The Seattle City Council is voting on cuts to the police department today. It isn’t the 50% that activists have been pushing for. But it is a significant movement.
If you want to contact your Council Members to let them know how much you want cut, that an option.
In any case, please wash your hands right now.

Looting and Chaos Erupt in Downtown Chicago, With Widespread Damage and Shots Fired
Apparently some POS spread a rumor that cops shot a child.
And then there is Portland – not unlike Chicago, but with more gender studies degrees.

Just watch – the one place these POS won’t show up is to vote.

Not for nothin’, but it should be noted @ 1 that WaPo called them “looters”. Not peaceful protesters.
Time for one of y’all HA libbies to tell the rest of us that property damage is not violence. Again.
Oh, and that the businesses have insurance. So it’s all good, in the end.
Here ya go.

No doubt. In 2016 very few loyal Real Americans could have imagined how incredibly stupid and self-destructive conservatives were, even then. And in the last four years you have only grown more so.
Thankfully, however, there’s no concealing it anymore.
Entire reddits are devoted to a daily cataloging of conservative racism, stupidity, violence, and ignorance.
I don’t get why Federal government operating costs not covered by revenues started being called “deficits”, since the Fed can print as much money as it pleases to erase them.
Especially since Article 1 of the Constitution provides for the congressional power to coin money.
@ 6
Let’s be honest. There are no more conservatives in office.
So, I guess selling short-dated covered calls against DE shares with a strike price of 190, when they were trading in the 150 range, was a mistake.
Actually, we’re fine with #BLM’s self-definition as a mob. No adjectives necessary. See @ 1, @ 2

Why, it’s almost as if they had some prior looting experience.
8,
Then I guess there are no more conservatives.
You are what you are. Nobody forced this upon you. You chose this path and pursued it eagerly for decades. As the last four years ought to clearly demonstrate, for most of that time a substantial effort was underway among liberals and Democrats to restrain progressive impulses in order to better make common cause with conservatives and Republicans, but also to beckon conservatives away from this destructive impulse.
You did this to yourselves, despite “third way”, despite the DLC, and despite Democrats giving you a southern Bubba bent on implementing a sweeping police state, eliminating the traditional welfare state, and balancing the budget. If you recall, you thanked him for that by spending hundreds of millions of tax dollars digging through his garbage and soiled undies and impeaching him for a consensual BJ.
At this point, Cat Lady, playing victim or martyr is just an absolutely ridiculous flex for any of you worthless pieces of shit. For five fucking decades the enlightened modern world stood aside patiently waiting for you people to come to your senses, recognize the realities of modernism, and at least accept (if not embrace) a multi-ethnic, multi-racial, multi-cultural modernism that IS our shared future. Instead you spent those decades railing against “Press 1” and conjuring up an obese, flatulent, bankrupted television celebrity racist to define your future for you.
Quit being a bitch and own it.
The rest of Washington is laughing at you, Seattle.

She must be concerned. Very concerned.

15,
You know it’s true. Looking forward now, while looking back, you must surely regret the opportunities you squandered in exchange for the steam rolling you now face.
Eight years ago Democrats handed you a market based health insurance solution modeled precisely after your own presidential nominee’s state plan. You spent the following eight years suing to tear it apart and falling short of the votes in your own majorities to repeal it. Now you are staring at single payer with no way to stop it.
Twenty four years ago Democrats gave you a total restructuring of entitlements that eliminated welfare and replaced it with time limited assistance and systematic state transfers to SSI disability. Red states did nothing to create re-employment and a decade later found themselves permanently saddled with The Greatest Opiate Generation with no way to pay for any of it and no way to turn it around.
Twenty four years ago Democrats gave you eight years of rapid economic growth concentrated at the upper income levels accompanied by budget surpluses. You responded by launching the most expensive forever-war in human history and cutting billionaire taxes to explode the deficit.
Now you get to deal with AOC and Tlaib and “Socialist” Democrats with nowhere to hide and nothing to distract. Your own caucuses have eagerly agreed to purely Keynesian relief in response to your TrumPlague disaster. And the worst part is that so far IT”S WORKING. And everyone can see that too. Your forty years of supply side orthodoxies have been rendered a joke and your own voters are joining in the laughter and begging for more. It’s no longer a debate about whether a deficit. It’s a debate about how much. Twenty four months ago things like “basic income” were weird, fringey concepts debated by trans-gendered Oberlin College Bernie Bros. Now you have to fight it off in committee.
Congratulations.
#youbuiltthat
CBS/YouGov also has PA Biden at 50% 9.
Same poll in late August had Hillary 45% 8
I’m sure, just like 2016, a bunch of those Biden supporters are lying about supporting a home state well-liked long time Senator and Vice-President and 100% of the undecideds are going to break for Donald.
Good luck with that.

