GroundUP Music With Becca Stevens, Bokanté, Alina Engibaryan and More: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music’s Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It’s the same spirit — stripped-down sets, an intimate setting — just a different space.

Oct. 27, 2020 | Suraya Mohamed, Colin Marshall — This three-act, 18-person Tiny Desk (home) concert was conceived by Michael League, Snarky Puppy’s composer and bandleader. He and his cadre of artists on the GroundUP record label believe in two important points: that music and politics are inextricably linked, and the best way to connect people is through song.

League’s rolodex is impressive. If you’re a jazz fan, you’re almost certain to know many of the performers in this ambitious Tiny Desk, which includes (among others) Grammy winners Gregory Porter, Brad Mehldau and Chris Potter.

The concert features three distinct ensembles, beginning with Becca Stevens and her song “Heather’s Letters To Her Mother.” “I wrote this for Heather Heyer, who was killed on August 12, 2017, while peacefully protesting the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville,” she says. “In my heart this song has always been a rallying cry to come from a place of compassion in our actions and reactions. It’s a reminder to continue the fight for equality from a determined and compassionate stance regardless of what is happening around us. And it’s a reminder to stay grounded in love because without a foundation of love we are truly lost.”

The second song features League’s world music group Bokanté performing the Creole song “Réparasyon,” meaning “reparations.” Bokanté vocalist Malika Tirolien wrote the song, which appears on the band’s Grammy-nominated album What Heat. “With the rise of black liberation movements around the world, this is a crucial time to remind everyone that people of African descent need the slave trade officially recognized as a crime against humanity and need reparations and restitutions of stolen goods,” Tirolien says. “Getting justice is the only way we can begin a process of forgiveness and healing.”

Keyboard player and vocalist Alina Engibaryan leads the last song, “We Are,” which strives to bring people together, “I wanted to write a song that has a message about people, where regardless of our beliefs, our political views, our race, color, we are all human beings and made of the same thing,” Engibaryan says. “I hope people will understand that one day and will learn to love, respect and accept one another.”

I was thinking about Manchin’s statement earlier, and I do think we are misreading it a little. We’re worried that he won’t change the rules at the beginning of the next term, but I think he was actually just talking about the two changes that occurred to get Barrett in: appointing a judge close to the election and Graham rewriting committee rules so they could get around Democrats boycotting.

I can almost understand Biden’s hesitancy on this. Mainly because he’s worried the average non-politics following American would probably accuse him of “court packing”, despite the fact that’s what Republicans have been doing since Merrick Garland. Flash forward two years and presto! A 2010-style drubbing Obama got for making it marginally easier for poor people to see a fucking doctor.

Then I’m all like “Fuck that noise. Fight fire with fucking fire, for once.”

Him voting against her was a sign. I think we’re going to get expansion. We just need the political capital. Taking back the Senate and winning the presidency big will do that imo. Seeing some of the stuff that this new majority might gut might change some minds too. I think people don’t realize the gravity of how reactionary minded this new majority is.

This could also be Biden pulling a “they talked me into it” thing. But I also think, right now, the real goal should be getting people to the polls. That’s the only real cure to all of this. We have to get Congress and the presidency, then we fix the courts. Part of the problem Obama had is too many people thought someone else would fix it.

I think he’s adverse to it as I honestly was before Barrett but I think he’s more open to it because of the blatant duplicity and putting Barrett’s nomination before relief.

When the corrupted court kills the ACA you will see Manchin blow his stack on the floor of the Senate. Democrats will march in lockstep to neuter McConnell and the Republicans.

I really think Obama had unfair expectations on him and I blame that partially for inspiring the conditions that made Trump possible. Obama was treated like he needed to be a progressive savior and as a two time Obama voter and a staunch liberal at that, that’s not what I voted for.

People have asked me what a Biden presidency would be like and I’ll point out that if you want an idea see how Jerry Brown governed California in his fourth term. He turned the state around, put the budget in the black and laid the path down for Newsom to follow.

I might compare it here in Virginia to Northam. Northam was actually once courted by Virginia Republicans to switch parties. He never considered it as far as I know but it’s true that Northam had a more moderate reputation than any Democrat that has run for governor here in the past 20 years except maybe Creigh Deeds. However, we also gave him a lot of Democrats in the state legislature. IF you want Biden to have a progressive agenda, work your ass for a Democratic majority in Congress. It is so frustrating that there’s a loud minority of people who do not get that and think that crying that Biden isn’t Bernie is how to make this work.

