By blackace Go To Postshit… that boy is going to be fucked up later in lifeAdoptees make up 75% of the black people in Trump rallies
By Fenderputty Go To PostThey been pushing Haley as the future for while. Couple pundits seemed shocked people thought this yesterday (Jane wtf girl)It's not a surprise. Her jumping into the Trump admin early and leaving at a good time may have just cut 10+ years off her wait. She was already angling herself pretty damn well for a VP pick prior to the 2016 fukkery convention.
It feels like they want to create this quasi-trump-reagan candidate. Someone who can attract every demo of their base. Her speech at the RNC was that. She praises Trump and lies as she compares him to Reagan and such.
It's not even some quasi Trump Reagan thing.
Her platform is gonna be republicans but socially palatable. And I honestly don't know how Democrats are gonna deal with it since they've given that option and summer stroll of a path to the GOP for years now. I mean shit, Democrats can barely keep the act up anymore.

No it will be a Reagan thing too. Righties seem to be musing she can also tone down some of that populism and being back some of that bootstraps pitch.
We’re al wondering where the party goes after Trump leaves and I think she’s the direction they’ll try. Establishment an all that ...
The socially palatable thing is what a watered down female trump supporter is honestly. She an immigrant and was tough on dictators at the UN ( lol Putin) too!

That seems too convenient to be true.
By Fenderputty Go To PostNo it will be a Reagan thing too. Righties seem to be musing she can also tone down some of that populism and being back some of that bootstraps pitch.This isn't some new thing, Haley has basically taken Tulsi's DNC chair path, condensed it to 6 years or so, and convinced the rest of the party that the brand of populism she's bringing is far more workable than the uncomfortable situation the GOP finds themselves in now. Her going to Boeing and leaving at the absolutely perfect time. Her dabbling in the international theater, etc. She's filled out a resume of talking points that win no matter what.

She's been the party's go-to since she left Boeing and the nom for 2024 has been hers to lose for a while now.
I still don't think establishment Dems understand why they're always struggling or uncertain with women either and it's just comical at this point.
By Perfect Blue Go To Postlol Trump is winning independents according to that poll? howhow indeed 😂
By Perfect Blue Go To Postlol Trump is winning independents according to that poll? how
Because they're Republicans
By reilo Go To PostIf I’ve been working from my parents’ house in another state, will I have to pay taxes in two states?It'd be less of a piss off if states actually maintained all kinds of infrastructure and we didn't have to pay ludicrous internet fees to private companies with monopolies.
By Perfect Blue Go To Postlol Trump is winning independents according to that poll? howprobably because the DNC are so bad
By Pac-12 Go To PostBecause they're RepublicansBut then... shouldn't that reflect in the overall poll? Biden is +10 there despite losing independents by that same margin. Doesn't make any sense.

On redlining:
There are few trees along the sidewalks to shield people from the sun’s relentless glare. More than 2,000 residents, mostly Black, live in low-income public housing that lacks central air conditioning. Many front yards are paved with concrete, which absorbs and traps heat. The ZIP code has among the highest rates of heat-related ambulance calls in the city.
There are places like Gilpin all across the United States. In cities like Baltimore, Dallas, Denver, Miami, Portland and New York, neighborhoods that are poorer and have more residents of color can be 5 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit hotter in summer than wealthier, whiter parts of the same city.
And there’s growing evidence that this is no coincidence. In the 20th century, local and federal officials, usually white, enacted policies that reinforced racial segregation in cities and diverted investment away from minority neighborhoods in ways that created large disparities in the urban heat environment.
Across more than 100 cities, a recent study found, formerly redlined neighborhoods are today 5 degrees hotter in summer, on average, than areas once favored for housing loans, with some cities seeing differences as large as 12 degrees. Redlined neighborhoods, which remain lower-income and more likely to have Black or Hispanic residents, consistently have far fewer trees and parks that help cool the air. They also have more paved surfaces, such as asphalt lots or nearby highways, that absorb and radiate heat.https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/08/24/climate/racism-redlining-cities-global-warming.html
Is this thread just for US politics? I’m a bit lost. I wanted to make a joke about blaming algorithms.
By cRrusheR Go To PostIs this thread just for US politics? I’m a bit lost. I wanted to make a joke about blaming algorithms.Naw, it is any and all politics.
By DY_nasty Go To PostI'd prefer way more non US or Brit politics tbh
Still thinking of a GIF for Canadian politics ....
Global politics (AkA DY walks a lonely path):
French Interior Minister has come out and pledged full support to naked boobs on beach soil. This is a follow up to a situation where a couple of officers approached a couple of titties and told them to cover up. Supposedly they were just carrying through a request by a family on holidays, as they deemed the sun bathed areolas to be blinding the children's eyes.

"Greece is launching military exercises jointly with France, Italy and Cyprus in the eastern Mediterranean on Wednesday, the Greek defense ministry has said. Turkey's president warned Greece of taking the "path to ruin." "
Hey why not right? Shit has been on the verge of happening between Turkey and Europe for a long time, so, 2020 is about as good a year as it gets.

I feel like the whole of Europe screams "someone should do something" in regards to Turkey every other week these days

Basically the left over image of a Turkey that wanted to be part of the EU has dissipated completely. And Erdogan has been on an anti Europe rhetoric for awhile now, and it has been escalating. The guy is a problem IMO

Everybody gotta wait till 23/24 to see if he turns dictator. He will look for a reason to become one that's for sure, so let's not give him one.
Its also why I was lesigh over France declaring themselves champions of Lebanon before humanitarian aid lines were even properly established
From July 21 to Aug. 15, the president’s campaign spent $31 million on Facebook and Google, while the Biden team invested $25 million, according to Advertising Analytics.Ah that's why they won't fact check
By reilo Go To PostAh that's why they won't fact check
More like they don’t want to be legally bond to do it, so why create precedent?
