Welcome to USPol General, Fall of 2020 edition. This is the thread for discussing the US news and politics in general. I am, inexplicably, the thread IK. Herstory, the_steve, and Endorph are roaming IKs and this is part of their beat. Thread rules: All standard D&D rules apply. In addition, ---The US General Election, the candidates therein, and debates about who to vote for have their own thread here, so that discussion of them doesn't completely drown out everything else. ---Posting about gun control was long relegated to it's own thread because of the toxicity surrounding the issue. Posting about guns and gun control is now allowed in this thread, but make a special effort to post well; poor gun posting carries heavier penalties than normal. In particular don't call other goons violent psychopaths because they own guns, and don't call other goons cowardly victims-to-be because they don't own guns. There is also a dedicated gun control thread. ---Try to stay on topic. Goons love to post about food and video games in every thread, but unless it's related to US politics, try to keep it to a minimum. This thread also sometimes has lengthy discussions of minutiae that is tangentially related to US politics, like obesity and food policy or vaping health risks and regulations. These are allowed and, if you have any particular expertise, effortposts on these topics are encouraged. ---Don't post lovely political opinions from random unimportant people without commentary. That sort of thing belongs in the Right Wing Media thread or Conservative Email Forwards/Facebook Posts thread. ---Glee about mass death is discouraged, even if it's mass death of Trump voters. ---Do not challenge other users to toxx. If you do so, you will automatically be toxxed to the opposite outcome, regardless of if the challenge is accepted. ---Reminder that if you do not wish to read a particular poster's posts anymore, you can always use the ignore function. Other USPol Related Threads ---GOONPAC Activism Thread ---The State/Local Politics Thread ---The SCOTUS Thread ---Political Cartoons  DOOMTRAIN RULE If you say a bad thing about someone's dog in here, you're getting probated!!

I talked about Mel Carnahan in the polling thread, which is the only comparable situation I can think of, and it's not even that comparable.

Cefte posted:vertical social distancing surely I'm always struck by how dated that picture is. Like, Baron Harkonnen is supposed to be fantastically, impossibly fat. So fat he can't even move without special magic technologies that levitate bits of his body around. And then he's in the movie and there are about 1,000 daytime TV programs you could flick to, each of which contain real people who are triple the size of the fattest dude this filmmaker could imagine.

Has Trump picked out the location of his presidential library as of yet? ‘Cause he may be headed there sooner than he expected.

Who would even want to move into that biohazard of a White House at this point? Biden should just raze it and rebuild.
