Yeah there’s basically 0 chance Biden wins now.

We're still a bit too early to say that, aren't we?

What do you mean? The election is only like a year and a half away.

Master Trump finally pushing back against garbage Chiense junk on Amazon

Quote
    We have contracted negotiated international rates for epacket. We’re based in Las Vegas.

    Got notification today that all USPS international GEPS contracts will be terminated September 31st.

    This is all related to the Universal Postal Union agreement that allows Chinese sellers to ship products to the U.S. for less than it costs us to ship to the same state.

    The administration has given the UPU an ultimatum, that they: either allow the USPS to set rates for China mail that arrives in the U.S., or the U.S. will officially leave the UPU on October 17th.

    Either way, this means as of October 17, no more cheap Chinese shipping. They will have to pay the same domestic rates as us once their e-packets arrive here.

    This is great news for U.S. sellers, especially eBay sellers.

    Bad news for Wish com, Chinese e-commerce sellers, Ali-express, etc.

I read somewhere that support for Biden in the under 50 demographic is 6% and I'm now looking for the source cause lmao if true.
It's a group that he constantly trashes on. Of course not a lot will support him in response.

Everything about it is actually terrible.

The lyrics are bad, the beat is bad, the recording quality is bad, they’re both off beat and it doesn’t even feature CJ Pearson.

Sen. Bernie Sanders was in town for the Democratic National Committee's summer meeting and dined out with staff at San Francisco's iconic John's Grill on Thursday, according to Politico.

The presidential hopeful didn't impress the owner of the 111-year-old restaurant, John Konstin.

"It was all very nice, except for cranky Bernie," Konstin told Politico.

Konstin told SFGATE the U.S. senator from Vermont declined to shake hands and take photos and "was rude" to staff.

"He was just rude, not friendly," Konstin said. "I think he was just hungry and didn't want to be a politician. He lost my vote."
Quote
Lee Houskeeper, the media contact for John's Grill, said it's uncharacteristic for Konstin to say anything negative about his patrons.

"Bernie had to be in a terrible mood," Houskeeper said. "Anyone in the public eye needs to understand when it's time to order room service."

He added Sanders left a tip and his wife apologized as the group was leaving the restaurant.
Quote
Sanders' rival Sen. Elizabeth Warren also recently dined out in the city, visiting in June for the 2019 California Democrat Convention.

Warren, the U.S. senator from Massachusetts, brought her staff to Ayala in Union Square's Hotel G.

"She was absolutely wonderful and came into our kitchen," Ayala General Manager Alexandra Loulias said. "So complimentary of our staff. She took individual photos with everyone. Just the nicest lady."

Rep. Stephen Lynch, who opposes impeachment because he fears it will help Trump, faced a hostile crowd of around 200 advocates, activists and constituents who shouted him down as he delivered impassioned rejections of their calls for impeachment.

Lynch, who has served in the House for nearly two decades, faces a different predicament than his fellow moderates in swing districts. The Massachusetts Democrat doesn't fear Republican opponents; he has progressive primary challengers as his already-blue Boston suburbs district is being yanked to the left.

“You are going to give Donald Trump another four years by doing that. You are helping him. You are helping him get another four years,” Lynch fired back at his constituents, raising his voice as the restive audience shouted at him. “I want Donald Trump removed from office and you’re going to give him another four years. That’s what I know. That’s what I know in my heart.”

Sounds like Lynch is sweating the pushback from Brianna Wu.   :doge

Most of the article talks about how Dems in purple districts (mostly in California) are actually for impeachment because their districts are increasingly turning bluer and that their constituents are better readers of the Mueller Report than their congressperson.

But the internet-wide campaign to ridicule Stephens is as repellent and wrong as it is routine in our age of online mobs.

...

The Nazi Holocaust deeply scarred his Jewish forebears in Europe; it shattered them. I remember him telling me once about how in a single day, the Nazis, in cahoots with Lithuanian locals, massacred 10,000 Jewish men, women and children in his mother’s ancestral town. So I can see why the prof’s likely innocent analogization to bedbugs got under Stephens’ skin in a way that others may not understand.

To understand everything is to forgive everything. I can understand how someone who enjoys a massive media platform might, in a moment of emotional weakness or volatility, lash out at someone who is objectively “weaker” than he — to punch down, as it were. I can understand that, because I’ve done that. And Stephens has often been the one to gently call me out for it and urge me to do better.

Bret Stephens is more than one silly email. And if you are tempted to join the pile-on, don’t. It won’t do you any good, and it might even do your soul some harm.

