“it’s preparing to field a robotic crop-spraying airplane”
Isn’t that a drone?
A drone is remotely piloted, and a robot is programmed within a set of parameters?
Note that there is a lot of cross-over in this space.
If it’s fully autonomous, that’s quite an accomplishment.
Or drones can be autonomous. Can be programmed with a general flight plan and given a lot of leeway on how to follow the plan. Can swarm in coordinated groups where one drone leads and all other follows.
UAV — unmanned autonomous vehicle.
Often the software allows a pilot to override the autonomous flying and navigating, so the line is blurry.
When we were building a UAV in school, we had a toggle on the controller that would cut in and disable the autonomous functions.
Autonomy is fluid not binary.

Crop spraying seems like an ideal application for an autonomous drone.

My 8th grade socialist US History teacher taught us the definition of court packing during the section on the New Deal.

The tragedy of herd immunity
Speaking at a news conference on Monday, Dr Tedros argued that the long-term impacts of coronavirus – as well as the strength and duration any immune response – remained unknown.
“Herd immunity is achieved by protecting people from a virus, not by exposing them to it,” he said.
“Never in the history of public health has herd immunity been used as a strategy for responding to an outbreak, let alone a pandemic.”
The WHO head added that seroprevalence tests – where the blood is tested for antibodies – suggested that just 10% of people had been exposed to coronavirus in most countries.
“Letting Covid-19 circulate unchecked therefore means allowing unnecessary infections, suffering and death,” he said.
It’s immoral. Never in the history of public health, whatever that is supposed to mean.
Prior to public health expertism, that is precisely how herd immunity was attained. Diseaeses ran riot through populations. Some died, some recovered. That is how humans as a species developed the robust immunity systems which are so rapidly decaying as a result of public health experts’ obsessive risk aversion.
Wantonly locking down the country means untreated diseases, emotional suffering, fiscal disaster, and death.
Isn’t mass vaccination *precisely* using herd immunity as a strategy for responding to an outbreak or a pandemic?
I mean I’m not trained in medicine… but what the heck else is mass vaccination *for* if not that?
Making money?
Tagging people with tracking chips?

ABC News referred to Kyle Rittenhouse as an “alleged white supremacist” in a report last week, despite the fact that the 17-year-old has no known ties to white supremacism.
ABC justified the label by citing former Vice President Joe Biden, who has suggested Rittenhouse is a white supremacist in a campaign ad — and who faces a possible defamation lawsuit as a result.
See they just use Biden as their in house fact-checker.
To be fair, other people have alleged (without evidence, of course) he’s a white supremacist.

Surprise
Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard has been floated as a possible Treasury Secretary if former Vice President Joe Biden wins the presidency next month. If chosen and confirmed by the Senate, she would be the first woman to lead the Treasury Department — a symbolically significant appointment analysts say would put a veteran Beltway economist with centrist views and recession-honed crisis management skills in a critical Cabinet position.
“I think Biden wants diversity reflective of America, and I think they’re going to want to break some glass ceilings, leading me to think you could see the first female Treasury Secretary,” said Stephen Myrow, managing partner at Beacon Policy Advisors, a policy research consulting firm.
——-
Brainard would be a palatable choice who would appeal to — or at least not face stiff resistance from — the Democratic Party’s left wing, while not ruffling feathers on Wall Street the way a more progressive figure like Elizabeth Warren certainly would.
That support from both sides of the aisle will be important. A Beacon Policy Advisors analysis of the Biden campaign’s economic advisers noted that many of those perceived to have the former vice president’s ear on economic issues — as well as his vice presidential nominee, Sen. Kamala Harris — are grouped farther left on the political spectrum than the candidate himself.
“This group includes a surprisingly high number of progressives for a candidate who ran as a center-of-the-party moderate,” the report said. “While we do not view it as likely that the Biden administration will promote policies as progressive as Harris’s or Warren’s voting records in the Senate, it will certainly influence the direction Biden takes on some economic policies.”