But he got the 2010 drubbing before anyone benefited from the ACA. After all, the ACA passed in March 2010 followed by the rollout fiasco later that year. The GOP seized on that to demonize the entire program. Voters gave control of the House to GOP and the the election of Scott Brown in early 2010 made it impossible to prevent filibusters in the Senate, given McConnell’s nonstop efforts to destroy Obama. It was impossible to correct any flaws in the legislation.

Republicans have always seemed more successful at marketing than Democrats, probably because they are more willing to lie about everything. They christened the ACA Obamacare and made it very unpopular until people started benefiting from it — but that was too late to prevent GOP domination of Congress.

He really is one of the worst things to happen to this country in a long time. I’d love for a Trumper to answer this but what is the issue that got Trump into presidential politics. They can’t tell you that because the answer isn’t a political issue but rather Trump’s pathetic jealously and hatred of Obama.

Well yes, Musk is a “genius” a lot like Edison was: He knew jack-shit about inventing, but he knew a great deal about marketing. His greatest invention was one that corporations follow to this day: Creating an R&D department whose work you can profit off of by slapping your name all over the patents and then suing anybody (including your own employees) for “infringing” upon them. While we know Tesla and alternating current only because the man was able to find a patron in George Westinghouse, Zod only knows how many other brilliant inventions were killed because Edison’s basic 19th century education made it impossible for him to see the profit in them.

And the media in Nebraska covers for them.

Governor Ricketts was also at the superspreader event. I imagine he could get out without trouble (perhaps by private aircraft).

The Republican [Senator Deb Fischer] said President Trump supports our troops, so she supports him.

“We have a president who stands tall and rebuilds our military, we have a president who cares for our veterans,” Fischer said.

It’s all about the message, not the actions.

I went through every television and radio station in the Omaha/Council Bluffs market. They are all, regardless of network, reporting breathlessly on the size of the crowd at Eppley Airfield (the Omaha airport), and not on the clusterfuque Trump caused there stranding his supporters.

In addition the the stuck crowd, there is only one major street in the area (Abbott Road, it goes from downtown, past Eppley, through Carter Lake Iowa, then to North Omaha). It is the principal commuter route from North Omaha to downtown. That meant his drop-in at Eppley also fouled up rush hour traffic (since the route had to be secured by the Secret Service).

This is what the area around Eppley Airfield looks like. This is why no one could walk back to downtown parking.

Obama spent more in his first 4 years ($3.3T) on defense budgets than Trump did ($2.7T). Only in his second term did Obama spend less, due entirely to the budget cap imposed by the sequester that Repubs shackled the federal budget with in order to look “responsible.”

Amazing how nobody has heard about the sequester during the Trump years, isn’t it?//////

A lucrative scam; class-action lawsuits are a relatively new concept in the Czech legal system (only being introduced in the last couple of years or so) so it probably won’t be much longer before Attorney Jan Novák from Horní Dolní* figures out it’d be a great way to hustle the rubes.

My regional newspaper’s senior editor, after being dragged so thoroughly about his endorsement of Donald Trump since as a Christian he’s the right choice, and flogging the propaganda of “why isn’t the media reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop,” has pulled down the endorsement from their Website.

They didn’t retract it, they just memory-holed it.

They have a Jonah Goldberg column up today though, flogging the same Hunter Biden laptop propaganda.

I really encourage folks to get out there and get screenshots of every such endorsement before next week. Because the moment it becomes clear that Trump has lost, the reinvention of the GOP as “always being opposed to Trump!” will begin in earnest.

I just learned from my dad back in the day to always switch the power off when doing any kind of electrical repairs. I’ve replaced light switches before - a couple of years ago, I had to replace a junction box in the bathroom….the commie-era original burned out completely. Still, it held up for a little over 40 years, so that’s not too bad, but seeing as I’d never done that before, I was extra careful, LOL.

I can almost understand Biden’s hesitancy on this. Mainly because he’s worried the average non-politics following American would probably accuse him of “court packing”, despite the fact that’s what Republicans have been doing since Merrick Garland. Flash forward two years and presto! A 2010-style drubbing Obama got for making it marginally easier for poor people to see a fucking doctor.

