Look, I hate to break it to you, Duke has a drinking problem. There are many resources available but the first step is admitting the problem.

She has run a tremendous campaign. Absolutely tremendous. The fact that she went from not in the race to a dead heat with one week left is incredible. It really is. And the messaging has been pretty good along the way. Not perfect, but pretty good.

She's not getting nearly enough credit for this, and it's true. In the weeks leading up to Biden dropping out, there was all this concern about her ability to close the gap and lead the ticket, and all she did was secure the nomination in 48 hours, silence the doubters inside of a week, close the gap in a month and hold it closed, and on top of it all bolster support for the entire downballot slate without any major fuckups to the extent that instead of losing four seats in the Senate and 5-10 congressional districts, Democrats will probably only lose two seats in the senate and could possibly take the house. She can't fix 47.5% of the electorate, but she's done everything else. 

100%. In that time I've gone from grudgingly planning to vote for Harris to looking for a reason to run through a wall for her, a la our Horns and the 2005 team being ready to run through walls for VY the goat.

That's my President, y'all.

Caleb hasn’t quite perfected Blue Steel. Time in stir should afford time to hone his craft.

My 18 yo does a frighteningly good Blue Steel. No machete though.

Lol. "treasure digging." What, they are uncomfortable with the word "Grave Robbing?" That's the bridge too far. Also, how the fuck did the church lie about Smith's polygamy? It was...pretty fucking out in the goddamn open considering he had to re-align the entire "chruch" mid stream to make it happen. Fuck, Brigham Young hated the idea but he eventually fucking went whole hog for it as well. 

They lied about everyone's polygamy until after Joseph Smith's death and the move to Utah. Here's an 1844 quote from Smith addressing his congregation.

Quote

“What a thing it is for a man to be accused of committing adultery, and having seven wives, when I can only find one."

He had at least 32.

Many people were excommunicated for investigating Smith's polygamy. Fawn Brodie is the most prominent example. 

Brigham Young was a genocidal, racist piece of shit. He was completely on board with polygamy the entire time. He had 4 wives while they were in Illinois.

Once they got to Utah, Young admitted Smith practiced polygamy, because he was using it to justify his own, now open polygamy. When they were forced to stop practicing polygamy openly by the United States government, polygamy went underground and the Mormons began to cover up Smith's polygamy. 

Until the internet exposed it as a lie, Mormons were taught that polygamy was necessary to get them from Illinois to Utah, because there were too many single, and older women. 

They didn't admit Joseph Smith's polygamy until 2014. 

https://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/11/us/its-official-mormon-founder-had-up-to-40-wives.html

The "treasure digging" is separate from the grave robbing. 

Joseph Smith claimed he could use his "peep stone" to find buried Pirate, or Spanish treasure (in upstate New York). He defrauded multiple people and was convicted, so he had to change the scam. 

Finding buried treasure became finding imaginary buried golden plates. Using the "peep stone" to find the treasure because using his rock to "translate" the imaginary plates.

Hi there we're Fox News and we're herding like everyone else:

 

Nobody knows shit about fuck

It's all herding.  When even Nate Silver says there's 100% herding going on, you know that's what it is.

Fox News polling is separate from their editorial\propaganda bullshit... or at least it has been traditionally. 

Except they fired the guy most responsible for whatever authenticity was ascribed to their polling.

I know it is.  But it is not immune from herding because they have a reputation and don't want to be wildly wrong.  

Calling this a tossup and every state is Harris +1 to Trump +1 just means you can say "it could have gone either way!!!!!!" 

The 7 swing states are not going to be 0-1 point races when all is said and done.

congressional boundaries have to be simple geometric shapes comprised of straight lines with fewer than 6 sides.

 

6 to 8 sides but a side can follow a river, county boundary, major road, etc.

He will uphold the true results, but he's still a POS. He won't help steal an election after the results are in, but he has no problem implementing rules that hurt minority turnout.  He's still willing to put his finger on the scale for his side, but not corrupt to the point of faking election results.  We're still lucky he won his primary. The other person would have been a true Trump cultist.

FL keeps getting more red.  They have made big strides with the Latino vote by equating democrats to Cuban socialism.  We'll see if they pay a price for the racist MSG shit though. 1.2 million Puerto Ricans and over 500k Hatians in Florida...
