(Note: The Biden campaign's response, in a tweet from Daniel Dale, follows several tweets with longer and longer video clips of Trump's raving.)

Those were the issues that kept some parts of the U.S. voting Republican. He got some flack for saying that, but only because it was true. Republicans still manipulate their constituents by stirring up feelings about those issues. Most of them will keep being manipulated again and again. Sometimes I think some people are just too stupid to vote. We have to let them vote, of course, but I can't help but challenge my own opinions about it.r

Denethor, in Gondor, got hold of a Palantir, and did not realize Sauron was "hacking" it to drain his resolve. Yes, he was a good steward at first.

I realize thigs get changed from books to movies, but I'm pretty sure I would have remembered it if the movie put Wormtongue into Gondor.

how similar the relationships were: Theoden/Grima and Denethor/Sauron-via-palantir. Of course both based on misplaced trust, but I think it's more than that.

And I first read LOTR at 13, and have re-read it more times than I can remember, and I just turned 75.

Raping his planet for cash, killing any species in the way of that cash. Babies in gages are up there pretty high.
I live in Western North Carolina. A favorite saying from the trumpy republicans up here, “This is Gods Country.” You drive through any country road these brain dead God Peeps live on, the road sides are thick with thrash. Should I mention the rivers and streams with tires, mattresses refrigerators? That’s how you treat God’s country. Pretty sure that gives God a butt hurt.
During my career as college faculty in a Natural Resources program, we had a twice annual major stream clean up. A 5+ mile stretch through town and by a county recreation park. Every time, the same stretch, Twice a year we collected over 2,500.pounds of trash. Two large dump trucks full, in Gods Country. 30 years I did that and still going on with new faculty. Some hurting of the Gods I expect.

Just another display of ignorance from Donald Trump who only believes in his own omnipotence. He wouldn't recognize a man of faith if he tripped over him. Biden is a devout Catholic who practices his faith quietly, day-to-day in how he behaves and acts towards others.

Biden doesn't require a Bible photo-op, Donnie. You might rethink this line of attack because it just doesn't work.