Then I’m all like “Fuck that noise. Fight fire with fucking fire, for once.”

it will become clear that this is driven from Congress’s power. their decision.

Regarding the COVID situation here in Czech Republic, today, another 15,000 infected. A night curfew has been imposed and shopping on Sundays - and after 8 pm the rest of the week - is now prohibited.

That last measure, to be honest, seems counter-productive. What will end up happening is that people will now attack the supermarkets on Saturdays, thereby concentrating even more people into an indoor space.

There’s rock-solid statistical evidence that the primary transmission vector here is workplaces, particularly factories, production halls, warehouses and distribution centers. Unfortunately, the government has decided not to close those places, despite having done so earlier this year - which proved to be a successful tactic in stopping COVID transmission. They’re afraid that a 30-day (or 60-day) total industrial shutdown would absolutely sink the Czech economy well into next year…..and there’s elections coming in 2021.

The special prosecutor appointed to investigate the shooting of James Scurlock by the Omaha bar owner during the George Floyd protests has moved to drop the investigation, following the receipt of the shooter’s death certificate from Oregon.

Special Prosecutor Frederick Franklin said Tuesday that he has received the death certificate for Jake Gardner and he intends to motion to dismiss the pending charges against him.

Franklin said the death certificate, from Washington County, Oregon, lists suicide by gunshot as the cause of Gardner’s death.

Additionally, Franklin released a lengthy statement on the case due to “community interest.” Much of the statement was previously discussed when Franklin held a press conference, but the entire document can be read here.

The article at KETV TV channel 7 (ABC) in Omaha goes into much more detail about the case and the grand jury which overturned the county prosecutor’s assertion that the shooting was in self-defence.

In a perfect world, there would be a form of de-Trumpification starting next year that would go hard on making it clear to MAGAts just what it was they were supporting. Raw video footage from the camps that they insisted were “better” for immigrants than “anything back home.” Testimonials from the unemployed and destitute in industries ravaged by Trump’s trade war that was supposed to be “easy to win.” Images of tons of soybeans left to rot due to the Chinese market being closed off effectively forever. Forcing them to view the mass graves of CV-19 victims who could not be given proper burials because the resources necessary for such were being snatched by federal agents under Jared’s orders.

But in the real world, the people who most need to see all this are the ones who are going to go absolutely apeshit next week, insisting that the election was “stolen” by Biden and the Dems because Faux told them the election was gonna be a landslide victory for Trump.

Seeing this already on Facebook from people who cast ballots for Trump twice while lamenting that there wasn’t “a choice” or good candidates in either 2016 or 2020. They’ve gotten their conservative judiciary, “punishment” of immigrant brown people and women, and “owning” of the liberals over the past four years. Along with a serious erosion of the country’s foreign reputation, domestic governing institutions, and in essence locking in total partisan power politics for at least the next two decades if not longer.

Trump, the GOP, and Covid-19 have essentially made complete a sea change in the American political and cultural landscape. Things are not going back to what they were in 2019, and certainly not regressing to a make believer golden era 1950 either.

If, and a big if, the GOP intends to reform and save itself, it will have to do more than say “take a seat” to these people. It needs to send them back into the wilderness.

I don’t think the GOP has realized that the past four years has also created a voting bloc that will not pull the lever for any GOP candidate at any level. Arguably monolithic voting is not necessarily good, but a group that is “party uber alles” expressly makes such a response logical since independence of action is not something inherent in the GOP at any level.

“I give her credit for having the courage to write and publish ‘Fazit’ (Account Rendered, 1963, the memoirs of a girl who joined the Hitler Youth and became a propagandist for the Nazi Party, and a leader of ejecting Polish farmers from their farms to resettle Germans in the General Government area) at the time she did. In 1963, nobody I met admitted to having been a Nazi. She may have been the first German, and certainly the first German woman, who tried to face her past with honesty. No other book at that time said, unequivocally, ‘I was a Nazi, and here’s why.’ I am certainly treated well in her memoir, with insight and respect. Melita eventually came to be horrified by Nazism, and I believe she really meant the book as an apology.”

The writer of the book was trying to tell her one-time friend in a series of letters how she became enmeshed in the Nazi Party, and apologising for being a spy for the Gestapo on her family.

The friend, who eventually wound up in the USA just as the war was breaking out, never contacted her again. She destroyed all the letters.