Also, a lot fewer undecideds.
Thank Trump, and The Q Clearance Cat Lady for that.
@32
Also not helpful to Sen. Collins is the double digit polling lead Biden has over Trump in ME.
Now there may be a greater number of Biden/Collins voters than Kelly/Trump but are there enough? Maybe if the voters look deeply and have a great conversation with Collins about their concerns she can pull it out.
It’s kind of a perfect storm for Collins. The voters don’t really like her anymore, they really hate the President running for reelection from the same party AND Susan has been a rubber stamp for all of Donald’s excesses for four years.
Not a great environment to stage a big comeback.

She said that.

A late day entry into the polling data.
The poll that got Hillary interested in trying to win Arizona was 5 in early October. Two August polls had her 1 though at 38, 40 and 43% by age indicating would vote for her signals soft support.

@52 “Sell Puerto Rico”
The eBay auction of the century! A bidding war between Russia and China! Iran will be an early dropout. Who will snipe the high bid in the last nanosecond? Who has the fastest, nastiest computers? Stay tuned!
I once sniped an eBay auction in the last 0.01 second of bidding. At first eBay awarded the item to the previous bidder. But after 10 seconds or so — their computer had to think about it — I came up as the winner. That other guy must’ve shit his pants — “whaaa–whaaahappened??” When I cut it that close, I did it as sport; I usually sniped 1 to 3 seconds before the auction ended.
It takes a pathetic individual leading a pathetic life to talk story about an eBay purchase.
Bob is a fuckwad. The horse is twice as smart as him. Great retirement times!! He helped build it, and he keeps stacking new block.
@57 I sniped the snipers. Sounds like you were one of my victims.
Here’s how it worked. Let’s say an item is worth $10 and after several days of bidding the highest bid is $8.75 and eBay raises the bids in 25-cent increments. So if I submit a bid for $10 and nobody else bids, I’ll get it for $9.00, but if somebody else bids $11.00, he’ll get it for $9.25.
Here’s where the real fun starts, and it’s all about psychologically profiling the sniper I suspect is lurking out there, because I don’t want to outbid him. He’d snipe at $25.01 and I’d snipe at $24.99, and now he’s fucked because he just paid $25.01 for a $10 item, and I made some seller very happy. If there was no sniper, I got the item for $9.00. But there usually was.
I hope it was you, Bob. Maybe it was. You sound bitter.

Demorat-China Party Of Hate America, Race War & Make Crime Great Again Bombshell News -Demorat Rule Means Death & Destruction Report – Washington DC Body Count;17-year-old dead, 20 injured.
—————
WASHINGTON — A dispute that erupted into gun fire during a large outdoor party in Washington, D.C., early Sunday left one person dead and some 20 others injured, including an off-duty officer “struggling for her life,” according to police.
Christopher Brown, 17, died in the shooting that occurred after midnight in a southeast side neighborhood where people had gathered for music and food, Peter Newsham, the chief of the Metropolitan Police Department, told reporters.
Police said at least three shooters may have been involved, though no arrests were immediately announced. Newsham said a motive for the shooting wasn’t clear.

Demorat-China Party Of Hate America, Race War & Make Crime Great Again Bombshell News – Demorat Loons Ruin Everything They Touch Report – Ugly Demorat Dingbat Insists 2 + 2 = 4 Is (Of Course) “White Supremacist Patriarchy.”
—————
Brooklyn College Professor of Math Education Laurie Rubel argued this week on Twitter that the mathematical equation 2+2=4 “reeks of white supremacist patriarchy.” Rubel’s tweet was retweeted and promoted by several academics at universities and colleges around the nation.
According to a report by Campus Reform, Brooklyn College Professor Laurie Rubel, who teaches math education, tried to make the case this week that basic math is “white supremacist.” The tweets are part of a larger trend in recent scholarship by American academics, many of which have argued that “objective truth” is a social construct.
“The idea that math (or data) is culturally neutral or in any way objective is a MYTH. I’m ready to move on with that understanding. Who’s coming with me?” Rubel wrote in a tweet.
“Along with the ‘of course math is neutral because 2+2=4’ trope and the related (and creepy) ‘math is pure’ and ‘protect math.’ Reeks of white supremacist patriarchy,” Rubel added. “I’d rather think on nurturing people & protecting the planet (with math in service of them goals).”

