For fuck's sake, it came right out of his mouth.  He literally threatened use of the National Guard and "if necessary" the military.

Yeah, but c'mon, man. You don't think he really means that, do you?

Oh, wait.

It’s an opinion piece by a Heritage Foundation guy

The list is incredibly long, but Elon's inevitable very public meltdown when Kamala wins is very close to the top of Things I'm Most Looking Forward To on November 6.

I’ve been watching the guy who owns WordPress try to pull an Elon, and he’s been absolutely melting down.  Kind of a precursor of Elon. A lot more public,

Trump compares jailed Capitol rioters to Japanese internment during World War II https://apnews.com/article/jan-6-trump-japanese-capitol-riot-85573774c03b46f36aadd35d5f0b77ca

Quote

Former President Donald Trump on Friday compared the people jailed on charges that they stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, to the more than 120,000 people of Japanese origin incarcerated on U.S. soil during World War II.

“Why are they still being held? Nobody’s ever been treated like this,” he said in an interview with conservative commentator Dan Bongino. “Maybe the Japanese during Second World War, frankly. They were held, too.”

“The political environment is worse for Republicans than it was in 2020 in a few suburban districts, namely Omaha and throughout Arizona. This is a concern with three valued incumbents: [Nebraska Rep. Don] Bacon, Ciscomani, Schweikert,” Dan Conston, the president of the Congressional Leadership Fund, a GOP super PAC, wrote in a memo to allies obtained by NBC News.

I am watching as much of the turnip rally in Detroit as I can for yall. So far he threatened the microphone which I guess isn't working right.

But they can't contradict Trump because then they need his support. I guess that's the good thing about cults. When the head dies, the cult dies.

At least this whole saga has exposed (to me) the utter bullshit that is the core of modern "conservativism".

Exclusive: Trump ground game in key states flagged as potentially fake

Data suggests canvassers linked to Elon Musk’s America Pac falsely claimed to have visited homes of potential voters

Quote

The potentially fake door-knocks – when canvassers falsely claim they visited a home – could present a serious setback to Trump as he and Kamala Harris remain even in the polls with fewer than 20 days to an election that increasingly appears set to be determined by turnout.

The Trump campaign earlier this year outsourced the bulk of its ground game to America Pac, the political action committee founded by Musk, betting that spending millions to turn out Trump supporters, especially those who don’t typically vote, would boost returns.

But leaked America Pac data obtained by the Guardian shows that roughly 24% of the door-knocks in Arizona and 25% of the door-knocks in Nevada this week were flagged under “unusual survey logs” by the Campaign Sidekick canvassing app.

The Arizona data, for example, shows that out of 35,692 doors hit by 442 canvassers working for Blitz Canvassing in the America Pac operation on Wednesday, 8,511 doors were flagged under the unusual survey logs.

The extent of the flagged doors in America Pac’s operation underscores the risk of outsourcing a ground-game program, where paid canvassers are typically not as invested in their candidate’s victory compared to volunteers or campaign staff.

I have another hypothesis about Trump door knocking (the GOTV kind, not the post-inauguration Gestapo kind).

Accepting the premise that Likely Trump voters are more paranoid and more racist than the typical American, and the premise that an outsourced team is more likely to consist of young people of color, common sense tells me that these interactions might not go as well as Musk would hope, which would lead to high turnover and low morale. So these guys finding ways to juice their stats is not at all surprising.

Carry on, Musk.

Me personally, no. Parents cheered for their school teams when they were still the segregated teams of their childhoods, then kept on cheering for the same teams when they were integrated.

Dad also cheered for the Packers because he played high school ball with Bart Starr. Don't remember any commentary about race of players.

Speaking of Starr:

If paid get out the vote is anything remotely like door to door sales, those fuckers are fudging their fucking numbers in ways hard to verbally describe.

Wouldn’t they get paid hourly?  Do they just sit at Starbucks and use google maps and county tax records to enter names and addresses into their logs?  

You're down to less than a quarter tank. The next name is 10 miles one way in some little bitty town and there are...three others there.

Why yes I did go to Palookaville! It was 4 hours. Pay me.
