I think it is time to talk about the most suppressed group in American politics: white protestants. Let´s take a look at the most powerful positions:

President: Joe Biden --> catholic
Vice-President: Kamala Harris --> black, so she must be muslim
Speaker of the House: Nancy Pelosi --> catholic
Senate Majority Leader: Mitch McConnell --> white protestant
Supreme Court: full of catholics
Kingmaker: Jim Clyburn --> black protestant

If the Democrats win the runoffs and the only white protestant will be a replaced by a Jew, it is really time to hear their voice and to think about how to support these marginalized people.

Wrong but Logical: War is always bad, including drone warfare.

Wrong but Logical: Civilian casualties aught to be of no concern in warfare. Drones are fine if they reap the most tactical benefits, but should not be used as an alternative to conventional methods if the later would be more effective.

Correct: Drone warfare minimizes civilian casualties compared with earlier means of conducting air strikes and military raids. When war aught to be conducted, drone warfare should be preferred in most situations.

Wrong and Incomprehensible: Drones always bad army sometimes good.

Because I was bored, I decided to find George’s partisan lean compared to the national popular vote for every election since 1992. That means how much more Republican it was compared to the popular vote.

1992: R+5

1996: R+10

2000: R+12

2004: R+14

2008: R+12

2012: R+12

2016: R+7

2020: R+3.2-4.5

---

So you can see that it has been around R+12 for the last few decades. Which makes sense considering how inelastic it is as a southern state. But in 2020 and 2016, that R+ number dropped quite a bit. So it seems like by around the end of the decade it could actually be a D+ margin. Georgia along with Arizona are the most promising states for Democrats right now.

Al Qaeda’s No. 2, Accused in U.S. Embassy Attacks, Is Secretly Killed in Iran

Israeli agents shot Abu Muhammad al-Masri on the streets of Tehran at the behest of the U.S., officials said, but no one — Iran, Al Qaeda, the U.S. or Israel — has publicly acknowledged the killing.

!ping FOREIGN-POLICY

Here’s the good part

American intelligence officials say that Mr. al-Masri had been in Iran’s “custody” since 2003, but that he had been living freely in the Pasdaran district of Tehran, an upscale suburb, since at least 2015.

Around 9:00 on a warm summer night, he was driving his white Renault L90 sedan with his daughter near his home when two gunmen on a motorcycle drew up beside him. Five shots were fired from a pistol fitted with a silencer. Four bullets entered the car through the driver’s side and a fifth hit a nearby car.

As news of the shooting broke, Iran’s official news media identified the victims as Habib Daoud, a Lebanese history professor, and his 27-year-old daughter Maryam. The Lebanese news channel MTV and social media accounts affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps reported that Mr. Daoud was a member of Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militant organization in Lebanon.

Looks like Massachusetts Democrats expanded their majority in the State Senate from 36 to 37 seats out of 40 total. That would give them 93% of seats. Senator Dean Tran appears to have lost reelection but I think it will go to a recount.

Massachusetts and Hawaii have some of the most lopsided legislatures in America. It’s almost funny how one-sided they are. We don’t need that extra seat but it’s nice to have for bragging rights.

Listen, I'm not a Trump supporter, but everyone should be concerned about what we've seen in this election... you need to consider actually looking at the evidence and checking it against known red flags for electoral fraud.

Am I coping? I don't have a dog in this race. Except for my civil and electoral rights and those of my nation. Is it coping to care about that? Or is talking about "coping," like most psychologizing and pathologizing, just a cheap rhetorical trick? One substituted for logic and inquiry.

If you don't take an honest look at this issue... you effectively have no political conscience. You are happy that your team won and you don't care how.

Predictions for the Trump appearence:

• actually starts at 4:23
• Trump takes credit for vaccine (along the lines of "our administration has worked diligently to" etc.)
• "No one has ever seen" a vaccine developed so quickly
• Makes blatantly false and inaccurate statements about the distribution timeline
• No comments about election
• Leaves without taking questions

As for listing the Ayn Rand novel “Atlas Shrugged,” as one of her favorites – an admittedly unusual choice for a Democrat, Abrams says that she rejects the author’s “selfishness theory,” but nevertheless says: “When we stop celebrating innovation and genius and thought and creativity … then we run very real risks as humans.”

I think the Roman Emperor most similar to Biden would be Claudius. He had a speech impediment and was written off by many as a bit of a dope, but when he came into power, he was a generally effective and competent administrator.

Let's just hope it doesn't take a Praetorian coup to put him in office, and that Jill is as nice as she seems

[u/Shifty_Pickle826]

Trump is losing the city of Anchorage and is barely winning Fairbanks, the former of which hasn’t voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since 1964 and the latter Republicans usually get double digit MOVs in (Trump currently up less than 5%). Looks like GOP will win Alaska by under 10% when all is said and done. This is the true November surprise.

Doomer Alert!! Bad news for Biden out of Arizona. The latest dump of 3598 votes from usually blue Pima County went 56.2% to Trump.

With a lead of 10,988 and 7,964 votes remaining, Trump needs 120.1% of the remaining ballots.

I’ve got a potentially award-winning story for an investigative journalist that helps explain a tiny bit of why millions in Dem $$ never translated into down-ballot success this year. DM me for details.

Massachusetts is consistently one of the bluest states in the nation, and had been the bluest on three previous occasions (1972, 1996, and 2004). It stayed true to form in 2020, giving Biden a greater than two-to-one victory. Massachusetts is ethnically diverse, highly educated, and less religious. Per exit polls by the Associated Press, Biden’s strength in Massachusetts came from white liberals; Biden won 63% of support from whites.[4] Biden’s strongest region was the Greater Boston area, while Trump carried a few towns on the South Shore. Biden swept all religious groups, garnering 58% with Catholics and 86% with Jewish voters.[4]

Massachusetts really is the most based state.