After “Account Rendered” came out, she wrote her own memoirs on their time as a counter to conservative/Nazi apologia which did not sell nearly as well.

A deft writer and practiced propagandist who understood the power of a vivid quote, detail, or anecdote, [Melita] Maschmann portrayed herself as a girl who came of age in a culture imbued with the shame of Germany’s defeat in the First World War. “Before I understood the meaning of the word ‘Germany,’ I loved it as something mysteriously overshadowed with grief…,” she writes. Her wealthy parents, avid newspaper readers and members of the conservative German National Party, complained about “the chaotic squabbling of Parliament” and the millions of people out of work, but had a sign affixed to their door that read “No Hawkers or Beggars.” Melita sympathized with them, and with the maid, chauffeur, and house seamstress. The latter wore an embossed metal swastika under the lapel of her coat, spoke movingly of Hitler, and was instrumental in Melita’s resolve “to follow a different road from the conservative one prescribed for me by family tradition.” The book documents twelve years of following that road.

Having betrayed her friends, and having been condemned by unrepentant Nazis after the war for writing the book, she left Germany and went to live in an Indian ashram with a person said to be a living prophet. None of the people who knew her during her time before or as a Nazi ever forgave her. She paid the price for her choices.

I agree, but what will happen is

a) The media here will continue flogging the idea Trump is popular to keep the voters in line here (and maybe flip NE-2 back to red, which is where the rally was) without mentioning he left his supporters in bitter cold afterward, and

b) the national media will pick up Nebraska reporting and pass it on uncritically, because the must maintain a horse race. They will not report NE-3 is the most conservative House district in the country, nor will they report that this rally at Eppley also included a bunch of MAGAs from Steve King’s district in Iowa.

Good polling this morning has improved Biden’s odds of winning to 89% at fivethirtyeight.com. Remember that a week out in 2016, Trump’s odds were rapidly improving until they peaked at 35.4%, 4 days before the election, then they decreased as pollsters starting herding to play it safe.

Good polling this morning has improved Biden’s odds of winning to 89% at fivethirtyeight.com. Remember that a week out in 2016, Trump’s odds were rapidly improving until they peaked at 35.4%, 4 days before the election, then they decreased as pollsters starting herding to play it safe. This is not a replay of 2016.

Nope, this is an unprecedented situation: the incumbent is desperate, aware that he faces criminal charges the moment he loses immunity, and clearly not about to shy away from using criminal methods to ensure that he does not lose.

Win. That’s all that matters. All the plans and suggestions for what to do after winning are just that - plans and suggestions that don’t matter if you don’t win the fucking election.

Biden has to win.

Democrats have to retake control of the Senate.

If Democrats fail on either, any talk of expanding the courts is moot.

Win both, and then you can start executing on the plans to expand the courts - to split circuits, add justices to all levels of the federal judiciary and immigration courts to deal with the backlog there. And you can then enact a law that requires the number of justices on the Supreme Court matches the number of circuits.

Concurrently, you can roll back all of Trump’s EOs with the wave of a pen, and order the DOJ to investigate and prosecute Trump for his felony conduct that was delayed due to a DOJ policy that prevents indicting a sitting president while in office.

And have the DOJ throw out that policy too. No one is above the law. The DOJ is not the president’s personal lawyer. You must divest your businesses entirely. You cannot hire nepotism picks to surround you in the WH so that they can profit personally and directly from the WH actions and threats, as with pushing Fed Reserve to lower interest rates that is a major benefit to Trump in reducing his debt load or tax breaks that specifically benefit Trump and his spawn.

I keep riding this emotional roller coaster between despair and optimism, but as we approach the election, I’m on the optimism upswing. Yes, Trump is a vile despicable human being. Yes, he no doubt has multiple plans to avoid losing this election. Yes, the Senate GOP and the Supreme Court will back him no matter what, even to their own deaths. But you know what? I believe that someone, somewhere, has accounted for these scenarios. If us armchair quarterbacks can imagine all these ideas - and the media has been reporting many of them in their breathless fear-mongering tone, as well - then there’s somebody out there who does this for a living who has imagined them as well. I am growing in my confidence that no matter what manner of fuckery Trump and his complicit traitors employ, come January 20th, his ass will belong to the Southern District of New York.

My only concern is that Biden/Harris should make a final week sweep through MI, OH, WI, AZ, and PA. Take nothing for granted.

