I know) to lose the election all the way through. He would have lost even with Russian interference. And when the Grab 'em tape came out, he was finished (the only time Trump ever made a statement of apology and looked like a very very defeated man, begging for a second chance). We know the Comey boner sunk Hilary (not debating that many didnt like Hilary, she was going to win) which was forced by NY FBI loyal to Rudy G. And knowing all that, that was Trump who was seen as a blustery, arrogant, celebrity. But also seen by many as a brilliant businessman (which he know is not true) and outsider who would drain the swamp (also not true) and a man of the people and not an elitist (very not true). There were many people willing to give him a chance vs Hilary who represented a political dynasty. What's changed this time is we know what Trump is. Im not sure he has done anything to generate NEW support. He had the evangelicals last time (and surely at least *some* of them now know the truth and may not vote or all if they wont vote for a Dem). He had the white nationals and racists. Are there MORE racists this time that will increase his base? Maybe. But I dont think largely. The GOP has always known that if everyone who wants to vote CAN vote, if they make voting easier, if they encourage MORE people to vote, that they lose. Every single time. The potential gains are much much larger on the Democrat side. So what can we predict? We can predict that barring something wild, Biden easily beats Trump. But what can happen to change that? A major health issue for Biden, even better cheating by Trump, voter intimidation, voter suppression, manufactured scandal (and there WILL be October surprises). Let's assume for a moment all goes right and Biden wins. What happens next depends on how much he wins by. A narrow victory (possible knowing Trump will cheat and suppress as much as possible) and Trump will question the results potentially leading to a constitutional crises (the plan would likely be to contest key districts and take it to SCOTUS where he likely loses based on the Chief Justice being a moderate but who knows and if RBG dies before then, SCOTUS will hand Trump his dictatorship). If Trump accepts the loss (or has no choice but to), what does he do between Election Day and Inauguration Day. That will be scary. My fear is two-fold. The protests and riots we're seeing now will look like a picnic compared to what will happen on election day. And what will happen between election day and inauguration day. Trump might like that. If he wins and its due to cheating, people WILL take to the streets. Allowing Trump to "dominate" them, declare martial law, find some 200 year old laws to provide himself with absolute power and we have a Fourth Reich. If he loses I could see him calling upon his supporters to not accept the results and not allow the election to be "stolen". What happens when Trump motivates tens of millions of racist gun nuts to seize power on his behalf? Assuming he loses and assuming law enforcement and military abide their oaths and take orders from Biden, order will eventually be restored but at what cost. What happens if a couple of Trump loving states throw their support behind him? Is there a legitimate potential for a civil war? For a separation of the union? Scary times ahead folks.

Yeah its tough. But I think there will be a very strong desire to find a middle ground between zero fans and 30,000 fans. The flip side might be, especially using two hub cities and a short season, to be very careful during the season games, have no fans and then hope you can have fans for the Grey Cup game. If you're using two hub cities, thats multiple games were week in one city so many games. Even if they allowed 5000 fans per game, it would be a lot more overall. But then you risk out of towners as well. The worst case scenario would be reduced fans and COVID ramps back up and leads to infection among a team(s) and you end up playing most of the season but have to shut down before Grey Cup. So I imagine they will be careful. They'll get money from the feds and the TV contract and make it through.
