Kidnap? What’s the ransom they demanded?

In one particularly odd moment, they tangled over the president’s cognitive test. Trump recently boasted that he “aced” such a test. “They said, ‘That’s an unbelievable thing. Rarely does anybody do what you just did,’ ” Trump told Fox News last week. “But [Biden] should take that same test.”

Wallace, making the point that “it’s not the hardest test,” highlighted one of the questions, which asks the test taker to identify a picture of an elephant.

What do you call it when someone is snatched off the street and shoved into an unmarked vehicle, by non-identified people, without being arrested?

Kidnap doesn't automatically imply a ransom will be sought. There are other purposes for kidnapping.

If you think about some of the reasons other than ransom the act is far more sinister.

I'm sure that's not the most serious talking point around this saga.

The term kidnap doesn't automatically imply a ransom will be sought, people are kidnapped for other more sinister reasons.

What's to stop these protesters or someone the unmarked agents don't like being dropped into the sea from a helicopter or buried in a shallow grave somewhere?

I don’t think we’ve quite reached that Netflix level of reality just yet. Perhaps they can, in the meantime, leave their heads on spikes as a warning to other protestors.

Doesn't this just alienate progressives whose votes are also much needed? I know he's relatively sensible and moderate for a Republican but his stance on signature progressive issues like the environment and abortion will be repellent to left wing voters. These aren't the type of endorsements that they find palatable.

Is he really that influential that he's going to bring a substantial number of republicans into the fold or sway undecided voters?

Yep. Don't address my points. Don't confess to your brainwashed buffoonery.
But hey, have you heard the latest: Trump has unleashed his secret police Nazi gestapo stormtroopers on the civilian population . It's a forerunner to his tactic when he gets landslided by Joe somebody in an election for Congress some time apparently in the next decade in Mexico, Tacoma and Trump's going to refuse to vacate and this is just his practice run. Must be true, 'cos it's non-stop on XiNN and in the NZ media and lots and lots of seriously intelligent deep thinkers are regurgitating it so gee whizz, that surely confirms it..
