Politico is reporting that Trump is mandating that all food aid boxes include a letter from him taking credit for the program.

Isn't this illegal? All it seems to be is a "free" campaign mailer.

He's fixated on that idea of being given personal credit for aid. There was a letter that went out with the stimulus checks, and he was trying to do the same thing with some sort of payment to seniors recently that I think didn't move forward.

Iffy. That's basically why per the article, a lot of these food banks were consulting with lawyers and poo poo about it. It's definitely scummy as all gently caress, but it isn't *quite* a Hatch Act (for the feds involved) / election law breaker because all of the VOTE FOR ME poo poo is stuff you have to read between the lines to see. It's very, very clearly not congressional intent, just like the letters he sent out with the $1200 checks.

It's just something you don't do, because as a decent person, you want to adhere to the letter and spirit of the laws. Donnie and co. aren't decent people, so here we are.

And to revisit a conversation a while back - Biden's now doorknocking in Nevada, Michigan, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania. Likely hitting the people that they're not reaching via phone.

That seems like a good idea. One of the biggest campaign post-mortems I'd be interested about is a forensic look at how badly the trump campaign wasted their oceans of cash. Seems like grifters all the way down, which I'm sure the democrats aren't immune to but in trump's case it appears to be crippling as they can't do crucial tv ad buys at the moment.

Oh that sounds good. The nearest Total Wine is next door to a Uwajimaya (awesome Japanese grocery store) so it's always fun to load up on premium dumplings and components for making sushi.

Any recommendations for Oktoberfest beers? I picked up some Sierra Nevadas and those are enjoyable, but I suspect there are better options.

All of my preferred craft ones are local only, but you should be able to find imported Paulaner, Hofbräu, Ayinger, etc. just about anywhere assuming you're not in the most podunk hickville.

Yeah, antifa was a loving terrible idea. It's a stupid word that doesn't roll off the tongue, and for a lot of people is just a word that means "that group of people". Should've just stuck with anti-fascists. If you are going to condemn anti-fascists, it's a lot hard to do when the language you are using confirms that you are fascist.

"Well of course I'm against fascism, BUT these Anti-Fascist guys go too far, they're too violent and they call everyone they don't like a fascist. I don't see any nazi stormtroopers goosestepping around, so there's nothing for them to fight against anyway."

The problem isn't that Americans aren't anti-fascist, it's that they're afraid of acknowledging the parts of American society that are fascist. They know what antifa stands for. But they've been trained to think that fascism only looks like 1930s Germany in the movies they've seen.