I recall watching a movie recently about the founding of Rome supposedly in “pre-Latin”, or whatever they were speaking around there at the time. Can’t recall the name of the movie (I was drinking, alright? Happy now?).
Was it about Romulus and his brothers? Maybe speaking Etruscan?

Eh, works for me. Nobody uses archaic forms in everyday speaking, and even if they used archaic language, if people from the actual time heard it they would be saying “WTF are they saying? LMAO” (or whatever the equivalent was at the time).

And Trumpist populism isn’t a radical revolutionary movement?
Give me a break!
Isn’t it far more a reactionary movement?
I don’t believe so. They might position themselves that way, but they are seeking a radical change concerning the idea of the American polity from a classical polis into a 19th Century Romantic gemeinschaft, they just happen to be currently opposed to an equally radical movement.
They might position themselves that way, but they are seeking a radical change concerning the idea of the American polity from a classical polis into a 19th Century Romantic gemeinschaft, they just happen to be currently opposed to an equally radical movement.
Care to expand on this? I’m skeptical that there’s anything revolutionary in the current right-wing populism, but I would be interested in hearing this position fleshed out.
#metoo
Well, all reactionaries are revolutionaries at heart. The yin-and-yang of revolution is radicals on both sides. Mussolini and Hitler wanted to do better than the ancients, not merely to imitate them. The reactionaries dispense with tradition with almost as much abandon as the communists.
The American polity was never a classical polis. It was always a federation of States, and originally some of those States were very much in keeping with the developing nation state concept. Trumpism is no more radical than the various populist anti immigration movements that have existed in every era of heavy migration in our history from the Know Nothing Party’s formation in response to the first wave of German immigration on.
The melting pot romanticism was not a founding ethos of this country either, it wasn’t a widely held concept until the 20th century. The founders were quite nationalistic, “To secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity” is quite a nationalistic concept. I know it is popular to decry all nationalism as “blood and soil’ ethnic parochialism, smacking of racism and hatred, but wanting to bequeath a better life to your children and their children is not only not an evil idea, it is the root of any society that has a hope of survival.
Trump is a garden variety populist. If we were on the gold standard he would be out there Mumbling “Cross of Gold, Bad, hate it! Coining Silver free! !2:1 Awesome Best Idea!” He’s awful. Only by comparison to Joe Kerensky Biden and Kamalenin could anyone sane support him.
“And Trumpist populism isn’t a radical revolutionary movement?”
Not really.

Joe Biden’s campaign is facing questions about the role of his son-in-law after a report that Howard Krein has been advising the Democrat on the coronavirus amid a possible conflict of interest.
Krein’s venture capital business, StartUp Health, has been running a special initiative to invest in health care startups that offer solutions to the COVID pandemic, Politico reported, as Krein participated in daily calls to brief Biden on the virus.
His dual roles of advising the campaign while investing into solutions to the outbreak could be a conflict of interest or lead to questions about whether his business is benefiting from his father-in-law.”

Just takes one asshole kid from Barrington High running over the sign with his BMW.
Half of these teenagers in Barrington drive more expensive car than I do. I drive a fucking Hyundai and one of my neighbors bought their kid a gotdamn Jeep with all the bells and whistles. I high school I had to use the good ol’CTA to get to around.

I had to go into the office today briefly. I was very nervous pulling on my jeans after months of stretchy pants. My jeans WEREN’T too tight.

That will have to wait, but it is potentially doable by the end of the year.

