The ISO (which is the international body that sets standards across the financial services industry) has denied applications from New York- and California-based banks to create new merchant class codes for firearms and ammunition retailers.   

And good for them!  Payment processors shouldn't kowtow to pressure from anti-gun politicians and activists bent on creating what would functionally be a registry of gun owners.

Because basically no other metric besides polling suggests any sort of Trump landslide. Midterms and special elections. Donations and fundraising. Campaign offices and ground game. Demographics and demographic changes in key states.

Because none of these metrics matter. And demographic change is pointless when within that demographic you see a mass drop in turnout.

If demographic change in states was all that mattered, really you could write in the winning party from 2024 to 2052 basically with 100% confidence.

You can make the same argument polls don’t matter because they aren’t actually real like election results and donation numbers.

Also Demographic change does matter because in a state like GA, it gives Biden a bit of a cushion to perhaps like with black voters for instance. It doesn’t guarantee he’ll win the state but certainly helps him.

This is an even bigger own than when MATTROSE94 was banned!

The Los Angeles Unified School District is only 10% White; Boston Public Schools only 15%. 

Even public schools located in predominantly White neighborhoods (like University High School in Brentwood) are less than 20% White.  It's mostly because rich, White parents opt to send their kids to private schools.   

OK and my statement still stands, lol.

Amendment is Adopted by a vote of 2-0.

Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish.

Not that it'll matter. Some other horrible jagoff will just get the job, anyway. Not like Iran would ever get a Reformist President out of it.

Hope to God this anti-American criminal doesn't get elected to office again.

Kari Lake is a step too far, but Trump is fine?

Evidently there are people who feel this way.

If Democrats miraculously maintain the Senate while Trump wins the election

Oh I'd be shocked if that happens, especially in a world where Trump wins. All I'm saying is that polls show a substantial number of voters choosing Trump or third-party presidential candidates who also intend to vote for down-ballot Democrats. I'm not sure we have any good reasons to believe that these voters are either lying or will change their minds en masse between now and November.

Particularly in states like MT, OH, PA with popular Dem incumbents running, Biden's margin deficit remains in the high single digits or even as many as 15 points relative to those down-ballot Democrats. The same general trend holds in virtually every other competitive state, just not to the same degree.
