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

All experts are experts in everything, duh, Savannah.

Hint: Not "Fauci" we're tired of hearing speak

I think a lot about these career guvvies (Fauci among them) who are just keeping their heads down, gritting their teeth, and counting down the days.

Also all the fired people who'll be able to return once the ogre has been banished from the castle. It'll be like the end of Beauty and the Beast.

everybody in the Trump cabinet should also be shot into outer space, even if they were appointed by him and served for only a day.

XXXXXXP - thank you!

Of course, since 98% percent of all these people have been complaining anonymously (including the New York Times star columnist and best-selling author, Anonymous) for years, literally everyone will say they were one of the bulwarks, one of the naysayers, one of failsafes, one the people who kept their heads down and the government running. That Trump stink isn't coming from them, oh no, it was the person who just left the elevator the floor before that you smell.

Wait, what? Why Tennessee specifically? Or has the White House just been privately telling all red states to mandate masks?

In a statement late Friday, the governor’s office said the White House report had not altered his thinking.

"In one recent encounter, Pence did not take sides between Atlas and Birx, but rather told them to bring data bolstering their perspectives to the task force and to work out their disagreements themselves, according to two senior administration officials."

heartland institute analysis held up to be comparable to the work of the IPCC, basically, in climate change terms

juggalos getting no respect

listen al gore, we know you have some data showing a connection between GHG emissions and rising temperatures. however, this guy we found in a hardee's parking lot has a backissue of Time from the 1970s that mentions global cooling. i can't make a decision here - you two get together, look at the data, and let me know which one wins

"look, we have to be adults here. There are two sides of every coin. Why not meet in the middle - either half of the population wears masks, or the whole population wears half a mask"

from Scott Atlas' wikipedia:

Scott William Atlas is an American neuroradiologist, professor, commentator, and health care policy advisor. He is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution

that tells you all you need to know

Wait, what? Why Tennessee specifically? Or has the White House just been privately telling all red states to mandate masks?

always a troubling moment when you realize one of the main evil organizations from Jane Mayer's Dark Money is on a task force

I mean...did anyone really expect Pence to affect any kind of leadership position here? He's a ventriloquist's dummy who was one day gifted a cruel simulacrum of animate life and a fear of lady hoo-hahs. Putting him in charge of something by someone shouldn't be in charge of anything isn't going to magically make him fit for anything but breathing quietly in a corner somewhere.

Asked one GOP consultant what he would advise the president to do in the final two weeks to turn things around & help down-ticket Rs. Answer: "Distribute Trump-brand tequila."

how about trump-brand non-alcoholic tequila? give trump supporters some 0.6% ABV trump-brand tequila

That'll win Sammy Hagar's vote

No it won't, it'll eat into his market share.

Was thinking they'd maybe do a collabo-wabo

does hagar have low-alcohol tequila, though? that's what the suburban housewives want to drink

collabo-wabo

lol gold

It's getting just sad at this point.

I can't drink . . . oh point fiiiiive!!!

Just voted. 20 person line just to drop my ballot in a box, probably because so many people were taking selfies. Anytime somebody voted for the first time people cheered. Pretty inspiring. The actual line to vote in person stretched down and around the block, hundreds of people long. People had lawn chairs, like they were waiting to buy concert tickets.

xpost lol there's another debate!?

Allegedly, bet you are sorry you voted already, aren't you?

i'm curious to hear more about these candidates and their positions on the issues

by the way, I've always voted in every election since I've been eligible. I've never thought too much about it. but this time was the first time I actually felt kind of emotional. a weird mix of sadness and euphoria. the stakes just see him so serious and real, and I like a lot of people have years of pent up anger and feelings of hopelessness, with this the first real legal means of expressing that that doesn't involve yelling or alcohol.

Debate is nothing but tequila rankings.

go 100% agave or go home

honestly the last debate should just be that one youtube show where celebrities try different hot sauces

label Trump's all something different but make all of them Carolina Reaper sauce

nothing like no buzz marg with my taco salad. the taco trucks on all the corners in my neighborhood don't seem to offer either of them, it's weird.

more shocking evidence of the deep racism of the republican party:

When protesters are specified as “Black Americans” vs. “Americans,” support for protests DROPS by ___ points:

Republicans who most trust Fox News: 37
Republicans overall: 25
White evangelicals: 20
All White Americans: 14
Democrats: 0

i mean, anytime you ask questions like this, you get this split. but this one in particular, i mean come the fuck on.

when they asked republicans if it was a good thing when "Americans" protest against unfair treatment by the government, 49% agree. but if you specify "Black Americans", it drops in half, to 24% support. apparently about half of republicans change their mind about protest when they remember that black people can be Americans too.

(democrats were 71% on both versions of the question, regardless of whether or not race was mentioned)

apparently the poll findings are so racist that it knocked prri.org down

"I think Joe Biden has a scandal coming up that's going to make him almost an impotent candidate," Trump also told his staff during the call.

“We found stuff yesterday we gave it to the press," he said. https://t.co/E9G5ijNrmd

— Jill Colvin (@colvinj) October 19, 2020

oh boy here we go

I don’t think Trump can hold a scandal to Biden.

Biden sex tape

these motherfuckers don't know any other play

the best part is that nobody seems to care about this shit

It's just a copy of the Access Hollywood tape with Biden's head ineptly pasted over Trump's.
