Once Trump is gone from the WH, will Facebook, YouTube and Twitter have the balls and integrity to ban Trump for rule violations - which he certainly will continue to commit? And if they don't, how can we respond to push them in that direction?

There are immediate concerns that have to be dealt with - the pandemic, job losses and evictions/homelessness, the economy - but unless America develops processes to minimize the spread of false information, the country is going to be fucked.

Not make a concession speech, nor officially acknowledge the president-elect, nor quit the White House with anything resembling grace. He’ll slither out to Mar-a-Lago in the dark of night.

Of course he did. And it seems Pence has been absent for days, Barr for longer. Are they going to be truthful if infected? Not if they can get away without that being disguisable or being leaked because that would violate the falsehoods they are dedicated to promoting.

And all of this while the daily covid infection totals set new records each ******* day. These are truly ugly humans.


They are, indeed, Bernie. They are indeed.

Wherever there is voting, progressives are cheating.

This race is over, and the only person who doesn’t see it is Donald Trump. And a couple of A2K'ers.

I wonder, if the latter follow that email where Trump asked them to donate and thus "help bolster our critical Election Defense Fund".
That should be expected, especially, since tiny print disclaimers say 50 to 60 percent of the donations will not be used for recount efforts or legal challenges, but instead will go to vendors or staffers that the campaign has not paid yet.


Quote:
A text signed by Donald Trump, Jr. allegedly states: “We must protect the election! “My father is asking YOU to support our critical election defense fund.”

On the donations page, which was first highlighted by the Journal, there is a disclaimer stating that 50 percent of all donations will be used to pay off the general campaign debt and 50 percent will be used for the campaign recount account.

Another fundraising campaign for legal aid, the Journal says, leads to a donation page for the Make America Great Again committee, with the fine print noting that 60 percent of these donations will go to end campaign debt and 40 percent to the RNC.

The Trump Donation Campaign for Legal Challenges also repays the campaign’s debts.

@coldjoint,
According to NBC News:

Quote:
Eighty percent of Black men supported Joe Biden, down slightly from Hilary Clinton’s 82 percent in 2016 but significantly down from Barack Obama’s level of support among Black men in 2012 and 2008.

Over half of Black men (52 percent) who identified as ideologically conservative cast their vote for President Trump, and 1 in 3 Black men living in the Midwest also voted for him.

There was an unusual relationship between education and how Black men voted this year. About 26 percent of Black men who had a high school diploma or less supported Trump. But 22 percent of Black men with bachelor’s degrees and 20 percent of Black men with advanced degrees also supported him. Black men with some college education broke for Biden at levels comparable to those of Black women.

The shifts follow a busy campaign push by both candidates to capture Black voters’ support. Biden campaigned in Philadelphia over the weekend and attended “souls to the polls” events among Black faith communities. His running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, who would be the first Black and first female vice president if elected, urged Black voters in Atlanta and the surrounding suburbs to “honor the ancestors” by heading to the polls and voting for the Democrats. In any case, a path to victory for the Democrats has routinely required strong showings in cities with heavy Black populations, like Atlanta, Detroit and Philadelphia.

Trump has stumped for Black support this election season, gaining endorsements from rappers like Lil Wayne and partnering with entertainer Ice Cube to create an investment plan for Black America dubbed the Platinum Plan.

@oralloy,
The Patriots currently have a losing season at 2-5.

If they are cheating (again), then they are doing a terrible job at it.

I believe that a lot of the reason Trump lost is due to Mitch McConnel and the Amy Barret SCOTUS nomination.

If MM hadn't forced that vote to happen, I think Trump wins for the same reasons he likely did in 2016 with that open seat.

Thoughts?

@maporsche,
An alternate argument could be made that McConnell pushing Barrett’s confirmation through was done because there was a calculation that it would please and motivate Trump voters.

@snood,
Or just McConnell striking while the iron is hot. I think at this point all he is thinking about is his legacy, could be wrong. I am thinking McConnell is tired of Trump like the article I posted yesterday said and wants to go back to obstructionism.

Biden winning the election at the same time as Saints being top of the premiership. Today is a good day.

Saints have never been top of the premiership. The last time we were top of the league was back in 1988 before the premiership was formed.

I'm sure looking forward to seeing this thread slowly retreat into the past.

But not before kicking the fool when he's down. This is a great example of Trumpism at work:

Quote:
Amid the sensory swirl of the airplane hangar in Freeland, Michigan—the thousands of voices screaming, the red MAGA hats bobbing and shifting, the fifty-foot flags on cranes flapping and snapping, the long sleek blue-and-white bulk of Air Force One gleaming, the elbow-to-elbow crowd heaving and swelling (and, in my worried fancy, the predatory virus molecules dancing ominously amid the sea of tiny Trumps filling countless tiny cell phone screens)—the leader slow-walks toward us, fist pumping slowly, with that trademark ponderous tread of his (dating back at least to his boardroom entrances in The Apprentice), adjusts the mike, leans slightly sideways, and lances into it all with a stark declaration: “We brought you a lot of car plants, Michigan! We brought you a lot of car plants. You know that, right?”


Comes in prompt response the ear-splitting roar of affirmation, clear as clear can be: Yes, Mr. President, we know that! A joyful knowledge, a knowledge to celebrate: all those jobs in all those car plants! But what exactly is it possible to know about those car plants? I could not have been the only one in that obstreperous crowd, made up overwhelmingly of Michiganders, to know the presumably important fact that, well…those car plants didn’t exist. Any member in good standing of the ancient “reality-based community” could have told you that since the coming of Trump no new car plants had been built in Michigan, that since his ascension not less than three thousand Michiganders had lost jobs in the vital auto sector.

It wasn't Mr. Trump who murdered Pontiac.

Barack Obama was the one who murdered Pontiac.
