Board 8 > Politics Containment Topic 308: The Board Eight Autonomous Topic

(+) Yeah! (+)

Also, after watching some of that live stream, I'm not sure how I was wrong? They say there have been people running in through the doors leading up to close/trying to run in after, due to the fact that they were stuck in line in their cars in the parking lot/leading up to the Expo Center. And that was my whole issue/argument. Had there been more polling station options, that line of cars/the parking issues would not have occurred, and instead those people would have been in line inside. The reason the line never got to actually build up inside is because people were staggered due to the parking issues. But there were people that arrived at the Expo Center apparently up to an hour early and couldn't get into the building in time due to the congestion issues.

And my whole point was that wasn't the voters' fault. In no world should a voter be responsible for thinking "Gee, if I arrive thirty minutes to an hour early, I still might not be able to vote."

I am also unsure of why Pun thinks he was suddenly in the right.

Like the third or 4th time they have had blow ups. Was a big one after Evo. Gilty and a few others got called out.

Nah, this is way bigger than anything before. We are talking about dozens if not hundreds of call outs. New twitlongers with new accusations are being posted constantly on different streamers, youtubers, twitch staff, esports organizers, management companies, etc.

There's been a lot of truly monstrous stuff.

In the Dota scene, there's some very cut and dry cases where the person is just done and gone now like Grand Grant, and a case like Zyori where it's very hotly debated on whether he did anything wrong even in the accuser's side of the story. Then tons of discussion about the complicity of everyone in the scene who was around this stuff and what needs to change.

I don't know about a lot of other communities but this is definitely going to be causing a big shift in how the Dota scene treats this kinda stuff going forward.

Well personally, I think kung-flu is an amazing name.

If you are being sarcastic then it does not come across. It's a virus that has claimed nearly half a million lives worldwide and it should not have a racially insensitive moniker.

He is not being sarcastic, he's been popping in off and on to make one sentence alt-righty comments for a few weeks now.

Gilmore, hired by the department in 1997, said that whites were now worshiping blacks, adding hed seen a video of a fine looking white girl and this little punk pretty boy bowing down and kissing their toes.

The two then complained about black officers on the force, calling one a piece of s- and complaining that another was sitting on his a during the protests. Lets see how his boys take care of him when s- gets rough, see if they dont put a bullet in his head, Piner said.

Piner soon left to check out an alarm, investigators found. Later, Moore, who also was hired in 1997, called him to describe a recent arrest of a black woman, repeatedly calling her a racial slur.

She needed a bullet in the head right then and move on, Moore said of the woman. Lets move the body out of the way and keep going.

Later, while complaining about a black judge whom Moore called a f negro magistrate, Moore added, Its bad man because not all black people are like that.

Most of em, Piner responded.

90 percent of em, Kevin, 90 f percent of em, Moore said.

Soon, Piner turned the conversation to his belief that a civil war was imminent and his intention to buy high-powered weaponry. After saying he was ready to slaughter black people, he added, God I cant wait.

Everybody knows the sjw racial pandering rallying call of "they loot, we shoot"

alternate theory: those white people are turning on him because of how bad the corona virus has been and his nonwhite numbers didnt change because the only nonwhite people who support trump have brain damage

surprised hes willing to just openly talk about his porn viewing habits like that

Those numbers are not surprising. It's possible we get a significantly greater Bradley effect this year than 2016.

imagine how much of a racist shithead youd have to be to think trump has done too much racial pandering

He means stuff like admitting George Floyd was unlawfully murdered

sure, the entire situation is bad regardless of what you feel about the virus itself. No one is like yes this is going well on either side.

I've never seen an adult cry as much over minor inconvenience as SmartMuffin has over actually getting what he wants but still being told to wear a mask and be responsible.

Exactly. Same thing with the race riots.

And yet... Trump's strategy is to abandon and ignore what his own base wants in an attempt to pander to minorities and leftists. Colossally stupid mistake. I see no reason to update my "He will win less than five states" prediction of a few weeks ago.

Such amazing pandering techniques as "let's not test for this virus as much cause it's making me look bad".

He's pandering by not simply having the military kill them all. If he would just stop that sort of pandering he'd probably be a lock to win reelection.

Muffin, do you think more of his base wants a race war, or wants to avoid it?

Uh, either would be better than the current option, which is a race war being fought exclusively by one side while the other cowers in fear.

Muffin makes me feel better about Trump's chances. If he thinks Trump is only winning 5 states, Trump is probably getting reelected. I think Muffin historically has been consistently wrong with these predictions.

---

Trump could definitely still win, but at this point a Biden 350+ electoral vote blowout is probably about as likely as a Trump win (best case scenario as far as I can tell based on Biden winning all states he's currently polling competitively in would give him 413 electoral votes, by my count: https://www.270towin.com/maps/3d3v2).

Well guys, they were right. The South is rising again.

I won over $500 betting on Trump to win in 2016 when his odds were like 25 cents on the dollar. You do you, though.

Yeah, I don't think it could be a much bigger landslide than that hypothetical map LotM posted. Maaaaaaybe that +IN and MO if you give Biden IN because of the 2008 map and MO because somehow 538 has it at Trump+4 polling average (because like only one C- rated pollster is doing any work there)

Right now I think you're looking more at something like this: https://www.270towin.com/maps/0md9n

Bill Barr tried to interfere in the SDNY prosecution of Michael Cohen, in which Trump was an unindicted co-conspirator:

Honestly the House should impeach him (and should have long ago,) he's been the biggest threat to the rule of law in this country/administration. and is doing severe long term damage to the credibility of the institutions.

Yeah, it'll end like Trump's impeachment did but just like Trump it's the right thing to do.

Bill Barr is attorney general. Isn't it his job to oversee SDNY to ensure they are not engaging in political prosecutions?

Trump has decided to appropriate Bidens strategy to tell people to vote for the other guy:

He's "Corrupt" Joe Biden now, huh? Guess it's hard to call a guy sleepy when he can walk up a ramp without looking like a total pussy, huh?

---

I mean, it's all projection with his nicknames (and GOP rhetoric/behavior in general) so we were bound to get "corrupt" eventually.

---

Eventually he'll run out and projection will lead to things like "President Joe Biden" and "Donald Trump Joe Biden."