Just saw a Greenfield ad funded by LCV Victory (League of Conservation Voters) fund – “for science, for our future.” They are apparently funding similar campaigns against Republican incumbents, although the website claims “regardless of party.”
The levels of out-of-state spending this election have become obscene.
We’re just lucky Greenfield didn’t accept any of that icky corporate PAC money.
No, she gets it directly from the big donors, right?
Well they are for science, so of course they are supporting the Dems.
Today on the BBC radio news, ACB was described as “a staunch Catholic”, and subject to intense character assassination, basically described as a lacky to do BAD ORANGE MAN’s bidding and single handedly prevent all Americans from exercising their judicially-legislated
right to kill babies and make healthcare provision as messy and complicated as possible.
Wait. is she beholden to Bad Orange Man or the Pope? I need to keep track of these things you know.
It reminds me of the Economist writing an article about ten years ago trashing one of the States for passing an abortion law that limited the practice to 20 weeks. The Economist failed to note that the UK restricts abortions to 24 weeks, while the US has no effective limitation. I bet BBC pulled the same game just breathlessly screaming about “der gona take ma abortions!”
I think most of Europe limits it at 20 weeks if not earlier.
12 weeks is the average in Europe with more than a couple of them that restricts it to 8 weeks, which is essentially a ban.

It’s good you have government owned news. That assures you get unbiased information.
Why the hell is the Mexican girl wearing a top? WTF
I have never been more outraged with such a disgusting spectacle. Who wants to look at a Mexican girl at a soccer game with her fucking top on? Can 2020 get any fucking worse
Depends on the Mexican girl. They don’t all look like the senoritas in the telenovelas.
You’re ruining my life.
There is no Santa Claus either.
True if they did, immigration fraud would look very different, and I doubt it would be opposed by anyone.
I’m sure people would still support limiting immigration under those circumstances – although it would be a rather sexist limitation (more senoritas and fewer senors means better chances with the senoritas).
So we have a Floridaman and a Florida Man?
Yep, or are we both secretly one in the same.
Goodness gracious. Somebody bitching today on FB about people’s “lazyass” attitudes toward…dun dun dun…their cross stitch projects. And, “sadly, it’s NOT the younger generation.”
Lighten up, Frances. It’s a hobby.
I thought we were all out of first world problems since Trump has been trying to destroy democracy and the universe for the past 4 years.
Right?!
I’m watching the Senate Judiciary Hearings for Amy Coney Barrett and it’s amazing to me how some people view these jackals as our betters. How are many so willing to give these people so much power to influence our lives? It’s absolutely mind boggling.
To be honest, I legitimately think Mazie Hirono is mentally handicapped and that explains her inability to have shame.
https://twitter.com/DailyCaller/status/1316118474222075904
“Sen. Mazie Hirono asks ACB “since you became a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors or committed any verbal or physical harassment or assault of a sexual nature?”
She is the worst of the bunch, by far. She’s retarded and malicious.
She’s the fucking worst. I couldn’t believe my ears when she asked that question.
Are you coming on to me, Senator?
“since you became a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors or committed any verbal or physical harassment or assault of a sexual nature?”
