much of the one billion they once had on hand ended up in trump businesses and family members' pockets.

They ran pro-Trump ads in DC. DC which goes blue by a landslide every single year. Literally millions of dollars just so Trump could see pro-Dump ads when he turned on the TV.

7. No worries, barr and johnson are about to drop a report straight from the pages of russian playbook

Sheer propaganda and lies. This is “her emails”. The media will breathlessly report this as the worst sin of all time from now until the election all free of charge. ABC is airing a town hall tonight billed as “no question off limits”. As if. That mother fucker would be running out of the room by the third question if that were true.

8. Let's hope Barr's report a dud

I have a feeling Barr’s timing will be to repeat Comey’s in 2016, which will be to drop this fake “report” 2 weeks before the election. Doesn’t give much time for a response. However, this isn’t 2016 in that the surprise factor isn’t there. Biden’s campaign knows Barr is going to try and release some phony Russia smear doc regarding Ukraine so I would suspect they are well prepared. I’m also hoping the Biden campaign hold a bomb of their own. The news media can’t focus on more than one scandal at a time (constantly chasing the next headline grabber), and Americans seem to have the attention span of a gnat so if the Barr propaganda report released first, Biden’s campaign drops their Trump bombshell next and everyone’s attention turns to that.

Sad how easy it is to distract and persuade the American voting public in general.

2. Trump can't win without Florida.

There’s no realistic way that he can get to 270 without Florida’s electoral votes. Trump could win Florida and still lose the election, but he can’t win the election without Florida. This is a particularly strategic move on Bloomberg’s part, and I welcome it.

11. Bloomberg is putting up $100 million toward the Hispanic vote in Florida
Mon Sep 14, 2020, 02:23 PM

Meanwhile there were posts here condemning Bloomberg for not doing anything, and ones condemning the notion that anything was wrong with the Hispanic vote in Florida

I guarantee there was plenty of crossover

Please don't speculate on anything with actual cash
