Seeing the "incredibly online" supporters... still not seeing this as a net negative
The concern is posts that get created organically and go viral (or at least are posted by socks and boosted to hell by other fake accounts) would overshadow any attempt to blackout since you can't boot private posters doing political ads. Trumpists and sock puppet accounts for him would probably still reign supreme.Seeing the "incredibly online" supporters... still not seeing this as a net negative
Bill Barr Is Running an October-Surprise Factory at Justice
The attorney general’s probe of the Russia probes will inevitably arrive in the midst of campaign season—just one small detail of the Justice Department’s ugly politicization under Barr.www.vanityfair.com
I mean I agree it's not enough. It doesn't address the real problem with bot accounts and focused boosting, but those require real work vs lip service to get advertisers back on their platformThe concern is posts that get created organically and go viral (or at least are posted by socks and boosted to hell by other fake accounts) would overshadow any attempt to blackout since you can't boot private posters doing political ads.

"I don't think about it now," President Trump told reporters on Air Force One when asked if a phase-two deal with China was still on the table.

That sounds like a threat lmaoJust had a long talk with #RogerStone. He says he doesn't want a pardon (which implies guilt) but a commutation, and says he thinks #Trump will give it to him. "He knows I was under enormous pressure to turn on him. It would have eased my situation considerably. But I didn't."
The thing is that in order for something to be an October Surprise, it has to be a ... well... surprise. Which Kissinger's stunt and Comey's letter were. Which is why they were effective. At this point, Bill Barr's DOJ brazingly putting its thumb on the scale at the 11th hour isn't just not a surprise, it's practically expected. Which would significantly decrease its impact.
There's nothing amusing about posting ads made by people who may shit like this

A long way to go thru November. But for now, this tweet is what Democratic dreams are made of.
This feels like cheating somehow lol.
Yes the weather is bad but "people familiar with the sign-ups said the interest in the rally was significantly lower than for rallies that took place before the coronavirus paused campaigning."
I'm fairly sure Ann Coulter's brand of racism and general shock jock conservatism is dead and buried because literally the entire Republican Party and the media that pushes their message is worse than her in that regard.
She needs the moderates to come back and kick guys like OANN to the curb to get her job back. If she can even do that in this day and age, OANN and the people who watch that shit isn't going anywhere.
Omar has said some things that have made me cringe on numerous occasions, but rather than criticizing her or for her views or legislative agenda, people always scrape the bottom of the barrel and make racist, sexist, and islamaphobic attacks against her so i've always got her back.
Oh good so he's not just going to lie on this interview, but also lie without realizing he's lying because he's a fucking moron.Trump told Telemundo the following about how he is going to protect DACA recipients: "I'm going to be signing a very major immigration bill as an executive order, which the Supreme Court now, because of the DACA decision, has given me the power to do that." This makes no sense.
Trump regularly mixes up bills and executive orders. For example, he's repeatedly claimed he signed a bill on protecting monuments, though that's just an order. I go back and forth on whether this is deception or, still, confusion.
The Russia probe is old news at this point and really doesn't have much of anything to do with the election, so I honestly don't see how this would qualify as an October surprise unless Barr is going to try to frame Biden for the whole thing somehow.Bill Barr Is Running an October-Surprise Factory at Justice

I'll never understand why Barr was so willing to destroy his reputation for Trump. And not just that, but that he keeps going out of his way to protect him. What's even the point now?
It's Arizona. Nothing is a "gimme". It needs to happen more than once regardless of the polling for it to be rated that way. Sinema is like the first D senator from there in 40 years.Thought McSally's seat was basically a gimme for Kelly at this point?
I see. Because everything i've read makes it seem like McSally is easily the weakest senator defending her seat. All the polling and fundraising shows Kelly miles ahead.It's Arizona. Nothing is a "gimme". It needs to happen more than once regardless of the polling for it to be rated that way. Sinema is like the first D senator from there in 40 years.
remember most of Kelly's large leads are due to weak support from Trump supporters for McSally. Partisanship can change that quickly, because while Biden is winning he's not killing it in Arizona. Lean or Tilt is probably the correct professional rating regardless of gut vibes about how it will probably go

I said this in another thread. This might sound crazy, but I was born/raised in Texas. If high school/college football is cancelled, Texas flips blue.
Inside Elections is just insanely cautious. Kelly has led every poll since last year.Thought McSally's seat was basically a gimme for Kelly at this point?
Dems need to make ads running in all TX markets that link Trump's covid inaction to no football this year, specifically showing that Europe is already playing soccer and will be in the fall because they took it seriously and took action that we didn't. Give them a target for their football rage, make it simple for the simpletons.
