Cugel the Clever posted:Uhh, is there a specific tidbit of info you want to get across? I wasn't exactly asking the thread who she is. Karen Bass is one of those politicians that *appears* to not be hyper-ambitious, so she's been fine with being a California Representative for ~10 years. When your aspirations aren't national, you think local, and you do a lot of things that turn out to be mistakes in the long-term. Mistakes like giving speeches / praising Scientology in your district, plus working with a Castro-leaning group long in the past. These are complete and utter nothingburgers when you're a Representative from California. They're real Problems everywhere else if you're suddenly on the shortlist for a national position like VP.

Alrighty, time for a diversion. Donnie shitcanned a particular USAID appointee yesterday, a woman who was even too nuts for the administration.

Imma keep posting some diversions just to break up the boomlets. So, Kanye! It's basically clear that Republicans are basically trying to escort Kanye into getting onto the ballot of as many random states as they can (GOP staffers, lawyers, etc.). It was pretty harmless (like Arkansas), but it got serious when he put in for Wisconsin yesterday. Wisconsin requires that you provide 2,000 signatures in a petition to get on the third party ballot. There were a bunch of reports of signature-collectors at supermarkets and stuff, but Kanye submitted 377 pages of signatures at the deadline - 10 signatures per page. That means he probably got plenty above the 2,000 signatures and will definitely https://twitter.com/OldBullTV/status/1291074699523432448?s=19 something!

Early indication is that it's related to his bullshit that he pulled as part of the Arizona Mall Looting/Riot. But that doesn't really explain the SWAT team that basically came to execute the search. There were also "guns" that were confiscated as part of the raid, but they also might just be airsoft guns. Basically, we don't know poo poo yet.

bengy81 posted:RE: COVID Not quite - those are the doses that the government have bought and are being actively produced *now*, even though we have no idea that the particular vaccine works. Essentially, the government is buying a gazillion doses of the unproven vaccine in a gamble. If the vaccine works, we've got millions of doses ready! If the vaccine doesn't work, well gently caress we just wasted a gazillion dollars on a vaccine that doesn't work and we need to make the money printer go brrrrrr again. If the government waited for a vaccine to be proven, then ordered the doses, we would be dramatically behind as your situation mentioned. The vaccine makers won't crank out millions of unproven vaccine doses unless they're paid for in advance, so we've provided that "downside guarantee". Once a vaccine gets officially certified as good, then the money flood REALLY starts and then the supply chain of everything from needles to vials will get slammed.

CBJSprague24 posted:I see we're to the point in this year's campaign where Trump employs the "throw it up and see what sticks, no matter how mindless" phase. The best analysis I've seen is that Donnie can't think strategically, so he was just going to run a "react to whatever and live off the land" campaign based on what happens during said campaign. Then came COVID, so there's barely a campaign, not much is happening, and the campaign isn't really all that exciting. But, there are still grifters to pay and cable news hours to fill, so Donnie's photoshopping Biden into mailers and yelling about how Biden's going to ATTACK AND DETHRONE GOD or whatever. Biden's gaffes can't even really stick in the public mind when Donnie's yelling YO SEMITES on the daily. https://twitter.com/KevinMKruse/status/1291436917117026305?s=19 Their overall campaign message is basically "wat" Edit: incidentally since he was squinting so hard, he likely couldn't read the speech (that he didn't pre-read), thus the nonsense God stuff when he got lost facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 20:37 on Aug 6, 2020 |

The Executive Order is written like poo poo. I *think* it means that people can't deal with Tencent if it's in relation to WeChat. If it's dealing with Tencent for anything else, it's likely fine. But, that's vague as all gently caress. Buzzfeed disagrees with me: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonwells/trump-signs-tiktok-executive-order quote:The order also bans transactions with WeChat, a Chinese social networking app and its parent company Tencent, which has investments in American video game developer Epic Games, which makes Fortnite. https://twitter.com/dvcky_/status/1291553628751147009

There's definitely no deal for a fifth coronavirus bill - Democrats wanted $3.4T and came down, the White House wanted $1T and won't move, and that's that. Donnie's people are convinced he can executive order unemployment benefits and an eviction moratorium extension, so this should be a fun clusterfuck. Democrats actually held out for once! Republicans are absolutely adamant at not helping Donnie get reelected, basically, and Trump is adamant about not funding states/localities/elections. RIP.

The only people who are gonna vote for him are old dudes that think his name is KAYNE, and think that "He has some pretty good ideas about religion and politics." Here's general analysis on the "Kanye Vote": https://twitter.com/tbonier/status/1291839237747347456 quote:There is polling data on West from May 2018, when he famously met with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office wearing a red Make America Great Again hat. Then, only 23 percent of Americans had a favorable opinion of him, and 53 percent had an unfavorable opinion. However, among Republicans, West broke even: 35 percent had a favorable opinion of him and 35 percent did not. By contrast, he was deeply unpopular with Democrats, 12 percent of whom had favorable opinion and 67 who did not. And it is unlikely that the events of recent days have improved his standing with Democrats. Veepstakes news!
