"Will you shut up, man?" US Politics October 2020

The system doesn't need "reform," it needs tearing down. An amendment requires majorities in both houses of Congress and in state legislatures.

The government art competition now requires hunting imagery, a change that some wildlife painters say undermines its conservation message.

this is truly fucked

well the Access Hollywood tape dropped 4 years ago today. This shit is far from over imo

I'm positive.

So's he!

Can someone very succinctly encapsulate what’s going on with the Russiagate/Hillarygate/Obamagate nonsense right now that’s got Trump so spun up (I assume it’s not entirely the drugs talking). I don’t particularly want to wade through Fox News fever dreams to piece together the latest developments

President Donald Trump announced he has authorized the declassification of documents related to the FBI’s Russia investigation and the probe into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email account, part of his efforts to cast aspersions on his political enemies as he falls further behind in his bid for re-election.

“I have fully authorized the total Declassification of any & all documents pertaining to the single greatest political CRIME in American History, the Russia Hoax,” Trump tweeted on Tuesday.

“Likewise, the Hillary Clinton Email Scandal. No redactions!” he said.

he's replying to stuff from 2018 so who knows what his brain is doing right now

No redactions!

So let's get this straight: the best cure for poor handling of classified information is... even WORSE handling of classified information?

We had to destroy the village in order to save it etc.

Is he aware that Hillary isn’t running this time?

No. No, he is not.

Democrats don't seem interested in reforming a system that produces these outcomes.

if he authorizes the declassification of those documents, does that mean someone will do it? or is it what it looks like - a guy on twitter yelling what he wants?

Can't wait to see what Trump's anti-Hillary campaign ads look like this year.

I suppose it makes that he would want to replicate halcyon year 2016 forever.

I can't imagine there are any revelations that would be meaningful to anyone not already fully immersed in the Fox News Cinematic Universe, and to the extent that it has the potential to sow doubt, Biden wouldn't be directly implicated in any of it. So, it doesn't exactly feel like a winning move.

I mean, this is how you win an election, right? Ignore your opponent in the month leading up to the event in lieu of hyperfocus upon prior nominees?

um what

She is far further left than Crazy Bernie. Biden would not last a month! https://t.co/kJWITxYRV1

It’s good to see Biden ahead in the polls but his lead might just fizzle out if he doesn’t forcefully condemn the economic policies of Bush Sr.

is he suggesting Kamala's going to overthrow Joe, or have him killed?

She will sideline him. Power behind the throne stuff, I guess. She'll be Biden's Kushner.

better if it'd been Warren, but all in all I'm OK with that.

It’s just the big man stoking his racist base.

Kamala was inducted into Marxist-Stalinist Masonic Lodge #674 while she was living in Canada, you see.

where does this come from? one thing my conservative friend said was "Kamala is basically a socialist", and i was like..."uh, how?" He just said "well look at her policies"

Alfred is voting Biden to tear down the system.

Nonwhite + Dem = literally Maduro.

Yup. Just like how Corey Booker is coming to destroy the suburbs.

When that prior nominee is as despised as much as Hillary? Who - both justly and unjustly - gets people worked up into a rabid froth? I don't know man. Just might work.

Get with the program, Lunch. Trump's a change agent and doesn't play by the old rules.

Abject ignorance? A nearly complete disconnect from reality? Undiagnosed brain trauma?

just a reminder here to screenshot tweets rather than repost? no point in giving twitter or that dipshit's voice more oxygen than absolutely necessary

You said the system needed to be torn down and yet you are voting and actively participating in a system where the loser can win by 3 million votes. It's all v interesting to me.

I live in a fucking swing state, as I've said many times. You can take your interesting POVs to the book and film threads.

xpost Jesus christ, shut up.

fuck this UK poster bullshit, I want a god damn threadban

Alphie, what would your political strategy be if you were living in Florida? Genuinely curious.

"The system needs tearing down" and "In this election this Floridian needs to vote for Joe Biden and help others vote for Joe Biden to keep Donald Trump from winning" are not irreconcilable.

I didn't expect Alfred to say the system needed to be torn down, that's all.
