<playing devil's advocate here>so the theory is that she is still loyal to the CIA, still getting paid by the CIA...both?  Are you suggesting she's more loyal to the CIA than the USA?  Or that she might she might push NPR to cover more stories that make the CIA look good, or fewer stories that make it look bad?  Are ex-CIA agents allowed to work anywhere else without it being suspicious?

Trump - 44
Biden- 43

Goddamnit Biden.

One minute you say Bibi is garbage, and the next you're defending him from being held accountable for all the sh!t he's been doing?

Make up your mind already instead of this half-assed stuff you've been doing.

It was great, and a lot more wholesome than you might expect it to be if you haven't seen it before. It also has one of the best sets of sitcom parents ever, in my opinion.

I can't believe this guy lives in Thibodaux, but also, CNN: there's no such thing as "Thibodaux County" (or even Thibodaux Parish, for that matter!)

I've been following US elections for over 50 years and have missed two: 2000, when I predicted the reverse of what happened (Gore winning the EC while losing the PV), and 2016, which a lot of people missed.

At this point I simply don't know who's going to win this year, although I like to think it's a highly informed "don't know" rather than a copout. The race is too close and there's too much time left to predict it objectively with any degree of confidence.  As I've said before, if the election was held today I'd rate Trump as a slight favorite, although far from a certainty; it's certainly within the margin of error.  But there is plenty of time and opportunity for Biden to retake the lead. 

To use a football analogy I've used before, Biden is down a touchdown in the second quarter.  There's plenty of time and the opportunity is certainly there, but he can't just stand pat; he has to actually do the work needed to make up the deficit.

What was it like watching Reagan's landslide in 1984? Were you shocked by him winning almost every state considering it would never happen today or was it considered relatively expected and not a big event?

What's the sign that Trump gonna lose NC

Your words in God's ear, king.

Question for our resident lawyers: with the understanding that juries are unpredictable, what's your sense of the trial so far?  Would you rather be the prosecution or the defense at this point?

Georgia is the only state that was remotely close in 2020 where blacks make up a clear majority of Democratic voters. So it would take only a small change in the black vote to flip the state all else being equal. I would look for it most in somewhat integrated areas with a lot of young people.

Could this also make GA-02 in play?
