Nexus2's JournalIs it too "tin foil hat" to to suspect something is off about the handling of mail-in ballots?
Specifically how the ballots from minorities and democratic areas appear to be getting rejected at higher rates (some as high as double) than ballots from whites or Republican 'stronghold' regions?
Is MSNBC no longer coming in on SLING for anyone else?
It stopped working (no sound or picture) for me at about 4pm EST.
I wish they'd stop calling them 'militias'. Call them what they are Heavily armed gangs.
Underneath the paramilitary trappings and patriotic hot air.
The picture (tweet) of fear and desperation

I've heard/read from several different sources that they've been getting steadily smaller until recently I began hearing they were actually getting larder from Non-Fox/Non-WH sources including Andrea Mitchell at one point (!?).
That was disturbing to say the least. 
What's the real deal about them if its been lain out anywhere?
Do you think Trump going on about law enforcement watching Democratic Governors at the highest level
at his recent 'Fragile Ego Pity party and Covidfest' and in any interview for Fox Business meant anything or was just more bluster and tough talk? What has Barr been up to? Officials are offering any explanation or seeming walk back.

Can Peter Navarro get any further up Trump's butt?
Watching an interview with him on The Week and like always he is the biggest suck up, Trump emulating mini-me for Twitler ever. Its as annoying to listen to him as his Liege Lord. I bet he has a shrine to him.
Sorry had to vent. But I can't wait until he makes a slip and due to pure expediency Trump tosses him under the bus like he has so many others.
Trump, the GOP and the ACA
If this is dumb question please excuse me. Its pretty clear why Trump is Hell bent on trashing the ACA. It has Obama's scent on it so must destroyed. Pure jealous spite, something he has in endless supply.
But what beef does the GOP overall have with it? Basically the same thing, they don't want to give the Democratic party a 'win' or a last positive change, petty enough to seethe this long over Obam getting something passed their road block or has their been concocted alleged reason it must be done away with as fast as possible?
Got my vote in today, it felt good
Even though being in Ky, makes my presidential pick more than likely symbolic due to the EC.
Vox article: 'Trump exploited a broken press. Here's how to fix it.'
To his credit, Biden dismissed the question, but that’s not really the point. The story the reporter was referencing, which was peddled to the Post by Rudy Giuliani, is absolute bullshit. The staff journalist who wrote the story even reportedly refused to put his name on the byline out of concerns that it was bogus and unreliable.
If any of this reminds you of Hillary Clinton’s fake email scandal in 2016, it should. Then, as now, the goal of people like Giuliani was to get the press to cover a story not in order to convince people that it’s true, but to amplify a false narrative and divert attention — and maybe drive the public to exhaustion. It’s a strategy that Steve Bannon colorfully dubbed “flooding the zone with shit.”
I’ve written about this problem more than once (here and here) and yet I still struggle to come up with viable solutions. The pattern is always the same: Trump, or operators working on his behalf, flood the zone with shit and the media responds as it always does: it covers the story. Even though much of the coverage is skeptical, as the Washington Post’s Greg Sargent argued, the mere fact that stories are printed with the words “Biden” and “emails” means the zone-flooding approach succeeded.
