Here's a fun game. Imagine you're some sort of financial professional. You're aware that, due to basic game theory, if you're selling or buying commodities or stock, it's because you've under or overestimated the risk. But you're also aware that everyone else is also aware of this. But you don't want to just sit there because you're either putting yourself at risk for bankruptcy or leaving a pile of money on the table.

Now imagine your decision is based on accurately judging how full of poo poo a Trump Tweet is.

This is a trick question, they are always full of poo poo. In fact I would say you could more reliably judge the truth value of a Trump Tweet by assuming the literal opposite of its content is true.

YTD is ~2%, up 4% from this time last year. Not great but not "They Sky is Falling!" territory either. And as you can see it's up nearly 50% from 3 years ago.

The accusation stuff was there to scare him and I guess his family thought better of it for their sake. That being said clean up your accounts with your clients first then worry about your ambitions. It’s not a good look.

Nope! I'm saying that politico piece was an advertisement for Donna Brazile's book. All the staffing stuff and debt agreements at the DNC do not make the primaries, which were conducted under state law, rigged.

Do we want to accept Donna Brazile's word on whether the primary was rigged or fair? Cause if you and Vital wanna do that, I'm 100% down with doing that.

She published the proof it was rigged dude.

This statement is basically "ok well if we define rigging as only changing votes and exclude buying unfair advantages for a party insider with control of the process and clearing the deck of other potential rivals then it wasn't rigged" in much the same way Kemp's election in Georgia wasn't rigged because he didn't physically change votes and hey despite all the unfair advantages he abused his power to give himself, notionally it wasn't actually physically impossible for Abrams to win anyway so it wasn't stolen right?

Aren't there laws about covering up a hack? Okay, they might not apply here since the republicans aren't customers of the republican national committee, but if the hackers got access to the donors database...

I feel really weird defending the RNC but considering it's an ongoing investigation it's extremely likely that their vendors and the FBI all recommended that they don't share any details until they have a clear picture of what was compromised, how it was compromised, and what data was actually taken. At best your making it harder to catch the hacker by tipping them off and causing a panic when you actually don't know what was taken. At worst you are opening your platform to further attacks because you haven't fully discovered and fixed the ways hackers got into your system.

So you agree with what you want to pretend Donna Brazile said when it scores points for you, but otherwise disregard what she actually said.

She published proof that Clinton has power in the DNC, which did not run state primaries.

Do you have any evidence that Clinton did anything even approaching the voter suppression that Kemp did? Cause if not it's a pretty gross comparison. Kemp had power in the Georgia government, which actually did run the Georgia election.

the mass purging of voter rolls based on random markers that vary by state and state, such as in NY, often with insufficient warning and notice, is literally how Kemp did his poo poo too and just like Kemp it was designed to prevent any non-entrenched figure winning.

Because they see her as a genuine threat and a portent into the possible future of the DNC. It’s because she is genuine and enthusiastic about her beliefs and not a sellout.

It honestly doesn't matter who the Dem ends up running. Whoever it is will have two years of a (hopefully super) majority that they will need to use to bust rear end actually doing poo poo that better's people's lives. Basically the Dems will have exactly that much time to prove they are what people want.

I do not envy the next Dem to take office. They will have a lot of damage to undo to contend with, along with an absolute requirement to make average people's lives better.

There ain’t t gonna be a supermajority if Dems win in 2020. At best there will be a bare senate majority and a decent house one.
