  1. Well, one of us wrong on the polls (from NBCNews ).
  2. Me neither. That may be one of the few reasons why I am still alive. I think that sandwich was designed by a struggling cardiologist.
  3. That's a clever way to cover up the smell.
  4. Has anyone checked on the former first lady recently?
  5. I tried that, but gave up after "Sioxa Sirrah sdneirf..."
  6. This article says maybe 3k in the Lancaster area plus a few hundred throughout Pennsylvania.
  7. He's 94 years old. Does anyone think he pulled out his I-phone and typed that? Edit to add from Wiki:
  8. I agree it's bullshit. But, if it's contingent on the SC being on board and allowing the clock to run, I think it is reasonable they would also say they are not constrained by ERCA. The latter is more likely than the former. But it's all nonsense. In that scenario, you may as well just speculate they would agree with the MAGA plaintiffs on the hypothetical lawsuits and declare Trump the winner of that particular state. That would provide Trump with much better coverage for taking power than relying on loopholes. Why complicate it.
  9. Actually the article says it wouldn't get to that point. The scheme would be to remove blue electors (by delaying until they are past the deadline) until red electors are the majority of the remainder.
  10. It would still require a Jan 3 Congress to certify the vote. Do you think a Democratic Congress will certify that? So, you would need to have the current, razor thing Congress go along with not extending the deadlines for electors. You would need to have the Supreme Court delay the state rulings past the deadline. Then you would need the SC to rule that the completely arbitrary, not-Constitutionally mandated deadline would take priority to recognizing the votes of millions of people. Then you would need the Jan 3 Congress to certify the obviously tainted election. Then you would need Biden to handing the keys over to Trump, someone who is obviously a fascist dictator who seized power by undemocratic, unConstitutional ways. If you get past the third step, with the SC, it may get into some "constitutional crisis" grey area, but there is still a lot of off-ramps before handing the keys over to Trump.
  11. I think Mike Johnson will tell Trump what Trump wants to hear so Trump will allow him to keep being Speaker for the next 3 months. I take any speculation over a secret plan in that context.
  12. Looks like a couple of cops setting up a sign to indicate where the end of the voting line is. You can't really see the front of the uniforms well, but the little glimpses look right. It looks like it was posted at 5:54 PM, so that would be after 5 PM, not 2 PM. Looks like bullshit to me.
  13. Pretty sure the "Atlas" comes from "Atlas Shrugged." It's part of the Atlas Network, a libertarian think tank.
  14. Can we stop pretending that this election hinges on what Biden says or whether Harris goes on Rogan. Her campaign is clearly more competent. If she loses, it's because America prefers Trump's vision.
  15. I don't know man. Is there something you think we can do before the election? Because if not, I would probably table it until 1)we confirm that Harris got more votes and 2) that the same crack team that booked a press conference at a lawn care company has come up with some plausible means overthrowing the United States government. I have a hard time worrying about that compared to the possibility that a majority of Americans might actual favor the 2024 version of Trump to a competent campaign. A coup is a few hundred people, maybe. But an election, that's a bigger deal. I think the good guys win, and win pretty comfortably. But I am still going to be nervous for the next week.
  16. This is such Trump bait. He is going to have to talk about how his Jan 6th crowd was bigger. He is going to brag about Jan 6th and his role in it a week before the election.
  17. If I recall correctly, the Michigan Republican Party was taken over by the idiot MAGA faction and has run it into the fucking ground. They have either expelled or repulsed the old guard and have basically bankrupted the state party. This endorsement is about Harris, but is also an attempt to regain control of the state Party. I applaud both.
  18. You know, with a more racist crowd.
  19. I was pretty neutral on whether she go on Rogan. I know there is some concern that it would serve to validate him as legitimate media. I just don't know his show well enough to have an opinion on that. But traveling there and then doing three hours live? No fucking way. That's not "going on his show" anymore, that's kissing the ring. It's more than she would give to any other media outlet, whether that's straight news or a talk show. And that, alone, would get noticed and would be written about. And she'd look weak. It's not the same rules for Donald Trump. It's not the same rules for men.
  20. Trump has the cannot-write-lyrics-worth-a-fuck vote wrapped up.
  21. Right. It has nothing at all to do with immigration. It's that MAGA believes people who speak Spanish are dirty. That is the core belief that everything else is twisted around. Edit to add: Also, a lot of middle class Americans have visited Puerto Rico and have a positive opinion of it.
  22. So fucking weird - Dave and I were good friends sophomore year in high school. He was a rabid pro-lifer even back then. A bit of a prick, but so was I. I had no idea he had gone pro with being an asshole. Good for him, I guess. I'm maintaining my amateur status, in case it becomes an Olympic sport. Obviously we hadn't kept up over the years. He went to a different school after sophomore year. I'm pretty sure the last time I saw him (or heard anything about him until today) is when I kicked him out of a party senior year. I think his post may be as much about trying to save Bacon and Fischer as it is about dumping Trump. If Trump is going to lose NE-2, it's important to signal to Republicans to not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Stress the importance of divided government under a Democratic President so they still show up and vote down ballot.
  23. So the campaign reviewed the Puerto Rico joke and gave the thumbs up. Same with the Latino immigrant jokes. Maybe the watermelon joke was ad libbed. Honestly, if Trump wanted to sue these dipshits for malpractice, gross incompetence, whatever, it might be one of the few cases his attorneys could win.
  24. My wife keeps saying this. Now I know what she’s referencing.
  25. 4 electors for Trump vs 1 for Harris. But, if that polling were to hold up in ne-2, it flips a Congressman, possibly a Senator, affects some state leg races, and affects some pot and abortion ballot initiatives. I wish Omaha city races were concurrent. If Omaha (ne2) is that blue, you can’t really sleep on Lincoln (ne-1) either. We’ll find out when the big poll comes out in 8 days.