Running up the popular vote is all well and good, but if the distribution of votes falls the same way it did last time, we’re fooked.

Don’t be fooked. Vote. And fight for every last vote to be cast and counted as per the law and rules of each of the states.

The GOP is fighting tooth and nail to suppress turnout, deny votes as illegitimate, and to claim that votes cast or counted after election day don’t count or matter. That’s not the law. It was never the law.

They want to give the perception that we know who wins officially on election night. That’s never been the case. We have a presumptive winner usually on election night, but the final official counts are required before the December 14 deadline.

That usually means states have official count by the first week of December.

Two important points.

So when was the first time that election results were known on Election Day Eve? Especially before computerized vote tallies, the process took weeks, and before modern telephony & telegraphy, even months…

So Trump is really tipping his hand with his claim that “we need a final count on Election Day”, he is counting on being able to claim a majority at that point and then to try to disqualify anything else coming in as “suspect”…

His greatest invention was one that corporations follow to this day: Creating an R&D department whose work you can profit off of by slapping your name all over the patents and then suing anybody (including your own employees) for “infringing” upon them. While we know Tesla and alternating current only because the man was able to find a patron in George Westinghouse, Zod only knows how many other brilliant inventions were killed because Edison’s basic 19th century education made it impossible for him to see the profit in them.

I just don’t get the Musk hate. He’s nothing like Edison. If Edison wasn’t on the scene, nothing much would have changed except some other people would have gotten more historical credit. I see musk as a slightly less eccentric Howard Hughes.

Tesla and SpaceX are so far beyond the competition that without Musk on the scene we’d still be launching non reusable rockets and admiring the Chevy Volt as the pinnacle of electric car possibilities.

In a perfect world, there would be a form of de-Trumpification starting next year that would go hard on making it clear to MAGAts just what it was they were supporting. Raw video footage from the camps that they insisted were “better” for immigrants than “anything back home.” Testimonials from the unemployed and destitute in industries ravaged by Trump’s trade war that was supposed to be “easy to win.” Images of tons of soybeans left to rot due to the Chinese market being closed off effectively forever. Forcing them to view the mass graves of CV-19 victims who could not be given proper burials because the resources necessary for such were being snatched by federal agents under Jared’s orders.

But in the real world, the people who most need to see all this are the ones who are going to go absolutely apeshit next week, insisting that the election was “stolen” by Biden and the Dems because Faux told them the election was gonna be a landslide victory for Trump.

While we know Tesla and alternating current only because the man was able to find a patron in George Westinghouse, Zod only knows how many other brilliant inventions were killed because Edison’s basic 19th century education made it impossible for him to see the profit in them.

Edison’s patron was Henry Ford, who probably taught him all he needed to know about marketing products and crushing the competition. The Henry Ford in Dearborn has “Edison’s Dying Breath” in a bottle. How creepy is that?

re: #178 Eventual Carrion

I am trying to get together in my mind who’s job it was to get those busses back in to pick these people up. Were they contracted through the tRump campaign or some other outside group? What reason was there for them not showing up to pick these people up? If just congested roads, why didn’t the people just wait somewhere out of the elements until the busses finally got there? Guess I should go try and find a valid source of this story, but everything so far has been kinda sketchy to me.

——

Local Democrats criticized Trump for having a large rally during the pandemic, calling it a superspreader event.

“This is a reckless act by a chaotic president,” said Jane Kleeb, chair of the Nebraska Democratic Party.

The Trump campaign held the rally outside at Omaha’s Eppley Airfield. Although the campaign said every attendee was given a mask and instructed to wear it, many people went without.

A reporter estimated more than 6,000 people attended the rally. Law enforcement and campaign sources estimated the crowd above 10,000. Trump said the crowd was 29,000.

Angela Schock, 52, of Lincoln, said she came to see the president because “I’m an American, and I love Trump. He gets things done.”

Asked what he got done, she said “Israel, that he takes care of our military,” and she has a lot of military in her family.

Schock, who wasn’t wearing a mask, says she wasn’t worried about catching coronavirus in the crowd, though she brought a face covering in case. “You have to live life while you’re here. No concerns.”

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming now ranks among the worst states for spread of the coronavirus as its residents grow weary of measures to protect themselves and state officials refrain from reimposing public-health orders to try to force compliance.