Weird that in most media coverage of this story up to a certain point in the day the officer was not IDd as ‘off duty.’ Almost like someone in public affairs was fine with people assuming an officer responding was shot.
Let’s talk about cognitive function again shall we.
“In 1917 they say (eds note, no they don’t) the great, the great pandemic it certainly was a terrible thing (eds note, that happened in 1918) where they lost anywhere from 50-100million people (eds note, historians peg it at 50-60million but what’s 40 million among friends) probably ended the second World War (eds note, 21 years before Hitler invaded Poland? Three years before Hitler was Chancellor, well four if you spot this guy 1917 it ended World War II?) all the soldiers were sick uh it was uh that was uh a terrible situation. “
@67 Personally, I think Biden has better cognitive function than he does. Hell, my cat does. With W you could understand it because he was on drugs. Trump seems to have structural defects of the sort that brings buildings down.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/lindsey-graham-actually-trouble-south-083038620.html
It doesn’t matter what trump says or does. The stupider shit he says, or does the better. It’s all about making the libs react. Nothing more. The base loves it.
76,
I agree. The point of supporting Trump for most of the GOP base is “pwn the libs”. They’ve come to see that avowing support, and agreement with whatever dumbass, nonsensical shit he spews produces a reaction among the media (who they despise) and on popular social media platforms. Over time they’ve seen it demonstrated, they’ve learned the code, and they now embrace it.
Think about early surrogates and spokesmodels arguing with reporters about Trump’s flagrant dishonesty and gaffes. Kellyanne Conway’s “alternative facts”. Sean Spicer defending Hitler in comparison to Assad, or using his first press conference to threaten to punish the press corp if they failed to adopt Trump’s idiotic claims about the size of his inauguration crowd. And onward and downward from there. Each time a momentary reflexive burst of outrage from various “elitist” institutions, and a few days of lively opportunities to “trigger the libs” on social media.
These kinds of utterances and miscues are fodder for a combative rage sport for them. But it can’t be denied that it is also costly. While it may harden and deepen support among sporting partisan assholes like our own Trolls4Trump, it most certainly weakens support among some wavering “shy-Trumpers”, the millions of more traditional GOP voters who held their noses and voted for him anyway. After all, even if you can overlook stupidity like “alternative facts”, how the fuck can any enlightened person, much less any Jew, overlook the White House Press Sec. offering holocaust denial as a way of criticizing Assad (back before it was official GOP policy to admire Assad).
Call it whatever you like. It may produce larger, more colorful, more enthusiastic Rona-Rally crowds for the candidate. But it must also be driving away a great many voters he cannot afford to lose in states like Michigan and Pennsylvania. “The Base” can’t carry him to re-election. I think he is already resigned to this and no longer gives a shit. He’s building his portfolio of aggrievement and resentment to fuel that base afterward. And thus the GOP is transformed into a much smaller, more focused, late night shopping network audience to fuel Trump Family grift.
@ 75
This isn’t from a Huffington Post or Daily Kos article. It’s from Yahoo Finance, not exactly a bastion of leftwing dogma.
No, you absolutely moronic dumbfuck.

In other words, it IS from a bastion of leftwing dogma.
Those errors aside, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit, you’re a fucking clown.
@ 66
Weird that in most media coverage of this story up to a certain point in the day the officer was not IDd as ‘off duty.’ Almost like someone in public affairs was fine with people assuming an officer responding was shot.
That wasn’t my take at all. Both pieces I read mentioned the officer being off-duty up front.
The first one made it seem like the officer was part of the gathering. The second one made it clear that even though he was off-duty he responded to a call for help.
BTW, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit is always fine with an officer being shot. Usually it’s the high point of his miserable day.
Finally, most media did NOT cover this, at least not to the extent that the number of people shot would ordinarily cause. It was the largest mass shooting in the US, this year. If a white guy had pulled a gun and fired around a Wal-Mart and hitting 21 shoppers it would be the story of the day, especially if one of them was a black boy. But it’s black people shooting a lot of black people in DC. So it’s buried. It probably does not help the MSNBC crowd that the dead 17 year-old boy was already a father of one child, with yet another child on the way.
TIL, anything not operated by Jim Hofts or a Murdoch is “a bastion of leftwing dogma”.
Bastion: a projecting defensive fortification or an institution or person strongly defending or upholding a narrow view point.
Dogma: principles imposed by an authorizing in-group or institution upon those over whom the in-group or institution exercises authority.
That time Politico paid a university professor to appear on a 15 minute news segment analyzing 3.2 seconds of video of a Republican to conclude he was making a “terrorist fist jab” gesture.
Think about this every time you see The Q Clearance Cat Lady whining about “overuse” of the word “racist” to describe racists. In general, the media as a global entertainment industry has a conservative bias. Always has. Even when they were going after Nixon for Watergate or covering the “controversy” around police use of force. But a few major media outlets have a manifest partisan bias. And they are all the most conservative.
@ 80
I’m sure that for anyone to the left of Bernie Sanders, most of the world appears conservative.
This morning under questioning from the panel Flynn’s lawyer said that if a district judge indicated he would grant a motion to dismiss but simply wants a hearing first to clarify the background, that mandamus relief would not be warranted and should not be granted.
So that’s going to do two things. First it will persuade a majority of the panel that plaintiff admits there is no reason to grant mandamus relief. Second it clearly indicates what the true purpose of the writ was – to prevent the hearing. Flynn has no clear interest in that. But Barr and the DOJ most certainly do. So Powell has prolonged her client’s legal peril, run up the tab, and ultimately delayed a favorable outcome for her client in order to serve the interest of a third party.
And so now Trump must pardon him. And he will.
I wonder if this makes Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit happy. After all, certainly Chief Best is one of those SPD employees earning @ 53 more than $200,000 per year.

