    You answered your own question. You're assuming the two items are mutually exclusive, but they are not. Fox News could have not commented as an organization, while the Baier and Wallace quotes happened, commenting for themselves as Fox News employees.

    So the answer is both.

    There's more, but suffice to say that the Trump administration is not protecting our diplomats. Weird that I had barely even heard about the diplomats in China suffering from the same mysterious symptoms that those in Cuba did a few years back.

    More in the link.
    Whoa - that's exactly the same thing as Cuba. And China and Cuba have had a cozy relationship for years now. It would be a good place to test advance weapons like that without a chance of getting caught.

    Their methodology is severely flawed.

    Also, the last 2 polls that they conducted had a sample of around 650 likely voters. Considering that in Penn there are at the very least around 5M Voters, 600 for a sample is not statistically significant (you need around 1k to have a statistically significant sample, with 3% margin of error).

    T-minus 2 hours until Trump cancels the debate. His last chance to turn a failed election around.

    I mean, it's not only that. He HAS to provide a negative test. Also they didnt budge when he tried to change the debate subject (AFAIK it's COVID ATM).

    Honestly until everything is done assume everything is going down to the wire and fight accordingly. Better people nervous than thinking they have this in the bag and to not bother voting.

    Agreed. And in other news, the cunt giving Giuliani information just got banned from Facebook for being a Russian operative. What a surprise. But hey? Great source for the GOP!

    Interesting rules for that feature - muted only during opening/closing remarks. BUT, interruptions will "take away from allotted time". Who gets to be the time keeper? And how will that keep the debacle from happening again?

    I hope they get independent testing for that.

    There is a feeling of angst and horror here in the U.S. I liken it to something akin to the spiritual destruction Hitler's reign caused the people of Germany, how the hate and horror and atrocities ate at the very soul of the people who lived there.

    Considering how much lying you need to do in that game this is probably just opening themselves up for a lot of criticism. hahaha

    It will be fun though.

    Some big streamers may be involved, it seems. Poki, xQc, Hasan, etc.... that will generate A LOT of viewers, if they make that an event to get people to vote, this cannot hurt

    Oh no doubt. I saw that Felicia Day was interested as well. I'm just saying they'd better be prepared for the obvious comments.

    Looks like Trump and his GOP just can't catch a break even with a friendly SCOTUS:

    Supreme Court rejects GOP attempt to require mail-in ballots be received by Election Day in Pennsylvania

    Mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania -- a critical state for President Donald Trump's reelection chances -- will be counted if they are received within three days of Election Day even if they do not have a legible postmark, the Supreme Court ruled Monday.

    Four justices dissented from the order, signaling that the court was equally divided, with Chief Justice John Roberts siding with the court's three liberals.

    The ruling is a loss for state Republicans who sought to require that only ballots received by Election Day be counted.
    Of course the fact that it was a tie shows just how things are going to go once that People of Praise dipshit is rammed into her seat, but still it's nice to see.

    Had to dig a bit for this one... but, this is all anyone needs to hear about Giuliani and this PC bullshit... No one got a career boost because of 9/11 like this asshole... this is from 1999:

    AOC should make it a policy to not lie in that game, even if she's the imposter. It'd be kind of hilarious if she just pled the fifth on all her kills or just outright tried to say "technical truths" like "soandso was in electrical too!"

    This is such good news, but also such troubling news. Biden needs a blowout win.