“Well, once my husband said ‘Not tonight, dear, I have a headache.” Does that count?
In many cases, how can you tell if they’re unwanted until you ask, unless you are a mind reader?
They believe. And they will beat you with their Bible in order to prove it.
My view of my college friends has taken a major hit over the years as they consistently demonstrate a tendency towards emotive post-hoc rationalization.
They simply cannot reconcile a pragmatic view of politics that would cause them to buck the trend among their acquaintances on any issue.
At the same time, they mock the religious for their unquestioning faith. It’s quite sad.
Same Scruffy. A lot of people who I viewed as intelligent and logical have gone off the deep end especially with the Trump Presidency. Any time you try to reason with them and have a decent conversation with regards to Trump and his Presidency, they become rage filled beasts.
When Cory Booker first ran for Mayor of Newark, I didn’t agree with a lot of what he believed in but thought he was on the right track with helping former convicts reintegrate back into society. But watching him in the Senate, he’s a piece of shit and an empty suit who used his race and boyish looks to convey false intelligence. He’s an utter failure and is an example when we strip away meritocracy from our society.
Don’t talk shit about Spartacus.
LOL
Remove the name, and that could be any one of them.
Saw my first Trump sign in the hood today, it’s this one:
Bad Orange Farms
In the middle of a suburban neighborhood in MD, a farming sign? That’s weird. I would have thought I would see that in Iowa, not here.
I saw a white delivery truck on the road today where somebody used their finger to write “TRUMP” in the dust on the back.
Probably a weed dealer.
Troll farms.
Holy crap. Mexico actually has a national holiday called “Day of the Race”?
I can hardly wait to roll that out at a diversity and inclusion seminar.
I always found their “Day of the Race” to be comical, because (1) Hispanic is not a race and (2) Mexico is about as ethnically pure as the US.
Mexican girls at soccer games should still not be wearing tops, though.
“Hispanic is not a race”
It’s as much of a race as any other others.
I assume ‘The Race’ is the current hybrid mix of Europeans, mostly Spanish, who conquered Mexico back in the 1500s and the Native Americans who were inhabiting the region at that time. I don’t think that has anything to do with politics.
Someone set me straight if I’m wrong on that.
Add in a dash of African and I believe that is the recipe.
For purposes of scoring cheap points, I am uninterested in such nuance.
That interbreeding did lead to some especially attractive female critters.
That is exactly what the day refers to, but not everyone has native and Spanish blood in Mexico and quite a few presidents were ethnically European mixed with some other European. Germans and Japanese also moved to Mexico in fairly sizable numbers for some reason at some point in their history.
I may be wrong, but hasn’t Mexico only had one native President (Benito Juarez)?
Not sure about the presidents, but I have read a great deal of Mesoamerica history and historical novels based on that area and culture.
Are you referring to the one Mexican author that everyone cites?
Gabriel Garcia Marquez is the Isabel Allende of Mexico
Have not read his stuff. Is it good?
Yeah. He’s good.
Sorry, my Isabel Allende joke sounded funny in my head. Less so in text.
It does have to do with politics, although historically, I would say it has more to do with religion.
Is Speedy Gonzales the mascot?