More than time that he is wasting – to his detriment.
Now that is something to laugh about. Hahahahahaha!
Flynn/Sullivan/en banc is being livestreamed here.
At one point during Flynn’s mandamus hearing his lawyer actually responded to a panel question that even in a clear case of bribery, where a prosecutor was paid by def. to move for dismissal, the trial judge would have no choice but to grant.
That’s not just legally and ethically wrong. It is impressive in it’s wrongness. She is not doing well for her client today. It doesn’t appear that she prepared. And I’m not at all convinced that prevailing was ever the point here. To watch one of the most important federal appellant panels used in this fashion for pure political theater is going to piss off quite a few lifetime appointees and leave a lasting bad taste.
Well done, Rapepublicans!
@ 87
I heard that question being asked by one of the judges, a woman. I thought it was being asked of the DOJ attorney, a man.

Two polls out in Georgia today
Survey USA Likely Voters
Biden 48% Donald 44% (online so there’s that)
Monmouth Registered
Biden 51% Donald 41% (small sample size)
For perspective, Hillary led a single poll in GA first week of August 2016 by 5. That was the last time anyone showed her with a lead.
That’s three consecutive polls indicating Donald is going to have to spend a lot of time and money holding Georgia.
Other news, Monmouth’s national general poll pegs Donald at 41% that number hasn’t moved since May. CW would tell you that means there has been no ‘Breaking Through’ to undecided voters nor are events causing a rally round the candidate. Call that the ‘known quantity’ problem Donald didn’t have in 2016.

88,
You’re talking about Jeff Wall.
He answered questions after Powell. At one point he attempted to undo the damage by circling back to that point about prosecutorial misconduct and referenced Fokker, which is the key case cited.*
However, in trying to put distance between DOJ and the craziness coming out of Powell, even Wall more than once conceded that a district judge was empowered to inquire into why a prosecution was dismissed.
So you’ve got plaintiff agreeing that mandamus is not warranted at this point (even though she filed the writ), while attempting to expand Fokker to include a prohibition against inquiry into misconduct. And you’ve got DOJ conceding that under at least some circumstances the district court is empowered to inquire as well.
*In Fokker the DC Circuit vacated a district court order and directed the district court judge to grant a motion for extended time and a DPA. The record demonstrated that the district court judge disagreed with the DOJ’s decision to offer the DPA. The DC wrote that “the ‘leave of court’ authority gives no power to a district court to deny a prosecutor’s Rule 48a motion to dismiss charges based on a disagreement with the prosecution’s exercise of charging authority.”

BLM has turned into an organization of radical destroyers of property and looters. Now, some of these criminals are saying they are “owed” the things these “people” are destroying and stealing.
Well, Soros, you’re getting your money’s worth.

At what point did Sullivan inquire into the DOJ misconduct WRT Flynn?
I do not recall him having any interest at all in the inappropriate behavior demonstrated by the FBI. I certainly may be misremembering.

