Surprised that Jacksonville or GOP Convention aren't

In the top 10 trends on twitter....I guess no one gives a shit, which is great news!

Another poll has Biden with a comfortable lead

Biden 49 - Trump 41
I will say one thing about these latest polls, although in 2016 most polls showed Clinton leading, the leads were mostly 1-5% points while Biden’s leads have been 5-10% points

Gone with the Wind

No one in my liberal circle was asking for Gone with the Wind to be pulled by HBO....now the conservatives are all up in a tizzy blaming liberals....I can see people saying “things are going too far now.”...it’s almost as if HBO pulled it so that they could take away from this movement where people are finally being called out and held accountable for their racism....but by pulling a stunt like this, it gets thrown in to the same pile as taking down conservative monuments where as the two aren’t the same

Did Hillary lose because she was a woman

I bring this up because I think Biden is going to win. And the reason he is going to win is because he will get these type of voters

1. Republicans who didn’t like trump, but couldn’t stand Hillary.

2. Democrats who just didn’t bother to vote because they couldn’t stand Trump, but couldn’t stand Hillary.

Now the question is could they not stand Hillary because she was a woman or was 3 decades of negative press from the right wing or MSM....I think it is the latter.

I am getting so tired

Of the “black on black crime” and “what about Chicago” crowd....

- For one a lot of liberals spoken out on those issues
- For two those issues are totally different from black people getting killed by police or want to be tough guys, who then either don’t get charged or it takes protesting to get them charged....I would say that when it comes to black on black crime, the perpetrators are charged immediately.

Why do reporters suck at follow up questions

Jake Tapper just had Ben Carson on and asked him about his feelings on NFL players kneeling....Carson gives an answer about how the players need to come out and say that they respect the flag, and military and blah blah blah, and they aren’t protesting the flag but protesting injustice....And Tapper says thank you instead of a follow up stating that that is what they have already said

Edit: now I am watching MSNBC and Vashir is asking hard follow up questions to a liberal, why can’t they do that with a conservative...

Difference between Ivanka and her brothers

I can’t stand them all, but at least her brothers have embraced their right wing views and don’t hide them, she is fake and pretends to be moderate and independent.
