Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[Antiganon]

Biden made his statements in the video I linked calling for immediate action on the Scalia vacancy on March 24, 2016 when Obama was president...roughly 1 month after Scalia died and roughly 7 months before the 2016 election....not 14 months later when Trump was president.

However, in 1992, Biden stated that a vacancy shouldn't be filled in an election year when George H.W. Bush was president. But yet he advocated the exact opposite position in 2016 when Obama was president. Now Biden's back full circle to his original 1992 position now that Trump is president. Funny how that works!

Don't try to rationalize this. Hypocrisy is hypocrisy and many Democrats as well as many Republicans are guilty as hell when it comes to SCOTUS vacancies.

Yeah I don't watch Republican propaganda on YouTube, I have my recommendations curated very carefully to avoid political bullshit and serve up exclusively DIY and gaming videos.

For that matter, I was talking about what @kaid said. Which was that there was a 14 month gap with an empty seat on the bench.

Just let the U.K hold a referendum on Brenter, lads. We'll take over the US. Our Government is incompetent but even in their conservative form right now we'll still repeal the 2A entirely, protect abortion rights and ensure same-sex marriage is legal. You know you want it.

If you promise to bring the NHS and UK-flavored GDPR with you you have my vote.

Reading this Twitter thread about how many things would have to happen for Trumps plot to succeed helped soothe my nerves a little.

[Zan15]

Fine if you do not care. But millions of owners of such do and should take this one as part of his policies which do violate the constitution according to the system which defines what is unconstitutional. Personal opinions until that decision is overruled, are only that.

And for those who do know some history on the subject, the Parkland School shooter used 10 round magazines for his AR-15. And the single highest school shooting, the shooter used 2 handguns to kill over 30 students.

hahaha you care about the constitution now......you fake, you are embarrassing yourself here go back to the Gun control boner thread.

The October surprise might be a one-two punch.

1. Vaccine ready to go (regardless of truth, there are now four companies in Stage 3 trials).
2. Hunter Biden indicted. Doesn't matter why - just that conservative media can plaster the news with "Biden Indicted".

The only "October Surprise" I want is for Shadowlands to be a smooth launch.

Probably the same trump campaign legal advisor who told trump he's above the law, look how well that argument ended up for him in the supreme court. I suspect ratfuckery to occur, it's already occurred with the usps, more will happen, but this ain't how he wins.

I just hope that SL is decent. I sat out the whole BFA xpack because i did not like the lore (I hate Sylvanas with passion, and the people simping for her), nor the RNG on top of RNG. And mind you, i fucking loved Legion.

I even loved ToS, as it had a last boss fight, consecuences and enviroment that i've imagined since TBC. You'll be surprised how many hours i wasted in middle/highschool using my imagination to play out scenarios of a burning legion spaceship raid (even if we got only 1 boss), and a space/galactic alliance to attack Argus.

That was a good thread. I could use more of that thread in my life.

Yeah. Like I said, it soothed my nerves a bit.

She also pointed out that in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, the state GOP would have to change their electoral laws to give Trump what he wanted, changes that their Democratic governors would veto, a veto which they do not have the votes to override in any of those states and there is no way in hell Democratic legislators would go along with them.

Given how much of a wet fart the Ron "I'm not embarrassed about being a Russian puppet" Johnsons big fishing expedition looking for dirt on Joe Biden was, they would have to invent a law that Hunter Biden broke in order to indict him.

[Kaleredar]

Indeed. The various officials within each state are far more accountable to the people of that state than Trump is sitting in the white house. They will not be doing themselves any favors by directly abrogating the will of their constituents.

Furthermore, these issues don't simply "go to the supreme court," even if Trump does successfully ram a justice through. They have to pass through all the relevant lower courts and be successfully appealed upwards and hope that a judge judge at some level doesn't just say "lol no" to strictly-partisan republican attempts at just installing whoever they want and slaps the thing down.