The point of supporting Trump for most of the GOP base is “pwn the libs”
That’s been the principle of the entire Trump enterprise. From day one Cabinet appointments appeared to have been made by googling for people who most infuriated liberals and appointing them to positions for which they were incredibly unqualified.
Ben Carson – HUD
Rex Tillerson – SOS
Sessions – AG
Zinke – Interior
Pruitt – EPA
And the list of ambassadors is long.
@ 27, 29, 33
Since AZ was brought up by someone else upthread, I thought it was worthwhile to mention a couple of things:
1. McSally/Kelly Senate
In May Kelly was up 13 points. Now he’s up 5 points. He’s now also under 50%, first time since March he’s dropped below that level.
2. Trump/Biden
Trafalgar has Trump up 46.2 – 44.8. And in the RCP poll average Biden’s AZ lead has narrowed to only 2.2%.
I have no point to make other than we’re still a long way out from November. And, I suppose, that the existing wall is being fortified and new wall is going up along the southern border, just like Trump promised.
Enjoy your lead, Cz-252. I remember what a great time you had the day before the 2016 election. You must be giddy this year.
Giddy about Joe Biden.
102,
That was the point of Sullivan’s order for hearings that resulted in Powell’s writ – to clarify “inconsistencies” in the DOJ’s presentation and filings before the court. Hearings that would be avoided by a grant of mandamus.
Playing dumb works for you guys. But only amongst yourselves.
Much being made of the DNC speaker schedule. Kamala Harris is slotted for night 4. The VP nominee traditionally speaks on night 3.

Could be true, could also be sample size of a single poll by a single pollster.
The poll referenced yesterday has double the sample size and has Kelley at 50% 10.
Which one is right? We don’t know but what we can say is right now Kelly/Biden have an outside the MOE lead in both races.
If I were a professional at this I might look at a few things.
The LatinX population of Arizona, though that includes migrant and undocumented workers is 31%. 24% of Arizona voters self ID as LatinX The poll is 15% Latino. Arizona party registration is 35% R, 32%D, 32%I. The poll is 40%R, 33%D, 26%I.
Now maybe they did the statistical analysis right on some of the stranger demographics of responders. But maybe not.
Concern for Kelly, sure. Consultants and campaign staff freaking out, no.
I’m not a ‘shewed poll’ conspiracy theorist but in a phone poll the data depends on who answers and then a subset of who answers and takes the poll. Sometimes you get more people from one group on the phone until you reach your target response rate. it just happens. A larger sample size flattens out (see what I did there) the effect of getting more of one demographic that doesn’t necessarily reflect the full electorate.
What OPR seems to have generated on this survey is a sample that is more white and more GOP than you would expect in a general election in AZ.

@78 “a bastion of leftwing dogma”
If you mean left of your fav reading material, I suppose so. For normal people,
“In a 2007 opinion piece, progressive watchdog group Media Matters for America accused Politico of having a ‘Republican tilt.’ A 2012 study found that the percentage of Politico readers who identify as Democrats — 29% — is equal to the percentage who identify as Republicans.”

And when interpreting these statistics, you’ve gotta remember only a small percentage of knuckledraggers read.
@79 “Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit is always fine with an officer being shot.”
This, ladies and gentlemen, is a dumbfuck’s interpretation of me not being fine with black children being shot by cops and white vigilantes. I’m not perturbed, because I understand we’ve gotta make allowances for dumbfucks. They can’t help their dumbfuckery. It’s who they are.

IVR phone polls like that have some issues. Partly it’s a matter of how the pollster adjust for that. And partly it’s a matter of the pollster’s “likely voter” model. This movement is expected as polls shift from “registered” to “likely”. Public polling of most races in most years tightens as the “likely voter” model is applied. And historically that shift favors Republicans because the models more than anything skew toward older voters.
Needs to be mentioned that this is The Q Clearance Cat Lady once again performing a shirtless, hip thrusting end-zone dance in a state and race that favors the GOP and has from the start. If McSally, the incumbent is doing less shitty as election day draws closer that is not exactly cause for GOP celebration.
So I say let him.
Arizona is a TrumPlague ShitShow right now. The body pile is going to explode in the next couple of weeks. Could have a sobering effect. And even on election day it’s going to be nuts. Something like 85% of Biden voters say they will vote by mail. While something like 85% of Trumpalos say they will vote in person. So all the decision desk jornos are going to be under enormous pressure to call these races early based on the in-person counts.
@81 I suppose I’d have to agree with you there. I must look to them like a greedy, grasping, money grubbing capitalist, indistinguishable from you if they’re not paying attention to fine details.
BEACH WEEK! Part 747,020
@82 I remember when lawyers were disbarred for that. I guess they don’t do that anymore for fear of being accused of partisan bias, because the GOP would have no lawyers if they did.
@83 “Chief Best is one of those SPD employees earning @ 53 more than $200,000 per year.”
Heh. Dumbfuck should’ve been a cop. They make more than doctors, and it doesn’t take years of education.
“364 Seattle Police Department (SPD) employees made over $200,000 in 2019, and 1,326 Seattle officers made at least 6 figures, Forbes reported Tuesday. The top 10 highest paid officers made between $304,417 and $414,543.”

