Older video, the polling stuff is obviously irrelevant now, so skip to 5:20. The "Latinx" example they talk about towards the end is a pretty perfect example.

Oklahoma supreme court rejected a group trying to stop the rally. The mayor also rescinded the curfew so I think the party is getting going down there.

This has the potential to get really ugly tonight. Hopefully things will stay peaceful, but I have serious doubts.

Also, I assume Trump will reach an entirely new level of crazy tonight with his speech. Dude hasn't had a rally in months, so no doubt he'll be itching to throw some red meat to the deplorables.

Hmm... I'll take the under. There's a real chance he just vaguely refers to them as "those people, you know the ones I'm talking about".

I can't recall the exact numbers but Fauci was on CNN describing the upcoming outbreak from the Tulsa rally. You can assume there will be about 200 positive people at the rally. About 20% will be shedding and spreading. So about 40 people will likely infect about 80 people who will then infect about 160 people and so on. I didn't pay attention that well but it wasn't really as bad as I thought it might be. I was honestly kind of hoping for several thousand. And yes, I know that makes me a terrible person.

It could very well end up at several thousand once all those people leave the arena and go about their daily lives, while unknowingly spreading it around in the process. Since the Trump administration has basically declared victory over the virus and everything is opening back up, I'm betting we'll see a massive uptick in cases in that sate over the next few weeks. I'm guessing at least 95% of the crowd at this rally believes that the virus is a left-wing hoax created by the Dems to hurt their supreme leader. It's highly doubtful that any of these morons will self isolate after attending this thing.

Yes but they go back to their gated retirement communities or trailer parks depending on income and spread it there, within a month you are looking at several thousand easy

One article I read suggested that It would be a lot more similar to the choir event where 1 infects 20. It estimated around a 1000 people.

Never heard about it until our hearing one of our executives speak about it. It is particularly well known in the southern states.

Can we stop with this whole farce?

Republicans are going to either vote for Trump or stay home. There may be a small (very small) number that suck it up and vote for Biden if they have any sense of decency, but it doesn't matter who Biden picks, outside of a reanimated Reagan, you aren't going to get enough Republicans to abandon the GOP to make a dent. And there really aren't that many "undecided" voters. Those "undecideds" by and large have their teams picked out now, even if they aren't vocalizing it.

You have to mobilize your base. For Trump that is the far right, the 2A voters, the pro-life voters; that's why he pointed out the need for a more Conservatively stacked SCOTUS. For Biden he needs the minority vote. Period. Your general run of the mill Democrat is going to vote for him. You need to mobilize the Black vote, the youth vote. That is where Obama won and where Clinton lost.

I was in Arizona for a basketball tournament and I went to Mrs. White's Black Restaurant on June 19th for their big party and cook out. I learned about it that way. So much food.

The Trump situation would be at least 60% more hilarious if it wasn't for the horrifyingly unethical behavior of Barr and McConnell

More on this story. So much blatant corruption.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/19/polit...ton/index.html

Quote:
Berman's rebuttal came about an hour after the Department of Justice announced Trump intends to nominate Jay Clayton, the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, who has never been a prosecutor.

A Justice Department official told CNN that Berman was offered other positions at Justice, including the head of the civil division, where assistant Attorney General Jody Hunt abruptly announced his departure this week. Berman declined. Barr asked Berman to resign in an in-person meeting in New York on Friday, the source said.

A second source with knowledge of the matter said Berman was asked to resign and refused.

Berman's unexpected exit is likely to draw scrutiny inside the US attorney's office and among career prosecutors. He had been the US attorney for Manhattan since 2018, and under his leadership, his office prosecuted Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen, is investigating top Trump confidante Rudy Giuliani and indicted the former New York mayor's associates Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman.

Quote:
The timing of the move, announced shortly before 10 p.m. ET, immediately raised questions about the circumstances regarding Berman's departure.

Preet Bharara, a CNN senior legal analyst who was fired by Trump as US attorney for the Southern District shortly after Trump took office in 2017, told CNN's Don Lemon that the late-night announcement was a "highly irregular thing to do ... when there are all sorts of investigations swirling around."
"The President, his associates, there may be anger about the way that some of the prior investigations were conducted, with respect to his former lawyer Michael Cohen and others," he added.

And Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the "late Friday night dismissal reeks of potential corruption of the legal process. What is angering President Trump? A previous action by this U.S. Attorney or one that is ongoing?"

Before Clayton was nominated to the SEC post by Trump, he was a corporate lawyer at Sullivan & Cromwell. If confirmed, Clayton would be the first non-prosecutor to lead SDNY.

Barr and Clayton have known each other for years, the Justice official said, and Clayton was planning to leave to go back to NY. He expressed interest in the SDNY job, the Justice official said, and Barr agreed.
