Tracking Trump Administration and Cabinet picks
The biggest Trump maga guy I know just said to me that there’s no reason to not do the background checks. If there’s a process, the process should be followed. But I got him before he’s had Fox News spin put on it and why it’s actually super important that they don’t have background checks. I’m sure his opinion will be changed by next week.

2024 Random Games thread
Without seeing any of the game yet, and knowing the history of these two teams, this had such a high probability of sarcasm. I’ll give you the Oregon unis. These are definitely the best of all the absurd shit they’ve put out. And I’ll give you half a point for Maryland. If they had just gone with red instead of the tritone metallic nonsense they’d be there.

Just came here to say that Miami is going to back door this on some bullshit, and I see that everyone else agrees.

🇺🇸 2024 Election Day 🇺🇸
There are two houses in my area that drew my attention. One was in a massive sign war with his Trumper neighbor in 2020. Nothing this year. The other was a guy that had a couple Biden signs in his yard next door to a Trump house until Biden dropped out. Never replaced them for Harris. My precinct moved 2% towards Harris from 2020, but clearly enough of this state felt the same way as these two people that almost every county shifted a couple points to the right and flipped the state. And it looks like those reasons are several and play out differently in different parts of the state. Inflation, immigration, racism, misogyny, disinformation. Im sure the shift in central Philly, suburban Pittsburgh, Latino Allentown, and rural central PA all saw it a little differently, but they all shifted right a little bit.

That’s the beauty of creating false tragedies on the horizon. When they don’t happen, it’s because you stopped it.

Their demographic collapse will have something to say about that. But it also forces their hand to make drastic moves sooner rather than later.

And the Dems will rip their candidates apart with purity tests then whoever’s candidate doesn’t get the nomination will sit out the general.

Very little of my concern about his presidency is about him personally. It’s about him not giving fuck about what the ghouls he’s told to put in power around him do while he goes golfing.

That’s the whole crux of the maga movement: fuck you, I got mine. It’s not about creating a nation for everyone. It’s about grabbing as much as you can before it falls apart.

I didn’t think it was a setup initially, but in the week after he interviewed Trump I came to that conclusion too

Jesus Christ. And you guys think your state is going to turn blue? Rural PA is pretty racist and I have no doubt you’d get shouted down, if not punched in the face, if you were yelling the n word at a Penn state game. In hundreds of games there I’ve never heard it once. But god dammit if this election result doesn’t make it seem more likely. The constant normalization of hate is part of the feedback loop that got us here.

My point was just that the circles don’t give you and even remotely clear picture because a nearly even split skews the perspective of what’s actually out there.

Those circles are stupid because if it’s 51/49 the circle makes it look like all the votes are one color.

My wife had surgery today. This afternoon as she’s being moved up to her recovery room half delirious she leans over to me and goes “Did Obama win yet?”

Yep. That was my map as of last week. I’m on the verge of thinking she can get more than that but it’s based on nothing.

A polling place outside of Pittsburgh got a late start because the election judge never showed up with the ballots & name book. It’s a small 50/50 precinct mostly white working class. People that couldn’t wait (~20) had to fill out provisional ballots that won’t be counted today. Seems fairly inconsequential but it made for some interviews with classic Manongahela valley yinzers on the local news.

It’s also one of the PA counties that have swung from solidly blue to solidly red in the last 20 years. Apparently it’s been long enough that the people of Johnstown forgot what happens when you trust billionaire robber barons to care if they put your life in danger.
