Less Fat Luke posted:I mean it's a powerful ad but Canada has handled it better and we can't visit dying relatives in the hospital either. And because the US has handled the virus worse than Canada, there is a magnitude greater number of people in the US for whom that ad is either a lived experience, or all-but assured to be a lived experience in the near future. And sometime ads that have this “THIS COULD BE YOU SOON” undercurrent to them are really powerful.

FlamingLiberal posted:Personally I think it’s overconfidence and also they are broke I see a lot of things happening here. Besides the Hitler bunker mentality, the grotesque incompetence, people stripping the copper wiring from the walls as the grift train is coming to an end (so you mix all these metaphors up and put them in a blender...), I think the Trump campaign is counting on a repeat of 2016 and the cult of personality to carry them over the finish line. No need for ads when nobody can stop talking about Trump. And if it doesn't work, they've been working hard for months to cheat every possible way they can.

Tibalt posted:The thing I hate the most about Trump are these bread crumbs that he constantly leaves to his neuroses and insecurities in his public statement. Why is he so fixated on Covid antibodies? Maybe it's because he got that experimental antibody treatment. Maybe his body didn't develop it's own antibodies. Maybe a doctor explained that to him, explained that he could get sick again. Maybe he saw all the speculation about it and is fronting about the great wonderful antibodies. He talks up the Regeneron antibody cocktail because he's golfing buddies with the Regeneron CEO. He refers to it as "Regeneron" and doesn't mention the antibodies that much. He doesn't know poo poo and noone's told him poo poo about antibodies, he's just marketing his buddy's product and he's a narcissist so he's claiming he's definitely immune and in perfect health.

Youth Decay posted:Hell yeah! Gotta admit, it looks so much better right now. Part of me wants to see it preserved in some kind of museum environment (graffiti and all) but it's such a physically massive object I have no idea where it could even go. I've seen some 3D computer renderings of the monument with all of its tagging included so maybe smaller reproductions could be created so future generations can see what the voice of the people looked like.

I genuinely want photos, or maybe video, of Biden's team arriving at the White House in January. You know there won't be an actual transition, so they'll be showing up for the first day at a looted west wing and I want to see what it looks like and their reactions.

I would love to see Trump be super petty and loot the White House because that would be nice and obvious and America could see how poo poo he was. Unfortunately what I think will happen is he'll do a bunch of bribed pardons and EOs to help his friends make as much money in the short term as possible. He'll likely do some stock market manipulation so he and his pals can do some insider trading and all that fuckery.

If anyone remembers, when GWB was sworn in, there was a minor kerfuffle about Clinton staffers prying the W keys from all the keyboards in the White House. I’m not sure if it even actually happened or not but it was considered somewhat scandalous at the time. But that, my friends, is the standard for lame-duck sabotage. Something tells me an outgoing Trump administration will be slightly more extreme. I’m thinking upper-decking every toilet in the White House.

The circle is an amazingly striking piece of protest art, to the degree that the NYT wrote it up as such, and it's definitely worthy of memorialization in a way the dude at its center is not. I'll try and get the court's ruling in full when it's up, but it sounds pretty drat sweeping, holding that the restrictive covenant at issue is basically white supremacist in nature and therefore rendered unenforceable by current public policy. e: Here's the full text of the actual opinion in the Robert E.
