Links for 9/8/20

Links for 9/8/20 

What is truly shameless is that no one who received these illegal donations (or the ones financed by the Trump SuperPAC using Moscow money) have given them back. Let's see what October brings. Hopefully 2021 will bring FEC reform with teeth.

That the convention infomercials did not have an effect is no shock. In a world of negative partisanship, they can't. People are locked in. Police reform's 15 minutes of fame (and the associated protests) have passed. A weekly or nightly march goes from news to exercise fairly quickly.

Mail in ballots counted prior to election day are announced when the polls close. It will be interesting to see how long the networks can drag out the results to not have them affect California voting. Arizona may be a referendum on Gabby, but if it results in making AZ a blue state, stick a fork in the GOP - it's done. 

The same can be said for some of the St. John Paul bishops. Whether the people in the pews move (or return in the age of COVID) is a serious matter for the Church. Europe never recovered. Fr. Spadaro's comments are evocative and very Jesuit. They seem to be baptizing deep change This is why the Jesuits have always been considered dangerous throughout their history. The scripture to not be like the gentiles in governing the Church is very dangerous to the status quo. Interesting.
