So the exact same slogan, complete with hammer and sickle, appears on a GOP candidate's garage, then a day later on the Houston Democrats' office? Getting serious "BLACKS RULE" vibes here.
Folks in the comments ask if it's Red Guards, a "revolutionary" group that's trying to overthrow the government by being obnoxious and doing crimes. statesman.com/news/20200113/…
A similar tag appeared on a Pittsburgh Democrat's office pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2020/11/02/doy…
And at the office of the incumbent that the aforementioned R is running against!

The election day dead zone question: Try to pass out for an hour or so, or try to beat Orphan of Kos?

(This account will mostly be about gaming and annoying music after Wednesday.)
I got OoK down to like 10% health on my last try and stupidly got caught in one of those steamroller attacks he does. May save that SOB for after the election.
Final tasks I want to complete before beating game: Beat that guy and find the Beast Claw. I went in expecting to get frustrated and quit but I am a total From Software simp now.

Cotton mentions Biden calling Russia our greatest adversary and how Obama dismissed Romney when he said same.

“He said, the 80s called, and they want their foreign policy back. I guess the 80s called and they want their Democratic presidential candidate back.”
Cotton didn’t mention Hunter Biden, but one of the questions to former gov/ambassador to China Branstad is about it. Branstad says he doesn’t know the details, criticizes media outlets for suppressing allegations when they didn’t do that with Trump allegations.
Interesting moment when Branstad - ambassador to China for three years - hands the mic to Cotton to break down the intellectual property theft issue, which he does as a lot of heads nod

I’m at a Don Jr rally in Cedar Rapids where Sonny Perdue is warming the crowd up by telling how the polls were wrong in his 2002 gov race.

“I’ve been in Iowa for a few days, and lemme tell ya, Biden is runnin’ third behind Trump and ‘for sale’ signs.”
Perdue says “all you have to do is read the platforms” to know the choice in 2020. (There is no Republican platform.)
Don Jr takes the stage to “Stranglehold” by Ted Nugent. “We’re going to make so many liberals cry on November 3!”

I'm at a Nikki Haley "Indian Voices for Trump" event, where @opinionbazaar is introducing some pro-Trump arguments I've not heard outside this setting: Trump "never once interjected himself into the Kashmir issue," and if Trump loses, China is more likely to go to war w India.
Folks... Image
Haley's shorthand history of herself and Trump (understandably!) leaves out her 2016 criticism of him. She says she first interacted w him after her 2010 primary win: "He had sent a support check, it came in a big white envelope with gold trim, and it said: You’re a winner."
