He’s pretty much said it in public and on tv anyway. He definitely said this shit. What was it about McCain “I like people who don’t get captured”

Yea, he said this shit.

What does it matter? If you're a Trump voter, this stuff is irrelevant.

An old high school friend of mine is a minister and a Trump supporter. He'll vote for Trump if trump says any and every racial slur, if he says Veteran's have no dick, or if he says that he has a new 10 year old girl brought into the White House every day to jerk him off.

Even if Trump said he supports abortion, this man of God will say that it was a momentary lapse or a political twisting of what Trump said or just deny that it was said at all.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

They already shuttered our state radio stations around the world, so this should have been expected.

How long before the publisher of a newspaper get's nerve agented for publishing an unfavorable Trump quote?

fascism: a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual
Check.
and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader,
Check.
severe economic and social regimentation,
Check.
and forcible suppression of opposition
Check.

There's no severe economic regimentation, so fuck all you guys who call Trump a fascist.

If you’ve actually been paying attention to Biden’s speeches lately - this whole Biden is tired and old is bullshit.

He’s been fierce.

Biden looks old because he is old. Very old.

Also, that clip would have landed a lot harder if he'd said "who the hell does he think he is" instead of heck.

The problem for Trump here isn’t the loyalty of Trump supporters. His problem is that there aren’t enough Trump supporters. He doesn’t come close to winning without first increasing his standing with low information voters. There are mere months left to do it in, and this is the kind of news that sticks to low information voters. Maybe because it’s a troops story, maybe because it feels a bit gossipy, I dunno. But his polling is not currently electable, and the impact of late-campaign stories is largely in their stunting your ability to draw new people in.

If you're so low information that you don't know who to vote for right now, then you're not plugged into any source that might show you this news.

That's not true at all.