Thank you LH. I have a new found appreciation for Michael Caine. Had no idea about his pre acting background.
it’s amazing to me how some people view these jackals as our betters. How are many so willing to give these people so much power to influence our lives? It’s absolutely mind boggling.
Pay no attention to that jackal behind the curtain. Just watch the smoke and mirror show.
Is it wrong to fantasize about a catfight between AOC and ACB that turns into hot lesbian sex? With the sound off, of course. Asking for a friend.
Throw in a kiddie pool full of jello and we have a pay per view.
Ain’t no one stopping that. Although, that’s true for most catfights.
I have teh weirdest boner
Yeah I can’t decide if I find ACB’s voice cute or irritating.
It’s definitely irritating. She’s a hot girl who loses some points because of her voice.
Also I’d substitute Temptress Tulsi for AOC.
She can join too.
No. Bestiality is gross.
One of my neighbors has a Bernese. She’s about 9 and was clearly the runt of the litter. I think my dog outweighs her. But, she has decided that I am one of her favorite people (she couldn’t care less about Babs and Babs barely tolerates her), but if she sees us she comes running. Today she came charging down the driveway without her owner in sight, which she is not supposed to do. He showed up shortly and asked if I heard her whining yesterday. They had seen me, with Babs and she refused to move until we were out of sight, whining the whole time. Aww, she’s such a sweetheart. (No I didn’t hear or see her).
Am listening to a Podcast, and heard an ad for a Podcast about food. Gize, apparently we’re not to say “food desert” anymore: it’s “food apartheid”.
Got it?
“Food apartheid”? That’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard.
The week isn’t over yet.
Unless there are laws preventing people of a certain ethnicity from a) purchasing food and/or b) opening groceries in a certain community – it is not “apartheid”.
I mean, if you’re going down that road, go full “food Holocaust.”
The Mexicans looked at me funny when I was shopping in the Hispanic grocery. Does that count?
Tan more.
Maybe he identifies as a white hispanic melanintard.
I can’t believe you still think words have meaning. It’s systemically racist of you to use a euro-centric dictionary and then pretend as if your linguistic privilege isn’t showing. You have been exposed.
“words have meaning”
Oh fuck, now you done did it….
He’s lucky it’s a cold, rainy Fall evening and I’m sleepy….
Hmm. Too obscure to be a euphemism?
It is well known that the poor do not eat healthy food because there’s no Wholefoods in their neighborhood. If all the Burger King’s were replaced with Wholefoods, the problem would be instantly solved.
So there you go, there is indeed Food Apartheid. That’s what I was told anyway.
Why stop there? It’s a food apocalypse.
Well, somebody is keeping Walmarts out of many urban, majority-black places. I’m sure it must be F. W. de Klerk.
“Food Apartheid” will be when anti-cultural-appropriation laws are written to prevent European descendants’ purchase of foods other than lutefisk and hot dish.
When I bought my house I was surprised (and I bet Kristen is too) to learn it is in a food desert. Because, apparently, the Best Way (caters to Hispanics) the La Latina (small, also caters to Hispanics, and one more whose name escapes me (also….) Don’t count. all in easy walking distance. But, you can’t walk to Giant. So. Food desert=bullshit.
When you put it that way, it makes me wonder if the food desert propaganda isn’t a push for big chains to get subsidies to locate in certain areas. A bootleggers and Baptists situation.
That’s what I think.
Except as k-bo hinted at above, big chains like WalMart want to locate there but are prevented from doing so by the Democrats that nearly universally run those areas – and usually at the behest of the elites from across town who demand “living wages”, unionized labor, and other nonsense.
Still not Baptists and bootleggers
Wal-Mart with grocery moved in since I bought. I don’t think anyone is actively keeping groceries out of my neighborhood. But, I do think they are not counting smaller chains – like best way
Yeah, there could be multiple phenomena at play in various places. In my city the professional activists hate WalMart and Dollar Store, for example.
Although not bootleggers and Baptists since no one has an incentive to keep food illegal. But I do think large chain groceries are behind this crap.
Bootleggers and Baptists isn’t necessarily about keeping something illegal. It’s about regulation.
And this is not that
Best Way is so convenient
What’s the one in the strip mall with the Goodwill, Pho place and Dominoes?
I haven’t been in there…can’t remember the name
That’s Tameka’s favorite Pho place, though. I prefer the one in Rose Hill.
I like Golden Cow on 7th? I can drive there or describe how to get there, not sure of street name
Before the mission creep started, food deserts were supposedly places without a store that sold fresh produce, I tried to point this out in an email to local news that touting a program last year going into ‘food deserts’ giving away free produce; that in fact every place they stopped had a store that sold fresh produce. (not to mention this is the country and lots of farmers are selling direct produce on location)
A lot of it is a classic misinterpretation of statistics. The actual definition of a food desert is framed along these lines: a Census Bureau statistical region in which some residences are more than a certain distance away from a grocery store. It is not at all uncommon to find a “food desert” that contains multiple supermarkets (indeed, I apparently live near several such “food deserts”). Usually, there’s a housing development tucked away in a cul-de-sac somewhere that is technically slightly farther than the defined distance limit. But then the news will report that all 10,000 people in that region are in a “food desert” when only like 12 homes are. There are “better” examples, like urban areas with hundreds or thousands of residential units beyond the defined distance, but then usually the distance is shortened too (e.g., it’s 10 miles for rural, 1 mile for suburban, but 1/2 or 1/4 mile for urban).

