Niric posted:It's not celebrating the turnout figures to say that voter apathy isn't a useful explanation because voters are less apathetic than previously. It's very unusual for an incumbent to increase their turnout at all, especially with no positive message like he had last time. The spooky scary socialism stuff is obvious horseshit, with the most right-wing dem candidate since I-don't-loving-know. The more sensible explanation is that people want the scary BLM protestors - who are broadly associated with both socialism & the dems - to go away. This could also explain why some latin american voters switched to Trump, when you'd more usually expect a demographic to just stay home when both sides promise to shaft them. That's my theory E: googling 358 instead brings up 538, a pollster that predicted a clean Biden sweep including the Senate & the House Borrovan fucked around with this message at 13:46 on Nov 4, 2020 |

zhar posted:if trump won but the house remains dem would the trade deal get blocked anyway? Yeah, but Boris is no way smart enough to realize that. With Biden in, he's straight up said its the GFA or no US deal. which gets through Boris's thick Etonian educated skull.

Just a reminder that Amanda Knox tried to frame an innocent man for the murder of Meridith Kercher. And that Patrick Lumbumba would have likely gone down for that murder, had he not been lucky enough to have a university professor provide him with a rock solid alibi on the night in question.

Wow, what a bitch of her to mislead those good and honest cops. quote:Describing the police interviews of Knox as of "obsessive duration", the judges said that the statements she made incriminating herself and Lumumba during interrogation were evidence of her confusion while under "great psychological pressure"

The investigation was led by a weirdo ex-Clergyman who believed that women were susceptible to witchcraft, so she might never have been in the position to have to try to frame anyone if it wasn't for that tosser.

Oh apparently he wasn't ex-clergy it was just something he considered and was interested in, but still a massive misogynist weirdo with prior convictions for abuse of power.quote:Prosecutors interviewed Knox for hours without a lawyer, allegedly hit her, and derived contradictory claims from both her and Sollecito about their whereabouts, accounts that both later claimed were false and extracted under duress. From there, the police spent months attempting to build their case against Knox and Sollecito, buoyed by the moral outrage of the Italian public and a wealth of circumstantial, largely shoddy evidence. love too inquisition

He had almost nothing to offer poc and went right at the racist white vote instead, and this is what happens. I mean we’ve seen in this thread now he’s told union men to gently caress off and told minorities to go vote for trump.

Not entirely sure that you interpreting “police psychologically torture foreigner into false confession” as a slam dunk take of “Amanda Knox tried to frame a guy” is a good take to have.

Hey I have another insanely bad take if this is bad take hour: Bloody Sunday was absolutely justified because the army said they were all armed with guns and bombs. Why would we have any reason to doubt the armies reports? They would never lie.

Beefeater1980 posted:All communities bigger than the immediate family are imaginary; they exist because we believe they do and they collapse if we stop believing in them. So theoretically all it would take is to change those communities is a good story. Brexit showed this and so does the HK thing: both played into the view that Tory voters have of themselves, which as far as I can tell is sensible, practical-minded people who are a bit stubborn but fundamentally decent. As opposed to our view of them which is inhuman ghouls who lust for our death. And Tory voters are a majority in England & Wales. Technically your family is a made up construct as well, if you want to be pedantic about it. Nuclear family, blood family, adoptive family, etc. can all be massive shitheads and being adopted by/related by blood to someone doesn't carry any sort of commitments or understanding of them, necessarily.

Oregon looks to be legalizing psilocybin and decriminalizing all drug possession with addiction recovery centers. Turns out cannabis was a gateway drug, but for states.

The skater has far higher contact surface pressure and so gets stuck, the tank just goes brr. Now imagine them crossing a frozen lake with 4" of ice. Only one of the two is getting across, the tank's getting fished out in summer.
