    One side will say it was a right winger attacking protestors. The other side will say the protestors were attacking some random person and they defended themselves. The truth will come out and it won’t matter because people will make up their mind after reading twitter. 2020 is quite the bitch.

    I’m actually starting to come around to your last sentence. I never trust Florida for shit but trump has no path without it. Biden has enough resources to continue to campaign in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin hard while pounding Florida like south Austin’s mom on 3 for 1 night. My big fear is the governor really working hard to suppress the vote. The blue wall behind it has to be not just strong but impenetrable. Most of those states are near a double digit lead right now. Go after Florida while trump is busy trying to save Texas and Georgia.

    Trump started at -800 to win Texas. He is currently at -230.

    On a personal note, I was teaching children of the same age during this trial. At first I was pissed at GK because fuck child molesters, but also because it made my job more difficult in terms of building trust with families. When it was obvious that he was getting railroaded, I talked to my principal and said I needed to teach older kids the next year. Never went back and eventually got into campus administration. Every man is one false accusation away from losing their career, freedom, and reputation. And don’t expect hundreds of people to show up for you like GK.

    I’ve read parts of it. She gets Dailey to admit that he did not follow best practices and asked leading questions to the children. You also have another victim recanting his story live via video in front of the jury. That’s the whole trial right there. Either she didn’t beat this home and call numerous expert witnesses to testify about how improper the questioning was OR you got the most mouth breather jury of all time. Possibly both. If I’m on the jury, I don’t know how I could convict anybody after the second child recants. I like to think that it would have caused me to lose faith in the prosecution. But, I also taught 4 year olds for 8 years and know how their brains work a little more than the average juror, I guess. The second kid was used as support for the skeptical jurors that might not believe a young child. “But how could two kids come up with the same story independently”? Well, they didn’t but we still convicted the guy...

    Based on many of the responses in this thread, if we end up living in a police state, it’s because we deserve it and want it. Thats fine if that’s what you really want, but don’t ever bitch about states rights, local control, or federal overreach. Im not downplaying the problems in these cities, but thinking the “lazy, incompetent feds” are going to ride in to the rescue takes some mental gymnastics. And no, that is not defending the status quo or local responses and some of you Einstein’s will try to claim.

    The ramp up in voter suppression definitely has me worried that they will try something that will sway a close election. If we overwhelm them with dem turnout it won’t matter. We need to get as many people as possible in swing states to vote early. If they are trying to turn people away, it gives us more time to be on top of it and gives the person another opportunity to vote another day. It also keeps lines down on Election Day. Republicans love to reduce polling places in democratic areas knowing that not everyone can or will wait in a line that is hours long.

    She didn’t have to make the connection to Mccarty to skewer Daileys ass. She acts like she thinks he did it and is sitting on some evidence she doesn’t want to share. I don’t think this is true, it’s just how she’s acting. She’s the only one not completely incensed at the sham investigation. He got a more vigorous defense from strangers going to the media.

    I think people are overthinking this. Kamala checks the most boxes. I voted for warren in the primary but he’s not going to make it two old white people on the ticket. The only pause I give my pick is how kamala went after joe in the debates. There could be some bad blood there and she would definitely have to walk some statements back. Money is still on kamala though.

    Chicago has the 16th highest murder rate in the US last year so I would guess the answer is yes. Obviously it’s a huge city so they have nicer areas that help the overall number. But that is true of most larger cities. Parts of St. Louis would be a good, but smaller in scale, comparison to start with.

    Somewhere between Fort Worth and Lubbock. South of Oklahoma and north of Abilene. I say somewhere because it’s really nowhere. Under 100 acres to the other question. Happy to further discuss via PM. Could be interesting and could be a total disaster. I think I’m going to be well protected financially but who knows. I will most certainly maintain my soft and well moisturized hands. When my family decided to come to Texas in a covered wagon, they decided to stop and set up shop in Jayton. Glad I was born 80 years too late for that adventure.

    This is my take as well. It wasn’t about which strategy she chose as much as her inability to cast doubt on an investigation done so poorly. As soon as it was examined more closely, the whole thing fell apart. A lot of the most damning information about the investigation was available during the original trial. It should be irrelevant because he was her client and the investigation was done so poorly, but she acts like she thinks he did it and knows something we don’t.

    In a typical year, I would love the dem nominee to put a republican on the ticket if the person is willing to go along with most dem ideals. Maybe even agree to disagree from time to time. It would probably do more to get people to actually talk to each other instead of seeing the other side as evil. BUT, this is not a typical year and we don’t have a typical president. We have the most sadistic president in US history and a Republican Party that is complicit. You crush them so that it will serve as a long term reminder of what going down the third world dictator path will do to your party. Much of their party will be looking for the next trump to lead them. We need enough of them to remember how they lost elections far and wide and vow to never make that mistake again.

    I don’t understand how Cummings didn’t turn this around and put Dailey on trial. A good attorney could have just destroyed that guy.

    So the men’s rights lawyer shows up and shoots the only men in the house, then himself (a man), while the woman goes untouched. Undefeated.

    Nm. Not sure I looked at that right. How did HRC do with college whites?
  19. Larry T. Spider
    Well, we could always look at countries that are more successful than us with this. Who is doing well and what do they do?

    First, thank you for the leg work that y’all have already done on this. Any thoughts on the best way to narrow this down and select a candidate or two? Democrats are so much more competitive across the state that this became a harder task than I expected. My personal preference would be to have a specific candidate that we get behind while pushing the flip the house fund as well.

    Really depends on a lot of factors like the size of the pool, how much rock they have to blast, your credit score. Probably just cheaper to go with a new wife.

    Hi neighbor. I really hope that she can pull this off in November. She has worked her ass off to get this far.

    Buying three weeks of time let’s Florida be the guinea pig for how things go. Those of you that are wanting in person school better hope for a good start for them.

    It’s an update. Edit: I see that cruz just sent out an email confirming.
