Fox News is already setting up for some weird conspiracy theories regarding the upcoming Trump / Biden debate

The same Fox News that had to pay almost a billion dollars when sued over their conspiracy theories pushing election lies

This is going to be epic levels of copium.

Hannity was losing his shit last night. He clearly was pissed that Trump accepted the offer.

Ingraham was framing it as a No Big Deal thing. Hannity blew it up. I figure Hannity knows that Trump has to be a bully and distraction. He needs to appear strong and dominant, he needs to interrupt Biden to take advantage of Biden's stutter, and, most importantly, he needs to deflect from any conversation about policy.

Holding Biden accountable for his policies is going to force a comparison of positions.

It means that any images of the border in July and August can be reframed is Trump's insistence that the GOP tank the bipartisan bill. It forces Trump to own Dobbs.

Lara Trump: He called Biden's bluff.

No way Trump is showing up.

@nemesio

Yes, and this is a mess of his own making.

Ingraham was trying to make the best of it saying that he'll be fine. Hannity lost it. He clearly thinks Trump accepting the offer was the wrong thing to do.

There is no way that Trump is going to step foot on the debate stage. Sean Hannity lost his mind tonight.

Ingraham was saying that Trump could handle Biden. Trump just needs to remain calm and let Biden ramble. I think Hannity understands that unless Biden completely screws up, one of their last remaining narratives is gone.

Trump also needs chaos to prevent any discussion about policy.

And now Laura Ingraham is providing her insight into the debate schedule:

All Donald Trump needs to do is stay calm. Stay calm through the entire debate, and let...

Stop right there, Laura. 😂 😂 😂

According to Nate Silver, the Biden WH may have moved up the Senate to June so if Biden screws up, he can step down and pull the Ezra Klein emergency plan of nominating someone else.

Nate Silver is now NYTing.

"The White House pulled off a great bluff. But they hold a bad hand, and today's debate gambit reveals it."

Why Biden's winning strategy is bad for Biden.

Y'all want to hear a fact that really changed the way I thought about homelessness?

Half of all homeless people were in the foster system at some point. Social Workers often call the foster system The Highway to Homelessness. If you ever had a point in your life where you had to live with friends or family to for a short time to get back on your feet, remember that is a privilege that not everyone had.

@RickiTarr

Currently, 26 states have extended services for those in foster care that allow them to continue to receive services until they are 21 years old. However, it is underutilized.

One program that I encourage anyone interested in helping foster youth is CASA - Court Appointed Special Advocates. CASA programs are in every state (except North Dakota) and DC. It is similar to a Big Brother/Big Sister program as you will be assigned to a foster child. You spend time with the child and submit reports to the judge.

Social workers frequently change as some counties have a system in which a different social worker handles a specific step of the case. The CASA allows for continuity for the child. A CASA can make a huge difference in a child's life.

@RickiTarr

I think CA extends through 21, so that would be up to the 22nd birthday. I worked the legal side of CPS, and if a foster youth was in the extended program, there were a lot of good outcomes.

@Hey_Beth@sfba.social avatar

@RickiTarr

CA also has a new program regarding tuition and enrollment for foster youth at colleges, but I do know how it is working out.

This is one of those things where the mentorship aspect of CASA is crucial. Just having an adult help you figure out these programs can help.

And community colleges are frequently overlooked for all kids. They may have certificate programs that provide training for jobs.

And things have started...

In WV: No surprise that Trump and Biden immediately were the projected winners.

In Wyoming County, Haley is only pulling 4.9%. What is with Wyomings?

MD: Too early to call. But I'm going to go out on a limb and say Trump and Biden. 😂

NE: Haley is already pulling over 25% with 17% of the vote counted.

Hey_Beth,
@Hey_Beth@sfba.social avatar

WV: There is only one county in which I think I would not be burned as a witch. 😂

Two. Berkeley County. Of course. It's Berkeley. Not Wyoming.

Hey_Beth,
@Hey_Beth@sfba.social avatar

WV: Jason Palmer is pulling over 25% in one of the counties. Wow.

Correction: Over 22% in two counties.

Hey_Beth,
@Hey_Beth@sfba.social avatar

WV: Jim Justice won the Senate GOP primary. I don't think this was a surprise.

Hey_Beth,
@Hey_Beth@sfba.social avatar

WV: Haley is only pulling 10.6% right now. However, in Kanawha County, which I am guessing is the biggest county, Haley has over 19%.

Hey_Beth,
@Hey_Beth@sfba.social avatar

WV: Joe Biden is pulling only 72.4% of the vote. In some counties, it is just over 50%.

In Kanawha County, the biggest county (I think), he is pulling 81%.

WV is interesting.

@Lizette603_23

They seem to be very different in WV. 😂

Hey_Beth,
@Hey_Beth@sfba.social avatar

@Lizette603_23

I can only imagine.

Hey_Beth,
@Hey_Beth@sfba.social avatar

WV: Over 90% of the votes are in, and Haley has just 9.5%.

In the 2020 GOP primary, Joe Walsh and Bill Weld have 1.81% and 1.77%, respectively.

Right now, Trump has 88.3%, and in 2020, he had 94.39%.
