I am not sure where to put this but will put this here.

I have been doing government contracting work for about 9 years now and I'm in a pretty good spot. I have worked on stuff that has been a direct result of EO's being signed.

The past year I have really contemplated switching career paths because I don't want to be affiliated with the current administration due to Trump. The pay and work/life balance is fantastic though and I truly enjoy what I do.

I was talking to my neighbor down the street 2 days ago who is in the Navy and does work with Walter Reed about the same thing, and he told me he has been feeling the same way. He also said this is a VERY common feeling in there and that many people are feeling this way.

Just thought I'd leave that here.

between that sentiment and all of the scientists who have been pushed out of the federal government, it will be extremely difficult to replace them anytime soon. we are experiencing a serious brain drain on the federal level due to this administration.

Yeah and I already know a few people who rolled out. A lot had to do with covid though and just not being able to support telework initially, but now thankfully they have that covered.

And not to toot my own horn, but I have govies fighting over my time right now so they sure as shit don't want me to bounce out. And if anything, covid is going to allow for a lot more remote opportunities to pop up.

Because Biden wasn't stupid or careless enough to catch COVID19

Team Trump tries new spin: Biden lacks 'firsthand experience' with COVID-19

Yeah, that will get out the vote. :rolleyes:

Maybe he can explain that you too, when sick with COVID19, can get two of your family members to
give you a joyride around town while still infectious.

Florida Online Voter Registration Site Broken, Just Hours Before Deadline to Register

The website's non-functioning is especially important considering Florida's role as an influential battleground swing state in presidential elections.

This is standard for Florida. They had a debacle with the unemployment site when the pandemic first started. Now this. They are experts at things like this. Couple this with their desire to suppress vote and you have a great excuse for denying folks who registered yesterday their ability to vote in this election.

No, Proud Boys will be poll watchers. There is so much “thievery” on Election Day. It is cornucopia of illegal activity. It’s the only way Republicans ever lose.

CNN poll has Biden up by 16. While probably an outlier poll, the more interesting part is it shows only 1% undecided, and only 9% decided but persuadable, with over half the persuadable currently saying they favor Trump.

www.cnn.com

Analysis: Donald Trump is losing by 16 in a new CNN poll. And that's not the worst news.

With less than a month before the November election, President Donald Trump has hit a new low: He now trails former Vice President Joe Biden by his largest margin (16 points) of any CNN poll conducted in this entire election.
www.cnn.com www.cnn.com

It's going to take a monster October surprise to alter the current trajectory of this election.

I don't know that it's an outlier. Another had Biden up 14 the other day and I was looking at yet another today that had Biden up by 10 but said he was up 14% with everyone surveyed after Trump was hospitalized.

And sadly, they just need to be successful in their supression efforts and so far they are doing very well that way.

Overall polling had Biden up by 8.8 nationally, so I have to assume those polls showing a margin wider than 10 are outliers. Still, 8.8 nationally is back to where it was in July, except it isn't July anymore. The election is 27 days away.

The non-existent undecideds and small fraction of persuadables is also not good for Trump.

I don't think their suppression effort will be enough. It's going to take historic polling error for Trump to be the winner here.

What's going on is that, last I heard, they were low on money. Evidently they intend to do something else with the limited funds they have.

While Trump and the GOP are conceding airwaves in swing states. The Dems are expanding further into swing states and are expanding beyond for both the Presidency and Senate. Some deep red Senate seats are officially in play and they are finally going in on Texas. The Dems are rapidly expanding the map and trying to go for the kill while the GOP are shrinking. The GOP panic is palpable in the down ballot races in seats that were considered safe two months ago.

Trump and the GOP probably shouldn’t have grifted through that first billion.

Fox has been bitching about why the Durham report hasn't come out yet, they believe that will turn the tide.

Thankfully FL extended registration shockingly due to the outage. Meanwhile in Texas, more than 4.7 million people in the county, ONE drop box.

I doubt it. People's minds are very set right now. A partisan report making false allegations against Biden isn't going to affect much of anything because no one outside Trump's base will put any credence in it.

It would take a real October surprise, not a fake one, to turn this around.
