As we wrote yesterday, Kamala Harris' decision to release her medical report wasn't really about reassuring the American public (since those reports are always somewhere between "positive" and "overwhelmingly positive"), it was about putting the ball in Donald Trump's court, and making HIS health an issue. The plan has already worked like a charm. read more
As long as we are on the subject of Donald Trump's mental health, we are now going to write about his rally/town hall yesterday. We don't usually do that, but he was in particularly bizarre form. read more
today, we're going to talk about polls. but before we do, everybody take a deep fucking breath. remember "flooding the zone with shit"? that was one-man leper colony Steve Bannon's plan for how Trumpism wins. here's how it works: create information chaos. drown everyone in a sea of misinformation. put out dozens of stories a day, with each new one contradicting the last. confuse the shit out of people to the point where no one has any fucking clue which end is up. eventually, the public will give up, and check out. whatever, just make it stop. this year, wingnut pollsters have adopted Rotty Steve's strategy. they're flooding the zone with shit polls " polls that show Donny is winning, when he's not. the goal? to make you give up and stay home on election day. you're being gaslighted. don't you dare fall for it. read more
We have no doubt that the presence of the word "polling" and the word "blue" has given 100% of readers the wrong impression as to what this piece is about. We shall rectify that promptly. read more
Let us now conduct a brief review of the lecture that, as chance would have it, (Z) delivered yesterday. In 1846, an enslaved man named Dred Scott, along with his wife Harriet, filed a lawsuit demanding manumission. The argument was that while the duo had once lived in the slave state of Missouri, they had traveled with their owner to the non-slave states of Minnesota and Wisconsin. This being the case, their continued enslavement was illegal. Of the first 12 presidents of the United States, nine were Southern slave owners. You know what kind of judges Southern slave owners tend to appoint? That's right, Southern slave owners. And so, by the 1850s, the Supreme Court was jam-packed with slave-owning justices, including the Maryland slave owner who served as Chief Justice, Roger Taney. Taney held that post for close to 30 years, and had his fellow justices largely wrapped around his finger. read more

Yep.
You really should learn when you should just keep your ignorant mouth shut, lfthndthrds.
You're welcome.
100% oops:
The impetus for a North American free trade zone began with U.S. president Ronald Reagan, who made the idea part of his 1980 presidential campaign. After the signing of the Canada"United States Free Trade Agreement in 1988, the administrations of U.S. president George H. W. Bush, Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari, and Canadian prime minister Brian Mulroney agreed to negotiate what became NAFTA. Each submitted the agreement for ratification in their respective capitals in December 1992, but NAFTA faced significant opposition in both the United States and Canada. All three countries ratified NAFTA in 1993 after the addition of two side agreements, the North American Agreement on Labor Cooperation (NAALC) and the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation (NAAEC).You really should learn when you should just keep your ignorant mouth shut, lfthndthrds.
You're welcome.
Postscript (to TonyRoma): Thanks for your #10.

Hate to disappoint you, lfthndthrds (NSFW), but NAFTA was George H.W. Bush's massive trade deal, and the agreement was signed in 1992, before Clinton was elected president.
Again, you're welcome.
