Yes - there are black republicans.

Yes - to the Proud boy founder but Hispanic is a very braid brush and nothing stopping them from being anti black racist.

The rest - so an African American who supports BLM becomes a member of a racist organisation because they dislike the BLM movement being supported by people who have an anti fascist viewpoint ( because the abuse of the black population is an example of fascism)

In posting there are lots of them your propagating  a myth - the racists would be proud of you.

I see fake "leftist" Glenn Greenwald has resigned from The Intercept because the editors refused to run the Tucker Carlson "the dog ate my homework" Russian disinformation campaign against Hunter Biden that not even Murdoch media would touch

I presume Greenwald is off to join Breitbart, maybe InfoWars

He'd fit in very well there, he's a f**king joke

Biden is 1.6 and Trump is at 2.3 in the betting market.

At the start of the year Trump was heavy favourite but Covid changed everything. He needed a vaccine available now to hold office imo.

Biden should win this ... just.

COVID is 1 of the last things why his ratings dropped. Some American states like Texas still believe 5G lampposts cause COVID and are re-opening the Cowboys Stadium for the big upcoming events - Tyson/Jones Jr / UFC in January.

The pivotal moment was the response to George Floyd and how he tried to crush any protest.

Trump can't win this legitimately, he can only "win" it by fraud

There's a clear pattern here - in three of the last five elections - 2000, 2004 and 2016 - the ones the Republicans "won", the news channels were all running on the narrative of a presumptive Democratic victory up to about 1 or 2am based on exit polling coming in, then it mysteriously started to change, very mysteriously, one could say

In each of those elections, there are good reasons to think that fraud played a part

If Trump is to "win", this is how it'll be done again, he'll be 6/1 or 7/1 at some point on the night, and then the fraud (Karl Rove is on board, beware) will do its job

Biden will win this election fairly comfortably imo, there were plenty of lessons learned by the Democrats after the high levels of complacency that set in towards the end of the ultimately failed Clinton campaign.

They took their eye completely off the ball and totally underestimated the threat of Trump, I'm not seeing this with Biden this time round.

Biden will open the doors for immigration so I'm praying he gets in.

Oh what a surprise, Greenwald is straight on to Tucker Carlson on Fox News

The Intercept have absolutely destroyed him in response

https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2020/10/29/glenn-greenwald-intercept-resigns/

In a lengthy note published on Substack, Greenwald said the publication refused to publish the piece, “in violation of my contractual right of editorial freedom,” unless he removed “all sections critical of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, the candidate vehemently supported by all New-York-based Intercept editors involved in this effort at suppression.”

The Intercept strongly countered those claims, with Editor in Chief Betsy Reed telling The Washington Post in email that “it is absolutely not true that Glenn Greenwald was asked to remove all sections critical of Joe Biden from his article. He was asked to support his claims and innuendo about corrupt actions by Joe Biden with evidence.”

LOL

Ouch LOL

https://theintercept.com/2020/10/29/glenn-greenwald-resigns-the-intercept/

GLENN GREENWALD’S DECISION to resign from The Intercept stems from a fundamental disagreement over the role of editors in the production of journalism and the nature of censorship. Glenn demands the absolute right to determine what he will publish. He believes that anyone who disagrees with him is corrupt, and anyone who presumes to edit his words is a censor. Thus, the preposterous charge that The Intercept’s editors and reporters, with the lone, noble exception of Glenn Greenwald, have betrayed our mission to engage in fearless investigative journalism because we have been seduced by the lure of a Joe Biden presidency. A brief glance at the stories The Intercept has published on Biden will suffice to refute those claims.

The narrative Glenn presents about his departure is teeming with distortions and inaccuracies — all of them designed to make him appear as a victim, rather than a grown person throwing a tantrum. It would take too long to point them all out here, but we intend to correct the record in time. For now, it is important to make clear that our goal in editing his work was to ensure that it would be accurate and fair. While he accuses us of political bias, it was he who was attempting to recycle the dubious claims of a political campaign — the Trump campaign — and launder them as journalism.

We have the greatest respect for the journalist Glenn Greenwald used to be, and we remain proud of much of the work we did with him over the past six years. It is Glenn who has strayed from his original journalistic roots, not The Intercept.

The defining feature of The Intercept’s work in recent years has been the investigative journalism that came out of painstaking work by our staffers in Washington, D.C., New York, and across the rest of the country. It is the staff of The Intercept that has been carrying out our investigative mission — a mission that has involved a collaborative editing process.

We have no doubt that Glenn will go on to launch a new media venture where he will face no collaboration with editors — such is the era of Substack and Patreon. In that context, it makes good business sense for Glenn to position himself as the last true guardian of investigative journalism and to smear his longtime colleagues and friends as partisan hacks. We get it. But facts are facts, and The Intercept’s record of fearless, rigorous, independent journalism speaks for itself.

Nobody will know till next week.
Both sides will claim it is good for them until evidence says otherwise.
