OH +1.0%
NC +0.8%
TX -2.2%

That would be 351-187.

389-149 if TX flipped. Which would suddenly make all the righties haters of the Electoral College. The EC is no longer your friend if you start off with a goose egg from CA, TX, NY, FL, PA and IL.

Still 318-220 if Joe doesn't get OH, NC, TX.

Let's go Joe!!!

Let's go Joe!!

Pete, what are you going to do if Florida goes blue?

Move to Alabama? Oh wait. They may re-elect Doug Jones.

I guess it will have to be Mississippi or bust.

Texas will turn 'blue' way before Florida. Florida, if anything, is getting redder by the minute.

Is this the same James Mattis who was on Theranos' board? The Theranos which fraudulently wasted a billion of investor money, and the Theranos where Mattis helped some no-bid cozy contracts for their bs testing kit?

I want to be sure it's the same guy you now hold in such high esteem. Let me know. Thanks!

Derek Chauvin - yes that guy in a heap load of trouble in Minneapolis, has now been accused of voting illegally (as a Republican) in the 2016 and 2018 elections while living and working for the Minneapolis police department:

Chauvin does have a home in Orlando, but would not likely remain eligible to vote working full time in MN.

PB would welcome him as one of those "real Republicans" of whom he's so found. ;)

I'm a lot less stressed about people voting in the wrong state (though you'd want an officer of the law to have a clue), as that could be just an error, but if he voted in both places...

It's indeed ironic though.

PB could be correct, though, about getting "redder"...in the face...and the neck...

voter fraud incident rates are between 0.0003 percent and 0.0025 percent. So with 63,000,000 votes, at the high end of the range, that’s 1,500 fraudulent votes.

Any point in bringing up the entire Trump lifetime history of being a dishonest broker, and comparing his record to Mattis'? Probably not. Enjoy your Trump Steaks while staring at your Trump U. degree while considering whether it would be a good idea to donate to the Trump charitable foundation... While we're at it, how about a big salute to Commander and Chief Bonespurs for his lifeong dedicated service to our country.

and that's responsive to Mattis, Kelly, Mullen, Dempsey, Allen, et al...how?

But you want to change the subject. That's what trollers do...

Arrest and prosecute anyone beating someone up. Doesn't matter ideology.
Pretty simple.

But that's also going to mean a bunch of police need to be arrested and prosecuted. Right?

"Trollers" to you are simply posters who have perfectly clear answers to your preferred narrative.

You want cops arrested? Great. Is Chauvin in jail or is he still kneeing people? Did you need more from him? Should we do away with his day in court and just go ahead and hang him?

Or are you talking about other cops who are on edge for a reason (getting things thrown at you might do that, seeing your colleagues run over by SUV's might do that, seeing your cities burn might do that)? Is it all one-dimensional to you MD? Orange Cop Bad?

I'd love for one Fanlax lib to spend half a day in the shoes of the police trying to prevent Thunderdome and see if they could resist not cracking the skull of the next dweeb antifa far left arse who tosses hot p!ss in your face while telling you they are going to kill your wife. Half a day. Come back and keep railing all police then

Given recent events, I now think that Susan Rice is Biden's most likely running mate.
It has to be a black woman now & she's the only VP candidate with the foreign policy cred.
Can't wait for Ben Rhodes as their National Security Advisor.

PB obviously thinks "dominate the streets" with as much of a display of force as the police can muster, backed up by the threat to use the US military against our own citizens is the solution to the current unrest. I think Trump and his show of strength response particularly including his tendency to want to use the US military while downplaying the need to address the root causes for the current chaos is misguided and counterproductive. In any event I still propose James Mattis won't be voting for Trump.