“ARE WE REALLY GOING TO HAVE A GAFFE-FEST OVER JOE BIDEN?”: HOW CLICKBAIT AND OUTRAGE PORN ARE HURTING READERS—AND ELEVATING TRUMP
Quote
Less attention was paid to another Times headline that revealed much more about the shaky state of political journalism in the digital age, and its failure to ditch the tiresome habits that helped give rise to Trump in the first place. The headline—“Joe Biden Asks Audience to Imagine Obama’s Assassination”—posted on a summer Friday, August 23, late in the afternoon. Biden, speaking in New Hampshire, had been rambling through one of his usual monologues, this one about how America emerged from the dark trauma of the ’60s to find itself again. Like the grandpa he is, Biden sees younger faces in his crowds and often tries to draw historical parallels to our current moment. Touching on the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, Biden invoked Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign. “Imagine what would have happened if, God forbid, Barack Obama had been assassinated after becoming the de facto nominee. What would have happened in America?” Biden said in two sentences, before moving on to other things.

Biden—literally, folks—asked the audience to imagine Obama’s assassination. But was this news? For the reporters at the event, Biden’s remark was at least new, which is certainly one definition of news. But were Biden’s off-the-cuff remarks worthy of the avalanche of sinister-sounding headlines that followed, rapidly pushed out on social media with attention-grabbing tweets and murky implications? The Times posted its story at 7:01 p.m. on Twitter, and the floodgates opened. In the next two hours, Fox News, the Hill, the Washington Post, HuffPost, AP, Politico, USA Today, CNN, and other newsrooms all followed the lead of the Times—as they always have—by posting their own versions of the Biden story, primed for Twitter. None of them cited an interview with an actual voter. The Times headline was barely distinguishable from those of the Daily Caller (“Biden Asks Crowd To Imagine If Barack Obama Had Been Assassinated”) and Sputnik (“Biden Asks Voters at His Rally to Imagine if Obama Had Been Assassinated”), which are very much not the newspapers of record.

...

As to the news value of the comments themselves, the Times could only bring itself to call them an “unusual rhetorical detour.” But with Biden, of course, unusual rhetorical detours are the norm. Other reports that followed revealed more clearly what was going on here. “Biden has long been prone to gaffes and misspeaking, another aspect of his candidacy that has come under scrutiny during his latest presidential run,” wrote the Associated Press. And there it was: This was a gaffe story, and Biden is the gaffe candidate. Never mind that he’s been making gaffes his whole political career, that it’s baked into his political identity. His verbal flubs might even be one of his most endearing strengths for voters who crave authenticity. But these gaffes have now apparently “come under scrutiny,” which really just means his gaffes are being chronicled by reporters who go into his every event hunting for the latest gaffe.

...

Carl Cameron, the former chief political correspondent for Fox News who resigned from the network after Trump’s election, said reporters “have to be careful not to trivialize” the race. “The idea that Joe Biden has loose lips is as old as Biden himself,” Cameron said. “The problem for the press is that Trump says so much more stuff, all the time, and the ratio is just beyond description. He makes what we used to cover as gaffes look meaningless. So are we really going to have a gaffe-fest over Joe Biden?”

It seems as though we already are. In recent weeks Biden confused Vermont with New Hampshire, tripped over his campaign’s text message number on a debate stage, and blurted out that “poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.” Biden confuses facts and dates, he exaggerates, he rambles. Coverage of these moments, cheered on by his Democratic opponents, usually hints at Biden’s age and fitness for office, reasonable concerns. But those worries don’t surface too frequently in conversations with Democrats who come to his events, and when they do, voters are often willing to put them aside because they say defeating Trump is too important. Instead, the gaffe narrative flows from rival campaigns, journalists, and pundits who determine the framing. That’s precisely what happened in New Hampshire. Biden’s comment became a controversy simply because a few reporters said it was.

...

Political reporters usually reward new faces and punish old ones, a dynamic you can sense in the coverage of Elizabeth Warren’s rise against the front-runner Biden. And Biden—boy, does he give good gaffe. His mistakes happen often enough to satisfy the feed-the-beast demands of reporters on the campaign trail. The gaffes fulfill a simple narrative about Biden’s age and fitness that makes the stories easy to write and easy to tweet.

...

Today, if Biden offered a plan for Middle East peace during a town hall in New Hampshire, but made a gaffe in the process, which moment would get more play that night on Twitter, in headlines, and on cable news? You know the answer, and it’s not going to change before November 2020. Newsrooms can try their best to recalibrate before then, but Biden’s gaffes will always have a welcome home on social media, where the stories that perform best are the ones that validate existing narratives, especially on the left. Biden might be leading the Democratic polls, but his reputation as an old, moderate, white guy doesn’t play well on Twitter, which skews younger and more liberal than the country as a whole. Every one of his missteps is perfect chum for reporters and the progressive activists who retweet them. “Instead of analyzing the events of the day in a unique context, newsrooms are bringing a preset narrative into the Biden campaign, so that every story becomes, ‘There he goes again, this is part of a pattern,’” LaBolt said.


