Indeed.

Not to mention it’s spread to our own politics at home; that twitter thread I shared is an unfortunate recent example (there was a demonstration in Manchester, as well).

If you haven’t yet, be sure to read The Atlantic’s long-form article about QAnon — they really do a very good job of explaining the chronology of it’s rise, analysing it’s current state, and extrapolating the future implications, including direct interviews with QAnon disciples.

They also had another write-up that effectively predicted that the US and UK will soon have QAnon disciples in government.

I'll dig it out at some point and give it a read.
 
US Postal Bill has passed in the house.

Trump will veto it.

Dems saying they've got evidence postmaster general is lying and he's cut far more than he's admitted to the public.

Trump won’t even need to veto, it’ll never pass the senate.

And I would be very surprised if any substantive action is taken against DeJoy and the board of governors before the election.

Or ever, depending on how the election goes.

Hillary Clinton was a known, and relatively disliked, candidate. Trump was a well-known celebrity and threatened exactly what he has done...shake up DC...just not in the way people are seeing!

The big differences in 2016 that are NOT in place this time are:

1) A woman at the top of the ticket
2) A hated woman at the top of the ticket
3) Trump is most definitely not a “Fuck it! Let’s give him a chance! How bad could it be?!” candidate in 2020.
4) Jill Stein. Don’t underestimate her siphoning off of the female vote and the “alternative to two bad choices” votes. She hurt Clinton.

Jill Stein? Gary Johnson, who would have taken votes away from Trump, got 3.25% (up from 1%) of the vote compared to her 1% (up from 0.36%)
 
What's the chances of a scandal coming out and harming Biden in the run in? It just feels as if trump might have a one or two dirty tricks up his sleeve. (I'm a neutral and don't care who wins)

In a US election, it’s not just numbers, it’s where they got the votes.

As “Vox” states:
It is true that if all these Stein voters had gone to Clinton, she would have won these three states and, as a result, won the election.

However, of more concern, and where Democrats are focusing greater attention...and Trump is focusing his voter suppression... is that more than 41 percent* of eligible voters didn’t vote in 2016!

*Of the 230,931,921 eligible voters, only 136,753,936 actually voted for President.

As someone living in Pakistan, or anywhere in the world, you should care. American influence in the region, and across the globe, can go either way.

An untethered, nothing to lose, no more elections to win, Trump should scare the living shit out of everyone!

Any know how rich people get much much richer? Betting on one side of a crisis!

Yeah — “neutral”. “Neutral” is for football matches where the fate of the free world isn’t invested in who wins or loses.

One would also think down double digits in the polls Trump would bring out his dirty tricks now — dirtier than nuking the post office and having his lap dogs accuse Harris of sleeping her way to the top — but, you know, ol’ Trump and that five-dimensional chess he plays — I’m sure he’s saving the big reveal for like October 20th.

You won't believe me but as far as our region is concerned Trump policies have been good from our point of view apart from Iran arguebly if you want to include Iran.

War in Afganistan has been a disaster for the region particularly pakistan as we paid the biggest price for it. Finally, under trump US government and pentagon establishment have agreed to put an end to this senseless war which has been on going for last 19 years.

US troops are starting to pull out, US government and taliban are in active talks and finally there is hope for the future. This hope is very important to any one living in this region as we have been ravaged by war and terrorism for decades.

So whoever continues this policy of ending afghan war and leaving the region has my support.
 
Probably already posted but:

trumps sister (retired judge) says in recorded conversations from 2018/2019:
Also alludes to writing his homework, driving around NY trying to get him into any college, and someone else taking his Uni exams.
Also his tweets/lying
 
I hope he wins again. The U.K. government haven’t once said anything about him being in anyway duplicitous and, as bastions of free thought and independent sovereignty, that’ll do for me. Not only that, but once we unshackle ourselves permanently from the not to be trusted Europeans, this man has promised us the greatest free trade deal in history. We can sell him whatever we want, no strings attached, and buy anything off them as well, with absolutely no interference in the running of our country, as a trade off.
Whatever anyone thinks, he might fudge the truth a tad on Covid, or his taxes, or his opponents and many other things but he would NEVER lie about giving Blighty the best deal in history, would he?

Less than the chances of Trump telling the US that his people have found a vaccine on election week. The scandal he wants is this Ukraine business with Biden's son but it has been found to be bollocks already

If he had irrefutable dirt on Biden do you think he would be going to so much trouble to corrupt the election process?

By corrupting the electoral process (USPS/voting machines/polling station removal, etc.) he is exposing himself to potential criminality, which is a massive risk if he loses the election.
