    Maybe you should follow sources who are more honest than Cernovich then, if you're going to rely on someone else's one sentence interpretation of an article.

    The numbers aren't down this year. GR Horn's interpretation is (unsurprisingly) misleading. The article is about convention viewership numbers on the big 3 traditional networks being down. If you add in people watching online and on cable news, the numbers watching are up. According to GR Horn's article, 47.5 M watched this year. 36.4 M watched last time.

    I wonder what percentage of people get their news from ABC, NBC, and CBS, as opposed to cable networks and the internet. It could well be due to cord cutting and younger electorate. Edit to add: I read the article, and I was right. Internet viewership of the convention is way up.

    Actually I think this is somewhat of a big thing. It's emblematic of them using the people's property for their own personal gain.

    Lovely. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-new-jersey-lawsuit/trump-campaign-sues-new-jersey-after-its-decision-to-mail-ballots-in-november-election-idUSKCN25F0B4 The re-election campaign of U.S. President Donald Trump has sued New Jersey, following a decision on Friday by its Democratic governor to mail a ballot to every voter in the state for November’s elections, as well as hold in-person voting amid the coronavirus pandemic.

    I wrote it unclearly--"They" referred to immigration detainees. This is different than before when they could just get additional vegetables/sides in the cafeteria, and just skip the meat when it was pork. It's now prepackaged, and the detainees have no choice in what food they are served. Those running the facility should have Halal, or at the very least non-pork or even vegetarian, options available. This is disgraceful.

    They are serving them pre-plated meals now. They can't get other items, non-meat or otherwise, to replace the pork.

    And they're still dismantling processing equipment, at least in Michigan. Shocked that a member of the trump administration lied to us.

    The cruelty is the point.

    About the only good thing to come out of Covid, is that I can't imagine we're doing the big family dinner, and I won't have to listen to my Trumpy uncle who never shuts up about politics.

    If it’s not illegal everywhere it should be. While I’m sure you and ChiTown would do great with this initiative, it would be way too easy for Republicans to act like in that actual voter fraud case in NC. What would stop Trumpy “volunteers” from picking up ballots in the cities and destroying them? We need to find a way to get ballot boxes in places where ballots can be dropped off without USPS, and make sure that everyone can drop their own ballots in those boxes.
  12. lemonlime
    I'm not sure you could actually deliver a ballot for a stranger. But organizing driving people to polling locations or where ever there is a drop box for ballots in your state would be doable. I also wonder if there are possibilities for additional drop boxes for ballots. Say, bringing your ballot to city hall (or in Chicago your ward office), and make the city responsible for delivering the ballot.

    Holy shit. I thought it was a joke.

    Also, Invanka, Jr., and Eric. But they don't give a fuck about facts or their own hypocrisy.
  15. lemonlime
    Ok. Didn't think so. But they should. And if you live in a state that does that, taking a photo of you mailing the ballot makes sense, and as documentary evidence if it's not received.
  16. lemonlime
    I have no idea whether TX does this, but in my state we recently had a vote by mail election, and you could log into the Board of Elections website and confirm that your ballot was received and accepted.

    Playing the greatest hits.

    Fair enough. I could see Warren as someone who could make some bold policy changes. I still think someone like Yates or Bharara, known for integrity, would send a good signal about cleaning house from the politicization of the DOJ.
  19. lemonlime
    Yates was already Deputy Attorney General, the second highest position in the AG's office, and briefly acting AG. And Bharara was the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. I'm not sure why you think they're "average attorneys."
  20. lemonlime
    Why not just hold the seat? Maybe position her for majority leader. There are lots of other people who would be great at AG. Off hand, Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, or Adam Schiff.

    FFS, is there a reason you keep having to bring up a woman "drafting off her husband"? Can't you just teach your daughters that they live in a world where they can accomplish things and be independent if they want to and make their own ways? It's possible to teach them those things without denigrating other women, especially a woman old enough to have not enjoyed the opportunities your daughters do. Why bring up what a woman who came of age at a time when there were very few female lawyers, never mind female Senators, and zero female Secretaries of State, used her marriage as a stepladder? Edit to add: you can also teach them to vote, and work to vote out the misogynist in the WH who wants to take the world back to a time when women weren't independent, but were apparently "housewives" afraid of "low income housing" and needed a man to protect them from minorities and immigrants.

    Why are you derailing this to being about whether Hillary Clinton is a Horatio Alger? She has next to nothing to do with the subject of this thread, and you're complaining about Hillary not being a roll model to your daughters. Sure, it's an objective fact that Hillary's career was launched by her marriage. But the fact that you feel the need to argue this in a thread about the 2020 election says volumes. Why do you have more to say about someone who retired from politics than all the privileges the current president (who is actually a subject of this thread), enjoyed from his wealthy family including federal judge sister? Or discussion of Harris? I've heard enough blatant misogyny and chauvinism (which I can actually spell, but thank you for calling me a "big dumb dumb") in the past 24 hours to have less than zero patience for it.
  23. lemonlime
    Wonder if the men complaining about Hillary riding her husband's coattails ever bitched about how W was an underachiever. Or JFK. Or FDR.
  24. lemonlime
    Here you go.

    No. There's no winning a debate with a moron, who can't talk in coherent sentences, and lies every time he opens his mouth. The key will be to not debate him in the traditional sense, but to respond with "That's nonsense. Here's what I would do." There's no actual back and forth on policy to be had.
