Don't look at me.  Look at what's happening basically everywhere else outside of the US.  

The UK scientists might be seeing something in the interim results of their ongoing studies.  They've just moved to stock up on HCQ and AZ.

Trump needs angry Sanders voters like BT to make it a race with Biden.  so he insults Sanders and says he's crazy and not a fighter?

Almost half of the 10,000 policemen of Mumbai went for HCQ when offered to take it prophylactically.

My hope is when it comes down to the election, there's a clear victory for Biden and we turn this fucking corner without any shots fired. We have a very short window to stop the flooding before we sink.

The man talks in vague foggy speak.  Never uses any specific details.  This works for him two ways with his base. 

First it's easier to squirm out of something, writing it off as a joke, or taken wrong. 

But secondly, and more importantly, the minds of those he is speaking to are equally as foggy.  They want generalities they can hang their hat on, they don't need to be burdened with a lot of facts.  They don't want to have to think or reason.  It's just so much easier to take him at his word and move on in their world.  

It's like an old Cheech and Chong bit.  Anyone sober listening to them would immediately see the bullshit.  But in the case of Trump and his cult, they just sit there stoned and prop each other up, he on adderall and himself, and them on him and nostalgia.  All day they just keep taking hits to perpetuate the MAGA dream.  Nothing either party says has to make sense or be true, it just has to somehow be tied to MAGA and Trump being the chosen one to lead us there.

Which is weird because a few mentally ill people who voted in Michigan last time, basically gave him the election.  Only thing less embarrassing than voting in person for Trump in Michigan (albeit in a private booth) is voting for Trump in the privacy of your own home, with a mail-in ballot as you cover yourself in your own fecal-ridden MAGA sweatshirt and jerk off to Mitch McConnell frat pics.

Heads: trickle down economics.  Tails: tax cut for the middle class.

I guess President Trump wasn't happy with my poll answers and lack of funding when they put my responses directly into his little hands after I submitted them. No coins for Sean RomaVicta.

If you want to better understand what a narcissist is then "JUST WHAT I NEED IS A LAWYER IN THE FAMILY" might point you in that direction. Everything has to relate to or be about him.

It won't stop the flooding. Trump is concretizing his rather large plurality into a dense bloc. They're waiting for the next demagogue who will be even more dangerous to the republic. Biden would be a stanch to the bleeding.

Only time will tell if the Trumpists disintegrate as a bloc. I wouldn't bet on it. Check out the TV they watch and the absurd behavior glorified there. Check out their commando dreams where they wear balaclavas and wield assault rivals to hold off the liberal hordes.

I don't know how we beat idiots in fantasy land addicted to hate.

Republicans Are Planning to Spend $20 Million So Americans Won’t Vote

The party is recruiting 50,000 volunteers in 15 states to “monitor polling places and challenge ballots and voters deemed suspicious”.

 

By Paul Blest

20 May 2020, 3:28am

 

The Republican Party is building a program to recruit tens of thousands of volunteers in over a dozen states to conduct anti-”voter fraud” efforts, which means monitoring polls and challenging votes and voter registrations, according to the New York Times.

The party, backed by President Donald Trump, is spending $20 million on its efforts, which intends to recruit up to 50,000 volunteers in 15 states to “monitor polling places and challenge ballots and voters deemed suspicious,” the Times reports. The money is also intended to fight Democratic-backed lawsuits against alleged voter suppression efforts on the part of Republicans.

The GOP appears to be capitalizing on a 2018 federal court decision allowing a decades-long consent decree to expire, which had barred the Republican National Committee from pursuing certain “ballot security” measures. In that effort in New Jersey in 1981, the RNC started a “ballot security task force” of armed, off-duty police officers to patrol minority-majority precincts in Newark and Trenton.

The court decree had been violated by the GOP and then updated several times over the past four decades until its expiration two and a half years ago.

The new effort tracks with a longstanding trend among Republicans and conservative activists to tighten up voting laws. Currently, 18 states have laws on the books requiring voter ID, with many of those passed in the aftermath of the 2010 Republican wave election.

