  1. She doesn’t have control of it and the rules are that it would only be used for the 2 uninterrupted minutes.
  2. Trump winning round 2 with lies and Joe stumbling.
  3. The 154 number would put turnout at 60%, with the lower and higher numbers being 56% and 65%. Turnout in 2016 was 55%.
  4. From the battleground in Pennsylvania, wearing my Andrew Yang 2020 shirt, voting for the first time.
  5. Citizens for American Energy Federal PAC. Unsurprisingly, their biggest public donor in 2016 was the company that owns that billboard.
  6. Billboard in Fayette county PA. Fayette County is the poster child for rust belt Trumpism. Mostly rural county, 94% white, 20+% poverty rate, that used to be a democratic stronghold. Voted Dem from 1932-2004 with Nixon’s second term being the only exception where he only won by 9 points. The peak was LBJ winning the county by 50 points. Then in 08 McCain took it by 215 total votes. Trump won it by 30%. It was a perfect place to be sold on Trumpism. It peaked in the post-war 1940’s with its biggest town now at half the population it was then (currently 10k people). The decline of coal in the area and then steel has had the county in steady decline since the 40’s. Along cane Trump talking about making America great again and bringing back coal and steel. But I guess no one there remembered that the coal there is mostly mined out and done with a small crew and machines, not a few hundred guys with pickaxes. They voted democratic for 75 years but had been in steady decline for most of that time. They were as ripe as could be for Trump’s con for a bunch of reasons, and they bit, hook, line, and sinker. That area will be solid R for at least a generation.
  7. His district was redrawn since the 2016 election. In 2016 he ran unopposed. When it was redrawn for the 2018 election he won 51-47. Basically his district and the one to the east used to split the population of Erie into two very large, rural districts to create two republican locks (Trump won Erie country by 2%, the rest of those counties by 35%). Now he has all of Erie county.
  8. So the gop’s big October surprise was Guliani getting ahold of a laptop that Biden’s son supposedly left in the shop of a blind computer repairman in Delaware while living in California. Meanwhile the New York Times just keeps lobbing Molotov cocktails at the trump campaign and Trump is becoming more unhinged by the day. i wish I had more confidence in there not being any fuckery with the election so I could sit back and enjoy the ride a bit more.
  9. They’ve had dozens of people hooking up their milking machines to that cash udder for years and she’s just about dried up. We’ll find out over the next few years who was good at hiding where the money was going and who wasn’t.
  10. “Good beautiful clean coal.” Pittsburgh has the 8th worst air quality of all metro areas over the last few years and 6 of the other 7 were Californian cities dealing with wildfires. Largely due to a coal power plant on one river and a coke plant on another. And at the coke works, us steel regularly just pays the fines instead of actually fixing anything.
  11. So he agreed to do an interview because he can’t turn down the spotlight and then threw a temper tantrum when they didn’t treat him like Fox News does.
  12. With the rank number in the position of the girls in the picture or does the number represent the position of the girl in the picture listed from hottest to least attractive?
  13. I don’t understand why it’s such a hard question to answer. “Here’s the deal, I don’t want to shut anything down. We’ve got some activities that are reopening more successfully than others and we just need to look at the data on what can be opened safely and what activities create risk for other people. If something can be done safely, with a mask and not pose an increased risk to other people or employees of that establishment then there’s no problem there. But as we’ve seen, some people don’t want to take this threat seriously and it’s preventing a lot of things from moving forward. The president and his administration are a perfect example. They acted irresponsibly and he ended up in the hospital getting care that no one else in the country could get. Then he told you it was no big deal because he doesn’t care about you or your loved ones. I want us all to get back to living our lives like we all want to, but we have to do it in a way that doesn’t sicken and kill many thousands more than have died already.”
  14. I read it as there was a coordinated campaign between trump and the RNC. And then once they got what they wanted from the RNC, they pulled their money to spend somewhere else.
  15. I know exactly 1 person who would give a single fuck if fracking was eliminated tomorrow in PA. He has a gas well on his property and he’s already a huge trumper. I don’t think the fracking play is as effective as they think it is. There are a small number of people that it matters to who are already trumpers in areas that trump is going to win by 40-50-60 points. Theres an add that’s been running it western PA since June or July and it’s supposed to be some rural yinzer that used to be a Democrat that claims joe Biden is going to eliminate over 600,000 jobs and everyone this guy knows will he out of work. Bureau of labor statistics counts a little over 600,000 fracking jobs nationwide and 26,000 in PA.
  16. What the hell does PPP tell me for West Virginia? That they’re actually poor as fuck but since the only store in town is dollar general, so the money goes further?
  17. Again, this was all plainly obvious before he decided to run for office. Anyone that got fooled by Trump is a fucking moron. His presidency hasn’t been the slightest bit surprising in any way. The only thing that has surprised me is the number of people that fell for it.
  18. And it all crashes down And you break your crown And you point your finger, but there's no one around Just want one thing, just to play the King But the castle crumbled and you're left with just a name Where's your crown, King Nothing?
  19. Yep. And the line that “it’s very straight” means that it’s as crooked as could be.
  20. It feels bad doing it but I can’t help it.
  21. Him trying to talk his way through who he owes the $400 million to is hilarious. ”Do you any money to any foreign bank or foreign entities?” ”Not that I know of, but probably because it’s so easy to solve, and if you’d like to do, I will let you know who... who I owe whatever this small amount of money. I want to say two things. Number one, it’s a very small amount of money. Number two, it’s very straight. It’s very very straight.”
  22. I’ve been jumping around between the two streams and backing up to find various questions. Trump is completely fucking lost on this question about how he’ll help front line workers that are actively losing their jobs right now.
