Thank you. And I honestly have shared my views,of criticism and with that I wanted to show some praise. This time I thought seeing the proud boys talking with someone with BLM and having some sort of dialogue together was a good thing?

I have no issues with reps of both disaffected movements talking things out. I would love to see extreme partisanship to be swept into the wastebin of history.

Utah BLM and Proud Boys Leaders Give Joint Press Announcement Explaining What They Have ‘In Common’

Image

https://www.bet.com/news/national/2020/10/01/black-lives-matter-proud-boys-utah-trump.html


Jacarri Kelly, the leader of Black Lives Matter Northern Utah, which, for the record, is not affiliated with Black Lives Matter Utah


Yeah, reading that, it seems like a “representative” of a group that is not, in fact, Black Lives Matter, met with a representative of a group that is not, in fact, The Proud Boys, to announce that Black Lives Matter and The Proud Boys have lots and lots in common.

Cunningham must be some kind of idiot. You're running for Senate, dummy.

I'll be annoyed if he loses and the dems miss the senate by 1. How much does something like this usually move the polls? I hope everything is out and there's no more.

In 2016 the race had a total of about 4.5 million votes. Looks like somewhere between 300-400k have already voted too. Who knows.

If there was ever a time to admit to it guess that time is when the president and half the WH has COVID. News cycle for the texts lasted like four minutes.

Either way, bad on him. However, I'm sure there are plenty of sitting senators and congressmen/women that are kissing other people too.

Eh, just a married dude trying to get his freak on. Not enough to close a 10%+ gap with four weeks to go.

America hasn't seen a scandal like this since George Washington asked Sybil Ludington "Willst thou cleave me to your bosom?"

Saw an ad for VA-1 for Rob Whitman who more then less casts the brown guy running against him as a terrorist. Sort of a full Trump 9/11 version with cheering for dead Americans thing.

Just for clarity I’m not sure those are NYT polls, strictly speaking. I could be wrong but I think what you may be referring to are new Redfield & Wilton Strategies polls as published in the NYT.

or how about hybrid voting, where they send your the scantron card, you fill it out at your leisure, and then take it to the polls on voting day to have scanned? I'm sure then it wouldn't be that difficult to come up with a mobile app which you point at your scantron, and it 'proofs' it for you...

Eagan Minnesota is the HQ which is a suburb of Minneapolis. I think if you want to laugh and go to Google maps and put that in because at one point it showed somebody having a yard sale (if it's not there anymore I offer my sincerest apologies). I used to have to go out there for work at one point, not to Scantron though.

I wouldn't be surprised if they had offices in every state to support schools to deliver equipment supplies. Maybe that can be done with global logistics these days.

Sean Patterson is not worried that Donald Trump has been hospitalized with coronavirus because he believes what the president tells him.

“It’s a hoax. There’s no pandemic. As Trump said, how many millions die of flu?” said the 56-year-old truck driver outside the early voting station in St Joseph, Missouri – a stronghold for the president.

But then Patterson pauses and contemplates the possibility that Trump really does have Covid-19.

“If he’s sick, then they planted it when they tested him. It’s what they did to me when I went to hospital for my heart beating too fast. Two weeks later I got a cold,” he said. “It’s political. I don’t trust the US government at all. Who are they to mandate personal safety? I listen to Trump.”


Don't have words, just a slacked jaw.
