This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.
The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

2020 Election Commentary

Quote from: Ghostmaker;1146357
LOL. Richard 'He's TOTALLY a NAZI!' Spencer endorses the Dems. Of course.

Watching the 2016 campaign was fascinating in that the RNC spent inordinate amounts of resources to prop up Jeb! and later Marco Rubio, all for naught. You'd think they'd have gotten their shit together -- unless, of course, the point was to -lose- to Hillary.

It was.

Which is why so many prominent Rs declared themselves "never-Trump". He had the audacity to upset the plan and substitute his own.

One part of the Election that pundits follow pretty closely along with polls is the 'money race'.  After outraising Trump in June, Trump pulled in more money than Biden in July - $165 Million to (if memory serves, [edit to reflect correct total]$140 million). 


Trump has not yet released his August numbers, but Biden has raised $364Million+.  This shatters the prior record for fundraising from ANY candidate - Obama's $193 Million haul in September 2008. 


Trump has not yet released his August fundraising total.

Wonder how much of Biden's haul is going to bail out BLM/Antifa terrorists.

None.  But I suppose you could argue that some outside groups will feel that they don't have to pitch in to amplify Biden's message, so they'll be free to divert funds to other priorities, including paying cash bail for places that still have it.  I don't know that there is anything wrong with that.  In this country you're innocent until proven guilty, so being held in prison seems like a violation of our freedom. 


Here's an Article about Cash Bail Reform.

The nerve of you pointing this out! I mean, some of those people were merely getting bread for their families.
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

If you follow the money trail, most of the money raised by BLM goes to support democrat politicians being elected anyways.

And it's not like anyone got hurt, I mean, those businesses have insurance... /sarc.
Minneapolis is gonna look like Detroit in a year, barring some serious intervention.

Yeah, I know about ActBlue. Can't help but wonder if some of it's being funneled back to keep their magic riot machine rolling.


Speaking of Antifa terrorism, Michael Reinoehl, accused of murdering Aaron Danielson, was caught in Washington and decided to shoot it out with U.S. Marshals.


(cue up 'I Fought The Law And The Law Won')


So yeah, Reinoehl's now room temperature. Y'know, between the U.S. marshals recovering 50+ lost and trafficked children, and this, I'm starting to like those guys :)

It's about to get even better.  U.S. Marshals office can deputize state and local law enforcement to act under their authority.  Which means that when they make an arrest, it's under federal law. So much for the marxist trick of making sure to commit their crimes with a Soros-paid DA.
Rook to h8.  Your move, scum.

*digs in*


So you've got Noble Wray, who was hired by the Obama DOJ to head up a 'police accountability project'. Yeah, no bias there.


Janet Napolitano is a Democrat political wonk. Pfft.


Tom Manger's been running his mouth for a while, presumably trying to construct a political platform for bigger things. He's whined about Trump detaining illegal immigrants and stripping federal funds from cities blatantly flouting immigration law enforcement.


Yeah, somehow I don't feel any urgency here.

Comparing this to the thousands of men in blue that are die hard conservatives that 175 is laughable.

When Carmen Best publicly supports Joe Biden as the "Great White Hope" for the Presidency of the US, I'll pay attention. So far that list is a bunch of democrat political hacks.

Do you have a citation for that? The argument I've seen is that if you click on donate on BLM's website, it goes to ActBlue, and that means it's being funneled to Democratic politicians. But ActBlue is really just a service they use to process the money, it's not the recipient. Many involved with BLM will support Democratic politicians, and there will be indirect effects, but it doesn't seem like there's a direct flow of money.

Were any of the Yankees here around and old enough for the 1972 election?  I'm just wondering how living that compares to living the current DemoKKKrat freak out.  I can't imagine the media was that much different back then.
