October: Surprise!

Nystral posted:

I don’t get the logic here. But maybe I’m just in the old mindset of LOL SC ever going not racist and thinking that the voters will never vote another Democrat in a state wide election

A common thread is that EVERYONE hates Lindsey Graham. He's been in washington forever and keeps waffling for/against Donnie and Donnie's voters can't stand that kind of thing. Considering black turnout in SC basically got Biden the nomination, you can squint hard at all of the above and Harrison could make the SC Senate race close.

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

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.

Ah well, nevertheless...

Just to give a bit more information here, the upper-levels of the state are Democratic as hell. The governor hates Donnie, the AG is a lesbian democrat, and this case is basically open-and-shut. The robocalls were absurdly easy to tie back to Wohl/Berkman and this isn't like the weird securities fraud case he caught back in California.

They're really, really hosed on this one. And they're state charges, so Donnie can't do poo poo.

Correct, hyper-low risk. They never got close the whole night. There was also a Trump side (few masks) and a Biden side (all masks) at the debate, so even that risk is kind of low.

Oh who am I kidding, he'd never be able to do the quarantine lie because he's blow it the moment he went to play golf or to go to one of his stupid rallies.

We're now very, very much into "can't trust anyone" territory. We can't trust a single drat thing that comes out of the white house, unless it's basically leaked out by disgruntled staffers (like Hope Hicks's positive was). Even if he's magically negative now, he might not be in a few days. Also, he's desperate to show himself as big and strong, also that COVID is no big deal.

Like this observation:

By Thursday, it was clear that something unusual was happening at the White House, aides said. Several staff members who have avoided masks were suddenly wearing them.

On Thursday evening, before his own diagnosis was made public, Mr. Trump sounded raspy on a call with Iowa voters and in an interview later with Sean Hannity on Fox News. Some aides chalked it up to a busy week of campaigning.

I think it's real, he sounds symptomatic too.

Just loling so hard that he blamed the military for getting Hope/him sick before the test results even came back. The stupid has overwhelmed all.

Man, what a dick move that is. Even if Trump and Biden were significantly distanced from one another, I think their respective staffers were probably in much closer proximity throughout the night.

I have a different viewpoint on that: they don't have the slightest idea what the gently caress and can't even figure out their own poo poo yet. Please observe the following pornography:

https://twitter.com/schwartzbCNBC/status/1312044870920548354?s=19

I think they tried to keep Typhoid Hope under wraps until they figured out how bad the problem was. Now that they know how Bad it is, there's a massive panic ongoing. They've never cared about the guidelines, so they don't know the guidelines, and when they're told about actual contract tracing and isolation times they're like WHAT.

Also, since the whole white house hasn't taken this thing seriously, even today, any contact tracing is worthless. They don't even know who was exposed and when yet, so reaching out to the Biden campaign never even entered their minds because of how hosed everything still is internally.

We already covered this, the test is basically a coin flip.

From what I've been reading, the White House is still using the Abbott 15-minute coin flip tests. There's apparently a decently good 45-minute test, but they're avoiding using that one because they're stupid.

The Bidens' test was actually the full-blown good one though:

https://twitter.com/jmartNYT/status/1312065476244262913?s=19

I keep seeing that Biden has access to the fast-testing as well, but not sure if it's the hot garbage variety. Either way though, we're still in the incubation period for a lot of this poo poo anyways. For the debate, everyone got tested and the Mayo Clinic were reporting back reporters' tests in 2-6 hours.

But seriously, coronavirus and how much Donnie sucked at it is going to be the lead story, don't really need to hit that very hard right now. Flood the waves with good, positive ads about Biden and it really doesn't matter what advertising nonsense Donnie's team throws out.

After all, the biggest whine for democratic leaners is "I know orange man bad, but what will Biden do for me?" You sure as gently caress don't pull ads offline, just the "tasteless" ones.
