Nevermind! DOJ just re-uploaded the thing again, 7 lost ballots were for Donnie, 2 unknown, and it's all loving stupid because these were likely primary votes that didn't matter because he was the only one on the ballot.

to be fair, the way the sting operation was run was illegal as hell, but yes, i agree that the main reason the cops didn't get away with it was because they ensnared a rich white guy.

eh, it wasn't really that unlawful. If the officers had literally paused the cameras when women and had said in the warrant that they would try to make sure innocent activity was not filmed they probably would have passed constitutional muster. In some of the related cases, yes, police went waaaaay overboard in stupid ways. The Kraft case in particular, though, could have been lawful without a ton of changes.

that's actually my point- not that it couldn't be done legally, but that the cops had to do merely the slightest amount of work to keep the evidence admissible and they didn't because their evidence usually doesn't get cross-examined under a microscope by a high-powered legal team. it's less that rich guys are impervious to legal action and more that cops are often enough so sloppy that sometimes i'm amazed anyone gets convicted.

Valid point.

Did anyone else see Trump is sending out $200 visa giftcards to seniors to try to bribe them for their vote?

I thought it was posted earlier in the thread by someone

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/18/us/politics/trump-drug-prices.html

NY Times posted:

The drug companies would spend $150 billion to address out-of-pocket consumer costs and would even pick up the bulk of the co-payments that older Americans shoulder in Medicare’s prescription drug program.

Then the agreement collapsed. The breaking point, according to four people familiar with the discussions: Mark Meadows, Mr. Trump’s chief of staff, insisted the drug makers pay for $100 cash cards that would be mailed to seniors before November — “Trump Cards,” some in the industry called them.

Some of the drugmakers bridled at being party to what they feared would be seen as an 11th-hour political boost for Mr. Trump, the people familiar with the matter said.

.......
Regardless, one drug company executive said they worried about the optics of having the chief executives of the country’s leading pharmaceutical makers stand with the president in the Rose Garden as he hoisted an oversized card and gloated about helping a crucial bloc of voters.

Trump said it at his healthcare plan unveiling today, which was nothing more than a campaign stump speech. He said during the speech that he was sending $200 giftcards to medicare recipients to help pay for drugs and the Biden wouldn't do that for them. I'll have to see if I can find the tweets again.

Yeah he tried to get the drug companies to foot the bill too so he would be able to crow about "TURMP IS THE FART OF THE DEAL I GOT YOU DRUGS AND MONEY FROM BIG PHARMA DIRTY DEMS CANT DO THAT" but the drug companies didn't want to get sucked into that poo poo.

Considering his "healthcare plan" was basically the equivalent of "I like dogs", we'll see if that $200 materializes, where it came from, and what he's sacrificing to do it.

Also seniors are scared out of their minds from COVID, so $200 ain't gonna do poo poo.

Let's just do this poo poo already. I have no sentimental attachment to this way of life. Every person in the US needs a gut check so we can cleave off a bunch of the facebook-informed "I need to say something about this" crowd. Too many fast commenters, not enough listeners. Lots of ostriches who can not possibly believe the police force might be flawed and that some people might be suffering without universal health care, funding for education, and support for social programs. The sooner we start, the sooner those tactical gunfighter fetishists get dropped while they try and solo the raid.

Well, yeah, being vague is less committal than stating a specified number of weeks. It fits his bullshit perfectly.

I'm tired of having to balance having a job with the hearing the opinions of family and coworkers and trying to be the question asker that they can't be for themselves. Apparently, you can't believe everything you see unless Fox News showed it to you. There is not enough time in the day to show every article and video to demonstrate why they are wrong. Every bad thing is discounted with a "yeah, but..."

Nobody can admit to a mistake.

It started with a seed of discomfort when folks blindly venerated R TROUPS. Now, it's bootlickers and actual Trump Train merchandise purchasers.

This is a perfect time to go on operations. We're getting used to being without cushy comforts, so let's take it further. Let's go and take the poo poo from those MOLON LABE Moron Babies and liberate the Mountain and Central Timezones.