“BREAKING: 88 of Amy Coney Barrett’s faculty colleagues at Notre Dame have released a letter saying she should withdraw from consideration for the Supreme Court.”
You will not be surprised to learn that there are no law professors on this list, but there are four gender studies professors, which speaks to how “Catholic” Notre Dame University is.
That isn’t very…collegial.
None of them actually work with her.
I’m pretty sure the law faculty doesn’t really think of the undergrad faculty as their colleagues.
But it’s colloquial!
And since it is “88” I am pretty sure that makes ACB a nazi in some roundabout way.
Let me guess, that would be equal to 97% of her colleagues?
88? Ooh, I know this one. Eighth letter of the alphabet: H. HH. Heil Hitler. Nazis confirmed.
I can’t keep up with these white supremacist signs. I fear I’m getting behind and will look out of place at the meetings.
These are most boring confirmation hearings ever. A sternly-worded letter from “colleagues” she likely doesn’t know? Come on. Where are the rape trains?
I bet it’s killing them. They are probably under strict orders from their overlords to not go totally batshit crazy this close to an election. You know they want to, it must be killing them. I love it.
Well, somebody needs to tell Nancy. I don’t think she got the message.
There was also a Group of 88 faculty in the Duke lacrosse case.
Sounds hateful.
It was.
The Crazy 88?
If only Barrett had written “Epstien didn’t kill himself” on her notepad.
How long before the deranged pussy hat wearing freaks break into the chamber and start biting her about the ankles?
ACB does ‘smugly superior’ very well.
It would be almost impossible not to come across as smugly superior when surrounded by braying, posturing morons.
True, but she really does seem to have a natural talent for it.
I should say, this is not a criticism of ACB. Smug superiority is a perfectly reasonable response to the aforementioned pack of blithering fuckwits. I’m just impressed with the panache with which she pulls it off…
Well, AOC has the same attitude. So, debate time!
This. Like talking to poorly raised kindergarteners.
I can’t believe you still think words have meaning. It’s systemically racist of you to use a euro-centric dictionary and then pretend as if your linguistic privilege isn’t showing. You have been exposed.
A loooong time ago, I had a big discussion with a couple of my ultra-lefty relatives about the political abuse of language (as practiced by right wing oppressor groups, of course). I’d be interested to know if they have attained any level of self-awareness, but I would never have the stomach to initiate such a conversation, now. I’m sure they would be happy to explain how the linguistic dehumanization of one’s enemies was invented by the Bad Orange Propagandist.
As long as “food apartheid” refers to my treatment of beets and Brussels sprouts, I’ll allow it.
And also fuck the overreaction to COVID. My daughter was suppose to have her one year visit at the pediatrician but she had a runny nose and told my wife that she can’t set up an appointment until they have proof of that my daughter tests negative for COVID. And also we found out that my wife’s 96 year old grandmother had a heart attack but can only have one designated person see her the whole time she’s at the hospital. They can’t even switch off.
These shithead governors allow rioting and mass protesting but if you want to see your love one in the hospital or hold a funeral, there are dumbass restrictions. The messed part is that no one will suffer the consequences of having these unnecessary and diaconicon executive orders.
Not true, the voters will suffer the consequences for years to come…. oh wait did you mean one of the politicians?
The media have done a good job scaring the voters, and the voters have done a good job in allowing themselves to be scared, or else the politicians wouldn’t be so brazen about all this.
Yes, this year hasn’t exactly helped my faith in humanity,
“And also fuck the overreaction to COVID.”
The people who cannot see that are like programmed drones. I was in a meeting today with a coworker and somehow the commie cooties came up and I made a point about how destructive the lockdowns have been. He seemed to acknowledge this for a moment and then said ‘but spreaders, and we have to social distance or this and can’t open up everything or else this…’. Super nice guy, good coworker, but like so many others he’s so programmed by the mainstream media that even when he hears and recognizes legitimate arguments, he’ll immediately start quoting CNN. It’s sad.
Some days, I start thinking we should all do a class action lawsuit and sue the federal government for 10 trillion dollars payable straight to each of us. Out of our money. Oh well, never mind.
They don’t call it ‘television programing’ for nothing…
Since the ‘Vid is currently at levels below what we see for a good chunk of an average flu season, ask him if he is prepared to support masking, social distancing, and keeping things closed for 5 months out of the year, every year, for the rest of his life.
Of course he’s not. He lives out in the middle of nowhere, everything is open there, including his church and the restaurants. And he works from home. I guarantee he’s not doing it now. But he’ll still agree with whatever CNN says. That’s what I’m getting at.
I even tested him by saying ‘You know the WHO just reversed their stance and came out against the lockdowns?’. He just ignored me and kept going down the same talking points. You know that CNN is not reporting the WHO’s reversal, because doesn’t fit the narrative.
I’m sure he also believes that antifa are peaceful protesters and that all that burning and looting has been by right wing militias.
“my wife’s 96 year old grandmother had a heart attack but can only have one designated person see her the whole time she’s at the hospital”
That shit is just infuriating.
Yes, it is?
Not sure why that would be a question.
Punctuation malfunction. That was not supposed to be a question mark. Yet it is, its very infuriating. It’s actually hard to think of anything that infuriating in my own personal history. I hate everyone involved with this lockdown, they all deserve whatever ill fate befalls them.
The last time my mom was in the hospital, my being there, and talking to the doctors, etc. was a big help. It’s just very upsetting to me, that if something were to happen now, she might end up dying alone, because the last I checked, the hospital wasn’t allowing visitors.
My dad would have had a lot of shit nights (worse than they were) in hospitals if my mom and I weren’t allowed to be there. Most nurses didn’t know how to properly use a sling lift and hospital pharmacies would take so long to sort out meds that my dad would start having serious troubles before they got him the proper meds.
It’s criminal!
My mother has watched too much news and wouldn’t even agree to meet us at a restaurant for Thanksgiving. So we cancelled plans to drive up to MA next month. Maybe sanity will be restored in time for Christmas.
To lift thy spirits, I strongly suggest a new weed I tried the other day: Cataract Kush