With the amount of money that will be made from scrap when the guns are all melted, hell yes the NHS will cover everyone. GDPR is a given too. It’ll be a quick in and out, Brenter then Brexit and than you’re part of the Canadian Union.

"I've been complaining very strongly about the ballots," Mr Trump, a Republican, said. "And the ballots are a disaster."

...didn't those ballots elect him in just a couple of years ago? :S

So basically if he wins "see i'm the best", if he loses "the ballots are corrupt!"

Florida's attorney general has requested that the FBI and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigate Michael Bloomberg's efforts to reinstate the voting rights of felons by paying their fees, according to a letter to the agencies provided to CNN https://t.co/PMSz1Oo9by

https://twitter.com/CNN/status/1308964473743572992?s=19

Classic!

A solid majority of Florida voters vote to give voting rights back to felons who served their time.

Florida Republicans create a law they then have to pay legal fee, aka poll tax.

Ruled in courts by Republicans judges they can. Oh btw WOKE voters, this again shows judges being activist. VOTE. Another tidbit Justice Lagoa wrote favor of DeSantis. Yes she is a SCOTUS nominee.

Bloomberg comes along and says 'Get Rekt' and pays for felons. Now all of sudden has asked federal forces to step in.

REPUBLICANS DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO VOTE!

One more time for you hypocrites. I'm curious if the bill mentions third party paying and to what extant. Cause if vague and again Florida courts stop this. Then it is activist judges.

That was the case four years ago. He saw he was losing and bitched and whined about how it was rigged and the millions of illegal votes, but when he won suddenly it was because he had a better campaign and won by a landslide. He's a classic bitch.

It's because Trump has the mentality of a goddammed spoiled child. Which is essentially all he is.

What's worse, is that he himself votes absentee. So they've spent the past couple of months pretending that there's a difference between "mail in" and "absentee" votes...

Fundamental to democracy is the peaceful transition of power; without that, there is Belarus. Any suggestion that a president might not respect this Constitutional guarantee is both unthinkable and unacceptable.

Romney tweet.

Yet he is voting for a Supreme Court Justice on the eve of him worrying about Trump stealing an election.

He's a Republican. Nothing else to say on that. Just because he shows his integrity when he has no choice, doesn't make him a good person.

A good person is good even when there's an overwhelming opportunity to be bad.

Of course, because tweeting is easy. Actually standing by whatever principles you claim to hold is the hard part. I assume it's even harder when most of the GOP isn't even bothering to pretend to have principles anymore.

OK...ignore his blatant hypocrisy and chalk up his explicit statements as "Republican propaganda".

You rationalize the facts you don't want to believe...because intellectual honesty and cognitive dissonance are hard when you live in an echo chamber.

Long live the bubble!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Please tell us about echo chambers, cognitive dissonance and intellectual dishonesty right before and after you spout verbatim OAN & QAnon talking points.

Let’s test this:

Justice Department seeks to defend Trump in E. Jean Carroll lawsuit relating to rape allegation
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/jus...ape-allegation

The filing aims to substitute the US for Trump, meaning the government may have to pay damages if any are awarded

Carroll also released a statement saying, “Today’s actions demonstrate that Trump will do everything possible, including using the full powers of the federal government, to block discovery from going forward in my case before the upcoming election to try to prevent a jury from ever deciding which one of us is lying.”

The filing complicates, at least for the moment, Carroll's efforts to get a DNA sample from the president as potential evidence and to have him answer questions under oath.

"Numerous courts have recognized that elected officials act within the scope of their office or employment when speaking with the press, including with respect to personal matters," the DOJ attorneys wrote.

She has a dress with president’s post rape spunk... your opinion? You have 93 hours, 93 minutes and 93 seconds to answer... lol

Edit: Oh and a reminder... FoxNews.com reposts all AP stories... so, if you are arguing with a Trump supporter, just link the identical version from Fox... it saves a bit of back and forth...
