NO NEED TO READ: Says Biden will do the obvious, less significant foreign policy things you know he'll do (e.g. talk nice to Europe, rejoin Paris). Doesn't say much if anything about the big things you want to know about: Iran, Syria, North Korea, China https://t.co/3lkTuuf50U

Does ames Murdoch's "work" really contribute to Tesla? Isn't he on the board mainly because of his Fox connection. If he loses that connection, do they still want him? https://t.co/5iAwgL0YY8

Ellis argues that James Murdoch's resignation from Newscorp was a business decision, not a political decison. The "disagreement" stuff is true but isn't the real reason. (See multiple posts on @41jellis timeline.) https://t.co/MUz1Gkly9R

In this episode Bob mentions Steve Bannon saying we already have China-esque social credit scores in the US. I think this is what Bannon might have been referring to https://t.co/Wg1iDENd88 It's indeed scary. https://t.co/bclZpDGH5G

Maybe this is why Democrats have pushed so hard for universal mail-in voting — they know it will lead inevitably to "harvesting," which is what they really want.

One consequence: Just as complicated tax forms sent ordinary Americans to HR Block and accountants, complicated mail-in elections will send them to … "harvesters." After all these alarming notices I long for a nice Democratic harvester to stop by and do all the work for me! 7/7

The whole thing is overseen by a registrar, Dean Logan, has such a track record of incompetence that even the genteel @LATimes suggest he be fired. https://t.co/r4Ci7kvoyW Expect disaster 6/

Another random paragraph notes that if your signature is missing or doesn't match " the County will notify the impacted voter to allow the voter an opportunity to provide a valid signature." That will make for a quick count on Election Day. 5/

Down at the bottom of one mailing, if you look hard enough, you see a little paragraph: "Safe and accessible in-person voting options will be available."
They're clearly trying to discourage those options-perhaps remembering last election when in-person polls were swamped 4/— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey) August 1, 2020

All thesenotices come fraught with the anxiety that if I make 1 misstep or miss 1 mailing my vote might not be counted. It's not just that many people might find this thicket hard to navigate. It's that one more thing that used to be simple and made it another complication 3/

Voting used to be easy. Went to polling place on election day, saw my neighbors, voted.
Now I'm bombarded with complicated, badly designed mailings from registrar, like a bank trying to sell me CDs, starting late July. 1/— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey) August 1, 2020

Thanks. Giving the finger to Holbrooke also does not seem disqualifying. On the other hand, what has she actually accomplished?
Interesting that @Milbank was on her case in 2017 too. https://t.co/9X6oGAX08d— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey) August 1, 2020
