Regardless of party affiliation, As a proud American, we should only have the likes of American companies, like google, Facebook and Microsoft spying on us.


my school said I needed to download WeChat on my new phone so I could get notices from the grade level leader. I said no. It's my phone and I don't want WeChat on it and WeChat is not listed as a form of communication in the teacher's handbook. I fucking hate it and don't want to receive constant notices all day on my personal phone, on top of it being used by China to spy on everyone. They can buy me a phone and then I'll add it to that one.

Trump wants to meet with Putin, in person, prior to the election. Nothing suspicious whatsoever.

Think I heard a clip from MTP about that. Its all for the best of everyone or something. Probably wants to pick up Snowden and fly him home of AF1. Basically I tuned out.

Speaking of clips, saw a clip from WFMZ, somewhere in the Lehigh Valley, and I know that because they said that the letter sorting machine at the Lehigh Valley mail hub is among the missing. This was part of a story about how deep and wide this USPS story is trending. The Lehigh Valley is not New York, but it is a hell of a lot different then sort by hand at Reamstown. Zoiky Scoob.

I've been fooled again, so I will not get tricked into think that 'this is the one'.

Apparently some prominent republican congressman will endorse Biden tomorrow

I mean, if any Republican congressman endorses Biden tomorrow, that'd be a big thing, but I can't imagine it would be a 'prominent' one.

Would almost certainly be someone retiring unless someone has really gotten religion since impeachment, given none voted to impeach.

My guess to a friend earlier was Rooney from Florida. Seen Hurd bandied about on Twitter, which would be closer to prominent, but that does not seem to fit how he has acted.

I do like that on the one hand, there are few people in America who could plausibly be president right now who I'd rather have as president than John Kasich.

And on a similar hand, I respect that he's willing to stand up and be counted in a non-mealy mouthed sort of way against Trump from a right of center perspective.

And on the other hand, I really hate him with the fires of a thousand suns for everything he did during the 2016 primaries and will never get over it.

Everything is terrible.

Remind me, what did Kasich do during the 2016 primaries that you so hate him for?

He stayed in the race at least two months too long, dividing the field on Super Tuesday and beyond when he was always coming in way off the pace.

Then the first moment he had the potential to be even a little bit useful - when Cruz dropped out after Indiana - he dropped out too.

I hate him so much.

He's been trying to get him here using a variety of excuses. I'm sure it's fine. Also, watch China coming in the back door.

The entire 2016 field was pretty much landfill of dogshit. Prayers and thoughts to the GOP.

Can't make this shit up: absentee ballot requests sent out in NC with Trump's grinning mug on them saying 'don't let the Dems win', get you ballot to send in by mail.
