she’ll be the first republican calling for trump to ‘take the loss pussy’ after election day

that’ll state the 2028 race. she probably already has deals in place 

Since he took a shot at Hailey today, I'm sorta guessing she's starting that fight early and has possibly told him to fuck right off when asked to join him on tour.

Guessing someone on the campaign floated that town hall thing to the media and he would never share a stage with her and just nuked her in that interview

lol. Greg Abbott thinks Haley lacks a spine. She would do whatever Trump and associates asked her to do in the next 3 weeks.

You're describing the russian posture towards media now. We should aspire to be better than THAT, even when everything is on the line. 

Words and facts do still matter, we cannot kowtow to the insistence otherwise by our sick fellow Americans. 

No.  They don't.

The rules of the game have been set.  They are always set by the lowest common denominator.  Play by those rules, or lose.

This.

The other team is out there swinging clubs and machetes every time you run a play from scrimmage.  Failing to use similar means just means you lose.

Honest question.  Why do you think that this is not something that could happen?

We live in a society where people have opened fire in schools, colleges, movie theaters, restaurants, churches, shopping malls, etc.

The one thing that hasn't to date drawn fire is lines of people waiting to vote.

I had a coworker try to convince me to vote for Trump yesterday. This was a smart, rational man that has apparently had his brain completely infected by right wing media. I’ve talked to him regularly for years. This is the first time he’s ever brought up politics. 

He’s full on maga. Was at the rally in Butler when Trump was shot at. 

I stood there dumbfounded at the level of bad faith arguments. There isn’t a single thing better under Biden than Trump. Inflation was entirely caused by Biden’s spending (CARES act and CRRSA act were completely necessary and had no impact on inflation, it was entirely caused by the American Rescue plan and the inflation reduction act). The entire world was at peace under Trump and is now on the brink of WWIII and it’s Biden’s fault. We shouldn’t be giving anything to Ukraine, equipment or money, because that war is unwinnable and it’s not our battle to fight. Russias economy is booming, doing better than ours because of this war. Illegal immigration was completely under control under Trump and the border is wide open streaming criminals in and Biden is doing nothing to stop it. Violent crime was way down under Trump and it’s skyrocketing under Biden. Did you see they just had to revise the statistics upward for 2022. There’s nothing wrong with the religious right pushing religion into public schools. “A little more religion in schools wouldn’t be a bad thing instead of trans indoctrination and critical race theory for 6 year olds.” Almost everyone wanted roe v wade overturned. Even Ruth Bader Ginsburg thought Roe v Wade should be overturned. Even on the most absurd Trump lies like he’s studied wind better than anyone. “Maybe he has. How do you know he hasn’t seriously studied wind.” What about Trump claiming he is going to cut electricity prices in half and double our electricity supply IN 6 MONTHS OF BEING IN OFFICE? “I’m sure there are several things he could do to pull that off.” Like what? “…mumble mumble cut regulations mumble mumble” and onto the next load of nonsense. 

And all of those perceived failings of Biden are directly transferable to Harris. 

This is a gainfully employed, intelligent, navy veteran who has completely swallowed trumps whole mushroom. 

How much money did we spend/add to the money supply with the stimulus checks? As soon as they announced that, my 'Inflation' alarm bells started ringing in my head.

I just think the odds are miniscule.  Zero?  No.  I'll donate another $500 to Mobile Loaves & Fishes if it happens, though.

The fact that 34% of Americans in this poll think Trump is in better physical/mental health shows how deluded his base is. That said, it's certainly a reversal of fortunes from July. This guy thinks that attacks along these lines will continue and continue to work on voters. Also, it probably means we'll FINALLY see more stories about it in the news.

Yeah, her seasonal allergies and occasional hives are disqualifying.

Another late October visit to a not swing state. Perfect, he’s totally going full Hillary. A state that his campaign abandoned months ago 

A poll this week had Harris up 9 in NH

I don't think I've ever been in a line to vote longer than about 15 minutes.

Most of the time I walk right up and there are empty machines ready to go. The only delay is how long it takes the old lady at the desk to look at my ID, ask me if I still live at that address, and have me sign something.

 

You’re not being targeted with voter suppression tactics

They've already used the threat of violence as a political tactic.Trump's paramilitary goons pushed to go to polling places in 2020 and 2022. There were many stories about this (link, link).

Whether a shot is fired or someone is actually killed is besides the point. The goal is to intimidate people into not voting.

just like here once we elected a black man president...boom, racism gone!

Exactly! cab but I've been going back and forth to South Africa for the past 20 years (was just there last week in fact) and racism in the US is just as strong as it is there. The refreshing thing about SA is that they actually talk about racism and what to do about it. For the record, everyone I talk to in SA -- across all racial categories, etc, and I mean every single person -- everyone wants Kamala to win. They went through 5 years of their version of Trump (Jacob Zuma) and see right through his bullshit.

