Why would you? Keep the suspense going, keep the eyes on the screen....
This wasn't even thought to be a battleground state...
For those who dont get it... https://twitter.com/EddieZipperer/status/1322218253247303681
I've wondered about this and Oregon. Big dem cities on the coast but the areas outside are hugely republican. Considering most of the rioting took place in the urban areas (and spilled in to the suburbs) would people be mad enough to switch? We'll see. Not looking for a win per se but an unexpectedly close race would show possibilities....
Well, let's do it then. There might be a valuable peace on the other side of this fight. Moreover, the military isn't going to take a side against a civilian. Generals can give orders but the soldiers on the ground are going to be the ones pulling the triggers and I just dont see them taking arms up against anyone regardless of who is telling them to....
My nephew has a 1900 sq ft home in Lincoln Park and pays 36K a year in taxes on it. Three Thousand a month! And they want to raise it and state income tax. That's how bad it is here...
Can you imagine what it felt like when democratic governor Rod Blagovich was arrested and convicted and THEN we elected another democrat to replace him? Illinois is a fucked up state man. None of this shit will change until the state goes broke and the feds have to put in financial overseers to fix things.
We have 17 billionaires in IL. 5 of them (including our governor) are named Pritzker. What makes anyone believe that they are aiming a tax at themselves?
When Blago was arrested we had an election to fill the governors seat. Pat Quinn, another Democrat was chosen. We couldn't get people angry enough at Democrats to vote for a republican in that situation I really dont have a lot of faith the same clowns wont vote this 'fair tax' in....
They've done this before. There is a 60 minutes clip from the 90's showing George Soros saying that he did indeed pretend to be Christian during the Holocaust and the person who was providing him cover has the job of going around to the homes of jews who were deported to camps and taking their stuff. Soros literally said it was a great time in his life. There is a Snopes page that says this didn't happen and the video is on the damn page!
@FuckComo - I am probably going to steal this word for word when I get into arguments with people over this. Hope you dont mind. You sarcasm is on point though....
I wish I was an app developer. I have this idea where, using face recognizing technology, an installed app will put a clown face on Rachel Maddow wherever she shows up. I would think it would be to have an app like that installed on my apple tv or Xbox. It could be expandable to put cooper on there and others...
Not FOR this man though. Because of this man - yes, but not FOR him...
I am wondering why we are saying 'even if Trump wins'. Hell I know tons of people who hate listening to him but are unenthusiastic about Biden and will just stay home. I am seeing Trump signs in places where I never thought you would see them (Chicago). I am looking at the polling and they are following the general 40-30-20-10 for the most part (40% Dems, 30% republicans, 20% independents, 10% undecided) and Biden is barely ahead - even with that ridiculous spread. This looks like 1984 to me? Am I just overly optimistic?
This is not true. The lockdown has also shown us that if we were to take every billionaires money and redistribute it to everyone else, they would go to Walmart and Target and buy bigger TV's. Those COVID checks were the experiment in Universal Basic Income and it failed.
Thought experiment -
Trump wins a second term and it ends. Pence runs for his first and Cruz runs against him. You voting for Cruz? I am....
Yeah, their main tactic is more than likely going to be starting accounts on this site and posting ridiculous shit and major news org's taking those ridiculous posts and using them to convince the public it's a racist pro slavery anti women site.
I think there needs to be a name for that (if there isn't one already) and when the Mods suspect it's a setup they can throw a poll up with the headline and everyone can vote on whether the poster is genuine or not. It might intimidate them knowing people are looking into them and it ruins the screenshots that would be used. If they loose the vote whatever word you use could be superimposed over the headline and a scarlet letter put on the posters name. All community driven of course...
BTW, this kid is a political prisoner. We should never refer to him as anything but a political prisoner.
Not to be a dick but I'm a little concerned about "FIGHTBACK FOUNDATION". I found their website (https://fightback.law/) and I agree with what they are trying to do but at the very bottom it lists itself as
© COPYRIGHT #FIGHTBACK FOUNDATION, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
So it's a business? it's incorporated and pays taxes? Why is this not a Charity or foundation? I don't want 40% of my donation going to taxes and another 40% going to administrative costs. Beyond that, did we not just bust BLM for being incorporated? Is there a charitable organization that does the same thing as this that would make me feel less stupid donating to?
Honestly, this site is going to undo reddit. Imagine every big sub moving over to .win and keeping advertising for themselves. Reddits only alternative will be to start revenue sharing with certain subs that drive traffic. And by sharing revenue, I mean pay moderators. Then the subs are going to kick out all those 'power moderators' that fuck everything up cause they are just diluting the revenue. Then the content posters are going to freak cause people are making money off their backs. It's just gonna be a shit show......
Boy you should get an award for calling that! They took it down and the professors apologised.
So it's 'six easy steps to relocate the US's entire financial system outside the country'
A lot of people aren't going to understand this but this is par for the course for people from the south side of Chicago who make it big. I swear to god not one of these fuckers is able to withstand the pressure to become a 'freak' or irrelevant cause that's the choice they are led to believe they have.
The south side of Chicago has not produced something worth anyone's time in over a hundred years...
Don't worry. These can be filed under 'liberal fantasy films'. They did a bunch about Iraq during the last few years of Bush's presidency. None of them did well. They all lost money at the Box office and it set off at least a 7 or 8 year decline in B.O. receipts.
I think it got to the point where people on the right were being totally honest and saying 'could you please not make something that insults me' when asked why they stopped going to the movies. I feel like the left moved the goal posts and made it so that if it didn't insult people on the right it was insulting to them. It's like Hollywood wants to fail?
And as I said before. Someone is going to get some money and make something so damn offensive that the traditional news sources are going to immediately decry it. It will end up causing more people to go see it and quietly laugh about it. Other companies wanting to get in on the money train start to emulate it and that's when everyone who is offended turns into the butt of every joke and then this jackassery is over....
"No, we won't. Because they don't play fair." - Wow. You think this is bad? They marched Nixon out of the WhiteHouse in 1974 for doing the same thing Kennedy did to him 14 years before. There was 0 conservative voices in the media, not one station, not one newspaper. Democrats won landslide victories in the house and senate that November. Many in the south were still democrats. The northeast was rapidly becoming liberal and the conservatives that built California were beggining to die off and their coddled liberal offspring were just starting to turn that state blue. Republicans AND conservatives were officially 'silenced' in 1976 with the election of Jimmy Carter.
What Happened next?
