I know we keep saying it, but thank you all and especially Bery for this great place to go. Always makes me feel a bit better. - Spawn Sep 19, 14:46 15

- Completely agree, but now I'm kinda worried about you. Does this mean you're going to stop ruining things? - ReluctantCynic Sep 19, 15:29
- It makes me feel good to see there are reasonable people all over the place. If you just went by media, you'd think everyone had lost it. -- nm* - jnine Sep 19, 15:28

- "approved of" -- nm - assistant TO the regional manager Sep 19, 14:43
- This has all been such a farce. I know it’s Trump but under no circumstances should the President be able to force sale a company to an American one. -- nm - Qale Sep 19, 14:33 2
  - Truth, grandstanding at best -- nm - budice Sep 19, 14:45
  - No wonder he thought the treasury would get a check out of this. -- nm - Spawn Sep 19, 14:39
If we trust actblue's contribution ticker, I just watched them raise a million in 13.5 minutes -- nm - ty97 Sep 19, 14:20 4

  - So can Iowa. I don't know much about Daines, but Joni Ernst is utterly horrid. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Sep 19, 15:34 1
    - Daines is super close to Trump and is anti net neutrality, DACA, same sex marriage and the ACA. He wants to abolish the Dept. of Education. -- nm - jnine Sep 19, 15:42

  - :-) -- nm - mud Sep 19, 14:19
  - nice -- nm - budice Sep 19, 14:17 3
    - But really, this is a hard R county so makes sense they want them to get there. -- nm - Spawn Sep 19, 14:38 2
      - CA absentee and mail in ballots don't require postage as of last year. No excuse not to vote for all of those college kids who claimed they didn't - jnine Sep 19, 14:44 1
        
        I like this having postage on it already. It is like, vote or you will waste it! -- nm - Spawn Sep 19, 14:47

- statement: -- (link) - mud Sep 19, 13:29 6
  - This actually is the logical position for her in her race. We'll see if she hold to this position after Nov 3 should Biden win -- nm - ty97 Sep 19, 13:40 3
    - And she loses -- nm - spamlet Sep 19, 14:09 2
      - Lose or win, she could back off. Sure, folks would use it against her when she runs next (should you win this year) but that's in 2026 - ty97 Sep 19, 14:13 1
        
        I think she's much more likely to switch if she loses no matter who wins the Presidency. -- nm - spamlet Sep 19, 15:08
  - annndd she won't be re-elected or she'll reconsider that. -- nm - Remlik Sep 19, 13:33
  - She's giving herself an out. The new Senators don't get seated right away. They could vote after the election, but before they are seated. I know - jnine Sep 19, 13:33

  - Yeah, of the stretch goals (anything beyond AZ/ME/NC/CO), I need to see Graham lose the most. -- nm - Tim Sep 19, 13:30
- I want a Colorado poll to know if Gardner is done, or if he's DONE. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 19, 13:22 3
  - Most recent one I could find was Hickenlooper 52, Gardner 42, but D-leaning pollster. -- (link) - Tim Sep 19, 13:25
  - Yes, give me the stick a fork in him poll. -- nm - Spawn Sep 19, 13:25 1
    - I want him to think he’s got hope...that ramming this through ends his job. Too large a gap, he might decide to throw the Molotov himself. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 19, 13:49
- (Act Blue processed $35 million yesterday, holy shit.) -- nm - Tim Sep 19, 13:19 6
  - Yup. If anyone was worried that Dems wouldn't be fired up, this is the answer. -- nm - Reagen Sep 19, 13:36 3
    - I would also argue that with everyone quarantined over the summer, they have more money to donate than they would have in regular circumstances. - Max Sep 19, 13:49 1
      - I’m getting one of, if not the biggest paycheck of my life next week, and after bills, I’m donating to something. - Tim Sep 19, 13:55
    - This. If Biden squanders this enthusiasm I'll be pissed. - TWuG Sep 19, 13:44
  - I wonder if the Republicans got a bump too. -- nm - jnine Sep 19, 13:34 1
    - I'm certain they did, though I wonder if it equates? -- nm - ty97 Sep 19, 13:54

Met my state senator today and we fist bumped. - Tim Sep 19, 13:06
I'm so out of it that I looked at the time and thought, "Almost time to leave work." -- (edited) - Spawn Sep 19, 13:04
The Lincoln Project guys got quiet fast. -- nm - Tim Sep 19, 12:24 5
- I expect they are having quite the internal debate. - ty97 Sep 19, 13:32 1
  - I am hoping they are just waiting to have the right ammunition to continue the attack. -- nm - Spawn Sep 19, 13:50
- Honestly, I don’t think anyone really knows where this goes. Today is the day for shock and awe to destroy any hope they could get away. - Will Hunting Sep 19, 13:03
- fuckers -- nm - mud Sep 19, 12:35
- mmmhmm. I was going to say something this morning that this is a real test for those guys. -- nm - Reagen Sep 19, 12:25

  - iirc you need president, House and Senate, they just have 2 of the 3 -- nm - Beaker Sep 19, 12:24 2
    - They had all 3 after 2016 but for a lot of people this is really a shot too far. - spamlet Sep 19, 12:36
    - OK, that makes sense. (NM) - Marlowe Sep 19, 12:33
Eric Trump agrees to testify in New York investigation — but not until after election - crash davis Sep 19, 11:59 4
- Because, reasons. -- nm* - Spawn Sep 19, 12:07 3
  - The only reason I can think of is that he is flirting with the idea of telling the truth. -- nm - crash davis Sep 19, 12:38 2
    - Rather, he knows that they already know the truth. This way it doesn't hurt his father's re-election. -- nm - Spawn Sep 19, 13:00 1
