    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.

    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.

    Pretty sure the "Atlas" comes from "Atlas Shrugged." It's part of the Atlas Network, a libertarian think tank.

    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.
  5. Tuco
    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.

    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.

    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.

    You know, with a more racist crowd.

    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.

    Trump has the cannot-write-lyrics-worth-a-fuck vote wrapped up.
  11. Tuco
    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.

    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.

    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.

    My wife keeps saying this. Now I know what she’s referencing.
  15. Tuco
    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.

    I think it’s a reasonable position if you were just talking about Portland. Throw in Vancouver WA, which doesn’t share any election except Presidential with Portland, and I think that tilts the likelihood strongly in the favor of fascists. At that point, it’s not about trying to influence a particular race, but rather about attacking confidence in voting. That’s squarely in the right-wing wheelhouse.

    . “…our position throughout this campaign has been consistent: Mexico is full of rapists, Africa is full of shithole countries, and Ukraine doesn’t exist. We are still working on our Puerto Rico position; should be out in two weeks.”
  18. Tuco
    That doesn't match what is up currently. "Trump-supporting comedian ops rally by calling Puerto Rico a 'floating pile of garbage.' "
  19. Tuco
    And now it's a wedge issue - splitting those who rail against the PC/woke world and those who believe you shouldn't call you constituents "garbage." The campaign is such a dumpster fire, they October-surprise themselves.
  20. Tuco
    Yeah, New York and London are international cities. New York is arguably the economic and cultural capitol of the Western Hemisphere. Having international cities as part of America helps America extend its influence throughout the world.
  21. Tuco
    Especially considering he tied the Latino joke into "just like they are coming in to this country." He's using the "humor" to fire up the crowd over policy.
  22. Tuco
    Yes, I think he is looking to pick up additional audience. The more pertinent question is why would the campaign book him. It's not like his act is some secret. Having racist humor as part of the warmup was part of the agenda.
  23. Tuco
    Right. And when the get blowback for racist or other "non-PC" stuff at a show, they push back with "hey this is a comedy act, not meant to be taken seriously, chill out, just having fun, etc..) When it's part of a political rally, you don't get that cover anymore. You just don't. And it demonstrates it was never just about having fun. But, at the end of the day, he will gain some following out of this. So, he achieved his goal. So did some other speakers. I don't think they helped Donald much.
  24. Tuco
    I think the fact that the gender gap is holding up with ~20% new voters is also a good sign. For 493k new voters that's 49k more new women voting then new men. And the women are going to save all our asses. I hope.
