It's a clear suppression tactic, and there were only 3 races that matter, everything else was incumbent unopposed.  The other (somewhat) big race was for the court of appeals, Tabitha Ponder vs. I shit you not Jefferson Davis.  

And they say Biden is too old.

That GA election was bad bad. 

Weirdest map ever. Barrow lost a bunch of Biden counties but flipped a bunch of Trump counties. That will probably not be the November 2024 map

Comey has a lotta nerve seeing as how he is essentially single-handedly responsible for Trump’s improbable win.

Charlie Kirk is saying Comey is terrified about accountability for Trump getting elected?

Eat a fat dick, Comey

Not specific to the POTUS election but I keep reading how the Dems have a shit-ton more money than Reps.  However, I see plenty of Trump and GQP commercials but almost none from the Dems.

I don't think that quote is accurate.  We all know that Trump is "looking at things very strongly."

I don't know in which of the four or five threads this should go.  Maybe tap the brakes on that immunity thing?:

As I put in the MTG thread, I’m pretty sure they intentionally went in on a day when they knew he wouldn’t be there. So, you know, not trying to kill him.

Presidential immunity! I don't see the problem.

what if the supreme court waits to rule on immunity until after the election to see who wins. if biden wins, no presidential immunity and trump the two time loser goes to jail. if trump wins, we are all fucked and he can do whatever he wants.

It's always something with these crybabies.

Also, because every accusation is a confession, Joe better really hope he wins in November.

This is 100% the GQP play.  Find random-ass reasons to not let Biden on the ballot at all in remotely contested states.  Do all they can to prevent Dem precincts from voting.  Then after the votes are in, shut down the count, declare "election irregularities," and have a GQP lege or state supreme court declare Trump the winner or at the very least, declare the election "invalid" in a plot to throw the whole election to the House.

We have long since seen our last free and fair election.  The GQP has made sure of it.

Anyone surprised by this is too stupid to walk the earth, and should eat a bullet right now to do the world a favor of taking themselves off the face of the planet.

Bingo.  There is no scenario too extreme.  "Yes, Trump has promised to brutally murder every hispanic and black person in America, as well as everyone who voted against him, and he has already signed contracts to construct the gas chambers, but I blame Biden for gas prices that are back where they were before, and I once saw him yawn, so I have no choice, and I have to vote for Trump."  There's nothing, not a single thing, that he can do to lose their votes.

What I don't think people fully appreciate is that while yeah, there are some dumb fucking voters out there, there are a lot of voters who aren't dumb but love Trump.  I know a few of these, and they have kind of given up all pretenses if they trust you.  They think the federal government is fatally flawed and needs to be broken and rebuilt no matter the cost.  They know completely well that Trump has some horrific traits competing for dominance -- narcissism, sociopathy, stupidity and criminality.  They do not care.  They view his hatchet-man governance as the opportunity to remake the federal government to be something from before the New Deal and all the progressive measures enacted in the last half of the 20th century (civil rights, gay marriage, etc...).

That is their vision of a better America.  And they don't sport swastikas tattoos or shaved heads.  They are directors or VPs at companies whose names you would recognize in Austin, Dallas and Denver.  They are some of the parents of the kids that your kids are friends with.  You've sat next to them at little league games, maybe even laughed together at a (non-political) joke among the circle of dad's at the neighbor kid's birthday party.

This is 100% true.

But the real irony is that they're winners in the present order of things.  Tear down the federal government, and they're likely not to be in nearly as good shape as they are today.  They'll be poorer, less safe, and less healthy.  But they don't get that at all.

An amazing paradox of Americans today is that they all think they're in the top 10% of income earners or wealth (if not the top 1%), but they all feel aggrieved by the "system."  It's just a really weird dynamic that has developed over the past twenty years.

They’re just saying those are the reasons. They probably just love the cruelty and racism.

From Merriam Webster:

Dumb: lacking intelligence STUPID

Intelligence: the skilled use of reason

The people you describe manifest a deficit in the skilled use of reason and could reasonably be described as dumb.

Correct.

They think that what happened to people exactly like them, who facilitated the exact same shit in the quest for personal power, in Germany nearly a century ago.......won't happen to them.

Leopards eating the faces of fucking idiots.  I hate them.  I hate the milquetoast enablers the most, because they actually KNOW THIS SHIT IS WRONG, but they're willing to go along with it for some incremental gain of power/money/vengeance on people who they hate for no fucking good reason at all.  It's so fucking stupid.  So yes, they are dumb.  Very, very dumb.

Maybe they are "smart" when it comes to one thing or another, but they're really fucking dumb when it comes to this.  I don't care if you're the most brilliant heart surgeon the world has ever seen, if you think that makes you qualified to fly a jet with an engine flamed out, you're fucking dumb.  And you're going to crash and burn.  These fucking idiots have mistaken the fact that they've figured out how to do X means they are super-smart when it comes to being fucking nazis.  But....in the end, they're just fucking nazis.  And they're going to take all of us down with them.

What's astounding is that it has never been easier to get information.  

The simple fact is that for greedy and sometimes downright evil people Americans by virtue of the phone in their pocket should be more connected and educated to the state of all of those things mentioned in that poll than ever before in history.....alas propagandists going to propaganda.

Depends on the news.  Is it news or "News©"?

So, if he’s the one to break and rebuild the federal government, why didn’t he just do that last time?

20+ years of Fox News telling them every day they should be aggrieved.  Propaganda works.

Same device for both, one of which comes at a much higher volume than the other by necessity and design.