Wyoming ranks among the top five states for new coronavirus infections per capita over the past week of surging cases nationwide, according to Johns Hopkins and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Almost 3,300 people in the state had tested positive for the coronavirus as of Tuesday and not yet recovered, up from about 500 in July, according to the Wyoming Department of Health.

People hospitalized with COVID-19 in the state this week topped 100, more than double the number just two weeks ago.

The state’s death toll increased by seven in the past week to reach 77. The recent deaths announced Monday by the state health department included five residents of New Horizons Care Center, a long-term care facility in Lovell.

nope, the stock market is going to tank. the only thing keeping it afloat is the artificial boost that Trump gave to it: Biden will have to choose between further increasing the deficit, aiding working & middle class people people and bailing out the stock market again.

If Joe Biden wins next week’s election, he says he’ll immediately call Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious-disease expert. He’ll work with governors and local officials to institute a nationwide mask-wearing mandate and ask Congress to pass a sweeping spending bill by the end of January to address the coronavirus and its fallout.

That alone would mark a significant shift from President Donald Trump, who has feuded with scientists, struggled to broker a new stimulus deal and reacted to the recent surge in U.S. virus cases by insisting the country is “rounding the turn.”

But Biden would still face significant political challenges in combating the worst public health crisis in a century. He will encounter the limits of federal powers when it comes to mask requirements and is sure to face resistance from Republicans who may buck additional spending.

What does it take for a Big Ten game to get canceled because of the coronavirus? Perhaps only a team’s own discretion and caution.

Word leaked out this week about positive COVID-19 tests inside Wisconsin’s football program — specifically with its quarterbacks. The Badger athletic department and coach Paul Chryst declined to comment publicly about specific players. But Chryst said Monday he was confident about the game with Nebraska being played, presumably because of roster size and players available at given positions.

In that op-ed, he hit all the “liberal” media’s talking points: Liberals are elitists and out of touch, “economic anxiety,” not interested in advancing the Christian right’s agenda, &c.

I keep riding this emotional roller coaster between despair and optimism, but as we approach the election, I’m on the optimism upswing. Yes, Trump is a vile despicable human being. Yes, he no doubt has multiple plans to avoid losing this election. Yes, the Senate GOP and the Supreme Court will back him no matter what, even to their own deaths. But you know what? I believe that someone, somewhere, has accounted for these scenarios. If us armchair quarterbacks can imagine all these ideas - and the media has been reporting many of them in their breathless fear-mongering tone, as well - then there’s somebody out there who does this for a living who has imagined them as well. I am growing in my confidence that no matter what manner of fuckery Trump and his complicit traitors employ, come January 20th, his ass will belong to the Southern District of New York.

I believe our Moaning Myrtle lizards would be happier (as would the rest of us) if they didn’t rehash exactly the same arguments Every. Single. Day.

If anyone’s into some light reading, Lawfare’s walkthrough of contested elections is here. I think we’ve kicked around most of this stuff here at some point or another.

The upshot I got out of this is that, if things really go to hell, control of the House is key. Then, the real super duper nuclear option if the Republicans play insane games with the electors is for the Democrats to walk out of the Joint Session, making it fail a quorum and have no electoral votes counted, and then say hi to President Pelosi.

My personal view about the argument “well, the Supreme Court will ignore the law and the Constitution to re-elect Trump”, is that the Supreme Court could ignore the law and the Constitution to proclaim Trump President-for-Life tomorrow. Neither statement is very useful without some sort of real-world context.

Don’t agree. If the Yankees won I would have added another World Championship to the list. They had one of the best records and had to beat everyone else in the playoffs. They pandemic had nothing to do with them. The number of games has been expanded at least once and the playoff sked changed multiple times. They won the series. On to next year.

I know it’s just a random musing, but the latest campaign debacle in Omaha got me thinking. For all The Orange Anus loves to blather on about the size of the crowds he draws: if there were no Coronavirus pandemic, and Joe and Kamala could be doing the “normal” campaign touring, I wonder how large the crowds might be that THEY would draw?

The answer, of course, is probably somewhere between “humongous” and “ginormous”.

I don’t doubt it. People really like Kamala and the campaign knows that. And honestly while Biden isn’t Obama, I do find him in his own way inspiring because he’s willing to listen as times change. It’s why I think he’s a better example of what a liberal is than Bernie who quite frankly is still fighting the same class reductionist battle.

