People really show you who they are at moments like this.

Biden called them white supremacist and refused to condemn antifa - they’re an idea, but not a group! Apparently white supremacy isn’t an idea, it’s a group though.

Stayed up to watch it over here and I didn't think Biden was that bad - not sure if that's because I'm ideologically more likely to agree with him. He provided more detail on policy that Trump (although still not much because the debate didn't seem to allow for that) and sounded fine to me, plus no gaffes. . I was also floored by the 1 in 1000 African Americans have died from Covid stat, like that's fucked. Also seemed like on that last question of interference Biden actually handled it really well, although it's a stupid AF question for a debate.
Trump's interrupting was what I remembered the most from it though. It killed the debate but in a way that I feel just made him look really bad. Unedifying and a disgrace to be honest.
Question for all Americans here: Does Trump's interupting and blatant dodging of the questions play well over there beyond his base? I kept thinking throughout that it's the kind of thing that would turn off other voters, especially undecided women.
Biden flat out refused to answer when asked if he’d support removing the filibuster and pack the court. Trump’s interruptions were over the top, but Biden avoided answering in detail just as much.
These debates actually caused me to have a panic attack. The chaos and disorder were like 90 minutes of nails on a chalkboard to me. So fucking bad. This is what America has become.

Does anyone think the sword of Dawn is lightbringer? If Euron really has Valyrian steel armor that kind of negates Long Claw. Martin has said dawn is the most powerful sword in the series.
The more I read about the Dayne's the more interested I am. It's pretty clear Ned was in love with Ashara, they may have even had a daughter together, but she flings herself out a window when he returns dawn after killing her brother.... But he continues staying in Starfall after all the tragedy he brought down on their house...And the Dayne's seem to be cool with it, even naming a kid after Ned.
Yes, Dawn is clearly light bringer. Their names are synonymous. Dayne’s are also of proto-Valyrians so who knows what magic they have.
There’s a theory I don’t accept, but it’s based on the idea Ashara Dayne is Quaithe, and or Jon is Ned and Azhara’s baby.
You should check out Preston Jacob’s on YouTube if you haven’t come across his theories already.

Randall Flagg wrote:Taylor wasn't murdered. She was killed when her boyfriend shot a fucking cop who was serving a legal warrant. 100/100 times if cops are shot while serving a warrant, they're going to fire back.
Dude, she was shot and died. Maybe wasn't intentional but it's still murder.
All I was advocating for was that people aren't killed and are instead arrested and tried. Many cops in America seem incapable of doing their job without shooting. That's a problem.
Murder is a legal term. It implies a premediated and illegal taking of someone's life. If your 2 year old darts out in traffic and gets killed, he wasn't murdered. If your boyfriend ignores answering the door because he thinks it's your drug dealer ex-boyfriend, the blindly shoots a cop in the femoral artery, and you get shot when the police return fire, you weren't murdered.

Is this how it works?
1) black person killed by police.
2) rush to google and look up criminal record
3) breath sigh of relief
4) use any type of criminal history no matter how small or big to justify shoot to kill
Luckily we have a system that virtually ensures a poor person almost always has some sort of criminal record.
you're absolutely right mitch. Our system made these men rape women and rob pregnant women at gun point. It made Blake come back to his victim, it made Blake fight with police, and it made Blake go for a knife when a cop had a fucking gun to his back. I never saw it before, but you've opened my eyes.

The first 15 minutes of Tucker Carlson last night was spot on. Maybe I should apply to be his new writer.

I think I'm too dialed into politics. I had a sex dream about Amy Coney Barrett. She was very aggressive.
This is where SG now comes in with his Melania fantasies.

Hadn't heard of this yet. Sadly this isn't anything new. 28 million ballots are unaccounted for between 2012 and 2018:

Dr Fauci has said there is no reason not to vote in person this November. I absolutely will be at the polls in person.
This is why we need election reform in this country and need to have better validation and protection. We're the only western nation that doesn't require any kind of ID to vote, and now we've removed signature validation in almost every battleground state. I don't know who these people are that don't have a State ID since you can't even open a bank account without one. Shit like this will continue to happen until we join the 21st century.
