what's mind boggling here is that this is all happening on trump's watch, but republicans don't give a fuck. the onus is still on the guy who isn't even the president to bring the people together.
what fucking universe.
Yeah I thought that too when I saw a Trump ad showing riots and buildings burning and it said "This will be Joe Biden's America." I thought, "Ummm, this IS Donald Trump's America." But on the other hand, all these riots are happening mainly in cities that are run by democrats. And as the presidential nominee, Biden is the leader of the democrats. Lightfoot, Wheeler, Durkan, De Blasio...it's fair to tie their shortcomings to Biden, and to the democratic party in general, from a political standpoint.
"mainly in cities run by Democrats".. those are also known as "cities". There are exactly 2 cities in teh top 30 run by Republicans, Miami and San Diego, both of which have had riots.
Oh I didn't know it was only the top-30 cities that we're talking about here. And how are we ranking these cities? By population? Because according to the 2019 estimates on Wikipedia, Miami is 42nd. And Oklahoma City, which is 25th, is ran by a Republican. So is Fort Worth, which is 13th. And so is Jacksonville, which is 12th.
Anyway, my point remains that from electioneering standpoint, it's a good card for the Republicans to play.
I was using population in my head, but I was just guessing at the numbers. I forgot about Jax and Ft Worth. I think El Paso has an R mayor too. Either way, I'm making two points: 1. Cities are overwhelmingly run by Democrats. So yeah, I'm talking about real cities, not Strongsville, Ohio or the thousands of small towns and cities. 2. Even the real cities that are run by Republicans have been afflicted with violence as well. It's a bullshit talking point that, in my opinion, appeals to the people who don't think. And the people who buy bullshit talking points are already voting for Trump.

They lowered the bar for Biden with the outrageous attacks. They will keep doing it and the debates every one will talk about how sharp on on point Biden is. This type of strategy is usually a mistake.

I personally think the market will tank in November no matter who wins. I plan on being mostly cash by then.
Y'all are crazy. The market will be perfectly comfortable with Biden so long as he doesn't immediately commit to raising corporate tax rate. Second, if another stimulus package gets done, it will stave off a bad recession.
Biden to troll Trump with 2-minute ad set to run during renomination speech
Annie Linskey, The Washington Post
Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden speaks during the fourth day of the Democratic National Convention, Thursday, Aug. 20, 2020, at the Chase Center in Wilmington, Del.
Joe Biden isn't onstage this week as Republicans celebrate their presidential nominating convention. But his campaign is trying to make sure he's on TV.
That presence will come in the form of a two-minute television ad set to debut on broadcast and cable networks Thursday night, offering pricey counterprogramming intended to coincide with President Donald Trump's renomination speech.
The spot largely focuses on a positive message from Biden to America, including his plan to recover from the pandemic, interspersed with details of his biography. And it portrays the 77-year-old candidate as a vibrant and quick-paced campaigner at a time when Republicans are trying to paint him as a washed-up politician who is showing his age.
"Some people are always in a hurry," a narrator says in the opening scene, over a montage of Biden riding a bike, walking away from an Air Force plane, preparing to go onstage and jogging up a ramp.
"When Joe Biden is president, America is just going to have to keep up," the narrator says, citing Biden's plan to deal with the novel coronavirus and proposals to help working families get ahead.
The spot is largely gauzy and high-minded, but it's not entirely Mr. Nice Guy, with some footage designed to trigger Trump on his big day, even though the president is never mentioned by name.
At one point, as the narrator says that some people "race up steps when others take it slow" as a video shows Trump making an unsteady descent on a ramp after giving an address at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in June. That's juxtaposed with video of Biden jogging up a similar ramp, from an address he gave at the academy.
(In case anyone misses the reference, a campaign news release accompanying the ad notes that the ad is being released as the general election "Ramps Up.")
Other references in the ad, which is set to run on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox News, are more subtle. Audio of Biden saying that America is an idea more powerful than any "dictator or tyrant" plays over a picture of Trump walking past police in riot gear near Lafayette Square after chemical irritants were deployed to clear protesters from the area before a presidential photo op.
And for the briefest moment, the ad features archival video of Trump dancing at a Mar-a-Lago party attended by Jeffrey Epstein - though Epstein is not in the snippet.
Biden's campaign has largely avoided trolling Trump, instead trying to stick with a message that Biden is a uniter who will heal the country. So the jabs at Trump - particularly his physical difficulties - represent a departure.
The ad also highlights more familiar fare, including tragedies that have occurred Biden's life. He lost his wife and young daughter in a 1972 car crash and an adult son to brain cancer in 2015 - and the ad connects his ability to overcome personal struggles with his optimism that the country can survive current crises.
"No one needs to tell Joe how hard life can hit you," the narrator says. "But he knows it's in the pain you can find purpose."
The ad will also run Friday through Sunday in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, part of the campaign's $26 million ad buy for the week of the Republican National Convention.

Sad.
I'm actually really surprised at this. I assumed their ratings would be higher since Trump is such a lightning rod.
