First thing I wondered was where that 800% comes from. If you can match my donation 800%, why not just donate that 800% yourself?

I think the assumption is without Trump, the chance of a straight up election is pretty much gone. We'd be three steps further down the road of the authoritarian playbook. National anarchy and lawlessness, China, COVID as an act of war, massive voter fraud... we need to delay the election 6 months for national security. Maybe that's hyperbole, but nothing seems out of the question right now. Individual states with GOP control seem to be doing a pretty good job of implementing some of the early steps already. |

Agreed. I think we all remember the BS Muslims went through immediately after 9/11. My guess is that some Asian Americans would be subjected to similar treatment.

I don't know where this Biden may suspend how campaign stuff is coming from. It's not what the campaign is saying:
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaig...-back-campaign On the removing negative ads, it is really smart. For one folks wanted him to run more positive ads anyways (more why vote for me rather than why not vote Trump) and now he's getting all the positive media PR from "acting Presidential". It's a massive PR win for him to do that. And after all, it's not like the Lincoln Project has made the same pledge. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

Because once you've got your hooks into a donor, you've lowered the barrier to further entry. Sure, you might have some bundlers you could get to just straight donate $800 instead of collectively taking "my" $100 and turning it into $800, but there are still limits to how much those bundlers could individually contribute (though they could donate to 501(c)s instead). That's a finite resource. But if you can get a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand new donors, even at lower values, once you've gotten past that resistance to donating, they're going to be less resistant to continuing to donate. It's the same reason why you'll see non-profits mail out a dollar bill as part of their "won't you feed a starving child in Africa?" pitch. The concept is that you'll return it, maybe with a bit more, and once you've done that, you'll be less resistant to the idea of donating to them again, and again, and again. |

I haven't voted Republican in a general election in almost twenty years, but my first thought when COVID-19 started making the rounds was: I'm not saying this IS a biological attack by China, but if Chinese leadership wanted to attack the political leadership of the West in an indirect way, engineering a virus that spreads quickly; causes potentially lifelong damage to the heart and lungs to survivors; and is particularly deadly to the elderly and those with underlying health conditions, well... That pretty well describes a goodly chunk of the political leadership of just about every major democracy, wouldn't you say? Even if you don't get to the President, or the Prime Minister, or whoever, you're still likely to infect SOME percentage of any given nation's government, and the resulting chaos still works to your benefit. Even if it wasn't a biological attack - and again, I'm approaching this from a purely speculative angle - it still behooved the Trump Administration to treat it as seriously as they would have (hopefully) done if it WERE an instance of biowarfare. They didn't do that. Trump, specifically, didn't do that. Trump seethed about the damage to the economy and, more specifically, the stock market, and rage tweeted from the shitter about how we needed to open back up in time for Easter, pack out the churches, and grumped at his staff about how he needed to get back to his rallies where at least people love him unquestioningly. Even as his health experts and the CDC were saying "these are things you should do and shouldn't do," he was undermining their advice, ignoring their advice, and egging on protesters who were marching on "blue state" capitals with guns demanding that they be allowed to go to hair salons again. I mean, if China wanted to launch a biowarfare attack against America generally and her political leadership specifically, they couldn't ask for a better unwitting ally than Donald Trump. Trumpers are muttering darkly about this being a Chinese act of war? If they'd taken it as seriously as that six months ago, we probably wouldn't be in this position a month before the election. |

They've been doing this since the campaign started. They've just raised that number as time has gone by. It started with triple matching and that number has gone up sharply as the money issues within thr Trump campaign have become evident. It's all bullshit though. No one is matching donations as it'd likely be a violation of campaign finance laws u less it came from your own personal funds and that would still have to be filed. According to FEC feelings Trump hasn't contributed any money to his campaign this time around. And just to be clear, this isn't a Trump-only type thing. It does seem to be more of a republican fundraising tactic, but both sides do use it. |

Senator Thom Tillis, who was also at the Rose Garden ceremony, has tested positive. He had a negative test Saturday.

At first I thought it was a bad move by Biden because YOU KNOW that Trump would be doubling down if it were the other way around. But maybe you're right. Pull the negative ads for a bit knowing full well that Lincoln and others will continue to do the dirty work. Kind of like this one...

Yet the Republicans still aren't planning on delaying the confirmation hearings. The GOP is so pro life they don't care who they have to kill to get a new justice on the Supreme Court.

I don't wish that anyone catches the coronavirus. But I'm not sorry he is ill or if it gets worse.
This isn't a political thing for me. Its like someone dying from a wingsuit flight or a Formula 1 driver in a car crash. He was fully informed, knowingly accepted the risk, benefited from it, and flaunted it. And in this case, over and over again. People around him may be a different matter. Hard to say if they were true believers also or were intimidated by Trump into not taking basic precautions. But Trump himself, nah. |

Holy shit. Kellyanne Conway's 15 year old daughter Claudia (who if you remember claimed her parents were abusive a month or so ago and claimed she'd seek emancipation) just said her mom has COVID, tried to lie about it, and has infected the whole family... on TikTok.

I am not familiar with the genre, so help me out.
Is this peak reality TV or do we have more to go?

Feels like the Trumpsphere is trying to thread the needle between "it's just the flu" and "it's a Chinese weapon" while still trying to never acknowledge it as a legitimate concern. Maybe covid not your game.

The rest of the country got to move on from Ammon Bundy and the gang, but he's still a big celebrity here. Tonight a high school football game got shut down at halftime because he was there for some reason and refused to wear a mask. A few weeks ago he was dragged out of the state capitol on a little wheeled office chair for the same reason. He has his fans, but when he starts fucking with football, I feel like there will be some conflict even among that group of whackos.
