    The campaign staff are all bipolar and none of us are sleeping. We are torn between wanting it to end and being afraid of the end.

    The point of the fauxrage over Biden is to be able to ignore Harris's closing speech. Instead of hearing about what she said we hear about Trump riding in a garbage truck.

    He lives in a different world than you.

    We live in Reality.

    Sorry you got played. Also thanks for being a hypocrite and not owning up to what Trump said on video but tried to "own us" by saying we wouldn't and all of us have and did.

    Does it get tired defending a felon and habitual liar and narcissist? You lose, every time.

    "Very fine people."

    Yep. That was the biggest thing. It was static that obscured a great speech.

    Biden should know better. The people around Biden should know better. Things are going well, don't shake the applecart. As much good as you've done and your intentions are never questioned, you have to know who you are and verbal gaffes are part of your resume', so let Harris' campaign handle things and just sit back and relax.

    Kamala Harris depicted chained up behind golf cart during Pennsylvania Halloween parade

    MT. PLEASANT, Pa. (KDKA) — Some participants in a Halloween parade in Westmoreland County are coming under fire for their depiction of Vice President Kamala Harris in a float.

    Photos of the float in Wednesday night's Halloween parade in Mount Pleasant show a utility vehicle decorated with American flags and Trump campaign signs and people dressed as United States Secret Service agents with what appears to be a rifle mounted on top with a person dressed as Harris chained up and walking behind the cart.

    [​IMG]

    The photos have gone viral on social media and the response is overwhelmingly negative, with many calling the float racist and offensive.

    In a statement on Facebook on Thursday night, the fire department apologized "for allowing the offensive participants" to be in the parade.

    "We do not share in the values represented by those participants, and we understand how it may have hurt or offended members of our community," the post said.

    The Mount Pleasant Volunteer Fire Department said it has "traditionally only provided safety & traffic control" during the parade but didn't elaborate on how the float made it into the parade or who was involved with it.

    "We will be reviewing our planning processes to prevent a situation like this from happening again. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to make our events more welcoming for everyone," the post closed with.

    Daylon A. Davis, the president of the NAACP Pittsburgh Branch, put out a statement in response to the float that said, in part:

    "This appalling portrayal goes beyond the realm of Halloween satire or free expression; it is a harmful symbol that evokes a painful history of violence, oppression, and racism that Black and Brown communities have long endured here in America.

    "We urge the event organizers and local leaders to implement clearer guidelines to prevent this type of hateful and hurtful display from occurring in the future. We also ask that they offer an apology and make a public commitment to anti-racist values that affirm the dignity and equality of all people."

    Mayor Diane Bailey said the borough will have more to say in a statement on Friday.

    It's amazing that something like this comes from Trump followers. He's always so considerate and well-behaved when discussing his opponents.

    The poll at the top of this thread still shows that you are voting for Trump.

    Incorrect.

    It shows that I believe Trump will Win?. I also did it because of the "Win?" in the thread title. The question mark sandwiched with Win, now makes it a completely hypothetical question. In a now hypothetical thread...
