Hayley museum still has the original working DuPont machine shop that's powered by a water wheel. The variable speed belt drive is very cool. Pretty neat your overall(like buildings with no walls so if it blows up you'll fly across or into the river and have a better chance of surviving)


We used to go there all the time when we lived in Wilmington. Beautiful place to walk around lots of cool stuff, like the machine shop. Went again last year and they had reconstructed their steam engine that they used to power the machines when the water level was too low and had that running. Such a cool place.

polls be damned, biden lost both of those states. urge people in pa to keep their shit together. i've done my best here in az. i've constantly emailed these activist groups, called them idiots and to stand the fuck down here in az cause they are the reason trump will win and not the postal service.

this guy was dead in the water just a few months ago. he failed his base and more importantly the country and right now, i would say we are going to re-elect the worst president in US history.

this ain't bush, mccain or romney, this guy brings the mud. he's a pig, the biggest and baddest. now biden has got to fight him in the mud. that's no bueno. should've NEVER got to this point.

rant over....

i hope everyone is having a very good day.

One hot taek deserves another:

Anyone dumb enough to be influenced by right-wing propaganda wasn’t ever going to vote for Biden.

Don’t be the white dude that thinks it is his place to tell minorities how, when, and where to protest “the right way.”

Trump is going to win. People keep underestimating the identification factor. Donald Trump:White, Aggrieved, Racist::Barack Obama:Black People

Biden MUST win all of WI, MI, PA, and MN. I don't trust FL whatsoever.

Won't happen.

Well, you certainly have a pessimistic outlook. If Trump wins it will only be because he stole it, which was going to happen regardless of the protests/riots.

Worked out pretty well for Barack, why not Biden?

Again, I think you and AZ are suffering from PTSD from 2016 and just assuming we are going to get the same result in 2020. The polls tell a different story. We will all know who is right on December 14.

MN + WI + FL to Trump on the map I just ran still gives Biden a completely viable opportunity to win. Would need PA, MI, AZ, and NE-2 in that scenario. Even if you're completely pessimistic about Minnesota and Wisconsin there's an opening for Biden.

Seriously. I don’t understand how anyone can confidently proclaim on September 2 who will win on December 14.

Crow I will be elated to eat. But I cannot deal with 2016 again.

Trump will win and I won't believe otherwise until he is escorted out by security shortly after noon on January 20, 2021.

Also angry hateful white people are the most powerful force on Earth and they still run this fucking place.

If the election was held today, there is something approaching zero doubt in my mind that Biden would win. I would wager $1000 to win $100.

Can things change, sure. But Trump is losing. Like, clearly losing.

Even the tightening of some polls doesn't really seem to be super favorable to Donald. Even if you're looking at the Morning Consult stuff that tightened things up, North Carolina (!) is competitive, and Arizona (!), and Georgia (!). Whether Flake helped Biden out there in AZ remains to be seen I guess (not sure if that was asked in that poll) but Kelly is a favorite right now and Joe would be happy to ride his coattails I presume.

Thanks, appreciate the perspective from someone in the biz. I believe things will need to change dramatically for the better over the next 60 days for Trump to stand a chance. I don’t foresee there being any such major developments during that period.

DHS curated high confidence intelligence that Russia was planning to attack biden in his bid for the White House with accusations of mental incapacity. That briefing memo was tagged to be held for review by the acting head of DHS. This bulletin was created on the 7th of July, and Mr Wolf has not seen fit to review the material for release it would seem. Curious how that is.

The article mentions it, the term high confidence is not something that is used lightly.
