The Politics Thread

That Dodge City thing is a HUGE mess. The bimbo that decided to move the polling location said she did so because of construction, except we find out there IS NO CONSTRUCTION. It's just a complete blatant attempt to keep Mexicans from voting. She's essentially another Kim Davis

Certainly nobody is beating down Scott Baio's door! LOL I don't think that 3 name whoever the hell he is is gonna have anyone check for him.

Partially that. Also I want to see for myself that things are running smoothly and no one is being bothered when they try to vote.  People think of Nebraska as all white, but Omaha itself isn't.

I can only imagine what Trump will unleash if the republicans lose on Tuesday.

I notice that Chuck Grassley keeps releasing these morsels about investigating various people involved with the Kavanaugh fiasco...all the way up to Election Day. I know the media, which is still fighting hard for a GOP comeback, will push this. I just hope the voters don't fall for it.

 

On another subject, here's an old piece on political ads.

Just wanted to let everyone know, that's all.

Many of us knew of the danger and were diminished for speaking about it.  I do knew exactly why America ignored journalists of color.

A tight race.  SMH.

Please don't take my comment personally, ClassicTVShowsFan.  It wasn't directed toward you at all.

Same here.

 

Nevertheless, I think the article makes two good points: 1) that it was NOT "economic anxiety," as Mathis and others have phrased it, that powered Trump; and 2) that newsrooms need more and better representation of people of color.

Zachery's not washed up at all and just simply chooses not to act anymore.

I hope people don't fall for this. I know overestimating people is a good way to be disappointed, but I don't think many people will fall for this.

I'm not surprised CNN is all over it. The media loves Republicans and will do anything to help them win. I see the generic ballot polls are also narrowing just in time for media gushing over the Republican comeback. It's the same old story. 

Kemp must truly be desperate to do this. Sadly, with the media's help, Republicans always get what they want in the end.

An article on the very poignant meeting between the pastor at Mother Emmanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston and the rabbi at Tree of Life Synagogue in Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh.
