2020 Elections

[TorontoGold]

Does the Biden team have a desk at CNN? I’ll wait to hear how this is unbiased media or how this is the Proud Boys fault.

Why is this an issue?

 

[drayer54]

Why is this an issue?

Because it is further dishonest reporting and the 1000th piece suggesting that the media is a surrogate for the Biden Campaign.

Ok- Election topic-

Joe Biden walks back his national mask mandate, admits it would probably be unconstitutional
This seems like something he should have known a month ago

Wasn't this a big mention in several of his basement speeches and party convention? Wasn't this like a central thing in his COVID plan?

[Irish#1]

Why is this an issue?

Well considering the "Washington Redskins" was considered by many to be offensive, CNN didn't want the pic to offend anyone and sway their opinion where they vote against Biden.

But, you already knew that.

 

[drayer54]

Y’all see Biden’s Comms guy TJ Ducklo yesterday?

He threw an asbolute temper tantrum when asked if Biden was using teleprompters on Q&A sessions (he is), asked to clarify Biden’s flip flop on the China travel ban and even denied it was flip flop, and then couldn’t name a single thing Biden would do different on COVID.

To be fair, it was the first time he met a real reporter asking questions that matter, not softballs.

I hope the Biden camp gives us more from TJ Ducklo.

Just saw that midget prick Bloomberg is spending 100 million to help Biden win Florida. But the unions are the problem.

House Seats Trump Won in '16, Dems flipped in '18

House Seats Trump Won in '16, Dems flipped in '18

Thirty-one House Districts voted for Trump in '16 and Dem candidates in '18. Trump won seven of the thirty-one by double digits.

Twenty-nine of those thirty-one districts are rated Republican districts based on past voting.

Trump's chances of flipping those Districts back to Rep are limited. Twelve are rated Solid Dem or Likely Dem. Of the remaining nineteen districts Trump won in '16 and were flipped by Dems in '18, fifteen are rated "Lean" or "Tilt" Democratic for the general election.

One is "Tilt Rep" and two others are "Toss Ups".

Dems could win more seats in the House, expanding their majority, by winning Rep seats.
Of House Districts currently held by Republicans, four are rated "Lean" or "Likely" Democratic. Five more are "Toss Ups".

Joe Rogan said he'd moderate a 4 hour debate between Trump and Biden. Trump has already said he'd do it, waiting on Biden. Four hours though?!

Colorado all mail-in ballots

Colorado all mail-in ballots

All mail-In voting was started in 2013 in Colorado. Here's some frequently answered question, including how someone registers, from the Secretary of State. Mostly people are registered voters when they obtain a drivers license or updating their address with DMV automatically but there are government offices at which you can register. Where or how you can submit your vote is also answered.
https://www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/elections/FAQs/VoterRegistrationFAQ.html

When registering you can choose your party or be unaffiliated. If you are unaffiliated, for primaries you receive ballots from both parties. You can change your party on-line, if you wish.

The advantages of unaffiliated voting status, automatic registration, all mail-in voting and changing your party for primaries is that it can stimulate a voter to be more involved in the process of voting and you are not locked into the two party system. Voter outreach such as this is an important part of voters participating in our democratic process.

Fraud is minimal to all non-existent. From the Heritage Foundation's voter fraud database.
https://www.heritage.org/voterfraud/search?state=CO

Voting in the Colorado primaries saw a record number of voters.

Man accused of sexual assault on an 8 year old was released by funds raised by a group Kamala Harris is soliciting on their behalf. As of this post, Kamala's image is still being used by the site to gain donations. Also at the time of this post, Kamala has not commented on the types of suspects being released by the group and the donations she is requesting for people to make.

https://dailycaller.com/2020/09/16/kamala-harris-minnesota-bail-fund-accused-sexual-assault-child/

A bail fund promoted by Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris helped a man accused of sexually assaulting an eight-year-old girl get out of jail in July, court records show.
The Minnesota Freedom Fund also helped post bail for a man accused of assaulting an elderly woman as he burglarized her home, court records obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation reveal.
The fund also helped bail out a man who allegedly robbed and stomped on a victim’s head in Minneapolis on the same day of George Floyd’s police-custody death, records show.
Harris urged her followers to contribute to the MFF in a June 1 tweet, which linked to a fundraising page that contains her picture. Harris’s fundraising page continues to actively accept donations for the fund.

Criminals will be freely dumped back on the streets in a Harris-Biden administration. If we had a press, they would ask them about these kind of things.

Criminals will be freely dumped back on the streets in a Harris-Biden administration. If we had a press, they would ask them about these kind of things.

