US Election 2020 - Pt 3

[OrbitalDawn]

Hey @Ancalagon - given your sincere concern around media coverage, what do you make of Trump's view that coverage of COVID should be illegal?

Trump Wants COVID-19 Media Coverage To Be Illegal: ‘Should Be An Election Law Violation’

President Donald Trump argued on Monday morning that it ought to be against the law for the news media to cover the pandemic ahead of the elections as the COVID-19 death toll in the U.S. surpasses 225…

Seems like the left has finally learnt from the right. I mean you guys spent the last 4 years ignoring evidence linking Trump to Russia and China.

Still looking for all that Russian collusion evidence. Steele dossier smoking gun any day now.

It always the left saying how people WANT to kill them, meanwhile the right is being ACTUALLY killed.

People have been killing Nazis since the 30s and good on them. Not sure what you're whining about.

Still not true, bro. Your feels are irrelevant.

The Escalating Terrorism Problem in the United States

The United States faces a growing terrorism problem that will likely worsen in the next year, particularly around the 2020 presidential election. The most significant threat likely comes from white supremacists, though anarchists and religious extremists could also pose a threat.

www.csis.org

Between 1994 and 2020, there were 893 terrorist attacks and plots in the United States. Overall, right-wing terrorists perpetrated the majority—57 percent—of all attacks and plots during this period, compared to 25 percent committed by left-wing terrorists, 15 percent by religious terrorists, 3 percent by ethnonationalists, and 0.7 percent by terrorists with other motives.

In 14 of the 21 years between 1994 and 2019 in which fatal terrorist attacks occurred, the majority of deaths resulted from right-wing attacks. In eight of these years, right-wing attackers caused all of the fatalities, and in three more—including 2018 and 2019—they were responsible for more than 90 percent of annual fatalities.

It comes with the territory of being a politician, particularly a high profile ones who loves to antagonise Republicans. A study in the UK showed Conservative MPs receiving the biggest increase in social media abuse just by the way.

Trump Political Appointee Removes Climate Agency’s Chief Scientist for Emphasizing Its Scientific Integrity Policy

NOAA’s integrity policy prohibits ideologically driven manipulation of scientific research.

slate.com

Mr. McLean had sent some of the new political appointees a message that asked them to acknowledge the agency’s scientific integrity policy, which prohibits manipulating research or presenting ideologically driven findings. The request prompted a sharp response from Dr. Noble. “Respectfully, by what authority are you sending this to me?” he wrote, according to a person who received a copy of the exchange after it was circulated within NOAA. Mr. McLean answered that his role as acting chief scientist made him responsible for ensuring that the agency’s rules on scientific integrity were followed. The following morning, Dr. Noble responded. “You no longer serve as the acting chief scientist for NOAA,” he informed Mr. McLean, adding that a new chief scientist had already been appointed. “Thank you for your service.”

The poll asked people who do they think will win, not who they think is the best choice...

Irony is probably a foreign concept to you.

I voted that Biden will win.

Trump really does not like his supporters does he?

He sees them as props for his fragile ego and his campaign for re-election.

Buses his supporters in to his rally on cramped buses, thus becoming perfect vectors for the virus (cramped, buses, no social distancing).

Packs them all in close, knowing very well that his previous rallies have all seen spikes in the virus.

Spews his usual rhetoric, gets in a HMX-1, flies off to AF1 and off he goes.

His supporters are left without buses to go back. Chaos ensues, old people pass out from the cold. Local authorities scrambling to resolve the matter.

He couldn't give a duck.

For a while I figured there was a line he'd cross where the lie was so ridiculous that Trumpists would just say 'okay, that's enough now'... But there really isn't, is there?

No amount of disrespect they won't eat up.

G.O.P.-Led Senate Panel Details Ties Between 2016 Trump Campaign and Russia

...the report showed extensive evidence of contacts between Trump campaign advisers and people tied to the Kremlin — including a longstanding associate of the onetime Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, Konstantin V. Kilimnik, whom the report identified as a “Russian intelligence officer.”

Senate Russia report proves Trump collusion was very real.

Far from a hoax, as the president so often claimed, the report reveals how the Trump campaign willingly engaged with Russian operatives implementing the influence effort. For instance, the report exposes interactions and information exchanged between Russian intelligence officer Konstantin Kilimnik and then-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. According to the report, campaign figures “presented attractive targets for foreign influence, creating notable counterintelligence vulnerabilities.” (Manafort was later convicted of tax and bank fraud.)

The findings draw a direct line between the president's former campaign chairman and Russian intelligence during the 2016 campaign.

Partisan Claims of ‘Russia Hoax’ Revived Ahead of 2020 Election

Quick Take

President Donald Trump and his supporters on social media are citing unverified “Russian intelligence” from 2016 as evidence that Hillary Clinton “was behind the entire Russian collusion hoax.” But that so-called intelligence is largely a reflection of publicly available information at the time. Federal investigations since then have documented multiple links between Trump associates and individuals tied to the Russian government.

But of course, you are going to ignore all this, which further supports my original point.

Trump appears to give a pass to the domestic kidnapping plot against Whitmer

President Donald Trump repeatedly attacked Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, during his rally in Lansing, Michigan, on Tuesday, at one point taking credit for the FBI thwarting a plot to kidnap her and then immediately downplaying the actual threat that had been posed to Whitmer.

edition.cnn.com

"I'm the one, it was our people that helped her out with her problem."
"I mean, we'll have to see if it's a problem. Right? People are entitled to say maybe it was a problem, maybe it wasn't," he added.

*unless you're trying to kidnap a Democratic governor.

Everyone here should listen to Gleen Greenwald's take on the media as it is today, and CNN's lack of reporting on the Hunter Biden scandal.

Glenn Greenwald, for those who don't know, was the journalist that Snowden partnered with when he revealed the mass spying operation. He is most certainly left aligned, although seems disillusioned by both left and right at the moment. Anyway, his take on media manipulation is interesting.

Fast forward to 39 minutes where they start talking about the Hunter Biden issue.
