We're not easily offended and don't want people to think they have to walk on eggshells around here (like at another place that shall remain nameless) but of course, there is a limit to everything.
Play nice!
I’m afraid Possum is right, but I’m hoping the polls are as wrong as they were in ‘16.
It’s going to come down to turnout. I don’t think the enthusiasm is anywhere near as high for Biden. That’s where we can win. God help his country if we have Sanders/AOC/Harris’ muppet in office. Until they invoke the 25th on him.
I can see that happening on 1/22 and I can see it taking 2 years so Harris has the chance to run things for 2 years as Biden and then finishing his term and getting the chance of 2 of her own.
WTF?

Emails found on laptop along with sex and drug pics of Hunter Biden suggest former VP Joe DID meet his son’s Ukraine business contacts – one year before he had prosecutor investigating them fired
That’s not what’s weird. THIS is
The Post says the collection of messages and images were recovered on a MacBook Pro laptop that was brought into a Delaware computer shop by someone looking like Hunter and never picked up. It had a Beau Biden Foundation sticker on it.
never picked up. huh.

The FBI has it and has apparently done squat so Guiliani just blew it up.
And right after the NY Post story drops, the Biden campaign calls a lid.

If I heard right the FBI has been sitting on it since last December – throughout the entire fake impeachment!!
On one hand I want it to be true, on the other … well, “the FBI you say ? No, it can’t be, it just CAN’T BE, they’re are … are … the FBI !! !!”

Ah. Great minds think alike. I agree that crowd size is certainly a big factor in thinking Trump might win – they’re better than polls. But I wonder how many people will vote Biden/Harris or just stay home simply due to antipathy toward Trump. And I don’t think there’s any way to measure that. It’s the invisible factor. I don’t have any feel for it, so it doesn’t make me think Trump will lose, but I DO think it’s an element that gets ignored.
@ 4_Sticks:
I’m thinking Guiliani gave the files to the NY Post because the FBI hasn’t done jack.
I’m also thinking Joe ran for POTUS to keep out of the FBI’s clutches
Twitter is BLATANTLY suppressing the Hunter Biden story, even if tweeted by an editor at the NY Post. “link identified as potentially harmful”

While I will intentionally not link to the New York Post, I want be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by Facebook’s third-party fact checking partners. In the meantime, we are reducing its distribution on our platform.
This is part of our standard process to reduce the spread of misinformation. We temporarily reduce distribution pending fact-checker review.
We have some polling weirdness going on in my state right now or the people of the state have lost their collective minds. They have the Republican candidates winning on every front EXCEPT for the senate race which is a popular incumbent Republican candidate vs a scandal ridden dem governor who’s mishandled the COVID situation and basically lied saying he’s the greatest of all time. Yet somehow polling has him with a several point lead. Yet all other polling looks legit with the dems being beaten.

I think the race is even. And most people have permanently decided who they will vote for. Now some of them will be too lazy to send in the mail in ballot.

Hubby just came up with a very plausible scenario.
What if the Dems in the Senate just refuse to show up for the ACB vote? And they stay out until after the election.
The election goes to SCOTUS, it’s an 8 justice court.
And if Trump DOES win – they just continue to stay away because he’s not ‘legitimate’
@ eaglesoars:
Very possible.

Oh! I almost forgot. Coming back from fetching Mia from doggy day care, there was a 2 block line of people from the corner at the light to the Franconia Gov’t Center. I caught the red light so I rolled down the window and asked what the line was for.

At least 100 people. Probably more.
So I’m guessing turnout is going to be big.

Final day of Barrett’s hearing kicking off with Senator Durbin telling Chairman Graham that the committee can not proceed because there are not enough Democrats in the room to reach a quorum.
Graham sets the Barrett vote for Oct. 22 and Durbin says he cannot proceed without a quorum.
“We cannot move forward without another member of the minority present.”
Graham moves forward anyways.

