It might be days, weeks or (heaven help us) months before we learn the outcome of Tuesday’s presidential election. But the biggest winner won’t be on the ballot.

The undisputed champion of 2020 is hypocrisy — defined as claiming to have moral or religious beliefs or principles, even when you don’t.

It seems as though each day has brought new Trump controversies into the spotlight, each met with widespread attention: Record-breaking coronavirus case counts, his failure to denounce white supremacy, his comments to the Proud Boys, his push for the su

Mount Everest, the world’s highest mountain, and dozens of other towering peaks in the Himalayas accessible from Nepal are finally back in business.

Viral footage out of France shows what reports described as hundreds of miles of traffic jams in and around the French capital at the close of this week just as a Macron-mandated second national lockdown went into effect Friday.

Imagine if you had to arrange with a friend to drive you and a car full of neighbors 40 miles or more to your polling station to vote, all the time worrying about the coronavirus that had infected your family or members of your community.

A convoy of SUVs and pickup trucks flying Trump flags escorted the Biden-Harris Bus down a Texas highway Friday, nearly forcing the bus off the road, resulting in Democrats to cancel a bus tour due to “security reasons.”

According to Texas House Rep. Sheryl Cole, the Biden-Harris Bus tour in Austin, Texas, was “canceled” due to “security reasons,” which she took to Twitter, accusing Trump supporters of operating “well beyond safe limits.”

Alors qu’il est encore trop tôt pour prédire l’issue vraisemblable de l’élection présidentielle de novembre 2020, Donald Trump continue de prendre du retard dans les sondages nationaux, tout en se livrant à des manœuvres électorales malhonnêtes dans l’espoir de vaincre le challenger démocrate Joe Biden.

Following contentious Congressional testimony this week from Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and a 22% drop on Friday, the social media giant finally decided to unlock the New York Post‘s account just days before the general election – after more than two weeks in Twitter jail for posting a negative article on the company’s preferred candidate, Joe Biden.

Amid escalating purge, former Labour leader suspended for factual statement.

Filmmaker and political pundit Michael Moore – who correctly called Trump’s win in 2016 (and accidentally made a bitchin’ Trump ad) – is warning Democrats not to believe polls suggesting Biden has a giant lead. In fact, it may be within the margin of error.

Laura Loomer, a “proud Islamophobe,” believes everybody in Gaza is a terrorist – except the Christians.

A small army of volunteer “vote protectors” is reporting voter intimidation in North Carolina, mostly by Trump supporters, amid a tsunami of early voting in the state’s largest cities.

On the eve of an angry and anxious election, it’s worth remembering that there was a time when we were, if not united, at least bound together by a shared set of cultural touchstones. Movies, sports, even the three TV networks that delivered the evening news were part of a national town square that provided both watercooler conversation and comity. No more!

Update 1650ET: In a post with comments disabled, the editors of The Intercept have responded to Greenwald’s decision to leave – writing “The narrative Glenn presents about his departure is teeming with distortions and inaccuracies — all of them designed to make him appear as a victim, rather than a grown person throwing a tantrum.”

They suggest that Greenwald was “attempting to recycle the dubious claims of a political campaign — the Trump campaign — and launder them as journalism.”

Corporate media is silent following an explosive Tuesday night interview with Tony Bobulinski, a former Naval veteran of 20 years who provided text, email, and anecdotal evidence that he was brought in by the Biden family to manage a venture with a CCP-linked Chinese entity, and that they concealed Joe Biden’s involvement.
