Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

Ya know, i would not be surprised if i woke up tomorrow and the first thing i read is "Donald Trump, 74 dies of heart attack"

So, fun side effect of FULLY UNREDACTING EVERYTHING ABOUT THE RUSSIA INVESTIGATION AND INVESTIGATIO INTO HILLARIES EMAILS!!!

There are like, redactions in the Mueller Report, which is itself a small fraction of the overall classified materials. But some of these redactions, which are a fraction of the total in all materials were they to be released normally, are likely to protect "sources and methods".

You know, like the diligent housekeeper at the Kremlin who just happens to pass on information they overhear or see. Or that "secure" phone line they compromised to eavesdrop on high level conversations. Or that someone planted a bug somewhere.

Spy shit.

If it's released fully unredacted, it could compromise key intelligence gathering methods and literally get people killed.

That is if there's anything of this nature in the classified materials, which we do not know. IC is probably shitting bricks right about now.

Probably not much on this front for Hillary's emails, if at all.

[Kaleredar]

We're entering full-on Banana Republic territory here, and if Republicans don't wholesale condemn Trump declassifying rafts of politically irrelevant information against a former political opponent less than a month before the election then they are complicit as a party and should be summarily dismantled.

What the fucking fuck is happening to this country. How have we fallen so far, so fast?

Repeat to yourself the phrase “president Donald trump.”

Im not surprised at his actions, I’m surprised that anyone is surprised at his actions.

Over the course of these four years, I’ve really not been surprised at any of his conduct. It’s as godawful, self-serving, narcissistic and terrible as I’d assumed it would be.

Trump allies, Republicans say American people 'deserve the truth,' praise declassification of Russia probe docs

I honestly didn't think they'd sink this low, but Republicans like Devin Nunes are unsurprisingly rushing to felate Trump's shriveled mushroom penis, praising him for like...again, above.

Thanks for going on record saying you're super cool with the idea of killing intelligence agents and sources to score some political points for an election, Devin Nunes.

Edit: If anyone wants to calmly step in to tell me I'm overreacting and here's why..., I'd be fuckin thrilled. Just sayin.

In what I hope continues to be a theme, Democratic challenger Kelly is creaming GOP incumbent McSally in the debate right now.

I just had someone tell me there is going to be charges made tomorrow by the DoJ because of this. But I can't find anything about it. Though the dumbass that said it, isn't a bastion of truth on the WoW server I play on.

I'm not seeing anything about this. Seems more like wishful thinking than anything.

Honestly I don't get it they keep acting like they are running against Hillary. How would this hurt Biden in any way seems the whole GOP is on drugs not just Trump.

I imagine tonight is going to be a lot of collective pants shitting as everyone tries to figure out what the fuck is going on, get together with fresh pairs of pants, and try to figure out a way to stop/mitigate this disaster while praying Trump comes off his high and actually gets some fucking sleep so they can work without him throwing more wrenches.

Oh, he was pretty adamant that it was going to happen. And the only DoJ thing I can find, was that there was some pharmaceutical company getting charges in South Carolina.

I saw someone mention it on another site, but I couldn't locate any new sources for it. Best I could find was George Papadopoulus which is far from trustworthy.

It's not even about that. As you say this isn't about Biden, and at worst he gets some flack because he's a Democrat and Hillary is a Democrat.

This is Trumps 5D chess, which is literally just total chaos because he's losing, desperate, and high out of his mind on steroids.

Easy. When the DOJ doesnt do anything tomorrow, regarding that case, rake him through the proverbial coals.

Yeah, that bastard should be lucky he didn't get more time in jail.

I suppose the only “it’s not so bad...” angle is that I highly doubt any meritorious charges will arise from this distraction.

As for endangering people’s lives... I’m sure the requisite intelligence agencies will do all that they can to rescind any actually sensitive information regardless of Trump’s roided up ramblings, and he’ll be making the republicans yet another enemy withinUS governance.

In some good news, I watched part of the Kelly/McSally debate in AZ.

Kelly is rough around the edges, but he seemed to be doing alright for himself. Needs to look into the camera a bit more but he seems quite genuine and was talking the talk.

McSally is...jesus christ. Talk about practiced sound bites and that politicians smile. She was nigh intolerable, and quite shameless. Repeatedly either brazenly lying about Kelly and his positions or literally making up new lies on the spot, and had a big fixation on tying him to Ilhan Omar and Nancy Pelosi which makes no sense since he's running for Senate, but also Chuck Schumer. Very much your usual "INSERT POPULAR DEMOCRAT TO HATE HERE" attacks.

So there's that good news, I guess.

Updated one hour ago: Kelly is forecast to win

Not surprising. He's been ahead for a while now as McSally has been deeply, deeply unpopular. As I've said before, some of that might be due to her plea to supporters to skip a meal and send her campaign the savings. Yes, really.

At least Marie Antoinette promised cake.

[Captain N]

Between McSally making boneheaded comments like the skip a meal thing and Tulsi Gabbard spouting off conspiracy theories it's no wonder my "Conservative" friends in Arizona have decided to take a break from Facebook and Twitter. Cowards...the lot of them.
