Okay, I just discovered the origin of 'person, woman, man, camera, tv' as mentioned upthread and...just...goddamn motherfucking holy shit. It's like crowing because you managed to get through a day without pissing yourself more than once.

uhh this Qunnipiac Florida poll:

In the race for the White House, former Vice President Joe Biden opens up a big lead over President Trump. Voters back Biden 51 - 38 percent over Trump. In an April 22nd poll, it was close with Biden at 46 percent and Trump at 42 percent.

Democrats back Biden 89 - 2 percent, independents back Biden 48 - 32 percent, compared to 44 - 37 percent in April, and Republicans back Trump 88 - 10 percent.

GOP plan imo
1) spend the next 4 months exacerbating the looming recession
2) lay the blame at Biden’s feet the day he swears in. Media goes along.
3) slay in the midterms
4) Hawley/ Haley ticket steamrolls into office 2024
5) DHS Gestapo already in place because
Congress “wouldn’t let” Biden get rid of them when he was elected

Hell yeah brotehr it’s on

Will, you forgot that instead of unemployment, food stamps, or any sort of works program, all adult Americans will be getting $100 gift cards to Amazon every month, as well as $50 worth of coupons for the local McDonalds.

Inbox: Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) introduced the Saving American History Act of 2020, a bill that would prohibit the use of federal funds to teach the 1619 Project by K-12 schools or school districts.

there is no fucking way they said "person, man, woman, camera, tv" to him; that's just the only concepts he can comfortably summon up meaning behind as they relate to him personally.

that's right, stephen miller's dad, you tell it

A White House spokesperson says Stephen Miller’s grandmother "did not pass away from COVID.” Even when shown a death certificate that says her death was a result of COVID-19, the White House called the claim "categorically false.” https://t.co/HEF6ziclYo

I don’t normally post on this thread (or my reporting) but figured this might be of interest to some of you: https://in.reuters.com/article/us-malaysia-politics-1mdb-goldmansachs-idINKCN24P14L

It’s an incredibly huge deal, likely the biggest settlement GS has ever agreed to (anything to avoid admitting guilt) and they will likely pay more to settle investigations in the US too.

the whole story is insane btw - massive international corruption that led to probes in at least six countries, brought down our PM, and involves Saudi and UAE royalty, Elliott Broidy, Leonardo DiCaprio and the film The Wolf of Wall Street and I’m not even close to scratching the surface of it. Dirty Money season 2, episode 2 on netflix is a decent if not exhaustive overview.

Great article!

Wolf of Wall Street was literally made with stolen money?

A little too meta, if you ask me.
