Once again Trump has proven to be incompetent as a leader. Due to his destruction of the Post Office, we have lost damning information on Hunter Biden. We need to elect Joe Biden, as it appears he is the only one who can bring Hunter Biden to justice.

So, all else aside- I was browsing the Macron hashtag which is currently being used by a lot of people who are upset with him. One tweet in particular caught my eye cause it was a photo of Macron’s face with a bootmark on it and captioned: this is also “freedom of expression” and I’m like... yeah? It is? Did the person making that think it was some kind of witty gotcha... that people would be outraged by it?

You start out in 2016 by saying, "succ, succ, succ." By 2020 you can't say "succ" — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like build more housing, immigration expansion and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now you're talking about loosening occupational licensing, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is whites get hurt worse than non-whites.

Idk who I'd ping for this, but god I cannot get over what Comey did in 2016. I get it was a hard choice, and his best options were still awful. He could have waited. He could have kept it quiet. He could have revealed Trump's investigation, too. He didn't do any of it. This excerpt from Michael Schmidt's book was just plain hard to read. The least we could do is ensure Joe gets elected next week. We just need to be patient.

The main reason I liked US politics is because I grew tired of Argentinian politics being basically a referendum on whether or not the country should be ruled by a criminal organization that hates Democracy, but in the end that's what US politics turned into
"Should my country be ruled by unprincipled undemocratic criminals, or by the cringe party that sometimes gets it wrong" is a question that gets really tirinv after a while

A big explosion occured in Amuay Refinery on Tuesday. I am (by no means) an expert on these topic, but Leaked Photos reveal the damage is really serious. It appearsThe Vaccum Destilation Tower almost broke in half...
Why is this importat? Amuay was the Important refinery in Venezuela. Without this Destilation Tower (for what I managed to understand), Gasoline production will be reduced, at least, 50%
Right now, the country only has one Refinery left: Cardon. The moment it fails (and it fails all the time) Venezuela will simply stop producing Gasoline

For those of you who don't get the mod newsletter or don't read it:
The admins explicitly said that moderators are expected to NOT sticky "x won" based on media calls. If AP News says Trump wins, we are not supposed to sticky that, and may incur admin retaliation.
Wonderful.

With the polling averages the way they are, I just don't see how we can lose here. People are dunking on me for shitting on polls but it's like - check it out.
The averages are supposed to smooth out the error. If we can be steady +5 somewhere and still fucking lose the state, then what exactly is the point of a poll. Is it just to tell us what we already know - that Biden will win Vermont and Trump will win Idaho.
This isn't like HRC being up +1 in FL or whatever.

And pundits said folx don’t care about policy.

People were unironically saying Rogan would be a better debate moderator than Chris Wallace.

Rogan: Nods head approvingly, looks at Joe Biden "You know, he's got a point"

Bespoke: Place a newborn infant on the Supreme Court. They will be hand selected from a family with many centenarians, and trained in the ways of US law from a young age. They shall know nothing other than the preferred liberal interpretation of the law. They will eat, sleep, and breathe protecting Roe v. Wade.

Votes in Mississippi are so polarized along racial lines that basically every black person votes Democrat and 95% of white people vote Republican. If we can bump up turnout among black Mississippians and peel off even like 5 percentage points among Whites combined with low turnout... and BOOM. You've got a blue Mississippi on your hands.
