"...if half the country has decided that Trump is qualified to be president, that means they're not reading [traditional] media, and we've lost this audience completely. A Trump victory means mainstream media is dead in its current form."

Trump's return to the presidency looks a lot like Andrew Jackson's:

Four years after a bitter defeat, Jackson took power. According to a historian, "His restructured party and control over appointments allowed him to act with what seemed near-total impunity." He defied courts, acted unilaterally and sent Native Americans on the genocidal Trail of Tears.

Here's some early perspective: buff.ly/3YTEZfb #News #BreakingNews #Election2024 #USpolitics


Trump’s comeback victory, after reshaping his party and national politics, looks a lot like Andrew Jackson’s in 1828

His return follows the trail of another American president who rebounded from defeat to victory and then four years of unchecked power.

“As Maine goes, so goes the nation.” So proud of my home state for a ballot question seeking to limit the kind of massive corporate spending that has plagued this election cycle, and all elections since Citizens United.

Mainers: Vote yes on 1, fight to end billionaire influence on politics!

#USpolitics #USpol #CitizensUnited #Maine

While political parties have tried to set themselves apart from one another this election cycle, leaders across the political spectrum in Maine have found a common interest in one of the state’s ballot initiatives, which ultimately seeks to get dark money out of politics nationwide by teeing up a U.S. Supreme Court ruling. Question 1 on the Nov. 5 ballot, which aims to place limits on donations to political action committees that independently spend money to try to support or defeat candidates, has been endorsed by 128 civic and business leaders in Maine, ballot question committee Maine Citizens to End Super PACs announced Monday. The initiative stems from legal scholar Lawrence Lessig, who told Maine Morning Star that there has also been growing excitement in democracy reform circles across the U.S about the effort in Maine. Among the endorsers are Maine’s Democratic U.S. Reps. Chellie Pingree and Jared Golden, who are both running for reelection and have previously supported other campaign finance reform efforts in Congress. “Corporations and the ultrarich have drowned out the voice of the American people, spending billions of dollars to elect candidates who would further line the pockets of big business,” Pingree wrote in a statement to Maine Morning Star. “The power should be in the hands of everyday voters, not corporations. The ‘Yes on 1’ campaign to end Super PACs

“They’re up to mischief it seems,” he added, about the Russians. “They don’t want us to have a smooth, fair and accurate election.”

Coinbase has been promoting a new $25 million contribution to the Fairshake crypto-focused super PAC, which, like their May contribution of the same amount, appears to be in violation of campaign finance laws prohibiting contributions by federal contractors.

However, when I noted this earlier this week, I was met with a threat from Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal, who tweeted that continuing to report on Coinbase would be “.... unwise”.

#crypto #cryptocurrency #USpolitics #Coinbase

Tweet by paulgrewal.eth on October 30, 2024 @iampaulgrewal Once again, with feeling. Repeating misrepresentations of facts after previously being put on notice is …. unwise. Quoted tweet by Molly White @molly0xFFF As an active federal contractor, Coinbase is prohibited from making political contributions, including to super PACs. This makes $50 million that they have contributed in violation of pay-to-play laws for contractors.
Despite being the subject of our complaint with the FEC pertaining to their $25 million contribution to Fairshake in May, which was also within the prohibited time period, Coinbase has brazenly doubled this amount with a second contribution. While they’ve not (at least that I’ve seen) argued that they were unaware of this campaign finance prohibition, which would already be unlikely given clear warnings on Fairshake’s website that contributions by federal contractors are prohibited, this newest contribution seems to definitively remove that potential line of argument for them. Instead, Coinbase’s only rebuttal to our complainta has been to claim that, despite that pesky federal contract of theirs, they somehow aren’t a federal contractor due to a detail in how the contract is funded. Because the contract is being paid out of the pool of seized cryptocurrencies and other assets known as the Department of Justice Asset Forfeiture Fund, they’ve argued they do not fall within the definition of “federal contractor”16 used by the FEC because they are not paid with “funds appropriated by the Congress” — an argument that lawyers at Public Citizen have plainly described as “incorrect”, and one that we rebutted on August 5 in our supplemental filing (citations omitted here): As the Supreme Court has recently explained, “an appropriation is simply a law that authorizes expenditures from a specified source of public money for designated purposes.” Under this definition, Congress’s ena
Coinbase’s only communications with me since the FEC complaint have been public, made via a handful of tweets171819 from Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal. In them, he outlined this argument while also insinuating that I am intentionally spreading “misinformation” on behalf of my shadowy backers. While Grewal has come up with this rather creative legal theory under which he argues Coinbase’s contributions were not prohibited, he has not identified any factual errors in my reporting. As far as I’m aware, neither he nor anyone else from Coinbase have commented on our position since we made the supplemental filing on August 5, except to repeat the claim in a tweet19 (without adding any further support for it) that the funds with which they’re being paid are not Congressionally appropriated. Despite that, Grewal retweeted my recent post highlighting Coinbase’s newest contribution and its apparent violation of this prohibition with a threat, writing: “Once again, with feeling. Repeating misrepresentations of facts after previously being put on noticec is …. unwise.” And for the record, Grewal is not some total hack with no legal background, but is in fact an ex-magistrate judge who has somehow now found himself reduced to issuing impotent threats on Twitter for Coinbase. (I assume the position pays pretty well, but I can’t imagine any salary at which I would be willing to post with a straight face that it would be “.... unwise” for a writer to continue to report on my company).

Elsewhere, Coinbase’s astroturfed “Stand With Crypto” lobbying group threw a Black Keys concert to benefit Bernie Moreno (R-OH). Perhaps because so few people showed up, half the audience were left watching the backs of the performers. “Weirdest gig we’ve ever played”, said the band.

#crypto #cryptocurrency #USpolitics #USpol #Coinbase

Despite leaving Bernie Moreno off their endorsements list, Stand With Crypto threw a private benefit concert in Akron, Ohio that was nonetheless free to attend for anyone willing to fork over their contact information and download the Coinbase app. Headlining the show was the formerly popular band The Black Keys, self-described “pretty liberal motherfuckers” who once made fun of “right-clicking” NFTs, who have now found themselves playing a show to benefit a staunchly conservative candidate whose election could turn the Senate over to a Republican majority.21 Likely, they chose to take this gig for the paycheck despite all that after they were forced to cancel every concert on their planned tour this summer due to poor ticket sales. The Black Keys themselves, from the stage, referred to the event as the “weirdest gig we’ve ever played” — perhaps referring to the fact that their staging was set up backwards, with the band facing around 250 attendees standing with them on the stage, but leaving the large orchestra seating area empty and the roughly 250 people in the balcony area left to stare at scaffolding for the lights, and the performers’ backs. This bizarre choice was likely related to the fact that only around 500 people bothered to show up for a free concert in a venue that seats five times as many people. After more than thirty minutes of opening remarks extolling the virtues of crypto, during which one attendee joked they’d been tricked into attending a time-share

The historically most accurate pollster in the United States is Ann Selzer. She only does polls in one state - Iowa, typically a very Republican state. For the last two elections her polls were outliers that turned out to be correct, showing that Trump's support was far stronger than expected in 2016 and Biden wasn't going to run away with it in 2020.

She just put out her final poll of the election showing Kamala Harris up by 3 points... in Iowa.