What is the Lincoln lie? (I am avoiding watching any politics, it’s why I am only intermittently around here, because I have decided that making myself into a furious suicidally depressed asshole is not a good idea)
That even he, the greatest president of all forever, didn’t nominate a justice when one passed mid-October during an election year. The lie is that that was his benevolence but reality is much more.

I had optimism that NC purplish/blue turn wasn’t going any further. We’ll see.
The polls are all bullshit. In a couple of weeks they’ll all suddenly tighten up so the pollsters can claim they weren’t that far off. Until the final polls, it’s just more propaganda.
Well, the final poll will be 5-3, once Biden comes out that he identifies as a tax and ACB is forced to recuse herself.
^This
I don’t how anybody can watch the show the Senators are putting on and think, “Gee these people should have more control over my life”.
Because the people generally nod and scream rah! rah! rah! when their team is speaking.
I don’t think anyone except politically junkies watches hearings. And I doubt any political junkies are in the undecided category at this point.
I have been listening out of shear morbid curiosity. Tbh even Ted Cruze rubbed me the wrong way. ACB rubbed me the right way.
Go on…
Most people get their views from watching CNN or listening to their proggie friends on face book. That’s the extent of most people’s interest in or knowledge of politics.
Almost no one watches CNN, their ratings are abysmally low.
Older people do. The young ones get their political knowledge from their facebook friends, whose total political knowledge consists of ‘fuck Trump!’.
Don’t forget the outrage addicts.
Is ‘outrage addict’ a different category from ‘polical junkie?’ I’d call it a subcategory.
Fair enough, although I suspect some political junkies are only in it for the outrage so it may be a chicken/egg thing.
It’s useful to remember that these are prepared, rehearsed statements. The pols are mostly just actors speaking their lines. In some cases, they can’t even manage that.
If you took Spartacus or Harris and put them in an open, freeform debate with ACB, she would eat them alive.
How the fuck is this even legal?
