Seemed to misstep in his annunciation on the number of deaths from COVID which will be fun for republicans to highlight.
On a scale of 1 to Chris Brown, how pissed is he?

Did they use an actual clip or are they so used to things like Ady Barkan and Harry Belafonte that they couldn't help doctoring it?

Well the right wing defense of Rittenhouse was said by Trump. He was maybe defending himself. Could have died.

Also, the Trump caravan shooting paintballs and speeding at protestors in streets is good and fine. It's just paint!

Do this mean I can shoot paintballs at the truck down the street with the huge "Trump 2020 Fuck Your Feelings" flag?

Facebook does privilege incendiary posts, including disinformation. their algorithms and business model aren't neutral. you can see their relationship with Modi and India for the blueprint for what they're doing here, though in the US they put a lot more resources into their PR spin and obfuscation of the problem. unless your Facebook friends are Raytheon CEOs or Celtics fans, Facebook deserves your hate a lot more

here's a good book about it:

I put $115 on Biden today on Bovada at -115. Now have $215 invested w/ $440 as the payout.

Maybe that drifts a bit lower but man that is really good value.

HHS has put out a RFP for 250 million seeking PR firms who can cast a positive, uplifting message on COVID.

They are now going to use our money to directly support Trumps re-election. This is beyond brazen. This is theft.

Whole thing is off the rails. Ingraham had to cut him off before he got too far into comparing cop killings to missing a putt.
