Bloomberg running for president.

So with mustard, onions, and the stupid idea that bagels and pretzels actually taste good?

You got a problem with bagels?

[Irving]

Other than the taste and that they cost above zero dollars, nope.

I feel the same about potatoes though (but strangely not about rice or beans).

What people fail to remember with the clinton/trump spending is that the media gave trump about 6000% of the coverage of all the other GOP candidates --- free. Sometimes any attention is "good", especially when free. He got far, far far more name dropping and face-time than Clinton, regardless of dollars actually spent.

The Russian troll farms are working to harm Biden at the moment (considered a moderate) - but not for Trumps benefit. With Bloomies controversial stances, you can bet they'll be pushing for a Trump/Bloomberg ticket. That's a lot of social media "coverage", and warping D sheep into supporting him. He's already gained significantly in the polls in just a week or so, and knocked Harris out. One thing stands in the way right now - Biden.... look for even heavier efforts to destroy him politically in the coming weeks from various sources. Russia salivates at the prospects... no matter which way the election went, conservatives would be neigh on revolting over Bloom's 2A attacks, while a lot of liberals would be rabid over a 2 term. Win/Win.

He might not be able to "buy" the election per se, but buying the nomination isn't that hard when you also have the "pat" on the back from every hostile foreign nation out there. He's not gaming for your vote, he's gaming for the dem vote, and they aren't going to distrust what they see on facebook.

The media can't not talk about Trump.

New jobs report out today. Crushed the analyst expectations. Unemployment rate falls to 3.5%.

The report also included upward revisions to both September and October's numbers. Average 3-month job growth was 205,000. The markets are responding accordingly.

LOL. The Russians don't have to do jack to undermine Biden. Given his obvious health issues and the fact that he keeps saying and doing tremendously weird things on the campaign trail, Biden's doing a better job of hurting his own campaign than the Russians could ever hope to do with another ham-fisted attempt at a clandestine social media campaign.

On top of that, even if Biden weren't mentally and physically disintegrating before our very eyes, he never would have had much of a chance anyway as the only demographic who has any enthusiasm for him would be aging white boomers.

[Irving]

Biden's continued campaign reminds me of my mother-in-law's insistence that she should still be able to drive so as to not burden the family; despite several incidents that have actually put a burden on the family.

Biden has gaffes left and right, and yes, does plenty of self harm. Then again, so does Bloomberg....maybe not as often (who knows...) but we're not going to be hearing much about those at all.

What people often fail to realize, is much of the interference isn't "fake news", it's merely subtlety directing people what to pay attention to. The troll farms selectively push and republish certain content (even things like the above videos) while they push positive content for "their guy", coupled with strategies to reach their targeted group (democrats, right now). Subtle influences end up having cascading/avalanche effects the more they do it - they start the focus, and their follows share and retweet and it cascades. When it comes right down to it - with enough focus - any of us would look like jack-wagon imbeciles too. The stupid shit we say, stumbles we take, and mistakes of speech we make are ignored.

Selectively focus attention on anything and the social-media American's will run with it like a boulder in an Indiana Jones movie.

If people discount the sheer power of this machine, take a moment to consider that the American belief of "Nuclear Winter" is a farce started entirely by a single, small russian op to plant the idea into a single american publication; prior to the internet really being a thing. That was hard. Yup, if you're not aware, "Nuclear Winter" isn't a real thing. Ruskies wanted America to think the world would end as we know it.

Now their minimum wage jockies can do that shit left and right.

Did you remember to check under your bed for Russians?
