You're not that slick. You like to use the word paper to get visual of actual paper, like writing paper because you want people to believe masks don't work and they're silly. You link to Office Depot where none of the titles of the products call them paper masks. Make a t-shirt out of writing paper and go out in the rain, then wear a regular one out of cloth. See if you can figure out the difference.

Since we’re quoting the Midas (sp?) left tweet

Something more neutral; less agenda-driven.

Please @JB Lions; Appreciate Fox. Thanks! Every now and then you use them; thank you

Toss Up/Battleground States

These are the states that will decide it. All the other states are firmly Trump or Biden

12 states

Biden is winning 9 of those states right now, Trump 3

Biden needs 48 votes from this list:

Pennsylvania (20) - Biden +3.9
New Hampshire (4) - Biden +5.5
Florida (29) - Biden +1.6
Wisconsin (10) - Biden +6.6
Nevada (6) - Biden +6
Michigan (16) - Biden +6.1
Arizona (11) - Biden +5
Ohio (18) - Biden +2.4
North Carolina (15) - Biden +0.6

Iowa (6) - Trump +1.4
Texas (38) - Trump +2.3
Georgia (16) - Trump +1

Looks like Florida is this most important. Florida and Pennsylvania will get him 49. He could win those 2 states, lose the other 10 and become President.

And that's why we need to watch them and limit their powers. Power corrupts even the best. And politics rarely attract the best.

There is a political sickness in the USA right now, a tumour that needs to be removed IMO. I could see this coming miles away, not that I have any more foresight than the next guy, just not blinded by the hypocrisy of it all.

Looks like Florida is this most important. Florida and Pennsylvania will get him 49. He could win those 2 states, lose the other 10 and become President.

Which means Trump needs 145 votes from this list to get to 270:

Pennsylvania (20) - Biden +3.9
New Hampshire (4) - Biden +5.5
Florida (29) - Biden +1.6
Wisconsin (10) - Biden +6.6
Nevada (6) - Biden +6
Michigan (16) - Biden +6.1
Arizona (11) - Biden +5
Ohio (18) - Biden +2.4
North Carolina (15) - Biden +0.6

Iowa (6) - Trump +1.4
Texas (38) - Trump +2.3
Georgia (16) - Trump +1

Assume he wins the ones leaning toward Trump. That's 60. So you need 85 from the Biden leading states.

85 from this list for Trump to win:

Pennsylvania (20) - Biden +3.9
New Hampshire (4) - Biden +5.5
Florida (29) - Biden +1.6
Wisconsin (10) - Biden +6.6
Nevada (6) - Biden +6
Michigan (16) - Biden +6.1
Arizona (11) - Biden +5
Ohio (18) - Biden +2.4
North Carolina (15) - Biden +0.6

Pick the states from this list of 9 that equal 85.

My challenge to the Trump supporters here. If you can't, President Biden.

Get ready for another “92% “forecast” moment. Lies. Not buying Pennsylvania;

It would decimate fracking #1 to their state gdp

Samer · Sep 23, 2020

Trump cuts back on EPA Obama policies

Just less restrictions; help businesses grow.

He had the best response to climate change;

“it’ll get cooler” LOL. He invites hate for himself

Ok, give Pennsylvania to Trump. This is like a puzzle for you guys to figure out, You need 85 from this list. Remember all leaning Biden, so Trump has some flipping to do. I'll bold Penn, you need 65 more from the unbolded states. I'll give Trump Florida

36 more unbolded

Pennsylvania (20) - Biden +3.9
New Hampshire (4) - Biden +5.5
Florida (29) - Biden +1.6
Wisconsin (10) - Biden +6.6
Nevada (6) - Biden +6
Michigan (16) - Biden +6.1
Arizona (11) - Biden +5
Ohio (18) - Biden +2.4
North Carolina (15) - Biden +0.6

Samer · Sep 23, 2020

I never knew PA relied so much on fracking
and what fracking did to the economy;
We’ll chalk that one up to politics;
which leaves 65 room for error according u

of the rational side of man and appealing to his subconscious and his deeper emotions... and so making him actually love his slavery."

Easy to say, but it's just going to get worse until an epic tragedy or crisis hits. And then it might transform into something worse yet as people look for someone to blame. The hate and hysteria we see in the US now is fertile breeding ground for the worst sorts of totalitarians.

Can't just remove a social condition that has been generations in the making short of total destruction.

Goya has predominantly hispanic base.

CEO wanted to expand: i like his style.

Oh JB, tripping up over your own argument every time you bring up Goya;

Goya is the example the (in)tolerant left;

@JB Lions since u the only one seem sports;

My favorite athletes are the; Kawhi Leonards; Jordan in his prime days; Politics out of sports

Now Jordan all “Social Justice”. No Come on!
Revert back to when let your game do talking.

“Shut up & dribble.” Sports is great de-stresser. Politics is usually a stresser; Case in point;

Cannuck, consider that Trump is just a populist president with conservative appealing ideas. Most have root in economics and constitution. I know the canadian news cycle is bash Trump for anything and everything but do you really think taking away a populist conservative president and replacing him with mentally dementia suffering individual with a base full of leftist radicals would serve America better? This treatment of the president by the democratic party, endless allegations, while their wrong doings are done in the open and never questioned or hashed over, speaks to what ethics rules leftist ideals. All they seek is power.

Last honest president from the democratic party.

I will tell you I actually agree with keeping politics out of sports for the most part. But it doesn't stop me from watching sports. I think next year most of that will get stripped out and get back to normal. This year is just something else.

As far as Jordan, I don't see what the problem is. He's not playing anymore. He's donating 100 million, I'm sure it will do some people good. Why do you have an issue with that?

I have an issue with certain coverage of it;

Not the action itself; actually commendable.

I’ll try to find article; Some spins’ negate good

Samer · Sep 23, 2020

i cant find it;

But copied this guy; divide conquer clickbait

Like it makes up for MJ “mistakes” of the past; When you bring up his “inaction” in play days;
Pathetic imo; It was typical leftist take;
Issue with bringing up the past; playing days.
It struck a cord; Jordan’s actions during prime;
How ALL should act. Prob why he worth billion;
Keep Politics out! Refreshing you agree w/ that

I don't like Stephen A. Jordan can't control what the media says. The Republicans buy sneakers was a joke, it's in the documentary, that is now on Netflix. Even tho it was a joke, it's true. Basketball is a little different but I think companies should remain neutral, stay out of politics. Jordan is swimming in money, so time will tell what that 100 million will translate to. That's a lot of money so I think some good will come out of it.