No, it's not beside the point I responded to.  The assertion was made with confidence that someone would mow down voters:

I'll be very surprised if this actually doesn't happen this cycle.

Betting odds are dumb af. I’ve said it many times. Especially when foreign money is pumping into those markets. Those people can’t even vote

Also.....when other nations write their history books about how the mighty US came crashing down, the Citizens United decision will be the point-of-no-return in that story.  It is proving to be the poison from which we couldn't recover.

Remember when @washparkhorn was calling people who opposed it anti-union and celebrating Citizens United because it was “more free speech?”

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

CCM not a good choice. I've been impressed with Jack Smith.

Well, remember, prosecuting crimes is a pretty fractional share of the responsibility of the Attorney General.  Most of the work of the DOJ is civil in nature and no less important.

He legit seems dumber than usual.  His speeches are a free-association ramble of incoherent and irrelevant thoughts.

One of the most ludicrous and amusing is that he had heard of all these immigrants seeking "asylum."  He has that confused with insane asylums and thus has concluded and asserted that emigrant countries are emptying their asylums and sending people here.  And a corollary of that is constant reference to Hannibal Lecter, as someone who inhabited an insane asylum, or should be in one, or something like that.

Then there's electric boats and whether it's worse to be electrocute by the sinking electric boat or eaten by the nearby sharks.

He also looks like shit.  I mean shittier than usual shit.

 

I think we need to consider that there may be a one or more people in the upper echelon of his campaign that are trying to sabotage it.

There are no rules anymore.

So the rest of us should stop being hamstrung by non-existent rules.

The internet should be overwhelmed with fake quotes by Donald Trump saying that he loves illegals, grainy deepfake videos of him sucking Putin's cock....all of it.  Whatever lies will turn off MAGAs from voting, flood the fucking zone with those lies.  Lies and fraud are the tools of the new era.  USE THEM.  WIN WITH THEM.  The rules are over.  Truth is over.  The rule of law is over.  JUST WIN.

Also.....when other nations write their history books about how the mighty US came crashing down, the Citizens United decision will be the point-of-no-return in that story.  It is proving to be the poison from which we couldn't recover.

Damn. Gotta love post-norms America.

Cross posting from the Ukraine thread:

 

 

It’s surreal to be trying to ascertain the depth of Putin’s grotesquely irrational, overwhelming hatred of Ukraine. Over the last decade, he:

- unleashed grandiose propaganda of hate and war not seen since the Radio of Thousand Hills

- ruined his lucrative relations with the West

- started a dirty and abominable proxy war in Donbas and shamelessly lied about it for a decade

- caused the deadliest shoot-down incident in human history with the MH-17 flight

- unleashed the largest war of aggression in Europe since WWII

- made his military suffer the most catastrophic losses since WWII (and lose exponentially more than in all Soviet and Russian wars after WWII combined), including close to 3,500 tanks and about 150,000 dead.

- recruited convicts en masse as suicidal cannon fodder and pardoned scores of the most violent murderers, cannibals, and maniacs

- gave the green light to a giant suicidal mercenary army that once almost dethroned him

- brought the world to the brink of nuclear holocaust

- made it to the wanted list as an international war criminal

- made nuclear threats a usual everyday instrument of global politics

- emptied seemingly bottomless Soviet-era weapon stocks -

begged Iran and North Korea for weapons, equipment, and munitions

- continues multiyear full-scale missile and bombing campaigns to strip a 40-million European nation of electricity and heating or at least to kill as many as he can

- made Russia an ultimate Chinese vassal totally dependent on Xi

- sent hundreds of thousands to die for his bruised ego in suicidal frontal assaults

- re-introduced human wave attacks as a usual reality of war in Europe

- erased entire regions and got a war on Russia’s home territory

And that’s all for the sake of erasing a country that’s only guilty of willing to live on, keep its identity, and stay independent -- which is a terrible offense to Putin and his insane lust for absolute power -- as well as his megalomanic perception of himself as a new tsar with a messianic mission.

 

______________

But let's not forget something really important.  Read that list above.....and realize that Donald Fucking Dumbass Motherfucker Trump thinks that Putin is a great and brilliant leader.  Dipshit Motherfucking Ignorant Cocksucker Trump thinks that Putin IS A GODDAMNED ROLE MODEL.  COMING TO THE USA SOON: DECISIONMAKING AS GUT-NUMBINGLY STUPID AS PUTIN'S!

God I hate that dumbass motherfucker.  I hate him more than I thought humanly possible.  Choke on a fucking hamberder already and fucking DIE.

Yeah but at least Putin isn't a democrat.
