No comments yet on Walmart requiring masks? https://thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/507431-walmart-to-require-all-customers-to-wear-masks

The biggest energy states are generally not competitive anyway, and if it hurts him in TX the race is already in his favor. I have not looked at it, so I won't give my opinion.

What is the Fargo hybrid plan? In my suburban DC district our option is 2 days in person (hybrid option) or 4 days online. For the in-person version, they are filling in with other online materials, and probably homework for the older kids. Selection ends today and the current tally is 53% choosing hybrid and 47% choosing online. The teachers are about inverse, 54% online vs 46% hybrid.

Yeah, I think Warren is staying in the Senate. Well, he's not choosing AOC. LOL.

The absolute smartest thing Biden could do is come out and state that he is only planning to serve one term. He could pitch it as a reset from the Trump era. Maybe in his nomination acceptance speech. And then float the names of all of the people who are in consideration for cabinet spots, etc. Show that he will be surrounded by capable people.

I’m not overly confident and I’ve said multiple times that Biden could lose. However, reading in between the lines on the current polls shows that Trump has an amazingly narrow path to victory. The % who say they will absolutely not vote for him is extremely high. Independents are strongly against him. In states such as Texas, the R senate candidates are out performing Trump by a decent margin. And as I’ve noted before, most people have already settled on their choice. Of course, due to our electoral system, neither of our votes matter in the least (presuming you are in ND).

That was a special throw-in for this forum who think that mask-wearers are sheeple.

I worry a bit that the right is in complete denial about Trump’s overall status in this country. On some level, I find it a bit humorous that they are clinging to (and overstating) what happened in 2016 while ignoring 2018, but it becomes much more concerning when you think about how Trump will cry voter fraud and how his sheep will follow. Make no mistake, if the election were to be held today, it would be a bloodbath. There is certainly time for Biden to screw it up, but the denial by some on the right is eye-opening.

FoxNews influences elections every night. By the way, I let the conservative censorship opinion of yours go the first time, but now I’ll challenge it. I call bull$%!#. Kicking off Milo and Laura and fact checking lies from the President are not censorship.

To #1, 15 seconds on Wikipedia would show you that the last two hate speech cases that got to the high court were decided 8-1 and 9-0 as protected by the 1st Amendment. In other words, you are full of crap. To #3, make the internet a regulated utility and then we can talk. The Michigan militia was cheered by the right and the protesters by the left. What was the difference?

Whole bunch of wrong in here. Hate speech is constitutional College campuses can decide who to invite or not invite to speak, not a 1st amendment issue Social media is private business, not a 1st amendment issue Court challenges to the Constitutionality of COVID restrictions have been thrown out - see: https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/LSB/LSB10451 How many of those protesters in Michigan that showed up like a militia were arrested?

What exactly is being ruined?

There might be some interesting information in there, but I just can’t get past the comparison between COVID and the common cold. Especially the “dying off in summer” aspect. How does the author ignore what is happening outside of Central Europe?

Joe has received a lot of crap from the left for his crime efforts a couple of decades ago. There is a lot of hesitation about Kamala due to her prosecutorial background. It is not unnoticed. Last two polls in from Texas are Biden +5 and Trump +1. I don’t think Biden is winning and I think he will lose Texas by at least 3, but the interesting part of the Trump +1 poll was that almost everyone was locked in to a decision. People know Trump and they either love or hate him.

You may be right that if forced to state a preference, there would be more Ls that choose the 2nd amendment and tax side of the Rs. However, I seriously doubt that there is going to be a large movement of Johnson to Trump voters considering the L platform of open borders, legalized drugs and prostitution, unrestricted abortion access, opposition to the death penalty, opposition to gerrymandering, etc. Unless they want to vote for JoJo in 2020, I'd wager that most would sit it out rather than vote for Trump.

Don't backtrack. You said Hillary got killed. She lost by less than 1% in the states that tipped the election (MI, WI, PA). That is not getting killed, that is as close as it comes. And it shows how little Biden has to improve on Hillary's performance to win.

I'm not sure how this is a response to anything. Obama commuted or pardoned a lot of non-violent drug offenders that were caught up in mandatory minimum sentences. It was pretty bipartisan.

War criminal Eddie Gallagher is the better corollary to Lopez Rivera, except Lopez Rivera actually served 36 years for his crimes. Trump’s commutations of his buddies is unmatched by Obama.

I’ll admit to having blanks spots in farm policy and I cannot tell one rifle from another, but yes, I find it important to stay as informed as possible on a wide range of topics.

No, that means that there were several electoral-rich states right at the inflection point. If Biden were to do 1.5% better across the board than Hillary, a historically unlikable candidate, he would flip back WI, MI, PA, and FL and win 307 to 231. So, what you are saying is that slight movement in votes would result in Trump getting “killed”? I don’t think you understand our election system.

“Killed like Hillary did”? She won the popular vote and lost due to extremely small margins in three states. It was one of the closest elections ever.

The best data at this point shows that kids are not efficient transmitters of COVID. What the CDC is saying is that the risks of sending kids to school are more than balanced by the risks posed by kids missing school (education, mental health, etc). This is not a change in argument and doesn’t say anything about adults in close proximity. And it is a shocking twist that Oxbow fails to comprehend anything related to COVID:

He was certainly a less than compelling candidate as a challenger, but he is exactly the steady rudder candidate that would be coasting to victory right now. Imagine a good economy, scandal-free presidency, and a national non-partisan strategy to defeat COVID. Against Biden he’d probably be up 10 right now. Instead, we have the most incompetent, corrupt politician possible who is on the verge of getting thumped and probably turning over the presidency, House and Senate to the Dems.

I’m really glad Romney is not president right now. He would be more difficult to defeat in November.

It is a fine answer. If Rs think that nothing can or should be done to help, that is your prerogative. But you can’t then turn around and criticize Blacks from voting for Ds and blaming D policies for the state of the Black community.
