This is bullshit, because the "slash" didn't appear in the American vernacular until Kordell Stewart.

[Anastasis 23479]

Well, I did edit to add "probably".  

[wildcat09 29355]

When Ana looks at the trolley problem, he knows the most moral choice is to pull the switch so that the train runs over the track with a bunch of people tied down to it, then cross to the track with one person tied down and shoot them in the head. Unless it’s a woman, then he’ll force her to give birth to a rapist’s child first then he’ll shoot her in the head.

i have three longtime republican brothers, each a bit of a different flavor: one aggy, two red raiders. one uber catholic, one damn near prosperity gospel, one borderline conspiracy theorist. they range from solid middle class to 1 percenter.  each of them thinks biden's reelection is a foregone conclusion.  i think it stems from the educated republican sensing a pullback for their kind's support of trump.  couldn't tell you whether these specific ones did/will vote trump, although the odds on favorite would be 2/3 did last time and 3/3 did first time.

[BehoId, The Underminer! 11669]

it would, also, put us in a historic world of having a president that will never be elected president: fillmore, tyler, arthur, the shitty johnson, ford, then harris once biden croaks. 

i got a little comma happy there.  forgive me.

That's about as believable as the polls that have Trump winning the youth vote 60-30 or whatever. 

[Pato del Muerto 52531]

If that’s really one that his campaign uses, look for him to make more appearances there. Good. Fewer time spent in Wisconsin and Michigan et al.

The same poll has Trump tied in Oregon and Illinois, so it isn’t. I got to use the x files meme, no ragrets.

Yeah, a decade ago, the GOP told campaigns NOT to use McLaughlin.  He had Cantor winning by 34 points in his primary before he lost by 11.

Ha. I mean, I guess trading Illinois for Texas would be a pretty big net win for Biden.

I want to believe I can get within 100 yards of Sela Ward without violating any prior restraining orders, but the State of New York says otherwise, at least until August of 2025.

With that said, I do think the numbers are a lot better for Biden than what we see publicly, which could explain why so many Republicans are freaking out.  We see shitty-ass polling done on the cheap.  Republican politicians are seeing numbers they paid good money for, from companies that aren’t just surveying people stupid enough to answer calls from unknown callers - they are looking at social media engagement, rallies, media coverage, and a slew of other factors, and they are matching that stuff up against voter demographics (for which they have a lot of data).   New York Times may try to extrapolate a nationwide trend (330 million people) from 700 people dumb enough to answer a phone call. People like Trump have access to trends in individual counties in battleground states.

• Former President Donald Trump failed to impress everyone in a room full of top CEOs this week, multiple attendees told CNBC.
• “Trump doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” said one CEO who was in the room.
• Several CEOs “said that [Trump] was remarkably meandering, could not keep a straight thought [and] was all over the map,” Andrew Ross Sorkin, co-host of CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” reported.

I swear to god, if he wins this election, I am fully in the tank for the Simulation theory.  It just cannot be possible.

If he wins I’ll be shocked and somehow at the same time not be at all surprised.

I’m watching The Dark Knight Rises.

Bane’s speech struck a nerve as I couldn’t help but feel that it’s exactly how MAGA sees the world…..

Take the Harvey Dent talk and put in America / Democracy and it feels eerily like the natural conclusion of MAGA.

Oh we’re headed for some dark times even if Biden wins. MAGA loves America so much, that they’re willing to burn down the Republic. Buckle up

I don't think this is true. I think that the darkest times are ahead though. I also don't think it'll have to do with the MAGA contingent.

I want to believe this, but the fact that so many GOP politicians are enthusiastically falling in behind Trump makes me think they believe Trump will win.  Of course, maybe they are doing that because they think he has no chance of winning, thus they know their support doesn’t mean risking another Trump presidency, so they’re just keeping his base in their corner for the future.🤷

They may or may not think Trump will win, but I don’t think that’s a material part of their decision to gargle the orange balls. They are doing it because all GQP voters are slavish members of a cult of Trump. If you do anything less than acknowledge him as the One True God, then you are an apostate and will not have their support. If they want those people to vote for them, that have to show them “I’m in your cult too!”
It’s pathetic, they’re simps who would swear allegiance to Satan and buttfuck a baby if they thought it would get them elected. There is no group in American history more spineless and pathetic than modern GQP politicians.