They blew past that norm months ago. Today we saw senior ranking members of one of the most significant appellate panels throwing shade at the Acting SJ, appellant counsel, and even some of their own fellow judges. Palpable levels of frustration and disgust seldom seen outside the 9th under Kozinski.
This is leaving an impression. And it’s one Trump himself can ill-afford. His attorneys are going to be spending a lot of time in years to come arguing in front of these people.
@119
Arizona is a ‘received by’ state so the counts there don’t take the kind of time and patience as here in WA.
I will always say “postmarked by” is better until someone decided to F with the postal service and change which items get postmarked and when for so many reasons.
Example, GOP candidate strangled his wife the day before the election. To be certain a ballot was received by election day on Tuesday mailing on Saturday or earlier is prudent. Then he strangled his wife on Monday. Can’t change your vote.
@85 “he’s wasting his time”
Not at all. What he does here is an extremely valuable service to society.

I’m not entirely sure why African American Democrats supported Biden in the numbers they did while black democrats were still in the race.
But how often and to what audiences will Kamala Harris bring up Howard University on the campaign trail.
How’s that “getting a bigger share of the black vote” going for Donald?
Joe-d’Mentia (formerly known as Joe-Mentum) picked the whitest black woman he could find. Of course, she’s of Indian and Jamaican descent (“You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.” Jd’M).
Com’n woMan!, “take a walk on the wild side“, ‘your hair smells sweet and you’re soft hands petting my legs will set me atingle’.

@142 “the whitest black woman he could find”
No doubt that was foremost in Biden’s mind while checking boxes.
In your mind, that is. Nothing better illustrates the low-powered mental functioning of simpletons like you. You’re to average IQ as Ford is to skateboards. The existence of people like you explains how a Republican Party like today’s GOP is even possible.
Lemme get this straight:
Puerto Rican-heritage voters in FL @ 137 are gonna tell Puerto Rican-heritage voters in AZ @ 133 not to vote for McSally? And that will make the difference, in a state whose LatinX residents are overwhelmingly of Mexican heritage?
Really? That’s your argument?
Emerson has Biden up by only 3 in MN, 50-47.
MOE? It’s 3.6%.
Gee. I wonder what might have happened in MN recently that could explain this tightening of the race in that state.
@141 “I’m not entirely sure why African American Democrats supported Biden in the numbers they did while black democrats were still in the race.”
He didn’t throw their kids in jail for skipping school. And other reasons. Like Clyburn. And the fact Biden has championed black caucuses longer than anyone can remember, and loyalty matters in politics. Trump has no loyalty to anyone, and it shows in his polls.
In any case, with VP picks, it’s not so much who supports them as who they turn off, which is why Bernie and Warren were never really in the running and Bass (think Florida) wasn’t likely to get it.
@146 And here’s Dumbfuck dripping sweat beads on polls. We all know what polls mean: not much. Far more interesting is when diehard South Carolinians who’ve been voting Republican all their lives tell James Clyburn they can’t stand their party anymore and will vote Democrat for the first time, suggesting even red states are in play.

By the time the Iowa caucus was held there were no black Democrat candidates in the race. Harris had dropped out in 2019 and Booker quit on January 13th.
Booker and Harris never had black support during the early primary season.
Booker is a clown. He had his Spartacus moment, which outed him as unserious. Sort of a YLB but with an IQ in three digit territory.
And Harris? Well, don’t listen to me about Harris. Listen to this woman:
I didn’t say that. She did.
@145
Nope. LatinX media in Florida is going to play up a GOP Senator who thinks Puerto Rico should continue under colony status forever because TEAM R needs the wins! (Fuck your representation. Pay your taxes!)
There’s local politics and then there’s National branding. The GOP is the brand for racists. The GOP is the brand for letting PR wither and die. The GOP is the brand that can’t get relief to an island. The GOP doesn’t want PR equality.
Yeah. Oh yeah. This’ll lock up the black vote for Democrats.

Still wondering why you think that LatinX media IN A STATE THAT DOES NOT HAVE A US SENATE ELECTION IN 2020 will have any substantial 2020 influence in Arizona, a state that has millions and millions and millions of residents with Mexican heritage.
You seem to think that Puerto Rican-Americans and Mexican-Americans think alike. Maybe you didn’t hear Joe Biden last week, touting the diversity of the LatinX community. According to ol’ Joe it’s the black community that is monolithic and sheeplike in its political behavior.
Donald J. Trump donated $6000 to Kamala Harris when she was running for CA AG and Ivanka donated $1000

I have 29 reasons why what Florida’s PR population thinks about the GOP and it’s leadership is important in 2020.

