US Politics: July 2020 - "Denigrating this Luxury Avenue"

never. tucker and hannity are competing to see who gets to be goebbels

Herman Cain dead.

Excelsior

He was a pioneer and an innovator. Like Sarah Palin, Cain helped to forge the path to our present shitstorm.

pokemon go to hell

it's gonna be so weird when Trump acknowledges this considering that his Tulsa rally is literally what killed him

Maybe if there had been more people there herd immunity would have saved him, I think that's how it works. Herd just wasn't big enough.

And yeah this might be to distract from the funeral. Also the fed just announced the biggest gdp drop in history which is bad according to conventional wisdom.

This isn't 5D chess, it's simple psychological manipulation. He's been covering his fuckups his whole life, it's his MO.

lol

Support Patio Pizza and its wonderful owner, Guy Caligiuri, in St. James, Long Island (N.Y.). Great Pizza!!! @Varneyco

Hmph. Bet that pizza place doesn't even HAVE a decent sex-trafficking dungeon.

exactly as expected. softly saying "no, dearie, no", as daintily as they can without upsetting their dear pustulent leader

Mitch & Co know how to steal elections in Nov/Dec (20th anniversary tour).

XP: There's been a group of ~80 leaders emeritus who've gamed out scenarios for how Trump can interfere with electoral results:

WBUR: On Point: This War Game Maps Out What Happens If The President Contests The Election.

IIRC, delaying the election wasn't mentioned, but there's a lot of dire things that Trump could do, particularly with mail-in ballots. Voter suppression leads to a closer election than polls, a contested swing state, Covid-19 scare used to prevent mail in ballot counting, the DHS nazis called to street protests, and there's no one in the government in a good position to fight back. The presidency holds all the Federal law enforcement, and the career millitary guy on the program (Lawrence Wilkerson, aide to Sec State Powell) was practically begging the military to stay in their barrocks.

Voter suppression is one they're already actively pursuing.

They have to lean on state legislatures and Governors for that, but they have enough cronies to do that around the country.

ACLU probably gonna be at the ready with tons of state lawsuits for States disenfranchising voters or disallowing vote by mail. I don't have huge confidence that this SCOTUS would rule in their favor on most, but...gotta try.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/29/politics/trump-economic-approval-rating-analysis/index.html

But Trump now may be seeing this advantage dissipate. His approval on the economy has seen a dramatic decline since the beginning of the year, and he's lost his edge on the economy over former Vice President Joe Biden.

NO WAY, Harry!

I do love how he's losing his "edge" to someone who is, afaict, literally doing next to nothing beyond existing as an alternative. Trump would probably lose his edge to Pop-tarts.

don't forget tho, Bernie would've lost massively to him, acc to all the DNC assbags

what's with the avalanche of assbags today

just a passing whimsical fancy

we're brainstorming podcast segment names for Defector

Six months ago, I was making the electability argument for Bernie to anyone who would listen. Four months ago, I even voted for him. Now, I have to admit, I'm kind of glad that the nominee is a moderate who can promise baseline competency and won't scare anyone. That's not to say that Bernie wouldn't have won, but he would've made me nervous.

I think the fact that he kinda got stomped by Biden despite his core issues being more relevant than ever points to the fact that people just really fuckin hated Hillary Clinton

My friend Herman Cain, a Powerful Voice of Freedom and all that is good, passed away this morning. Herman had an incredible career and was adored by everyone that ever met him, especially me. He was a very special man, an American Patriot, and great friend. I just got off...

uhh

2016 was extremely weird in terms of both candidates having such high 'negatives' among voters. Trump's were higher than HRC's, but both were at historically high levels.

xpost LOL

helluva place to end your first tweet in a two tweet post

tmi tweet

I just got off in honor of this great patriot

I was there in 1988
I was there at the premier of Rain Man at Lincoln Center
I'm losing my edge
I'm losing my edge to the elderly neolibs whose loafers I hear when they get on the hustings
I'm losing my edge to the Tweeters who can tell me every VP nominee from 1956 to 2008
I'm losing my edge

lol @Morbs - stealing that

amazing, the world is stupider every day

at least i stole it from our resident DNC assbag

What an asshole this guy is. https://t.co/LK3wiIDmxK

I am dying at Trump's tweet cutoff, I know it's unproductive to laugh at a dumb person, but I can't stop, I'm sorry

Worth watching:

Obama just called for eliminating the filibuster if "that's what it takes" to pass new voting rights laws, calling it "a Jim Crow relic"
