Mike Birbiglia on his podcast "Working it Out" had Ronnie Chang on a few weeks ago. They talked about how insane it is that the President of the United States believes in conspiracy theories, as he's who the conspiracy theories are supposed to be about!
I can totally imagine Trump saying to Stephen Miller: Hey Steve, did you hear the President is a lizard person? Makes sense if you think about it.
Miller: Ugh sir, you're the President.
Trump: I know right!

Question about mail in voting and these stories we hear about bags of mail missing/undelivered.
Is there some way to confirm your vote has been submitted and counted? Providing you the opportunity to vote in person if it hasn’t? Curious about how this works.
Yes. Every ballot is barcoded and is scanned upon receipt by the County Recorder. Now the availability of this information varies from state-to-state but you can call and confirm the receipt of your ballot. Some states, like Arizona, have an web-based system where you can track your ballot from when it has been sent out, and to when it has been received. I used this process when the ballots were first sent out, and it was highly accurate. It told me when the ballot was sent out, expected range of date for delivery (two days later), and then when I filled it out and took it right back to a drop box, when it was received (the next day).
How ballots are handled, like everything else with elections, is a states rights thing, so it varies. In Arizona, they pre-count, so my ballot has already been added to the counts. In other states, it is handled differently. This site tells you when ballot counting begins and how absentee and mail in ballots are handled.
Hope it passes. Hope it spreads to other states. Most teens don’t vote, but I’d rather have 17 year olds given the chance to move the country forward rather than almost anyone over 80.
That’s probably ageist of me, but seniors tend to be conservative, religious, and as a consequence anti-choice, anti-civil rights, and generally not in the liberal progressive camp - even though most won’t live to see the consequences of their votes.

The nice thing about 17 year old's voting is it can become a teaching point for social studies class, and motivate them while they are younger.
I just listened to Trump claiming ignorance of Q'anon. Besides it being obviously a lie, I was begging the moderator to say "But you're the president, you have to know about them." Everyone else in the country knows about them. It seems like a glaring admission of ignorance. Basically begging people to believe the best case scenario is that you're an idiot.
Early TV numbers have Biden's Town Hall beating Trump's, and I'm sure Trump will simply ignore this irrelevant metric and not take it too seriously.
I think so but by just a little bit so far...
Quote:
According to analysis by Samba TV, the cross-screen television data and analytics provider, 6.3 million US households tuned into Trump’s town hall, a 209 per cent increase from the previous town hall, while Biden had 6.9 million US households tune in, up 291 per cent
I actually expected Trump ratings would be better. Not because more people would be interested in what he has to say, but because more people would be curious about what bat #### crazy things he was going to say.

Unlike Mr. Trump, who has posited that he feels like “Superman” and left the hospital as quickly as possible, Mr. Christie said that the virus is “something to take very seriously. The ramifications are wildly random and potentially deadly.”
In the interview, Mr. Christie did not directly fault Mr. Trump, who has been dismissive about mask wearing and said catching the virus was “a blessing from God” after being released from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Mr. Christie did say he had a false sense of safety by the fact that everyone around the president was required to be tested each day, including everyone in the debate sessions.
“I don’t know who infected me and I don’t know how frequently he was tested,” he said of Mr. Trump. While aides have left the impression publicly that Mr. Trump was tested daily, the president himself has acknowledged he was not.
Mr. Christie said that even at the event for Ms. Barrett on Sept. 26, “I was put in the third row, and what they told us was that everybody in the first three rows had been tested that day and tested negative.”

Clarification: the measure is to allow 17-year olds to vote in the primaryonly if they will turn 18 prior to the general election. So it's about giving some 17-year olds the opportunity to help select who will be on the ballot in November (when they will be 18), not reducing the actual voting age.

Well the Biden townhall was on ABC while Trump was on MSNBC. I ended up finding the orange moron on Facebook live vids.
The cheeto is going to stroke out this morning! haha

Thank god. That makes a lot more sense.
