It's Mueller time!

The movement behind Joe Biden is trending far more progressive than he's been in the past, but I feel that Joe understands that, and his campaign is reflecting much of that change.

Right. When he told everyone from Bernie's campaign (starting with Nina Turner) to go kick rocks, that was Biden opening the tent and inviting the progressives in? He gave them a task force, and shoved them in the corner, as planned.

Biden's plan for progressives is the same as Hillary's: You're with us and you have no choice. The big difference is not nearly as many people hate Biden as they did Hillary, so apathy might work this time.

How about some meaningful changes instead of spray painting a street?

At some point reform theater is actually going to have to manifest itself into something other than empty gestures.

"Joe Biden just gave speech abt pandemic. CNN didn't cover it live. CNN did air a 3-hr primetime special Sat night for Trump's rally."

CNN isn't going to be responsible for the very real possibility you see his brain leaking out of his ear on live television.

The realists see economic inequality to the hilt, unrest everywhere, unprecedented unemployment, a virus outbreak...and one of the number one issues in the next ten years is climate change.

The realists, ladies and gentlemen...

This is also not a sporting event it is a Presidential debate on campus. Given the state of COVID-19 heading into the fall - I don't blame them one bit. Their first priority is to protect staff and students.

They are going to play football in the fall. The homecoming game is a week after this debate was planned.

The problem that needs to be solved is a lack of accountability and transparency in police departments.

You need to blow up police unions as well. Honestly, there shouldn't be any public service unions, but that's a debate for another thread.

Republicans don't want that. Police Unions don't want that.
Welcome to America.

There are plenty of Democrats who don't want it either. But it has to be done. These cops cannot be trusted to do the right thing, even when they've got the camera staring them straight in the face.

Cloudstrike who worked for the DNC and investigated the hack said they couldn't say it was the Russians, just as good a chance it was a disgruntled Bernie supporter. Again under oath. Keep trying though.

It is truly amazing that people have watched this story for years, and literally have no idea what has happened, other than what the media has told them what happened.

You can present transcripts, primary documents, whatever. It means absolutely nothing compared to Rachael Maddow running her mouth and making up reality from whole cloth.

Because the University of Michigan has a good reason for backing out 4 months in advance as location? Not sure what this has to do with Biden? I know what the Universities are going through trying to provide safe campuses for the fall. A crowd of thousands isn't exactly a good fit with health and safety... Take it to Ford Field. Little Ceasar's Arena or somewhere else.

The plan is to minimize Biden's exposure to the public and to use COVID as the excuse.

It also probably allows Biden to cycle on and off whatever drugs he's taking to wake himself to debate, for maximum effectiveness.

They're going to have football games at the Big House this year. Nobody gives a ---- about the health of the public.

Slap an LTE beacon on every cop car.
MAC lock all body cameras to that LTE beacon.
Everything streams through that LTE beacon to multiple third parties who anonymously manage bodycam data.
A local encrypted copy on integrated storage is compared to the copies in the cloud for veracity.
Do it all within 72 hours.

This isn't hard. We have the technology.

Every major sport can figure it out, but University of Michigan can't. Riiiight...

This thread is great and has aged beautifully!

The fix is in, and Rona will be the excuse for keeping Biden in his cocoon whenever necessary.

There was a tribute to Nulli.

Awesome. I was banned so I didn't get to participate.

Of topic posts are always prevalent.

The Nooner is an officially sanctioned off topic post.

The nooner is still there, but it's now moderated.

Yes. Moderation creep. You guys love that ----.

In my opinion (and it is just my opinion) the Nooner is going through a very positive transformation right now. Many of the vilest and angriest posters have self-exiled. That has not decreased the overall number of posts, but it has noticeably lessened the amount of vitriol. There still is quite a bit, but less. And in the process of transforming, the Nooner (for now at least) has less troll bait that leads to endless offtopic posting. I think as the transformation continues, the Nooner will only continue to improve.

Less vitriol in the Nooner is not an improvement, in my humble opinion.

Literally every other area on the Retort is a "safe space".

The Nooner and the users are the only links to the origins of this site.

So is the nooner nuked at this point?

Again, I don't want to disrespect or press the issue, I've just been out of the mix.

Is the nooner dead? All my nooner links are dead and searching for any nooner brings up nothing.

Apologies for thread jacking, but I don't know where to go for off topic discussions if the nooner is dead.

What would you like this imbecile to be doing other than golfing?

Trump never does this to make up for a remark that offended people.

I'd much rather have a president who can admit a mistake.

Biden 2020: A Trump That Apologizes!

Actually, quality consistent data would likely justify the measures taken by showing they've worked.

Or they don't work any better than what Sweden and Japan did.

It would also make it unnecessary to have the same policies in place for everywhere at the same time.

I completely agree with this.

What "authoritarian nonsense" are you referring to?
???

Trump seizing PPE shipments intended for the States?

I don't know what state you live in. I live in Michigan, and it's been nothing but authoritarian nonsense.

Yes, actually. Are you voting for Biden in November?

Not a chance in ----.

The data may be bad, but the decision to muddy the waters is deliberate.

Of course. You can't justify any of this authoritarian nonsense if they were delivering quality consistent data.

Donald Trump is the Chief Executive responsible for the CDC.

Donald Trump is also doing a bad job. Anything else, simpleton?

Jeff got banned?

It isn't sort of lame. It's totally lame.

Consistent delivery of bad data has been a feature of the CDC throughout this process.
