What do you think he's looking at during the interview? A person (the interviewer), a man (the camera operator), a woman (Kellyanne), a camera (recording the interview), and a tv (monitor for playback).

It's interesting that they deliberately avoid calling Trump by name in that video. What's that about?

Cohen being released from prison again and back to home confinement.


https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/23/polit...sed/index.html

Quote:
New York (CNN)Michael Cohen will be released to home confinement, a judge ruled on Thursday, finding that the government acted in a retaliatory manner when it took President Donald Trump's former personal attorney and fixer into custody earlier this month.

"The purpose of transferring Mr. Cohen from furlough and home confinement to jail is retaliatory and its retaliatory because of his desire to exercise his first amendment rights to publish a book and discuss anything about the book or anything else he wants on social media and others," Judge Alvin Hellerstein ruled during a telephonic hearing.

Its a really sensitive topic, I cant go too far down the political path in a work situation, but he is proud to proclaim he is a big Trumper.

I used a funny trump background for one of our teams calls and he was quite offended by it.

I would like to pick the scab to get the answers you are looking for but its tough to go there in a work setting.

We were talking yesterday about Quinnipiac finding Biden up 1 in Texas, but their poll today is probably a bigger deal: Biden up 13 in Florida. (Biden's best poll in Florida this cycle, but not a huge outlier, as a few other polls have found him breaching the double-digit threshold in the last couple months.)

With 79% of Floridians thinking that masks are required, and about 60% oppose the reopening of schools there, with similar amounts on disapproving of both Desantis' and Trump's coronavirus handling. Also significant there, Floridians overall support removing confederate statues, renaming military bases, and see the confederate flag as a symbol of racism, so digging in his heels on those culture war issues may not be a way back to support in Florida.

Yeah that Quinnipiac Florida poll is devastating, expect the GOP suppression machine to kick into overdrive. Maybe even DHS agents trying to suppress on election day. All the cheating stops will be coming out now.

Do you think that the GOP has some epidemiological studies done that if you allow rampant spread of Covid now that you could get to herd immunity By mid October and show that you solved the problems. People would ignore the human cost and look at how much better they are now doing than the Blue states.

With 18 million in Florida say 75% needed for immunity and about 70 days to push through the population would mean you would need to infect 200k at day to reach herd immunity in time for it to impact the election.

Trump moved the RNC Convention from Charlotte to Jacksonville because the Dem governor wouldn't relax social distancing and masks, and now as Trump's poll numbers are in the gutter he cancels Jacksonville. What a ####ing guy. It's also hilarious to suggest the GOP even has a plan here. They quite clearly do not.

Okay, Joe, back into the basement with you again.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...093_story.html

Quote:
Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, on Wednesday called President Trump the country’s first racist to be elected to the White House.

The former vice president’s blunt assessment came during a virtual town hall organized by the Service Employees International Union after a health-care worker expressed concern that Trump continues to blame Asians for the coronavirus pandemic.

Biden signaled that he shared the questioner’s concern that Trump frequently refers to the pandemic as the “China virus,” saying, “the way he deals with people based on the color of their skin, their national origin, where they’re from, is absolutely sickening.”

“No sitting president has ever done this,” Biden said. “Never, never, never. No Republican president has done this. No Democratic president. We’ve had racists, and they’ve existed, they’ve tried to get elected president. He’s the first one that has.”

Right, I forgot that only mocking Trump was allowed in here. My bad.

Whats wrong with you? You sound more and more like Captcrunch in the Cdn politics thread.

No matter how much you whine Sanders isn't coming back.