GOP-run legislatures such as those in North Carolina and Wisconsin have also faced numerous lawsuits over gerrymandering, although a 2019 Supreme Court decision took the power out of the hands of the federal courts to fix partisan gerrymandering.

In Georgia, for example, an election for the state Supreme Court which had been scheduled for Tuesday was canceled by the state’s GOP leadership in February, so Republican Gov. Brian Kemp could instead appoint a replacement for the retiring justice who could fill the seat until after the 2022 elections. Georgia has noticeably shifted to the left in recent elections, and is considered a battleground state in 2020.

In recent years, however, there’s been a major push from Democrats and progressive activists to expand voting rights and voter access. Nineteen states and the District of Columbia have implemented automatic voter registration (AVR) since 2016, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. And when the Democrats took control of the House in 2019, the first bill they passed was the “For the People” Act, which would expand voter access and overhaul redistricting, among other things. (The bill has gone nowhere in the Republican-controlled Senate.)

And there’s a fight brewing in Congress over progressive proposals to expand voting by mail, due to the uncertainty presented by the coronavirus. A study on Wisconsin’s April 7 election this week found that there was a “statistically and economically significant association between in-person voting and the spread of COVID-19 two to three weeks after the election,” according to the National Bureau for Economic Research.

President Donald Trump called voting by mail “corrupt” last month despite the fact that he voted by mail himself in Florida’s March primary.

“The federal government is not going to take over the way we do elections,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said last month. “They’re done at the state and local level and every state is different. They’re fully capable of doing that, as they have for many years.”

They don't market that idea to likely Republican voters. They do it to likely Democratic voters in Democratic districts. They'll try to confuse people on dates and addresses and the validity of ballots and anything else they can think of to inhibit the ability of voters who might vote against them from successfully casting a vote.

First, that's not accurate, John Roberts says "Hi."  Second, Congress did that, not Obama.  Third, that is a  obscure constitutional defect.  Finally, it's one thing.

Trump pushes the envelope on the Constitution nearly daily, with his own actions.  And his actions strike at the very structure of our government as laid out by the Constitution.

A general belief among Trumpers is that the Constitution somehow prohibits anything socialistic or SOCIALISM!!!

I am annoyed as hell with the ACA, my ox is gored by it and it's a real bastard piece of shit piece of legislation.  But I give Obama credit for trying, in the "I'd piss on a spark plug if I thought it would do any good" sort of way.  And, apparently, ACA does some good for po folks, so that's nice.  If we had a functional right side of the aisle and executive, ACA would have been a catalyst for a more "compromise" and effective solution.

That was the compromise.

That's down to polling in individual states. When it's close you'll spend money. The national polls are not bad barometers. But, yeah you have to figure out how to get to 270. That's why Georgia being close is a bfd. That means that R has to defend it. That's money they won't get to spend in AZ or NC or FL. Texas is another one that they weren't planning on spending big. But, it's close enough that they gotta defend it too.

It's still a long way to go, but being down 11 in a national poll is not going to make donors want to shell out. I saw something here or somewhere that Thiel is ghosting them. Koch brothers? How much?

But, again like I posted earlier it ain't so much about likes on FB or exposure on TV. That's not helping Trump.  Every time he gets up there and opens his piehole his numbers go down. Biden is hunkering down in the bunker and pulling ahead. It's whether or not you like Trump.

You can look at individual polls in states, check out 538, RCP, Politico, and every other pundit and all you are going to get is a feeling. As nerdy as all these analysts are you still have to contend with the margin of error. Hillary was in it in enough states to lose. Biden is not Hillary.

Yep, I hope some people in Washington are considering what to do in response to the first losing President refusing to hand over power and how to handle the chaos that ensues with forcing them to do so.  Trump and the rest of the conservative machine are laying ground to say the election was fraudulent.  Their base are already swallowing hook, line and sinker.  So should he lose, it’s not just that Trump won’t accept the election results.  40% of the US won’t accept the election results.  They will be imploring him to stand his ground, not hand over the reigns and will view any enforcement of the vote to be an act of tyranny.  Trump will heed their call and get away with it unless someone is prepared to act.   I have no clue what happens after that.  After that we are beyond the event horizon.
