Prediction: Impeachment is a trap being set by Republicans. They're going to use it to make Biden unelectable by making it a comparison of who is more corrupt. It's a Trump said / Biden said competition and Trump is better at slinging mud. Watch recent footage of Giuliani speaking on MSNBC. He's chomping at the bit to tell the world how Biden and his son interfered in a foreign country's dealings, forcing a prosecutor to be fired. Was the prosecutor corrupt? Or, was Biden corrupt? Thinking of an elephant?

This video is too good. @AnaKasparian

#YangMediaBlackout extends to progressives who refuse to compare ideas by the merits as well.

I've yet to have someone explain why a FJG + Guaranteed Housing + Inc Min Wage is better than straight cash w/ UBI.

@AnaKasparian While a housing guarantee sounds nice, I think the real problem is deeper. The problem with Bernie's policies is that they are based on the notion that a person making minimum wage should be able to afford a quality life equivalent to what they could have had in decades past #UBI

Two predictions for what Facebook is working on, with their blockchain team: 1) Considering new end to end encryption announcements, they may use something like Shamir shared secrets to allow privileged access to encrypted data you submit. Every one of your friends gets a key to decrypt.