If we are looking at criminals dumped back on the street, we need look no further than Trump himself, who according to the US Department of Justice website has pardoned at least 27 convicted criminals including Joe Arpaio, Roger Stone, Rod Blagojevich, Bernard Kerik, and Scooter Libby among others.

This is absolutely wild. I'm out of town this weekend, but planning on voting early when I'm back. With the shortage of poll workers and the lack of faith in mail in balloting, states that don't have early voting in person are in for a disaster on election day.

Speaking of mail in voting, we're already seeing "spoiled" ballots and voters failing to fill out their ballots correctly. 5% of black voters in North Carolina who have voted by mail did not have their votes counted, mainly because of issues with filling out the witness information. Given that Democrats are overwhelmingly slated to vote by mail relative to Republicans, expect them to lose multiple percentage points because of paperwork issues.

I'd strongly encourage everyone to vote in person if you have a safe way of doing so.

I'd heard about it. Never really interested. Tonight I took some time. Kimbery Guilfoyle's rant.

"As a first-generation American, I know how dangerous their socialist agenda is. My mother, Mercedes, was a special education teacher from Aguadilla, Puerto Rico."

“They want to destroy this country and everything that we have fought for and hold dear. They want to steal your liberty, your freedom, they want to control what you see and think and believe so that they can control how you live. They want to enslave you to the weak, dependent, liberal victim ideology to the point that you will not recognize this country or yourself.”

Reportedly Guilfoyle is head of the Finance Committee for The Trump Victory Committee.

Colorado's unaffiliated voters as well as registered Republicans recently received a letter asking for donations to the National Republican Congressional Committee Legal Fund.

The tone was remarkably - and not surprisingly I guess - similar -
- Since seizing power (via 2018 elections?) the Socialist Democrats have...
- the Democrats are trying to use the Chinese Coronavirus...to force their socialist agenda on the American people
- if we don't act fast and unite behind President Trump's plans...the freedoms you and I enjoy will be gone forever

The RNCC needs your money to "make sure we have the critical resources we need to fight against voter fraud and the Socialist Revolution led by the radical left". The letter starts off with:

"We've never seen anything like it before."

A 2018 RNCC letter requesting donations urgently also started with "We've never seen anything like it before.'

This letter was signed by Kevin McCarthy. It reminds me of Joseph McCarthy, who said in Feb 1950,

Today we are engaged in a final, all-out battle between communistic atheism and Christianity. The modern champions of communism have selected this as the time, and ladies and gentlemen, the chips are down - they are truly down.

Somebody tell Kimberly that Puerto Ricans like her mother are American citizens. Still the first generation-preserving the dream has a nice ring to it. From Gavin Newsom to DJT, Jr. Two divorces. A reported fling with Anthony ‘The Mooch’ Scaramucci in 2017. Now the face of Trump's outreach to Catholics, who warns:
“liberal politicians trying to shut down churches and other houses of worship across the country by giving free to the rioters and looters in the streets.”

What a long, strange trip....

Haven't fished in probably 25 years, so the wife and I took a four day weekend to Dale Hollow. It's a huge lake that straddles KY & TN and is very rural. Houseboats everywhere. Nothing but Trump flags flying from a lot of boats and signs in people's yards. Not one Biden sign. After our trip to NE Ohio over the fourth and now this, I'm pretty confident that Trump is going to do very well in the rural areas.

I drove up to Chicagoland from DC last week. Driving through rural PA -> Ohio -> Indiana I saw countless giant Trump signs and flags. I saw one small Biden sign outside Toledo.

In the Chicago suburbs I saw one tiny Trump sign, and countless Biden/Equality/BLM signs. It's a tale of two countries.

How was the fishing? Love that place. Rented a big houseboat and fishing boat about 8 years ago. Fishing was OK, but had a fantastic week. We saw several eagles and just a crazy amount of wildlife. We beached the HB in a secluded cove most of the time and used the other boat to fish and goof.

Yep, it's going to come down to who turns out the most, those that live urban or rural.

Fishing wasn't bad, but ended up spending more time on the pontoon just trolling around. We had a bald eagle fly right over us. Nobody in the Celina, TN area believes in masks. lol

Folks around there are great. Salt of the earth. Same with folks around Cumberland, which I used to visit often. I'm sure they think that shine kills all the Vid lol.

Last year we were kicking around another HB and pontoon week at one of the TN/KY lakes this summer/fall. That, along with our yearly trip to FL got smacked down.

As far as fishing, it was really hit or miss during the day. The most fun we had was drunk fishing from the top of the houseboat at night for catfish.

The media will dismiss this faster than Joe's mental decline. If you swapped out Hunter Biden for Donald Trump Jr. - it would be page 1.
