Carnegie Museum could have saved themselves a lot of trouble and moronic social media attention by just saying it’s an inaccurate portrayal of human history, lion hunting habits, and contains human remain.
Exactly.

Your daily reminder that Biden is going to win, and Democrats are going to win bigly.

I felt like whoever got voted in the past election was going to lose bigtime come 2020. Both candidates from 2016 were just prone to serious hate when they finally got into office. I don't think Hillary had the freak/cult like following so she'd have lost way worse this election than Trump is going to.

Trump's still going to win. Around here (yeah, I know, Somerset) it's easily 8-2 Trump vs Biden if not higher. And Trumpers are rabid in their support whereas I don't know anyone who is more than lukewarm over Biden. I just don't see Biden pulling this off, regardless of what the polls say. He doesn't have any fervent support. All he has is the anti-Trump vote and while I expect him to win the popular vote, ultimately I don't see that as enough to carry the electoral college.

Ohio and Pennsylvania will be red most likely.

Michigan, Wisconsin, and Arizona will be blue.

Trump loses.

I guess the only challenge to this statement is how the turnout is over Philly and Pittsburgh. Everything in between is just assumed red anyways.

That's the rub, as I see it. I just don't see Biden getting out the vote in the numbers needed.

How can anyone in his base be ok with his appeasement of Russia?

I think what's ultimately annoying, is that he's both sidesing it, but there was a joint investigation done that concluded that Russia actively interfered, is still interfering, and it really didn't have anything to do with mail-in balloting.

His actions and words on Russia have been without a doubt contradictory.

Beefing up troop presence in Poland, reestablishing lethal weapon gifting to Ukraine, countering Iran and direct conflict in Syria, among other things don't square with his words of support for Putin.

Because he has an R next to his name.

I tried bringing up the whole Russian interference thing to my dad (hasn't voted D since Jimmy Carter), who had always said Russia was bad and up to no good. He said "Well we interfere everywhere else so it's fine now".

Doubt he would've said that in 2008 or 2012 in a hypothetical scenario with Russia helping Obama.

Likewise the "Russian reset" and "I'll have more flexibility after the election".

Letters after the name do much to change things.

Also, Biden keeps repeating this, but it's something that is not true, and something he took from Neil Kinnock.

Trump is bulletproof. He could hold a press conference during prime time, say he hates America and that all of the people who vote for him are fools, and they would still vote for him because they hate Democrats/liberalism that much. I don't think there is a single thing he could do to lose his base.

The story from Pence's former aide is a good example. Clinton called people "deplorables" and it became a rallying cry for the right. Trump calls those same people "disgusting" and they pretend like it never happened. The guy is truly Teflon Don.
