***Official Political Discussion Thread***

Trump also implied on Fox that Barr’s job is in jeopardy if he doesn’t fulfill Trump’s wish of locking up his political rivals, including Biden and Obama.
Trump said Barr would end up in “a sad situation” if he doesn’t start rounding them up

I don't even care if these morons hold rallies. If you're dumb enough to go to one and get COVID that's on you.

I kinda think Biden and Harris should answer the court packing question along the lines of it's something they would consider if Republicans continue to make up bull**** so that they can block Democrat nominated judges and appoint Republican nominated judges.

just tell the truth, they will listen to the voices of the American people

unlike republicans, they won’t do anything by force and use of minority control

make it easier for Americans to vote and have a say in things.. if the American people disagree with their actions, well more of em will have a say in changing things

This short video sums up perfectly why Trump is a threat no matter what the polls say. There is a very large percentage of Americans who are dumb AF and blindly vote and support politicians.

Biden and Harris are probably avoiding the court packing question because of down ticket races.

Tons of centrist are running in purple House districts. You have close Senate races in purple and red states.

Biden and Harris could say they will consider it and it won't make much of a difference for their race. But it give the GOP an opening to use the sound bite to attacking down ticket Dems.

So vague no answers might be for the best.

RustyShackleford time to pack the bags?

Nah, not yet

it is so massive because of the stimulus bills. But Trump was running 1 trillion deficits already.

I think that when Biden is President, he’ll have the platform to sell court packing to Americans who aren’t sold now.

He can lay out the fact that the court has already been packed via McConnell’s obstruction. He can go on to point out that Trump lost the popular vote and his appointees were approved through a Senate elected by a minority of voters.

Obviously, if Amy Kobe Bryant does something radical in the next 12 months, the sell will be even easier.

So I trust you guys opinions of topics such as politics and whatnot.

When I talk to people that support trump...and trust..I keep it to a minimum....I mention I watch cnn and they go off about how it fake news.


Do you guys view cnn as fake news? Seems legit to me. They come with fact checkers and proven numbers. Don and cuomo and AC and the numerous strong female leads all seem legit.

Am I washed because I trust cnn now? Did I get old? I also follow threads like this and some solids twitter pages to get all the angles.

Hating main stream media just seems so tin foil hat and conspiracy trailer hick type steeze to me.

I watch CNN but make no mistake, their reporting is clearly biased one way. Also, I don’t think threads like this really provide all the angles as this thread is skewed sharply left.

Don, Cuomo, and AC are all pundits. In their defense, they don’t even try to pretend they are giving unbiased reporting. That said, Fox News is pure comedy. A clown show. So relying on them for unbiased reporting is ridiculous.

C-Span is probably your best bet if you are looking for just unbiased information.

Personally I prefer threads like this that skew sharply the opposite of my personal views. It helps to reduce confirmation bias.

The problem with CNN is that it's explicitly entertainment. It's adjacent to ESPN.

The information is always genuine and factual, they're not pedaling overt white supremacy, but they're so contrived and I don't doubt that their position on issues of equality, social justice and general morality are about eyeballs first and not any sense of real conviction.

Their television is hardly a news network, they're an entertainment network, but again they do tell the truth, and when the primary like-for-like alternative is an open white supremacist propaganda network in Fox News, they can carry being truthful and morally decent all the way to the bank.

My biggest complaint about CNN is that they bring the lowest common denominator Republican/White supremacist shill on as a counter point, and just let them talk bull**** (see Kayleigh Mcenany circa 2016, Jason Miller, etc), instead of actual coherent opposing views that can then be countered and dismantled in constructive manner, by their generally solid political commentators.

I'd be more likely to tune in and watch caricatures like Don Lemon or Chris Cuomo as a form of entertainment/background noise at the end of the day if the network took itself more or less seriously, I'm not even ****ing sure which.

You're not gonna see any political news on CNN that you didn't see a link to here in this thread first, earlier in the day, and also connected to better written sources, commentary, and probably analysis .

But this all minutiae that's pretty irrelevant in a conversation with a Trump supporter.

There's zero equivalency between CNN and fake news, or an overtly racist propaganda network like Fox News.

Someone saw the poll numbers in texas

This is why Twitter needs to be taken down. NONE of this is true yet it’ll go unchecked. Twitter and Facebook is trash. Zuck needs to hit his head on a moving bus
