This and the LA Times is nothing more than owners preemptively protecting themselves if DJT wins.  It is a sign that our Constitution and social contract are at grave risk. 

It's a pleasure to find a forum where I can toss a hook 'em after one of your posts. Great observation, my friend.

When the people and entities supposedly protected from government action by the First Amendment restrain their speech because they fear the planned regime will NOT be restrained by the protections provided by the First Amendment, then the First Amendment is dead.

To be clear, the side shouting "free speech!" as loudly as they can, all the time -- in the COMPLETELY wrong context -- has actually succeeded in killing protected free speech.

They are enemies of the Republic, freedom, and the Constitution.

The hate engine has spent more than forty years convincing them that they are the protectors of America. Liberals are their juden. We're carried beyond reason. Somehow the obvious doesn't matter anymore.

If a reckoning comes for the MAGA traitors, they will be Michael Douglas on the pier in Falling Down.

Their irony deafness doesn't recognize the obvious in the below. This is why you can't argue with them:

It now occurs to me that if nothing is obvious, you can't be ironic. Not bad for a Saturday morning.

Yep.  And more specifically, Kamala Harris needs to schedule a stop in North Carolina as soon as she can, and tell the attendees and viewing audience that Andy Mother-Fucking Harris has proposed stripping North Carolinians of their right to vote and determine the allocation of the state's electoral votes regardless of the will of the people.  

She would need to speak off the cuff on this subject and it's implications alone. Leave the boilerplate at home. This national leader, Fuckwad Harris (no relation), is calling for election results prior to election day. He is cancelling everybody's vote and right to vote whether you vote Republican or Democrat. 

Does anyone want to give a man who doesn't care anything about our Constituition the power to award public office before anyone has even voted? 

That was Vice President Kamala Harris, we have Congressman Fuckwad Harris here to explain his point of view. Congressman?

Kamala Harris is a radical socialist who wants murderers and rapers to come to this country to murder and rape us. And eat our pets as they're doing in Springfield. We want to protect the sanctity of election results by preventing Democrat cheating. We will not let them steal another election!

Do you believe Donald Trump won in 2020?

We don't want to look back. We are looking forward to the day that we can make America great again at bayonet point.

Corporate media with a vested interest in things staying a certain way. It's why I hope CNN and others start going under. They've stoked this era of politics at every turn. They reacted to Fox News by becoming something almost worse. 

CNN has ceased being a news gathering organization as they rely on print media for their stories. They've drifted so far from the concept of reporting that their banner at the bottom of the screen always reads: Breaking News. Most of the time, it's just a description of who is appearing on one of their panels. Real journalism news organizations were picky about getting things right.

CNN does try to stay in the middle with their panel discussions which has some value. Sadly, they don't exercise editorial discretion to keep out the bullshit. They're too timid to call something what it is. Lies in the case of Trump or famine in the case of the poor citizens of Gaza.

If they go, I wonder where a lot of people will hear what the newspapers they never read are reporting. CNN  is at least a clearing house for a little bit of that. I'd prefer that CNN improve, but that's a pipe dream.

Couple things:

1) The Harris rally was epic. It seems like it broke through the noise for her in a way that nothing else really has this month. 

2) Trump is flailing and his team is flailing. He could win, obviously, but they are running on fumes and relying on whatever fuckery they have cooked up to come down with the ball. It is evident to me that they thought Harris would revert the signal by now. She hasn’t, and the mid-oct Trump bounce has peaked.
 

3) Harris should absolutely do Rogan, and I still hope she does. There is literally no downside and in an election like this she loses when dances to their tune (CNN/60 Mins) and wins when she’s making her own weather (Fox, CHD, Houston Rally).

On point 2, weekend Fox & Friends (my mom had it on) was basically discussing how she could still lose the race, not how Trump is winning it.

Not the most confident assessment of the race by the F&F B-team 

Harris should set up a series of rallies in Philly or Pittsburgh at 2-3 venues.  Places that seat 15,000+.  Plan it so that she moves from one place to another and has three distinct "parties" like she did last night but all in one day and in a 4-5 hour window.   Imagine the way that would look if 40k or 50k or 100k showed out for that.   I think the enthusiasm is there for it   The logistics are a bit hard to pull off but do it.    

Think about if she'd been at Minute Maid for a speech at 4:00, moved to Shell at 5:30 and then Minute Maid to close it out.  Have the Big Screens on so everyone at each location can watch party with the other locations.  Give three distinct speeched covering 3 specific items (say, the economy, foreign policy and a GOTV one.)

That would rock.  But with 9+ days left, it might not matter.

