Mitch Mcconnell and Donald Trump had quite a lot to do with creating the narrative! Seems to me!

Without naming names I could see where some of the erstwhile participants on here found all of that to be innocent fun! One can sort of see it with the ongoing derision of Elizabeth Warren! Again in the interest of innocent fun!

I found it interesting to see that Elizabeth Warren managed to climb from her lower middle class roots in Oklahoma to become a professor of law at The University of Texas and Harvard University and is considered to be an expert in the field of bankruptcy law.

All of this to be referred to as Pocahontas by our bigot in Chief whose daddy gave him over $200 Million in order to become a big shot!

Instead of referring to a cop as stupid for arresting a black man in a case of mistaken identity, maybe say "unfortunate, but mistakes happen."

In addition to my son would have looked like Trayvon, if you are going to make it racial, maybe reiterate that it was a black person shot by a hispanic person, and it was a hispanic person acquitted, not a white person.

Maybe instead of simply condemning the police for Michael Brown, maybe at least throw in there that Michael Brown shouldn't have been out robbing stores in the first place.

You don't have to agree, but in my opinion, he could have done down a lot more to unify and bring together. If he would have done that, Trump would still be making TV shows

the cop was being stupid.

i thought he was perfectly reasonable in all of his responses to these other situations.

I am strictly neutral and think both sides are incompetent and incapable of solving the country’s problems. On top of that I will not be voting. That being said, here is what I think will happen on election night:

In Alabama, Ivy will beat Maddox by 25/30 points

In Ga, Kemp will beat Abrams in a close contest

Dems will take control of Congress by winning 25-35 seats and will immediately introduce articles of impeachment within one week

Gillum will win Florida

Republicans will tighten hold on US senate by picking up 2-3 members

After seeing several of the exchanges in the debate it was clear that Desantis was way over matched by Gillum and knew it right away. He became very unsettled with the barrage he was undergoing!

In 2016, I bought two voting machines online for less than $100 apiece. I didn't even have to search the dark web. I found them on eBay.

If getting voting machines delivered to my door was shockingly easy, getting inside them proved to be simpler still. The tamper-proof screws didn’t work, all the computing equipment was still intact, and the hard drives had not been wiped. The information I found on the drives, including candidates, precincts, and the number of votes cast on the machine, were not encrypted. Worse, the “Property Of” government labels were still attached, meaning someone had sold government property filled with voter information and location data online, at a low cost, with no consequences...

I was able to access the file structure and operating system. Since the machines were not wiped after they were used in the 2012 presidential election, I got a great deal of insight into how the machines store the votes that were cast on them. Within hours, I was able to change the candidates' names to be that of anyone I wanted. When the machine printed out the official record for the votes that were cast, it showed that the candidate's name I invented had received the most votes on that particular machine.

Hey guys, isn't privatization awesome?

But seriously, this needs to be fixed. Voting without a paper trail is just too dangerous (see: Georgia).