...

That silly headline—“Joe Biden Asks Audience to Imagine Obama’s Assassination”—is also about more than Biden. It’s about serious newsrooms behaving unseriously, publishing clickbait and bad faith headlines that tarnish their credibility at a time when it’s needed most. The public discourse is too clogged with phony sanctimony and performed outrage—how’s that SoulCycle boycott going?—for news organizations to abandon their role as gatekeepers of logic, reason, and context. Maybe it’s quaint to hope, but newsrooms today might consider being more deliberate about what they choose to call a scandal or controversy or a gaffe, instead of playing to the internet crowd with clickbait and outrage porn. Editors must have the confidence to look at a story like Biden’s assassination riff and say, No, that’s not news, not anymore. And if they do choose to cover it, they should present it in its fullest scope, placing it in the context of Biden’s previous remarks and the reactions of voters, instead of just highlighting a single quote, primed for virality. That’s what reporters and editors were taught to do in the Obama era, when things felt a little more placid, when gaffes were just a fun part of the political game, and when SEO optimization and Facebook algorithms steered decision-making in newsrooms. That time feels distant.

Elizabeth Warren could lead the Department of Education and it would transform our nation for generations. Bernie Sanders playing the role, as Secretary of Health and Human Services would ensure every person in America could access health care we could afford.

In any administration, Julian Castro’s experience as a cabinet secretary and Congressman would be the perfect antidote to the Trump regime’s border policy as the first Latinx Homeland Security Secretary.

But it needn’t stop there. New voices like Andrew Yang, as the head of the Council of Economic Advisors would bring business acumen and the idea of basic income to the president’s ear.

Pete Buttigieg applying his lived experience as an LGBTQ service member and executive expertise as a mayor to bear as the secretary of Veteran’s Affairs would be transformative to our nation’s heroes.

Beto O’Rourke as chief of staff to the president would guide the nation’s most important decisions with compassion and ease. Kirsten Gillibrand as Commerce secretary. Amy Klobuchar as Agriculture secretary. Former candidate Jay Inslee bringing environmental issues to the level they deserve as the helm of the Department of Energy. Strong union supporter Tim Ryan as Secretary of Labor. Treasury Secretary Delaney. Recently withdrawn Congressman and Veteran Seth Moulton as Secretary of Defense. Bullock at FEC. Bennet at Interior.

And how could Michelle Obama say no to the critical role of Secretary of State if this unified group asked her to serve? Our reputation and luster around the globe would be instantly restored.

Strong union supporter Tim Ryan as Secretary of Labor. Treasury Secretary Delaney. Recently withdrawn Congressman and Veteran Seth Moulton as Secretary of Defense. Bullock at FEC. Bennet at Interior.

And how could Michelle Obama say no to the critical role of Secretary of State if this unified group asked her to serve? Our reputation and luster around the globe would be instantly restored.
Nintex BTFO by Alyssa Milano's fan fic

That's amateur hour. now THIS is fan fiction.

"The President is ready for you Mr. President. Please keep your meeting short. Preferably 5 minutes."

"Thank you... hi Joe"

"Donald? I didn't expect to see you on my first day in office. But I must say I'm glad that we can meet like this. The campaign was rough but 45 and 46 together that should heal the nation. And justice Kavanaugh too, what a lovely surprise"

"I agree Joe. Listen, I didn't mean for all this to happen you know. The violence, the riots, the curfew, the martial law, locking up Hillary Clinton... everything. But sometimes I just get carried away by these rallies. I told my good friend Brett that we should clear the air"

"Donald, I understand your intentions were sincere to make this a better country but your methods were flawed. You've shown us all that we can and should do better. Thank you for your letter, I will take your advice on how to deal with North Korea to heart."

"You're welcome Joe. Say Joe, I have this one tiny request. Can I please sit in the chair one last time, just you know for old times sake"

"Sure Donald, you know, Presidents never really stop being President you even keep the title I'm told."

"Oh look Joe, there's a document here. I think you still need to sign this and Brett can be the witness haha"

"Oh jeez I must've forgotten. I forget things these days... It's kinda embarrassing. Sometimes I even forget the room I'm in."

"I hear you buddy, Ivanka helped me out with that. Your children are everything you know"

"There, I signed it. Kamala told me 'Joe just sign whatever we send into your office and it'll be fine' so here we are. There'll be hell to pay if I don't sign things"

"Good, good Joe."

"Say, why are in my chair again? That is my chair right?"
