2020 USA Democratic Presidential General Election
Mer replied to graham4anything's topic in World News
I’m a democrat thru and thru, but the NY Times live fact checking the RNC speeches but not the DNC speeches doesn’t send the message of “non-partisan journalism”... -
New Updates (24/08/20): New Zealand has extended lockdown in Aukland until Sunday, as they contain a large cluster of cases (about 50 community cases). President Trump called the new cluster of cases in NZ a "big breakout, that we wouldn't to happen here". Meanwhile, the US is on a downward trend, with 36,000 cases reported on August 24th (compared to the 50,000+ daily cases reported last week). Russia is pushing it's vaccine on it's population, with backlash from the global health community. Trump is considering fast-tracking the UK Oxford Vaccine for the American public ahead of the November election. Italy has also began testing it's vaccine candidate on volunteers. Public Health Authorities believe a global vaccine to end the pandemic will not be available before Autumn 2021, however rich countries in the West could have a vaccine as soon as this winter.

Jacob Blake has become the latest victim of police brutality, last night in Wisconsin. He was shot by police after "turning his back to the officers" who had pulled him over. He was unarmed. No news on why he was pulled over. He is in critical condition as of this morning. I will not post the video of the shooting, but it is being shared on many news websites.

2020 USA Democratic Presidential General Election

While all those things outlined above are amazing and I can only hope we have them in our country in the near future, this is not the election to write in a candidate. Too much is at stake, and while Biden may not be the perfect answer to many of our problems right now, he will at least set-up a future where such things are possible (as opposed to Trump, who may perhaps set humanity back as bad as the burning of the Library of Alexandria). Also, lets not get cocky about Biden's winning streak in the polls---Dukakis lead Bush by 17 points in the summer of 1988, but Bush ended up beating him in November 426-111 -
Update: The best part of all this is that Bannon admits on Qanon/Deep-state conspiracies, that "deep state conspiracy theory is for nut cases". Thank god. Hopefully those internet trolls spreading false information on trafficking can go away now.

So apparently after shutting down a biopic about her that has already been written, Madonna is writing her own screenplay with Oscar-Winning writer, Diablo Cody. She posted about it on both her Instagram stories and IGTV. Not much is known about the project, other than that she was describing her 90s tours to the writer.

Tbh I would’ve paid Bannon’s bail myself if I could’ve been a fish in the water when he was arrested on that yacht this morning lmaooooo. The look on his face must’ve been priceless
-
the biggest joke is that ppl think the guys who can pay a 5m dollar bail and party on a billionaire's yacht are the guys who "care about working class Americans" lmaooo

She’s working out so she has the stamina to single handedly carry the music industry on her back on Sept. 5th

Steve Bannon has been charged and arrested on charges relating to fraud; specifically that an online rally raising money for Trump's Border Wall was instead used for personal financial gain by Bannon and three others. Lmao I'm actually dead I thought this guy was suppose to be a "genius". On a related note, a judge has ordered Trump release his tax reports. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53853297

So was no one gonna tell me that “Betty” is from Jame’s perspective, “Cardigan” is from Betty’s perspective, and “August” is from the other girls perspective!!!

Yes! I've noticed, for me, there's a very significant drop in quality between the writing of her big singles and her album tracks (We Are Never Getting Back Together vs All To Well, e.g.)...will definitely dive into her deeper cuts!

The Lakes is out on streaming. Honestly I was never a Taylor fan before this album, but this album is truly a masterpiece in both writing and production. Truly the best album so far of 2020
