A Biden win won't help the economy but it will help the Dow & the S&P as additional regulations make it tougher for new competitors to enter. Those companies will also be helped by better access to cheap Chinese labor.

As soon as Reid nuked the filibuster for everything but SCOTUS nominations the ball was rolling down the hill. Would be really interesting to know how things would've worked out had it been RBG retiring in '16 rather than Scalia dying then. Expect the R's would've let Garland have a hearing but don't know that for certain. But do know that each time 1 side ramps up the partisanship, the other runs ideas to up it another notch as soon as they can. Don't know how to scale it back short of 1 side having a ridiculous majority of 60+ & going back to the old 60 vote filibuster so that if they lose a smidge, the other side can have a say.

You've won. But don't let that stop you from pursuing your white whale.

Cool. Good to see that 2 weeks after you helped get DR banned that you are still on your little passive aggressive woe is me roll.

To the edit: yes, at least 1 poster that was banned from PPP back in 43's day was never banned from & stillposts today on TSW.

And for a 3rd time you ignore the non-denial denial & focus on the tangents. But it's easier to try the "look at the tangents, don't look at the substance" gambit.

Sadly, United States Senate is the 1 thing that might. (Though at this point, am expecting confirmation strictly on partisan lines, with the possible exception of Manchin voting to confirm.)

Focus on the photo with a bunch of Wiki blather and ignore the campaign's non-denial denial. Also, ignore all the other stuff about Hunter's trips to China & Ukraine and Biden admitting on camera that he pressured Ukraine to can the prosecutor investigating Burisma.

Yes, they are private and can do what they want. But they shouldn't be able to avoid libel suits by claiming they have no editorial discretion as to what their users put out and then act as publishers and edit the content of their users. They can't have it both ways.

Yes, the origin of how the e-mail came to light is suspect. But the non-denial denial by Biden sure does make it sound like the meeting between Joe and the Burisma exec that he thanked Hunter for arranging took place. "We have reviewed Joe Biden's official schedules from the time and no meeting, as alleged by the New York Post, ever took place." Clearly, if it wasn't on the OFFICIAL SCHEDULE, it couldn't have taken place. BUT even if a meeting did take place, it didn't happen as the NYP stated it did. If the meeting really didn't take place, why not simply say categorically that it didn't? Joe's on record as categorically denying he ever spoke to his son about his son's business dealings even though there's photos of him & Hunter golfing w/ a Burisma exec. So, it's not like he & his campaign are above bald faced lying.

Let's hope it backfires.

Interesting. But don't really put too much weight to it as nations posture all the time. And China always ratchets up the rhetoric when we consider (and actually do) arms sales to Taiwan.

Realizing Biden doing anything to support his son from his official capacity as VP is still merely alleged; but this combined with the video of Biden bragging that he got the Ukranian prosecutor canned is a very bad look. Too bad the media will in all likelihood sweep this under the rug as well.

Yep. For the 1st time in ages they have 2 full lines worth of top 6 skaters & for the 1st time since at least the early '90's 2 of those are arguably in the top 5 at their position. Fix the goaltending & if healthy, this should be a playoff team.

You expect that D's would be less likely to join a riot than R's would be? The events of the summer & fall don't seem to bear that out.

Too bad they didn't ask how comfortable they'd be attending a riot. Expecting those #'s would've flipped.

Yep. 6PM Nashville time, 7PM real time. Anybody know how long it's been since there was a Tuesday night NFL game?

If he did what he's accused of, fine, put him in jail.

Gee, you mean there's a difference between closing/ locking a thread & deleting one? Really don't understand why ANY thread should get deleted unless it was truly vile from the very 1st post. That said, totally get why the people that like to delete threads here tend to do so.

5th post down on 3rd page of the "additional information regarding the actions taken thread:" "As for this part, I do my best to be correct in these situations and for this I owe DR somewhat of an apology. I reread the messages yet again and he did not accuse another member of actually being a pedophile himself, but (paraphrasing) that the member supports those causes and that’s what the member stands for. The technical misrepresentation is completely my fault and I own that. However, the distinction between the two is rather small and the sentiment is essentially the same. Thank you for pointing it out. "

He also stated elsewhere that upon receiving further information that his initial take (which you quote) did not accurately represent what was conveyed in the PMs.

Pretty sure that is a misrepresentation of their conversation. Also, pretty sure you realize that. Which puts your post on par with that which you rail against.

It wasn't social media that took him down that road. It was researching a project he was working on that had him speaking w/ a bunch of MI types which then morphed into a desire to try to prove 45 was colluding with Russian intelligence. Only problem was, along the way, he found out it wasn't 45's team that was colluding with the Russians. He was 3 years ahead of info that's been getting made public through declassifications & the like. He's caught a tremendous amount of flack for his takes the past 3 years. Thing is, in Russiagate & Spygate he's actually been shown to be far more right than wrong. He still has his wild alien conspiracies too, but he was correct about a lot of stuff on this. Not all of it, but a lot of it. And if you look at the testimony that people gave under oath to the HSCI regarding Russian collusion versus what they say when not under oath on the cable news shows, he really has been a truly valuable resource. He's still the same good guy he was when he was voting for 44, but he's seen a lot of stuff we haven't had access to. (Sorry for the rambling response. This board lost a very good asset when Greg was sent to the sidelines.)

Really. DR was that well known right winger TGregg & GreggyT.

Yep.
