    yes, i may be terrible at betting but "popular vote winner wins electoral college" at 71 yes and 29 no looks extremely strong if you like trump's chance but think california and new york will never let trump win the popular vote.

    i don't think the economy is getting worse than it is now.

    this is a 50/50 race. i hope he loses but this is great value folks

    you put any more on it or still have what you originally did when you made this bet?

    i echo what blake said...if you want to bet trump this is the way to do it...id say his chance off winning the popular vote is maybe a couple of a percent and you are getting laid the rest that he actually wins this thing...

    Yeah but that’s still a more strict lockdown than Texas right now or that Texas ever had. I live in a state very similar to what California has done in terms of lockdown and I personally feel like I live in China. And there’s no signs of our governor letting loose his tyrannical grip.

    Also "they" part here was a handful of protestors starting a fire and the other thousand protestors didn't care nor had anything to do with it.

    There are far more sophisticated methods of propaganda than direct lies. I wouldn't call them "true". Re-framing, out of context, cherry picking, selective editing and so on can all be used to turn facts into lies. Right wing has a tendency to gobble all those up. In this case RT set the ball rolling and many a hot takes from right wing pundits did we have.
    They didn’t burn the Bibles they just used it as kindling. OK. “Officer, I didn’t steal that computer I was just doing research on Apple Store’s security.” Who do you think you’re fooling, anyone?

    There are now 1000’s of hours of livestream footage on the internet for anyone to draw their own conclusions about what’s going on and no amount of spin and lies can prevent people from seeing the truth. But don’t let that stop you from trying.

    Also love the “muh Russia” conspiracy stuff thrown in there for good measure. Really nice finishing touch.
    I'm sure you can elaborate how RT wasn't behind this. It's not much of conspiracy if it's a very simple fact to verify. My apologies if this is too much for you to piece together.





    The bit was sold as it was part of the protest. Milking the symbolism. As book burning was the thing they came to do.

    This obv was about that one single block in Portland. You know the one that's so hella important it needs minute by minute analysis and thousands of hot takes. Speaking of thousand. That one block doesn't even make it to top 1000 most dangerous blocks in the US right now or any time after the 80s.

    I see a video of protesters burning bibles in Portland, the site of 76 straight nights of Antifa/BLM riots. Are you trying to say it didn’t happen? You’re telling people not to believe direct video evidence of bible burning and flag burning while they cheer?

    This is a new level of attempted gaslighting.

    It's not just semantics.

    From wiki, "Book burning is the ritual destruction by fire of books or other written materials, usually carried out in a public context".

    The "ritual destruction" part is what makes a book burning a book burning. At least if you're looking to tie it to Nazi book burnings.

    you'll have better luck arguing a rock, this is gimmick's gimmick, he gets some sort of sick satisfaction out of droning on and on and never actually making a point. he gets corn rolled regularly and, like you said, continues to try and gaslight anyone with an above room temperature IQ

    Did an unscientific study of my black friends....not one posted about Kamala, not even the gay ones.

    Plenty of white libs did....but the super progressives seem blah on her....will it keep them home, probably not.

    Again two relative shit choices for president, what a country!

    Here would be the original video...



    ...a single bible. Can't really hear any cheering. It's like almost no one cared because that wasn't the thing they came to do.

    I'm sure you can find a video of more than 1 bible burning. If you can't, maybe just STFU.

    OK so now you’re admitting they did burn the Bible. We’re making progress.

    Why are you mad that right wing types are seizing on that? They’re not allowed to? Of course they are going to, welcome to the Real World. Are you that naive?

    Left wing terrorists actually burning Bibles is perfect fodder for the right as it should be. You’re just mad that is was actually reported on.

    A synopsis of the hot takes at the time...



    ...from the same account that mentioned a stack of bibles rioters brought that no one has a single photo of. No trace in any of videos from that night.

    There wasn't a stack bibles that rioters brought.

    On that night evangelicals brought their stack to hand copies for the heathens. It appears one the heathens wasn't appreciative of their efforts.

    Oh and our boots on the ground, that was re-tweeted by Cruz, Jr and oh so many others, is based in Malaysia.

    ok but do you actually think a guy burning a bible is newsworthy or are you saying it's just good politics to rev up the base?