Poll projection bullshit.
GOP/Trump2020 has been over performing in MN since the first of the year. They should. They’ve spent more than anyone. Recent shift reflects poll shift from “reg” to “likely”. So The Cat Lady is doing about the same.
July 28, LV Biden +3
May 24, RV Biden +5
etc.
Summary of Trump’s press conference today:
“President Trump, your campaign seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular?”
And
“President Trump, Kamala Harris: the worst, or just worse than most others?”
I suspect for largely the same reasons nobody else did other than Biden. And probably for the same reasons that outside of NH, Iowa, and NV, nobody other than Biden had much support from anyone.
Biden wasn’t electrifying, did not dominate in any debate, and wasn’t the media darling. But he was safe. And in the primaries it appears that was the quality most sought after by a majority of voters whatever their “identity”.
It’s a blind spot for most of these modern conservatives who have been scratching their heads for decades over “The Blacks”. African American’s voting behavior is about as diverse as their other qualities. The Cat Lady still imagines “slums teaming with Negro broken homes” and “GimmeeGimmee Welfare Queen Cadillacs” defining the African American electorate.
Say what you will about the NYT but they are pretty staid with their language and style so seeing them throw shade in the election results…

Kamala Harris has some explaining to do because last year said she believes Biden’s accusers.
“I believe them and I respect them being able to tell their story and having the courage to do it,” Kamala Harris said in April 2019 at a presidential campaign event in Nevada.
In March of this year, a woman named Tara Reade accused her former boss then-Senator Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her in 1993.
Reade said in 1993, then-Senator Joe Biden pushed her up against the wall and penetrated her with his fingers.

Rollin’ on to a second term in an insanely large turnout for a primary.
On the other side, the combined total of Republican votes was about 11,000. Compare to 2018 when 16,000 Republicans came out in an off year.
Along will come dumbfuck to say something about tightening polls and engaged electorate and MN flipping.
WAIT! Has she shouted her abortion(s), yet???
He missed a box!
In Portland? Day 71 of a riot and counting
Yeah, peaceful protests…
You are a joke!
Puddy still living free in the smaller than a Planck sized mind yellowishleakingbuttspigot
The Planck length is smaller at 1.616229(38) x 10^-35 meters and represents the smallest distance of 2 locations. Anything shorter than the Planck length is consider as being in exactly the same location. Hence the less than Planck sized mind of the yellowishleakingbuttspigot!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
BIG YAAAWWWN!
179,
She ain’t no Sarah Palin either.
Toot! Toot!
Palin’s abortions have their own reality shows.
Toot! Toot!

180,
The irony is GOP pacs pouring money into a primary to build turnout among voters they need to suppress.
Classic Trump!
I can tell you something else that’s visually striking if you’re comparing NBA and NHL.

Somehow Puddy remembers when Harris called Joe BiteME! a segregationalist lover.
Thems her words!
People accusing Joe BiteME! of being handsy, dicksy and other actions.

Oh! I wonder, does the Checked Box still believe Biden’s accusers?
Oh! How will the Checked Box handle her daddy’s confession, Reflections of a Jamaican Father detailing their family owning slaves?
A research archive of Jamaican records indicate that at one point in 1817, Hamilton Brown owned scores of slaves. The majority were brought in from Africa, though he also owned many Creole slaves.”
Heh. teh babblin’ poophole is konfused…
Never mentioned the idiot in this thread..
Awwwww.. It’s miffed?
Remember when congressional dummocretins were against schools opening in the fall? Well now they are looking foolish attacking Trump all those months ago!
Remember when Puddy brought up the Andrew Cuomo comments on rich people fleeing NYC and the moronic twit dot bomb attacked Puddy for choosing specific links? Well it seems Puddy was ahead of the curve AGAIN! Now why is that? Because Puddy reads between the lines and sees dummocretin trends when those who claim to be “erudite” dummocretins miss their nose in spite of their ugly mugs!
Usually dummocretins are almost always on the wrong side on an issue!

