So after all those years of non partisan publication they are now delving into the political realm . They must be drinking the global warming Kool Aid .Scientific American, at 175 years of publication the oldest continually published magazine in America, has for the first time in its history endorsed a Presidential candidate, in a 1400-word editorial blasting one of the candidates for his dangerous rejection of facts, logic, and science.
Guess which one?
Now it seems to be cooling down again .Yup. First it cooled then it warmed up. The cooling was real too.
Yup , saw that .It is now the Harris-Biden administration, just ask both of them.![]()

WASHINGTON — Another day, another round of strong polls for Joe Biden and the Democrats.
Biden and Senate Democratic candidates are ahead in Arizona, Maine and North Carolina, according to a trio of New York Times/Siena polls, though Biden is up by just a single point in the toss up state of North Carolina.
Biden’s even up by 2 points in Maine's Second District, which awards one electoral vote.
But for as stable as Biden’s lead has been, it’s worth emphasizing the uncertainties of conducting a presidential election during a pandemic.
For example, with more Democrats expressing interest to vote by mail than Republicans, FiveThirtyEight reports that ballots already turned in by North Carolina Black voters are being rejected at a higher rate (4.7 percent) than white voters’ ballots (1.1 percent) — likely due to mistakes in filling out the ballot.
Now we’re talking about just a sliver of votes so far (some 70,000), and North Carolina allows voters to fix their ballots. But this could be a problem for Democrats, especially if the race in the Tar Heel State is close.
Similarly, the Cook Political Report’s Dave Wasserman says that while Democrats were mostly victorious in the Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court ruling Thursday on its voting procedures, there were two big exceptions.
One, the court ruled that ballots that are not submitted in outer envelopes won’t be counted. And two, it said election boards don’t have to notify voters if they made a mistake.
That could be a problem for Democrats, Wasserman argues, if they’re the ones sending in more mail-in ballots and if these voters don’t have experience when it comes to voting by mail.
Meanwhile, in Florida, Politico reports this morning that more than 35,000 ballots in the state’s August primary were rejected for a variety of reasons, which could end up mattering in November given how close Florida elections always are.
Add them all up, and you see why the polls could very well be spot-on about where the Biden-vs.-Trump race stands, and why they could end up looking wrong on (or after) Election Day.
For a race that’s been incredibly stable, maybe the biggest uncertainty of all is how the votes get counted.....More
Joe Biden's campaign is no doubt feeling pretty good after the former vice president's Thursday night performance in the CNN drive-in town hall in Scranton, Pennsylvania. With 47 days until election day, Biden took full advantage of the national spotlight to address the issues, call for unity and attack his opponent, President Donald Trump.
But there were holes in his performance. Biden may have been able to get away with them at the town hall, but if he makes similar mistakes in the three upcoming presidential debates, he won't be so lucky.
So, with debate season just around the corner, what strengths and weaknesses did Biden display Thursday night?
Let's start with the positives:
Candidates can't fake authenticity; they have it or they don't. Joe Biden has it in spades. As he did during the Democratic National Convention, Biden demonstrated he has tremendous empathy. Whether it was for the teacher with multiple sclerosis, the nurse who lost her husband, or the health care worker struggling to make ends meet amid the deadly pandemic, Biden showed genuine concern and true empathy.
That intangible quality will go a long way. Voters want to feel a connection with the person they are electing.
With mail-in voting already underway in some states, Biden was wise to address the massive election uncertainty across the country. He encouraged voters to plan ahead and become informed about where and when they will vote.
But there were also a few less-than-positive moments in the event. The coronavirus pandemic, which has taken the lives of nearly 200,000 Americans so far, took top priority and Biden wasted no time criticizing President Trump's handling of the crisis. He referred to Trump's response to the crisis as "close to criminal."
But at the same time, Biden offered little consistency on whether he would implement a national mask mandate if elected president. On Wednesday, Biden said his legal team thinks he would have the constitutional authority to impose a national mask mandate.
Yet, on Thursday night, he acknowledged that he "cannot mandate people wearing masks." Rather he would encourage every mayor and governor to impose a face-covering order.
Then, there's the issue of energy independence and fracking. To put it simply, Biden has been all over the map. In the Democratic primary, Biden said he was opposed to fracking and fossil fuels, telling Dana Bash he would "make sure it's eliminated."
But fast forward to the Scranton town hall. Biden stated that he, at least in the short term, would not ban fracking. When Anderson Cooper said he was "trying to have it both ways," Biden admitted he would phase it out over time, thus transitioning countless Pennsylvania fracking workers out of jobs, with no clear sense of how they could find new ones.
According to FiveThirtyEight, Pennsylvania is a key battleground state that will be crucial in deciding the presidential election. A note to the Biden campaign: Don't offend frackers in Pennsylvania; don't try to fool them either.
Some 900 miles west, and a world away, President Trump returned fire at Biden during a rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin. He said, as he often does, that if Biden wins, "the rioters, the anarchists, arsonists, and flag burners" win. And by the way, Wisconsin is another key battleground state in this election.
Thursday night's dueling battleground state events were no coincidence. Consider it a test run for what's to come in this monumental election.
Lobbing attacks at a drive-in town hall or at an airport hangar rally are one thing -- the real test comes when both candidates take to the first debate stage on September 29th. No amount of on-stage social distancing can diminish the impact of that face-to-face contrast of candidates.
Sounds like Trump's MO. But Trumpkins like that shit cuz it superstitiously validates their sexual fantasies of groping young girls. Y'all be sick fukks.Yep all in the Dem. playbook for every election she was going to come out in 2016 with her accusation but there were too many already.
