I'm not doubting there are some not great things on the recording. The problem is who is putting it out. Veritas is the same group who have edited video of a confrontation to try to prove their story. @RedDenver is correct in wanting to wait for a more reputable source, or an entire release. O'Keefe is a known bad faith actor in his reporting.

I was quoting you because I agree with this sentiment. Essentially challenge it but bring evidence. I was pointing out the continued influence POTUS is trying to exert on state legislators and electors. That needs to stop. NOW! Wouldn't you agree?

@Archy1221 I recognize the right to challenge the process where they believe there were irregularities or cases of voter/election fraud. But just the belief will not win you a court case. There has to be verifiable evidence. There have been republican officials in these key states where the law suits are filed who have stated there have been no irregularities. The other thing is you do not have the right as the sitting President of the United States of America to reach out and ask those in positions of power overturn elections. You can't ask that the majority vote getter in each state not receive their state ruled electorates. I believe Trump did a great job of building his brand. He now enjoys a wider appeal with a segment of the population. The schadefreude occurring now is only hurting him with the more centrist/moderate members of the GOP.

I'm torn. I really don't want to listen to him ramble on for what seems like could be 18 pages, front and back. But it does seem somewhat cathartic to hear him throw these temper tantrums. Hopefully it will aid in opening the eyes of those more centrist republicans.

Much of this feels like a scorned spouse who lost the furniture in the divorce, so they burn it on the front lawn. Like the administration are going to try and stir up as many fires as they can to make the job going forward that much harder for the new admin.

The funny thing is how did this massive voter fraud only go to help Biden. Why wouldn't they help down ballot Dems. If you took a look at ballot totals for the state, I may even venture to guess that there would be less votes tabulated for the presidential candidates than for senate candidates. My wife, who is an staunch republican, chose not to vote on the presidential section. Thus one less presidential vote compared to the senate vote totals.

Do you ever read a tweet thread like this and just want to yell "F-word" really lout? The way that Trump whips these type of people into a frenzy is ridiculous. There are no attempts to bring people together. No attempts to bring down the temperature of this country, covid fever or otherwise. No attempts to encourage people to be better people. He just tries to trigger that more basic part of the human brain; these primitive instincts where each response is only an escalation of the one that came before. It's exhausting. Be well Huskerboard, these next few days could be trying in everyway imaginable.

Just checking with any of our Huskerboard law enforcement folks on if a citation would be warranted. Seemed to make purposeful contact with another vehicle. Seems to be a step above negligent.

There are models that show the 2nd district could break for Biden. Since Nebraska splits its electoral votes by congressional district, if Biden wins the majority there, he gets that vote. That vote could be pivotal if the race tightens up.

So the FBI does have the laptop. Got it. I thought it was the other way around.

I thought what was turned over to the FBI was the External Hard Drive that was purchased after the item was dropped off for repairs. Anything that was copied over from the internal SSD to an external hard drive would be considered tainted. That's because items can be corrupted or added to the external hard drive to make it seem like it was part of the original copy. That's why if this was really an issue, I believe the FBI would have attempted to subpoena the laptop.

I think the general consensus is that both can be true. This can be a piece of Russian disinformation being spread through Rudy. It can also still be in his possession, not viewed by independent examiners. He may not want it to be scrutinized because the meta data my blow up the entire story.

Legal Eagle does amazing, well sourced deep dives into complex, relevant issues. He is currently suing the White House.

Josh, from BBB Printing, made a nice little shirt about our state. http://stores.bbbprinting.com/flowchart/

I see this going one of two ways. Trump listens to his advisors and debate preppers and bites his tongue, or he doesn't and comes across like a petulant child whose parents are ignoring the tantrum. Mystery which route he takes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And I don't want to sound like a prude, but what is with the "Trump 2020/No More Bulls*!t" signs. I curse, but don't do it in front of my kids. My oldest is 10. She can read that sign, neighbor. You are a retired late 70ish couple with a Mother Mary statue in your front yard too. What are you doing?

This. The White House basically has an ICU suite. If he's on the mend and 02 stats are stable, then being in there as opposed to Walter Reed doesn't really matter. The only issue is isolation to others and if strict droplet protection can be maintained. Mask up and gown up before entry.

I feel like Ozark helped me realize how some of this higher level money laundering works.

If what is being revealed is fraudulent, why has the IRS not pursued before? I'm not trying to say it looks great for the president, but is anything in there actionable?

If you don't know Tyler Childers, you are missing out on a national treasure. He's an amazing songwriter whose voice only aids in the story telling and the pain in it. I know I can't put this in a status update since it's P&R related, and I don't really know where else this needs to go. But he does give a call to action to vote, so I guess here is as good of a place as any. His calls for empathy and understanding of our fellow man ring especially true to me. "Love each other, no exceptions." If you want some good music from him: White House Road, Charleston Girl, Dead Man's Curve, and for a fun one Ever Lovin' Hand.

I was just going to say that. Offer kids coding early. On the trade school front, the town I live in has partnered up with CCC and it seems to be a thriving endeavor. "Don't give a rip about Creative Writing but love to work on diesel motors? Cool, here's a few classes to take that lead in to the Tech school."

This is one part of it. The fact that Trump doesn't prepare for the town halls or debates and Biden does is another key in this whole issue. Another huge part of it, is if an undecided voter has an issue with the current state of the country, it's a much easier question to answer from a challenger position compared to an incumbent. This reason alone swung some voters to Trump in 2016. The mentality of "Let's see if he can do any better than career politicians/diplomats", is one I heard quite a few times. I understood where that person was coming from, but don't agree with that application to The President of The United States of America.

So is this a commission to promote the history of American Exceptionalism, but not promote education avenues for us to be exceptional going forward? I would rather there was a commission on the promotion of STEM in our education system. I don't understand how a degree in Chemical Engineering is a Liberal degree. Even if that degree came from UC Berkeley.

This whole thing is really odd. I have a few banker friends in the town I live in. Graduated from a 4 year college with degrees in finance. Both were giddy about the upcoming debates and how Trump was going to bus roll Biden. I almost asked them which one would be willing to lend Trump money based upon his previous lending history.

I guess I don't notice NDJ traveling much in the sarcasm/tongue in cheek lane here the P&R section. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Decided to be literal in my response. Sorry I missed your point.
