That thread title is what made me check the status of my ballot. Luckily, I live in NorCal so it didn't happen up here. Plus, it would be a little weird if the ballot box I went to burned down, since I dropped it off in a grocery store.
Still a shame though, hope they find out what happened / charge those that caused it.

Again, there's a mountain of evidence raising extremely valid questions about the validity of this reporting. This is not the way major stories are broken, at least not major stories with any credibility.Reporters at the New York Post, including Bruce Golding, refused to let their names be put on the story because of their own concerns, according to the New York Times.
In the end the story appeared in the paper with two bylines, Emma-Jo Morris and Gabrielle Fonrouge.
Ms Morris is a former associate producer on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show and had never had a New York Post byline before, according to the Times.
Her Instagram account, which is now private, had pictures of her posing with Steve Bannon, who is quoted in the story, and Roger Stone, a friend of the president.
New York Post insiders told the Times that Ms Fonrouge had little to do with the story and only found out she was bylined on it after it was published.
Woodward and Bernstein put their names on their Watergate reporting.

Hey, if Republicans want to repeal 230 and have ALL their posts manually reviewed before they're allowed to go live, go for it.“They have two standards: one for one campaign, one for the other. But I do believe that additional lawsuits will be filed perhaps as early as today to go after that,” Meadows said.
“Listen, it’s not just the campaigns,” he added. “They’re now starting to censor, actually, reporters. That’s a dangerous place for them to go when they’re the arbiter of what they deem to be the truth.”
Bull-fucking-shit.

And the FBI says he is lying. They are looking into Russian Disinformation. And that Ratfucker Ratcliffe is only sucking Trump's taint. Ratcliffe probably isn't even qualified to be in his role.
Womp womp. No speculation necessary. John Paul Mac Isaac, Giuliani, and Bannon are the source of the supposed emails. Together. Whom you choose to credit is simply a matter of perspective.
Of course, Mac Isaac apparently has a medical condition that prevents him from recalling any useful (read: inconvenient) information, so the corroboration almost certainly doesn't come from him.
That leaves Giuliani and/or Bannon.
Check-fucking-mate.
Your first sentence, by itself, asked for the citation. The second was completely unnecessary and was just shitty condescension, without even waiting to see if I'd post the source. Your intent was clear, I'd say.

We have had more sources corroborate a Trump thing, and you still hate it. Just like when even FOX NEWS said that Trump said that Military members and soldiers that died were losers, they had multiple sources, for them alone, and the other publications had even more sources, yet people like you hated their anonymous sources.
In which Martha McSally forgets who she's running against in Arizona.
This is Scott Kelly, also an astronaut but not running for public office.
She's running against Mark Kelly, his identical twin who remained on earth while Scott spent a year in space.
I mean, I get that identical twins can get confusing, but it's hardly as if the brothers aren't public entities that have been widely reported on. It should be easy to find images of them without getting them confused.
"Prior to the plague, we were starting to get that number down. We were getting that number, the interest rates were so low and we were seeing things on such a positive scale, we had no choice but to put money in," Trump said. "You had to put money in, you had to force money in because of the pandemic, but we were starting to focus on that very, very deeply. We were making it long-term, we were getting ready to pay off interest, we were getting ready to pay off debt, and a lot of good things were happening."
Donald Trump, on the US Debt.

The actual chart showing the deficit continued to grow under his first four years in office, and was not in any way, shape, or form being paid down.
Once again, Donald Trump is either lying about the national debt or is too fucking retarded to know what is going on with it.
Once again, neither option is good.
Ratcliffe. He has done it before, will do it again, and will do anything to suck the cheeto dust off Trump's balls.

Says the guy that has had multiple problems with anonymous sources before, and now you want to use them? Talk about being a fucking hypocrite.
I'm Joe Biden and I forgot this message.
Because they're commenting in their personal capacity and not as official spokespeople for the Fox News corporation?

There's Baier on his show saying those very words.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-b1161800.html
And there's Wallace saying he understands the concerns and that Giuliani isn't a reliable source.
There's a difference between Fox employees saying things on their shows, attributed to them, and a spokesperson for Fox News speaking on behalf of the corporation.
IPSOS polls showing Biden's lead narrowing in Pennsylvania. As of now, I'd say that AZ, FL, NC & PA are going to go right down to the wire. Biden might even win big in the popular vote but those states will be the real deciders. I would prepare for a very bumpy last 14 days of election cycle.
For what it's worth though, take the individual polls with a grain of salt, as pointed out by 538. Polling averages are a better indicator. Still, the next month is going to be pretty raucous, so keep your head screwed on straight. Lots of drama I'm sure between now and the PS5 release date.

“Because it’s sort of gross to talk about, right? So I won’t talk about the fact that people have to flush their toilet 15 times. I will not talk about it. I’ll only talk about showers,” he continued. “This way they can’t report it.”
Trump is still doing his best Hank Hill impression. Also, apparently dishwashers need to be run 10-15 times to get the dishes clean. I'm genuinely wondering when the last time Trump ever touched a dishwasher was.
