Some occasional opinions and such

@Tree0fLiberty76 @nanditab1 @KamalaHarris Everything a presidential candidate does is staged. You really think secret service would let them knock on a random door the day before an election?

[Braden @NerdBraden]

@richardzussman To me, this is an example of the system working. Close races going to a judicial recount to ensure any errors are remedied

[Braden @NerdBraden]

@esjesjesj They also can't seem to tell the difference between a PAC and a campaign

@datepsych And that doesn't even factor in seasonal uptick in work. That summer kitchen is going all day and late into the night canning, curing meats, making bologna, etc., going into the fall with apple pressing for canned sauce, etc.

@maxtmcc The dude eats a lot of McDonald's. 82 would be stretching it

@nanytrulz @harrisonlowman I'm pretty certain since the beginning of time, journalists and politicians have been meeting in restaurants and coffee shops. Seems like the logical place to meet - out in the public and not in the shadows.

@stephenfgordon Until the Americans knock on his door and say, "Hi Pierre, if the release of any of those names leads to our sources or our techniques being revealed, then we will stop sharing intelligence with you and you know how much you rely on us for it, so I'd think carefully".

@mert @paulg She has been in the public eye since becoming DA of SF in 2004, then Attorney general of the largest state, then a senator and now VP.

You may not yet know her character but many others that have seen her in the public eye over the last 20 years do.

@MickamiousG @BNONews One candidate will seek revenge of elected, the other won't. Billionaire owners like to hedge their bets.

@jpainefrommaine @BradMossEsq @JimVandeHei @AlexThomp With 9 days left, makes more sense to spread out

[Braden @NerdBraden]

@markusoff It literally always takes that long to do final counts, absentee ballots, etc.

We just don't pay attention because its not usually this close and those final votes to count wouldn't potentially change the outcome.

You'd think they'd be praising them for carefully counting

[Braden @NerdBraden]

@Bratt_world @VaughnPalmer Does Moscow pay you for the lies or do you just not know how elections work?

[Braden @NerdBraden]

@acoyne This just seems like an attempt to compete with Canada Proud, years after it has successfully pushed ads as a third party Tory surrogate

[Braden @NerdBraden]

@MichaelChongMP I think that could be said about both leaders in the house.

[Braden @NerdBraden]

@stphnmaher @acoyne PP: Well, why can't you tell me? You're the PM, you can declassify anything.

JT: because the uncomfortable truth is we get a lot of our info from the US and UK and if they found out that I was sharing this to someone without a security clearance they'll stop sharing

[Braden @NerdBraden]

@journo_dale I didn't know he was into that

[Braden @NerdBraden]

@CBCLorenda Your colleague at CBC London predicted this would happen https://t.co/OTo1CONuNs

@Acyn He is just so mad about crowd sizes, you can tell

[Sam Stein @samstein]

John Kelly goes on record with @JeffreyGoldberg to say Trump praised Hitler's generals

[Yoni Appelbaum @YAppelbaum]

Trump volunteered to pay for the funeral of a murdered U.S. soldier. When the bill came, Trump became angry. “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!” He turned to his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and issued an order: “Don’t pay it!”
