QAnon is a growing force and it's key mode of operation is disseminating false stories -- something Trump claims to be morally against........We should all be paying attention

Imagine her as our ambassador to the United Nations, digging deep into the hides of her counterparts from Russia, Iran and other such outlaw nations.
No, she was rude and combative. She is a moderator not an opponent.

Trump is "probably the best negotiator that anyone has ever seen" at least according to him, why was he unable to negotiate the terms that he wanted?

I don’t know what they are. I’m guessing an alt-right website? Certainly nothing like BLM responsible for mass violence throughout the country. Why doesn’t someone ask Biden to condemn the BLM racist hate group?

So ABC signed on with Biden before Trump agreed to work with NBC. The dates and times were set.

It isn't clear who approached who -- but Trump was ready to sign on to the NBC Town Hall because he wanted the ratings war. Not because Trump wanted to get out his agenda.

So NBC offered up an hour and Trump took it or Trump asked for an hour and got it.

Trump and fans seem bitter that Trump agreed to the conditions. It's odd.

Someone pointed out that any moderator outside of Fox seems to be 'against' Trump because they don't let him slide with the false narrative or dodge the questions.

While George S. might be 'smoother' -- he held Biden accountable when Biden wasn't addressing the question.

I didn't see the exchange about the 'crazy uncle'...and I think that was a little too 'honest' for a moderator. There was a more diplomatic way of addressing Trump's propensity to retweet questionable content.

As for pushing him on not remembering whether or not he was tested or not knowing QAnon or disavowing them.....meh -- maybe she gets a zero for style but come on........

That's all Trump. And yes Hannity would not have asked Trump and testing or QAnon or commented on his propensity to retweet questionable content but that's on Trump not on a moderator.

I watched Trump get pummeled by Savannah in it's entirety.

Trump freaks out when confronted, his face contorts and his eyes blink as he tries to appear
calm. The movements he makes with his hands, the "Boxing" thing is what I call it. He
makes movements with his hands that looks like he is trying to place his words and thoughts
conveyed into a square package that he can compartmentalize and then 'push' away. He
kinda does this sliding motion with the boxing that makes me feel like he is communicating
his desire to never be questioned.

Trump squirming when asked and finally admitting to owing over 400 million dollars was
priceless. "It's really nothing" hahahahaha. What a steaming load of doo doo, you can't
bury that stench.

"We got rid of the individual mandate" repeated over and over. That's it? That was how
many years ago now?

I can't believe you haven't looked them up -- we have been talking about them on this message board for at least a year.

And the fact people haven't been paying attention is a little concerning and explains why these extremist groups are able to gain so much traction.

And this isn't a contest about what fringe groups are more dangerous.

And to stay on topic -- the issue is this QAnon - (that Trump clearly knows was the source for the false story on Pizzagate given his ''they want to fight pedophiles"....comment 0and Trump's refusal to disavow them.

That's at the core.

It wasn't a debate on who is worse, more violent, responsible for the protests, etc.

It was specific to QAnon......

But yeah -- there's a ton of information on QAnon -- worth looking into if anybody still hasn't.

Savannah Guthrie is a national treasure. She's the first person I've ever seen not let Trump off the hook.

Trump supporters across America are outraged this morning, as they accuse Guthrie, who wouldn't let get away with lying and pressed him on those lies, of being "unfair." LMAO!

What a disaster that was. Nothing captures Trump's personality more than clips of him trying to overtalk a woman because he doesn't like what she says.

The man is a fool or a mental case.
Some friendly advice, stop watching CNN and MSNBC. You may not like his style or demeanor, and he speaks off the cuff to much, but his message is usually in the ballpark.

You may want to read the CDC report about 85% of positive cases wearers reported wearing masks.