Despite similar rally attendance four years ago, the lady who drew fewer people than a cow-patty draws flies managed to secure more popular votes than the guy who was stuffing arenas.
Which begs the question: who is counting the votes?
And again…28 mins ago from Schumer
Senate Democrats just denied Republicans the quorum they needed in Judiciary.
But Senator Graham just further proved the illegitimacy of this sham process by AGAIN breaking the rules to ram through a justice to rip away health care from millions in the middle of a pandemic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Hauraki
Great story about Radio Hauraki, especially the early days.
Peter Telling was a ‘drive time’ host and part time weekend commercial pilot. After getting married the only flying job available was as an instructor in Gisbourne 400 miles East of Auckland, where the new Mrs. AI was a bacteriologist, and actually making real money. Pete Telling used to smuggle Mrs. AI onto his Sunday afternoon flight as excess baggage. Mrs AI would meetme around the back of the hangar in Gisbourne for a kiss and cuddle, swap dirty clothes for clean ones and away she’d fly until next week! Strangely all of my students who had to do long range navigation exercises used to end up in Auckland for the night camped out on Mrs. AI and my flat’s couch! 🙂
My mode of transport in Gisbourne to get to and from the airfield was an old bike I found in the back of a hangar with trick off centre wheels. You’d get sea sick riding it and the local school kids would roar with laughter when I rode past on my way back to the Te Waitiatia Hostel for Maori boys! The only accommodation I could afford. Still one of my students was the manager of the local major motel at the edge of town and he used to feed me breakfast a couple of times a week before we went flying!
🙂
Mrs. AI and I are headed towards our 47th. wedding anniversary so I must have done something righ, although she receives the right to renew our co-habiting arrangement annually just to keep me on my toes!

Covid 19 Wuhan Flu update from down under.
Lockdown free airtravel bubble opens between NZ and New South Wales in Australia today. NZ’s cases are now 3 in managed isolation and all from overseas. There are a few hundred travellers currently in 14 day isolation in country but only the three current cases. No community transmission for the past month and Level 1 (just be careful and wash your hands and if you want to wear a mask on public transport. Everything is open and back to normal
Now all we have to worry about is the 12.8% of GNP in extra debt thet this BS lockdowns cost the country and dealing with a socialist moron being elected tomorrow (probably) who couldn’t organise her way out of a wet paper bag without instructions. …. buttt she’s so empathetic …. read pathetic!
For crying out aloud. NZ is an ISLAND with a 2000 Km Moat around it. Groucho Marx and his brothers could have organised a no community transmission scenario … but without the saccharin self serving “let’s all be kind to one another” BS

Do you have a message from Twitter? They tightened their noose aggressively with me. I retweeted a pro Trump article about 10 times in a few minutes and they flagged me for phone verification. Not really any different than what the big trolls do and kind of harmless. And the platform lends itself to that.
I decided not to provide them more information as they seemed to be trying to educate me on the proper way to talk.

Hammerheads and tiger sharks as well as sting rays come to spawn and drop their pubs in the mangroves about 8 Km from here. The sharks moms however don’t hang around and the first heavy rains of the year they all go back to the ocean leaving the pups behind to grow and hide in the mangroves from the whales and pods of various dolphins species that are all over these beaches. The fish are plentiful and the small sharks don’t bother anyone at all.

Everyone I’ve talked to who is ‘minor’ on the right on Twitter (including me) is being blacked out. ‘Twitter is overloaded.’ ‘Sorry, we can’t post this right now.’ Etc.
I think that Twitter realized it couldn’t kill the big accounts without blowback so it’s trying to cut off the oxygen by killing the retweeters.
I don’t have any contacts with major players in this field. And because of how it’s happening, I’m not even sure they’re aware.
But people like me (100 followers) aren’t being allowed to post, comment or retweet. And it seems to be twitter wide.
If you’ve got contacts that can get the word out, so much the better.

There is a second Bledesloe Cup match up between the All Blacks and the Wallabies in about 30 hours.
16 all last week in the first match. The Wallabies fancy themselves, however this week will be Eden Park, where thousands of Australian rugby hearts have been broken over the past 23 years. The All Blacks coming off a draw and in front of a full house at Eden Park of rabid AB supporters will be hard to beat.
Should be an outstanding game. Weather looks good as well so a load of fast hard rugby is in the offing.

Not a fan of UPS anyway, but just got this in my email:
Hear Lessons on Life and Business from NBA Hall of Famer and Atlanta Hawks Vice-Chairman Grant Hill
You won’t want to miss the next VIP webinar in our Be UnstoppableTM series for small business.
Gerard Gibbons, UPS President of Small Business and U.S. Marketing, will talk with Grant Hill, NBA Hall of Famer and Atlanta Hawks Vice-Chairman and entrepreneur. Tune in and you will:
Hear Grant’s mindset for problem solving and finding ways to adjust in life and business after unexpected events or setbacks
Learn why diversity is important in business and how to harness the power of diversity to transform and differentiate your business
Discover how Grant manages his time and priorities as a business person
Hear the qualities Grant thinks are essential for entrepreneurial success, and what he looks for in the small businesses he invests in
Learn three things about UPS to help set up your business for success
Yeah, if “diversity” is one of the recommendations, then I don’t think any of his advice for setting up a business is for success. It’s wrong to hire people based on how they look or how they are plumbed. Period, no matter which way you are discriminating. I’ll put up any business that hires for best candidate against those who hire for diversity and will bet you that my pick wins.