I think that’s a bit optimistic unfortunately. I think Americans will largely accept a blatantly stolen election, just as they have accepted thousands of unnecessary gun deaths a year, widespread poverty and medical bankruptcy, and indeed previously stolen elections. They accept all of these because their major media sources tell them to accept it, either subtly or overtly.

Charles Alan Dyer was a Marine sergeant who operated as an advocate for the Oath Keepers, an anti-government, far-right group described as domestic terrorists by several monitors. Dyer was charged in 2010 with child rape and illegal weapons possession. Dyer evaded authorities and a manhunt ensued, followed by capture ten days later. In 2012, Dyer was convicted on his child rape charge.

We’ll have to see. If Graham wins reëlection, Mr. Harrison will have done what Beto O’Rourke did for Texas Democratic politicians.

Speaking of Texas, just up:

Cook Political Moves Texas to Toss-up in Presidential Race (270 to win)

Less than a week out from the presidential election, The Cook Political Report has moved Texas to Toss-up status. The Lone Star State hasn’t voted for a Democratic presidential nominee since 1976 (Jimmy Carter) and hasn’t elected a Democrat to any statewide office since 1994. However, recent elections have been increasingly competitive. Donald Trump’s nine-point win in 2016 was the smallest GOP margin since 1996. In 2018, Sen. Ted Cruz narrowly won reelection, defeating Beto O’Rourke by about 2.6%.

The president currently holds a one-point lead in the 270toWin polling average, reflecting recent polls that have ranged from a Trump lead of five points to Biden being ahead by three.

270 to Win now shows Texas as a toss-up.

Hopefully if Biden wins and passes a real ass Covid relief bill in the new year and starting taking serious measures to actually control this pandemic, the stock market will tick up a little.

Not only that, but immediately extend citizenship to all Dreamers and their families, and then make a point of providing citizenship to 3 million asylum seekers, while giving a state of the union address that includes both a nod to a child sitting next to Jill Biden who survived the concentration camps in Texas, and also a nod to a couple of Hispanic refugees whose child has still not been recovered from those stolen from their parents at the border. “I pledge to you tonight that America will do everything in its power to restore your child to you, and to harshly those responsible for the immoral, ungodly actions that stole your child from you,” says Biden.

Above, someone wanted to wait until they had more solid confirmation about Trump leaving supporters in the snow and sub-freezing temperatures before they would believe it.

Hundreds of Trump supporters stuck on freezing cold Omaha airfield after rally, 7 taken to hospitals (NBC News)

Overall, 30 people were “contacted” for medical reasons, the Omaha police department said in a statement.

Hundreds of President Donald Trump’s supporters were left in the freezing cold for hours after a rally at an airfield in Omaha, Nebraska, on Tuesday night, with some walking around 3 miles to waiting buses and others being taken away in ambulances.

Seven people were taken to area hospitals, suffering from a variety of conditions, and there were a total of 30 “contacted” for medical reasons, the Omaha Police Department said in a statement. The Omaha Airport Authority had a slightly different figure of the number taken to hospitals — it said six were “throughout the duration of the event” and added that it could not confirm that the people were taken to hospitals because of the cold.

The temperature in the area was in the mid-30s at the time.

Many of those at the rally at the Eppley Airfield faced hours in long lines to get in and clogged parking lots and busy crowds to get out, hours after Air Force One departed around 9 p.m. The police said the last person was loaded onto a bus at the rally site at 11:50 p.m. — about three hours after the event had ended.

The police department said 25,000 people had been taken to the rally site by 40 buses running from 10:00 a.m. until the rally began at 8:00 p.m.

That is a common strawman of atheists by Christians, that they “reject God” because of the way some Christians behave.

Many Christians simply cannot accept that:

a) most atheists in the USA were Christians at one time
b) after actually examining what they believe or what they are taught and the claims of the Bible are unsubstantiated

therefore

c) They withhold belief pending further evidence.

All the framing from Christians “atheists just want to sin” “atheists hate God” “atheists worship the Devil” and the favourite in the Bible’s Psalms 14:1 “The fool in says in his heart ‘There is no God’ all are intended to insult atheists and misrepresent them to believers.

While Evangelicals are most vocal about it, that mindset permeates even the so-called moderates of the faith.

Total bullshit. Every team had to quarantine for the 60 games plus during the condensed playoff format. That only further shows that the best team won under the toughest of circumstances.
