He saw his polling numbers with women I see.

Heh, he's just using the same tweets about black voters but subbing in women now.

 

everyone keeps asking if they can fuck the statue. Buddy they won’t even let me fuck it

So... we just sit and watch this election be stolen?

Yeah, I mean what else can we do lol. Protest? Nobody with power in either party really cares.

 

general strike

tweets accomplish nothing

 

I dunno how much a general strike from the jobs no one has and/or people are desperate to find is gonna work.

 

Kinda surprised Dodd was pushing Bass.

 

Anybody working for Biden who was pushing Rice should be fired immediately.

 

Hoefler, one of the absolute best in the world in typography, helped on the new Biden/Harris logo.

I can’t remember an election in which so much attention (and speculation) has surrounded the choice of a running mate, nor having such a large field of eminently qualified candidates to choose from. A consequential decision at an unpredictable time, conducted under absolute secrecy, poses an interesting dilemma to the typographer: how do you create a logo without knowing for certain what the words will say? Logos, after all, are meaningfully informed by the shapes of their letters, and a logo designed for an eisenhower will hardly work for a taft. The solution, naturally, involves the absurd application of brute force: you just design all the logos you can think of, based on whatever public information you can gather. Every credible suggestion spotted in an op-ed was added to the list that we designers maintained, and not once did the campaign even hint at a preference for one name over another.

While the press debated the merits of the candidates’ backgrounds, my discussions concerned the shapes of their names. Short names versus long ones; names that began with awkwardly-shaped letters; names with ornery kerning pairs. Names whose letters aligned strangely with biden, disqualifying entire categories of visual arrangement; names that run long, thanks to a W or M, or short because of an I, or all three at once. ‘Heterogrammatical’ names, which contain no repeating letters; names that are schnapps-words. One peculiar feature of political design is that each logo is beholden to the others, which allows the campaign to safely prepare an identity that anticipates last-minute developments. Another is how it affects the usual pattern of advocacy and critique: recommending a logo that works for only a specific handful of candidates, there’s no way of truly knowing what calculus will inform the feedback, because you never know if you’re working with placebos. By necessity, good political design is a rigorous, single-blind study.

He didn't even know who it would be while putting it together.

“She’ll Scare the S--t Out of Suburban Women”: Inside Trumpworld’s Anti-Kamala Harris Attack Plan

Donald Trump didn’t expect Joe Biden to pick Kamala Harris as his running mate. “He thought Biden would choose Karen Bass,” a Republican briefed on Trump’s thinking said. Trump’s view, according to sources close to the White House, was that Biden would prefer a candidate with Bass’s low national profile and one who wouldn’t outshine him.

LOL @ Pence.

 

Exclusive: Postal service inspector general reviewing DeJoy's policy changes and potential ethics conflicts - CNNPolitics

Last week, Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, and eight other Democratic lawmakers asked the inspector general to launch an inquiry into DeJoy on a number of fronts, including the nationwide policy changes he's made since taking over in June, as well as whether DeJoy has "met all ethics requirements."

"We have learned that the United States Postal Service Office of the Inspector General is investigating all aspects of our request," Warren spokeswoman Saloni Sharma told CNN.

It's unclear if the inspector general has launched a full-scale investigation into possible politicization at USPS by DeJoy, a Trump ally and Republican donor, or if it's just reviewing the matter for Congress.

 

Feels like there should be a law prohibiting donors from being appointed to these types of positions.

 

Is there anything the inspector general can do? Ted Lieu made it seem like POTUS is the only one who can do anything about DeJoy which didn't seem right to me

 

okay so Biden is going to make cows religion and the suburbs illegal, cool
