And AOC shitting on Obamacare, the week before the elections because "it didn't work out very well for her."
Well excuse me!!! How about the millions of people who were now able to get decent health care? Those who had our existing conditions for whom prior to the ACA healthcare was a nightmare.
Let's burn it all fucking down because it didn't work out very well for her. Jesus fucking Christ.

(Seriously, go look him up)
Melania Trump: “We are a country of hope, not a country of fear or weakness.”
This woman is married to a guy who is head of a political party that is literally afraid of EVERYTHING.
EVERYTHING.
And these people? Most especially they're afraid of appearing weak. Donald Trump is absolutely and utterly terrified of showing what he considers "weakness" in any fashion whatsoever. He goes to incredibly stupid lengths to deny any weakness of any kind.
THAT'S HIS PRIMARY WEAKNESS.
He is the Truck Nutz of Presidents.
The entire operating philosophy of the modern Republican party is fear. Fear is what drives them. Fear of immigrants, fear of change, fear of gay people getting married, fear of trans people using a bathroom, fear that a couple of lesbians might want to adopt a child, fear that children might get enough to eat, fear that woman might control their own bodies and lives, fear that students might learn something contrary to their religion, fear that their miserable capricious spiteful god will smite them for some random misdeed committed by others, fear of elitism, fear of people who worship different gods or none at all, fear that somebody somewhere undeserving might get the same civil rights they enjoy, fear that a black man might not knuckle under to authority with the proper deference and cringing respect, fear that sick people might get healthcare without having to pay, fear that rich people won't get richer and businesses won't make obscene profits, fear of wind turbines and solar panels, fear that we might actually make the world a better place for our children. They're afraid of socialism even though they couldn't possibly tell you what that even is. They're afraid of fascism, even though they are right now voting for it. They're afraid of communism, even though they openly refer to themselves unironically as the RED WAVE. They gulp steroids and Viagra by the handful and roll that coal in their giant trucks, dressed in surplus camo, clutching their guns, because they're utterly terrified some random stranger they don't know on the highway or the internet will think them unmanly and a sissy boy.
These people are afraid of EVERYTHING.
It's what defines them.
FEAR is who they are. Every day. In every moment.
And HOPE? Hope?
You've GOT to be fucking kidding me.
Hope. Don't make me laugh. All you have to do is look at their terrified outrage when Obama said THAT word to America.
HAY GUYZ
HK's main anti-CCP newspaper is named Apple Daily. The owner (Lai) supports the re-election of Trump. He employs a guy (Simon) who used to work for the US intelligence.
Simon used Lai's funds to fund a project accusing Hunter Biden of having PRC business ties. Lai denies that he knew that the employee had used such funds.

Of course, no such report on CNN, The Guardian, BBC etc.Lai said he was sorry that Apple Daily was implicated but maintained his innocence. “I know it is hard for anyone to believe that I didn’t know about it and my integrity is damaged,” he said.
Lai told his employees in a video clip that he would take responsibility for what Simon did even though he played no part in it, according to an Apple Daily report.
Simon, however, said he would take full responsibility.
“I never tell Jimmy what I’m up to. Don‘t people understand our lives? Of course, I didn’t tell him … I lost myself in the data and its accuracy and forgot about the distribution,” Simon said in a reply to the Post.
In a commentary last week, Lai, known for his unrelenting criticism of China, praised Trump for his tough stance on Beijing and said he found “a stronger sense of security in Trump” than Biden, who is leading the numbers in the latest polls.
Lai said on Twitter earlier this week that “some friends accused me [of] supporting Trump in [the] election and it is not right. I apologise”. But he said he stood by his view that “Trump’s dealing with China has been effective and it directly affects us here”.
Just FYI.

Citation needed. I feel like I'm basically extremely online and overdosing on news and I have no idea what you're talking about.Originally Posted by neanderthal
I think we're pretty much already in the boat here, at least for those sources, that the Biden smears are nonsense. Is there a specific reason you'd expect this to be covered when they're barely covering the nonsense the NY Post is spewing?
The thing is that I don't expect it to be covered by those sources. This is because it doesn't conveniently support the narrative of Billi's buddies, since it shows that they will also happily use dodgy means to smear, or protect, whoever or whatever they want, if they think it's in their own narrative/interests. This includes hyping up fake anti-Biden/pro-Trump stuff to, uh, affect the US elections.
Today was Election Day for the state of Queensland where I live.
The left-wing Labor party was returned to government for a third successive term with a fairly sizeable swing away from the right-wing Liberal Party.
Common sense has prevailed, and according to preliminary analysis one of the big reasons why voters went with Labor again is because of premier Annastacia Palaszczuk’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic and keeping our borders shut.
There were other factors too but they aren’t worth my time talking about.
(by the way it’s pronounced Pala-shay)
He's talking about the vanity fair interview that came out a few days ago, where to my recollection she said something illustrated with her personal experience along the lines of "We need to do better than obamacare, it's a step in the right direction, but it's a half-measure that's too hard to use and a lot of people fall through the cracks."
I suspect he's getting a bit antsy in these last few days because he's nervous about tuesday and assuming that any criticism of democrat accomplishments/politicians/the party itself will be read by someone as an excuse to not vote for Biden. Feel free to correct me if I'm not interpreting correctly, Mo.

I do think the Dems need to move farther left, but this wasn't the year to do it....goal 1 was to get rid of Trump and his allies, and the best way, sad as this sounds is with a very centrist old white guy that is palatable for conservatives who no longer align with Trump.
I don't think that's the reason why it isn't being covered here, but I suppose neither of us can prove what the reason is.
