US Election 2020 - Pt 2

He did not expect to win. They had done no preparations of who would staff key positions. Some positions went for months unfilled.

Melania looked like someone was dragging her over broken glass at the inauguration.

Melania Trump's face falls from a wide smile to a frown during her husband's inauguration. He smile only came when Donald Trump turned towards her. It was gone when he turned back around.

Can we speculate as to which best person is going to be arrested next ? All the bestest people seem to be either arrested or behind bars.

Please be this guy, please be this guy...

Unprepared maybe, but you cannot say that him winning was a mere accident.

I don't think it was accidental. He did it for his brand. The cohorts pushed him, because they saw him ushering in their agenda, because he is too ignorant to understand the implications of such policies and statements.

He listened because saying those things got him votes. He loves the attention.

Some of the cohorts stayed with him thinking they could guard against the overt stupidity, they thought they could help filter him, these are the ones have left, like Kelly, McMaster etc.

Trump certainly did not come close. He split it further apart.

Trump is a symptom, not a cause of the split.

The cause of the split is the infiltration of identity politics into the mainstream culture:

You think you can have a unified society when an explicitly racial term like "whiteness" becomes embedded in the media? Or totalitarian concepts like the DIE religion?

I think for this to be accurate it needs to be normalized for just the amount of news articles increasing.

Clickbait wasn't such a big thing in early 2000's.

However I do agree with what it shows, just maybe not the magnitude.

Doubt it. Use Occam's razor here. Simplest reason is that he did it because he thought he would be good at it. Which is the same reason why anyone runs for office.

Trump recovering a touch in betting markets:



Although it must be noted (as Ladbrokes Politics points out), the betting markets are much more bullish on Trump that other election predictive tools:

Most Americans don't read anything except Facebook posts and since we grow more and more detached from society through Facebook and Google algorithms nobody outside of Facebook and Alphabet could properly predict the turnout.

Because society did not acknowledge racism, sexism etc as much in the 1970's (i.e. a few years after the Civil Rights Act and other momentous occasions), and is now recognising the issues about racism, sexism and so forth, this is a bad thing?


Should we go back to when we hid these issues, such as bullying, or homophobia?

Many of those phrases only came into existence recently.

Internet. Now everybody is an exspurt. While it's good for raising issues, it now gives people the ability to fan non-issues to a crisis level as well. Enter agendas and here we are.

Not for election results, not anymore. Not because of Trump or anything, but because I have been thinking about it carefully about what polling does, vs what it wants to achieve.

Polling is fundamentally down to random sampling to make a prediction about an event.

The event in question, is what someone will cast when they at an election booth. That is a different event from phoning someone and asking them if they will vote for X or Y. If the election worked by getting a phone call and being asked whether you will vote for X or Y, polling would be much more valid.

This is true.

There is a good book that covers this - The Death of Expertise

The graphs were pretty flat till about 2010. You know, after the most racist country in the world elected a black president by popular vote. And before Donald Trump made his appearance.

Diversity, Inclusion and Equity and all the other SJW terms you like to throw around are not things that acknowledge racism and sexism. They are things that propagate it. So yes, they are a bad thing.

Apparently you think the civil rights act happened without people talking about it instead of acknowledging the more obvious truth: a new ideology emerged.

Should we go back to when we hid these issues, such as bullying, or homophobia?

Do you like demagogues like Trump destroying democracy? Cuz that's the price you're paying for your virtue signalling here.

Yes. Who came up with these concepts? Tell us, please.

Trump Jr’s Pathetic Attempt To Distance From Bannon Fails Miserably

Trump Jr's Pathetic Attempt To Distance From Bannon Fails Miserably

Stephen (Steve) Bannon was captured by the Post Office officials in a delicious bit of irony. As soon as the president was questioned by reporters about the arrest of his former campaign co-manager and top adviser, Trump Sr. suddenly had a bad case of “who?” Now, the question becomes will he distance from his eldest son, too.

Bannon was arrested on a $35 million 170-foot luxury yacht — no word on whether he was wearing the three shirts he normally wore. The vessel was described by Burgess Yachts as having:

‘The interior is an elegant blend of white marble, bleached oak, stainless, and Macassar ebony that creates a modern yet warm and welcoming environment. The large windows allowing plenty of natural light in the saloon and the cleverly designed rotating seating area allows guests to maximise the stunning views.’

Trump Sr.’s children must know that the president speaks n a sort of code, much like a mob boss. Then, people go out and do what he broadly hinted about. Most of them eventually have been caught. At that point, the commander-in-chief has done his backward crawl and distanced even from a man who spent so much time in his inner circle.


When reporters questioned POTUS in the Oval Office, he said, according to CNN:

‘I feel very badly. I haven’t been dealing with him for a very long period of time, as most of the people in this room know.’

Donald Trump Jr. learned from a master and he has been back-peddling away from Bannon and the fake nonprofit “We Build the Wall.” A group of people close to the president were involved in setting up an organization advertised as seeking private funds to help build Trump’s wall along the nation’s southern border.
