If trump still wins with all that I don’t really much see the point of the union anymore.

One of the (many) things I do not understand about American journalists is why they put up with this poo poo and don't stick up for one another when a reporter is punished by a powerful public figure for telling the truth like this. Accepting this weakens them all.

Brain damage actually follows something called "The Flintstone Rule" so if someone's personality changes because of a brain injury then another similar brain injury will fix it. I wrote my thesis on this.

Being a horrible person means your brain is broken and breaking it more isn't going to fix it. more precisely, all the things that make you a decent person is your frontal lobe stifling your more animal instincts. if your frontal lobe goes, welp those aren’t stifled anymore. if the other parts go, well you forgot how to breathe or something else like that so it is sort of an academic exercise if you have become nicer or not

If any of you missed the town hall Jess had for this forum the other night, she's going to take questions while Twitch streaming a D&D fundraiser this evening, and she has Monday Q&As on Facebook at 7:30 PM EDT. She's really good at answering hard questions that virtually no other politician would answer, and frankly, the whole ethos of the campaign is that as good as she is, she's ultimately a politician now and deserves heavy scrutiny, so ask anything. https://twitter.com/JessforDelaware/status/1256605610562531329

Push El Burrito posted:I made a joke to someone yesterday that "it's weird to be happy that someone is wearing a mask when they walk into your business" and they agreed but apparently cops aren't up to that now. I wish I had taken a picture, but about three weeks ago the local 7/11 pup up a hand written sign that said, "YOU CAN NOT ENTER WITHOUT A MASK" and then two weeks after that took down the photocopied sign next to it with a picture of a black man in a hoodie and face mask that read, "Absolutely no entry with your face covered in any way."

Journalists sometimes probably don’t stick up for other journalists because it’s one less competitor on the beat.

Jon Benjamin’s tweet is probably too clever by half. People generally know he’s awesome, though. Considering his industry, though, most his friends probably have more than one Jewish friend

Trump will probably be secretly quite pleased to lose. He doesn't have to do a job he hates any more and can go back to golfing, grifting and pointless twitter fights. Plus he can attribute his loss to the evil Chinese stealing the election by deliberately releasing a bioweapon, which was the only way to stop him the greatest president ever, from winning. So unfair! etc etc.

PhazonLink posted:its only possible in the since that there no physic law that says its impossible. like on a long enough timeline bewteen now and proton halflife decay, it can happen >0 times. No. The odds of a quintillion monkeys producing Hamlet over the lifetime of the universe is something like 10^275,000 to one against. And the odds of sudden macroscopic entropy reversal are similarly stupid numbers. Like it's definitely possible for all the air in your bedroom to end up in the upper right corner, but the probability against that happening is a number that makes the proton half-life look puny.

We are barely going into month 3 at this and armed protesters are drat near taking over statehouses, are you serious? I'm not even pushing Bernie at this point, I'm simply saying that trading one dementia ridden idiot for another does nothing for our situation. If the dems realized this and switched out Biden (which they definitely can -- after all, they pulled strings and closed ranks around him to make him the presumptive nominee in the first place) for someone who actually has a working brain on their shoulders (again, even Hillary), that could actually handle things when food gets scarce and we are in a second wave and the economy hasn't bounced back and unemployment is 30%, I might actually vote for them. Because seriously, things are getting worse by the day and people are growing more and more dispirited and desperate and the dems are offering ABSOLUTELY loving NOTHING for them right now, not even stability. Yes, this situation has broken me enough to start pushing for loving Hillary. I'll take general uncaring contempt over Syria at this point.

It's been extremely noticeable and is incredibly easy to tie to him in the election. Whether that will be enough for South Carolina that love them some Republicans I don't know but it's there to use.

I do love the optimism from some people that think somehow having the man running the country be a confused,old rapist in a blue coat will be so much better than a confused old rapist in a red coat. Now, if the dems actually wanted to win and end up running Hillary or Cuomo or Michelle Obama, they will win and the country will be run better, but gently caress if that will actually happen.
