"No teams" ≠ don't take sides or support candidates: e.g., while I support Biden, I also criticize him (pic 1), defend his opponents and their supporters when wrongly attacked (pics 2/3), and even praise Trump when he deserves it (pic 4).
So, how else can I piss you off today?

Weird how so many police officers, when facing accountability, turn immediately to resignation.

Burisma looking to expand into foreign markets, needed legal council. Hunter had:
1. Law degree from Yale
2. 9 yrs as partner at a private firm
3. 3 yrs on a corporate board (Amtrak)
Not saying his last name didn't help him, but he was FULLY QUALIFIED

A reminder that school segregation was ended because Thurgood Marshall used what today we call "Critical Race Theory" by showing that systematic racism in "separate but equal" led not only to unequal outcomes, but also inherent racial bias (including in the Black students).
All assault claims MUST be heard, and we must not start with disbelief or victim blaming. But without witnesses or physical evidence, we must consider Reade’s credibility and Biden's patterns.

Because of MAIL-IN BALLOTS, 2020 will be the most RIGGED Election in our nations history - unless this stupidity is ended. We voted during World War One & World War Two with no problem, but now they are using Covid in order to cheat by using Mail-Ins!

Working a job he's qualified for, unlike Trump's kids. As he was on Burisma board, where he used Yale law degree + 9 yrs as partner in private firm to give legal counsel, and 3 yrs on Amtrak board + investing experience as they moved into foreign markets.
@ForecasterEnten
So a -7 in IA proves a Biden collapse is underway because Selzer is an A+ rated pollster, but the +17 in WI from A+ rated ABC/Washington Post doesn't prove a Biden blowout?

3. Stronger than Clinton in 11 of 15 swing states
@ByronYork
Stupid false choice: it's not one or the other, it's both. Conspiracy to violate Campaign Finance law is getting more coverage since last week because more details were revealed, including Trump's direction of the scheme.
@FoxNews
Making it illegal to bring voters water, after closing so many polling sites in 90%+ Black neighborhoods that the average wait is almost TEN TIMES longer than in 90%+ white neighborhoods is racial. Period.
7. Competitive in OH/IA/MT, but like TX, I think he wins only w/3-4% overperformance, as part of a massive wave victory.
Final GUESS: Biden wins, with a margin between 280-258 and 351-187.

I'll take "stories that are based on an informal conversation with someone who used to clerk for the DNC in the late 90's" for $400, Alex!
EVERYONE claiming sexual assault, including Tara Reade, must be heard. Also, it’s critical we not begin with disbelief or victim blaming.
BUT when there is no evidence or witnesses, we must also consider the accuser's credibility, and possible bias.

Biden stronger than Clinton in 14 of 18 swing states (no NE-2 or MT polls by 7/15/16)
Biden states = 303 EV, while Clinton on 7/15/16 = 227
1. "Please give me concrete examples"
2. Makes ludicrously absurd claim that Biden is "carrying out genocide."
3. *turns off comments*
Yup, it's the MAGA-leftist horseshoe trifecta!
But REMEMBER: whatever polls show, they can CHANGE, and candidates can overperform. Clinton's polling slide continued until Election Day, leaving her w/5%+ leads in states worth only 203 EV:
So make your voting plan at today, and VOTE!!!
"But he was working in Ukraine while his father was conducting diplomacy there, and in China too!" True, but no evidence of any illegal acts or intervention by Joe. But if that's your standard for corruption, I have some really, REALLY bad news about Trump and his kids...
2. Voters who dislike both candidates breaking HARD for Biden in all polling so far. Recent examples include NBC nat’l (60-10%), Civiqs nat’l (60-2%), OH Predictive Insights AZ (63-6), and Civiqs GA (60-2).
Trump won these voters by 10% in 2016.
LISTEN UP, y'all:
1. We saw the 2016 collapse coming for more than a week, both in statewide and district polls. We have not seen that in 2020.
2. In 2012, a couple of late FL polls of showed Romney suddenly up 5-6% in an otherwise even race. They were both wrong.

3. NV is an obvious Biden win, but caution isn't unreasonable
4. They're just making up reasons not to call PA. Only reason: they're saving "the call" for...
If you believe -7 in Selzer's Iowa poll *must* be a portend of a Biden collapse because they're A+ rated, but don't believe +17 in ABC/WP's Wisconsin poll *must* be a portend of a Biden blowout, you need to learn the following mantra:
