And declared the loan on his taxes, reducing his tax burden. For a campaign loan.

How they are registered to vote, not how they voted. In some states you register for a party, so you can vote in closed primaries (primaries only open to those declared "Democrat" or "Republican").

Not how they voted. When you register to vote, you can declare a political party (required to vote in primaries in some states).

President Donald Trump is scheduled to host his first in-person event since testing positive for the coronavirus on Saturday at the White House discussing "law and order," despite evidence of a growing coronavirus outbreak at the White House this week.
The event will feature "remarks to peaceful protesters for law and order" by the president ^ that should be a doozy.

So... him cancelling the trip yesterday was because he can't vote in person because he grabbed an absentee ballot which, of course, you can't trust because of all that mail fraud or whatever?
Did someone tap him on the shoulder and say "Uh, Mr. VP, you can't vote twice"? SI

I have been participating in an online survey that is tied in with Facebook. They paid me to shut down Facebook for one week (they could have done up to 6 weeks), and asked me answer a survey questionnaire right before the shut down. They are also going to ask me several surveys through November.
My first one was today, and it had a question that disturbed me. "If one of the candidates refuses to accept the election results and claims victory, how justified is violence to enforce the correct results?" |

I participated in a survey with the exact same question (ERP?). I think that question depends on what is the minimum consideration for violence - does the military coming in and dragging Trump out forcefully = violence?
If Trump does try to take the government by coup, I'd hope the military would rise up and depose him - violently if needed. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

Is Lindsay Graham trying to lose? I get whining on Fox about getting outfunded, but during a debate? Also, his comment about blacks going wherever they want in SC as long as they are conservative not liberal is just ridiculous.

ISiddiqui, that's what hung me up about it. Are they asking if I think civilians should resort to violence (which is a firm no), or should law enforcement if needed use violence to enforce the law (which is yes). I don't believe it would be military involvement, but I can totally see the Secret Service having to drag Trump out of the White House.

I think he just doesn't care anymore if people see the real Lindsay Graham. All the money pouring into the state isn't going to his campaign, and for the very first time he knows that he can (will?) lose this election. He's a spoiled baby crying to his mother. Edit: I will be very curious how the next couple of polls in SC go and we maybe can breathe a little easier about him being gone.

Having helped design a couple of these sorts of surveys, my best guess is that it is this vague on purpose. It's not about getting a result to that question or gaugin what measures people find acceptable, just seeing how each person changes their answer or not (relative to their own Definition), no matter where they slide on a scale initially with regard to what they would see as/allow as violence.
Because the survey seems pretty clearly aimed more at how facebook/no facebook changes answers and less about gauging response to issues as such.

My daughter saw a picture of Chris Christie and said he looks like a young, fat version of Huckleberry Hound (that's what my kids call Roy Williams) and now I can't unsee it.

My guess is odds of a stimulus deal before elections has gone way down. I don't understand why some GOP senators think the newly counter $1.8T is a death knell & would deflate the base but that fills in some blanks for me on why there's not been more momentum.
Futures are still strong positive right now but have to wait till Sun evening to get a better indicator. https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/10/polit...ump/index.html Quote:
I do wonder what Biden is thinking regarding stimulus, economy & spending. Hmmm, okay we passed first stimulus at $2T+, we are going to pass another stimulus right after I'm elected for another $2T+. I'm doing away with the $1T+ in tax breaks, I'm still down $3T+. And oh yeah, we still have the regular deficit stuff to worry about & our debt will be over 100%+ of GDP soon. And have to fix SS and Medicare somehow. Anyone know who is on the short-list for Biden's Treasury & State slots? Last edited by Edward64 : 10-11-2020 at 06:38 AM. |

My favorite moment which I'm sure you'll fall in line on is when the dial flips to be concerned about the deficit. I love when the Fiscal conservatives do that.

GOP Senators are already pivoting their campaigns to account for an expected Trump loss by arguing they need to keep the Senate to check a Biden presidency.
Also, I think the Dem's "court-packing" line of argument is bad. What the GOP is about to do may be a lot of things, most of them not good, but it's not court-packing. To keep repeating that statement sounds dumb and/or disingenuous. I understand they are trying to turn the GOP's message against them, but it's apples or oranges. Take it on on its merits (or lack thereof).

Oh yeah. I mean Rand Paul was all over approving that tax break that took a trillion out of revenue, but now he's 'very concerned' about spending again. He's always got to jump to his newest high horse, when he can.

I don't believe it's true. Mainly because if he came up with that idea, there's no way he wouldn't have wanted it to be a T instead of an S.

They invented a precedent to justify abrogating Constitutional responsibilities for a year - and to be clear, I'm not saying that their responsibility was to approve Garland, but I AM saying that Mitch McConnell saying "eat my entire flabby ass Obama" does not constitute "the advice and consent of the Senate." Refusing to schedule hearings is the advice and consent of an overweight turtle fucker, not the Senate - and then invented another one to justify rushing a nominee through less than a month before the election. All while ignoring the actual literal precedent from 1864 where Lincoln went "hey we just had a SCOTUS death a month before an election and we're in control of both the White House and the Senate because most of the Democrats who'd be here are in absentis because whee rebellion but yanno? Let's wait until after the election to do this shit." Is it "court packing"? Not in the most literal "imma add justices" sense. Is it craven political calculation designed to ensure that the Supreme Court is set up to thwart any Democratic political initiatives for at least a generation, and maybe to roll back any gains they've made in the last 10 years? You betcha. |

I agree with you. Should the Dems take the Senate they need to add 2 seats, not because it's right, but because they can, and it's the same expression of power whose use has been justified against them for the last decade.