Uh oh. . . Joe D’Mentia: a pander box FAIL. . .
How proud you loud DemonRats must be:
Shout your riot, DemonRats, You own it.
Of course, the cowardly crickets won’t rub their legs. . .
@187
Hurry hurry hurry
Step right up.
See the babbling biped
You’ll not believe your eyes.
He’ll ignore the first sentence all together.
Back up kid you’re bothering me
Step right up and for a thin dime watch the twisty man turn his spine 426 degrees.
Now compare two political rivals having a public disagreement and then working together.
Contrast with:
‘That big idiot” Bolton.
“Not mentally qualified” Jeff Sessions
“Way over his head” John Kelly
“Weak Person and bad lawyer” Michael Cohen
“Cried and begged for his job” Steve Bannon
“Highly unstable” Anthony Scaramucci
“Dumb as a rock” Rex Tillerson
I could go on but adults can work through things. Petulant small minded children lash out.
New York’s richest people have fled during the lockdowns. If their kids’ tony public schools
stooooopid…. what rich person (the “richest” in particular) sends their kid to public school?
Author is an idiot.. If NY is opening up schools it’s because they’ve gotten the virus under control..
Deaths are at an over 1000 deaths per day clip across the country.. Been that way for a long time… New York State is down to ….
4 -7 of those…

MORONIC HACK WORK!
The Q TARAAAAAAAA!!!!! conspiracy lives again!
In this version of the parasitic conspiracy eating their brains, an intern with multiple theft, forgery, and fraud warrants, who forged credentials to gain employment and now faces a possible prison term accuses the candidate of finger banging her knuckle deep through her pantyhose in the middle of the work day in one of the busiest public corridors on earth.
YOU BETCHA! WINK! WINK! (finger gun)
BENGHAAAAZIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tony Public Schools is a famous Luchador.
I think.
No wait. That’s not it.
Tony Public Schools is a character from The Sopranos.
Killed off in season 3. Dated Janice.
No wait. That’s not it.
Tony Public Schools was a beloved children’s breakfast cereal cartoon character from the 1960s.
Killed off in season 3. Dated Janice (who didn’t?)
Federalist has the pulse on NYC. If you touch Schumer’s debunked quote you can count the beats.
Once again Piddles, who claims to know a bunch about NYC fails to grasp why people who live there choose to live there. And if they’re wealthy enough they have a vacation home outside the city.
Not sure if Piddles grasps the psychology of a true New Yorker at all. Especially the park Avenue ones who don’t even want to be seen on the Westside. Must not know any real Manhattanites.
Quick quiz. What state are the Hamptons?
“Quick quiz. What state are the Hamptons?”
The state of liberal progressive idiocy.
@201 Follow up..
What kind of school, private or public did Ken Starr client Jeffrey Epstein work as a school teacher?
Extra credit: who hired Epstein?
Well, apparently “liberal progressive idiocy” includes the second most valuable residential zip code in the United States.
But no Cracker Barrel.
Aaaaaahhhh yes the yellowishleakingbuttspigot BIG YAAAWWWN! and dot bombed didn’t visit the Federalist story so they didn’t click the link under “tony public schools“! Once again they are as stoooooooopid as evah. If they took the time they would have realized the link took them to
Butt, being two stooooooooooooooooooopid dummocretin morons they missed the big picture as Puddy wrote above. Andrew Cuomo recognized this and yet dot bombed is still “clueless“, comparing it to the Mexican heritage wrestler Óscar Gutiérrez Rubio. The yellowishleakingbuttspigot did get something right, the rich don’t send their kids to regular public schools, butt didn’t click the link to really find out just what was being said based on the rest of the BULLSH^TTIUM left in post@195. If the yellowishleakingbuttspigot read the article, it would have read how Cuomo said on July 13th about DiBlasio’s NYC school opening statements
This is why you now have two morons that are posting worthless SH^T every day in every thread. Proving Puddy Prescience each day.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Hey BeerPong@194,
Did Mike Pence say anything about Donald Trump in 2015 when Trump chose to run in 2016 like Kamala Harris said about Joe BiteME! in 2019 now that BiteME! is running in 2020?
Another post of false equivalences! DAYUM you are tooooooo stooooooooooooopid too.
EPIC FAYLE and train wreck #249,240,282,987,256,143 and counting!
The Prosecution Rests Your Honor! Seems Mike Rogers has kept BeerPong as drunk as evah.
@205
I must have missed Mike Pence running for president…
Or being in a Presidential debate…
Or not being a creepy scared of women evangelical…
or not trusting his own ability to not jut be all up on her like a dog if he found himself in a room alone with a woman who wasn’t his wife….
Figure out in what state Manhattanites who move to the Hamptons permanently pay their taxes?
Marymount School moving so the rich kids can get their tony education elsewhere?
There you go again BeerPong with train wreck #249,240,282,987,256,144.
Did John Bolton. Jeff Sessions John Kelly Michael Cohen Steve Bannon Anthony Scaramucci or Rex Tillerson run against Trump in 2016? NOPE you DOPE! Yet you used Trump’s comments against them. You are totally in the wrong ballpark again BeerPong!
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeesh you really are a piece of dummocretin stooooooooooooooooooopidity!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