Georgia overnight data dump highlights:

1.  2.614 million votes have now been cast

2  Women outpace men by 300k 55.5% to 44% (a .1% uptick from yesterday)

3.  Vote totals against 2020 - EV voters make up 76.4%, day of voters 6.6%, and non voters 17%

The 2020 early voters now make up 2 million of the 2.614 million, while the day of make up 174k.  The big question then, who are the 444k non voters from 2020 (this will determine the winner)?

Demographic breakdown of the non voter

White - 237k

Black - 107k

Hispanic - 22k

Asian - 19k

Other - 59k

By Gender

Female - 233k

Male - 199k

Other/Unknown -12k 

By Age

18-29 - 140k

30-39 - 64k

40-49 - 55k

50-64 - 89k

65+ - 88k

Unknown - 9k

Fortress Atlanta 2020 Non Voters

Clayton County - 10k

Cobb County - 31k

Dekalb Couny - 30k

Douglas County - 6.2k

Fulton County - 58k

Gwinett County - 38k

 

So the curious thing this week will be if we see a voting turnout that runs out of steam.  We've now exceeded EV turnout by 300k from 2020, and 2020 EV voters that haven't voted only represent about 325k.  I've been expecting a bit of slow down, but yesterday proved to be the exact opposite.  It now appears that Georgia will easily exceed 3 million votes cast by Friday, the end of EV.  The real question is how high this total will actually go.  Is 3.5 million possible?  Well I'd have certainly told you no before all this, but now I think it's almost assured.  

The engagement is fantastic, and I certainly believe that favors us strongly.  Apathy is our enemy, and I don't see any.  

 

 

 

Were there any voting locations close to the rally yesterday?

It would have been awesome if there was a line switch system where one person could go vote while waiting in line and then switch with whoever you came with.

I know we are so far beyond stuff like this, but it reminded me that Trump thought a reasonable exaggeration for the crowd outside his McDonalds stunt was TWENTY-NINE THOUSAND, aka the same size as the Kamala rally last night.

I can’t believe we are this close to putting a man that stupid back in office.

I've been wondering about this for a while -- if Mike Johnson would just say "I think there's election fraud, so how 'bout I just pick the next president" or words to that effect.

This headline says he can't but by now I've seen enough election lawyering to know there's a "well, if you look at it a different way" or "we gotta let Clarence Thomas vote on this one" coming.

I guess we should explain that it's the Fifth Circuit, which has jurisdiction only over Texas, MIssissippi, and Louisiana.  Of those, only Mississippi attempts to count votes not received by election day.  So it only actually affects Mississippi and it wasn't changing the electoral outcome in any of them.  ETA, even the MS Secretary of State said the change will not be implemented until after this election.

But, it could be used as a precedent elsewhere.  It's not binding anywhere else, and, now that the Fifth Circuit has lost most of its credibility, will not be a convincing precedent   And, luckily, the trial court reached the opposite conclusion and didn't attempt to give a nationwide injunction against such laws.

Also, this is what wildcat refers to.  Purcell.

The goal is not to win court cases or even the election.  The goal is to inject enough disinformation, confusion, and lawfare into the system so that the House, state legislatures, and local officials can just appoint DJT president.

Jesus it's insane that this election is even close. It was sickeningly astonishing the first time Trump won, but for Americans to put him in office again after everything he's done is just a big middle finger to the concept of responsible, democratic government. Voting for Trump is not an act of ignorance anymore, it's an act of malice.

 

 

In my humble personal opinion I don't think it's close at all.

There would be numerous posters on this very board claiming that this is a fine, logical, legal idea and our Trump Derangement Syndrome/hatred for America prevents us from seeing that.

According to republican ads, the biggest issues in this country are trans people and murderous/rapist immigrants. Also, why do I never hear from Democrats that inflation is better? In their ads or otherwise, at least it seems that way to me.

And Joe is not exactly known for ferociously grilling his guests.

Not sure why my posts are triggering you. You might just have to accept disagreeing with me.

There is something about going on Joe Rogan that feels beneath the office, unlike any of the other podcasts/interviews she's done. Probably because Rogan is a meathead fucking idiot. 

He is, but he's wildly popular.  I also feel like the vapid Call Her Daddy podcast was equally beneath the office, but you have to penetrative our modern media silos somehow.

Your posts aren’t triggers—they just aren’t well reasoned. 

There’s been no announcement about her going on Rogan yet you’re angry that she hasn’t done it. There’s been no evidence that it’s the Harris team that is waffling about going on Rogan and you keep suggesting that it is.

Polls have sample sizes of hundreds or a couple of thousand. Early voting has sample size of millions. It’s not theoretical or speculative. All polling is based on modeling from past elections. There has never been a gender gap like this in turnout. If Harris wins by a surprising number, this will be why pollsters didn’t see it coming.
