Will Trump Keep In President?

In fairness it was also reported in Snopes and Forbes. Plus, it’s just fun to imagine him dying

for what it’s worth, intermittency is easily solved by building giant fans that continuously blow air directly at the energy-generating turbines

I believe that his outer coating may have begun to wear off before his weekly reapplication, revealing his true form underneath.

Fuck the mail. Gotta do this the old fashioned way

That is a good message, but it's a Tweet, so actually it's bad

[MyOneAndOnly]

i don't use tweeter. I copy tweets that are posted on FB

[Disco King]

Acceptable

Does that stand for For Boomers?

Trump Campaign site has been hacked

Weird how the Trump administration is laughable at information security, and yet WikiLeaks has not managed to find and publish any dirt on them 🤔

It's because everyone who opposes Donald Trump is a secret pedophile, and God chose him to own the libs.

This shit is scary. Statistically, Trump only has about an 11% chance of winning the election (he had a 33% chance in 2016), and in a bunch of important states Biden is up well beyond nothing short of a colossal polling error.

However, PA is the most likely tipping point, and there Biden is only slightly above the margin of error. A polling error comparable to the one in 2016 could deliver the election to Trump.

almost like this isn't a democracy

I don’t need this kind of pressure on my state. I have zero faith in this dump.

We have delayed ballots that still haven’t been received by people who requested them. We have warehouses full of votes that won’t be counted until Election Day. And our state has refused to count any late ballots.

So I’d say things are going well here, yeah.

[duovamp]

My hope is that TX somehow goes blue and stays blue and PA is completely irrelevant for a dozen election cycles, that way I don’t have to see another fucking political sign ever again.

Almost all of the polls were consistent with Hillary Clinton winning the popular vote, but didn't account for the completely shit ass backwards way that the electoral college system allocates those votes.

FTR, she and trump were polling around dead even the weekend prior to the election. And I think 538 was showing Trump with a 30% chance to win the electoral college in 2016.


Both of them were polling under 50% nationally. I think the aggregate for her at the time was something like 47% popular vote. And in those midwest states that swung BARELY to trump, he didn't even get a majority of votes. Stein and Jonson combined got over 200k votes in Michigan. Trump's plurality in Michigan was only 11k votes more than clinton.

There were 4 states last cycle where trump and Clinton were separated by less than 1% total popular vote. Trump won 46 electoral votes from these 4 states without ever winning a majority....

Michigan, 0.23% – 16
New Hampshire, 0.37% – 4
Pennsylvania, 0.72% – 20 (tipping point state, including two faithless GOP electors)
Wisconsin, 0.77% – 10 (tipping point state, excluding the two faithless GOP electors)

things are very different this year. If he somehow wins the electoral college I don't think it's going to be because he has more support than polls suggested. It'll be by cheating, throwing out ballots, etc.

He has been talking with state legislators in Pennsylvania and several other GOP controlled states about throwing out all of Bidens potential electors, and sending Trump electors to the Electoral college, which would be total legal.

If he stays in office, that's how he'll do it.

[smashingjj]

ouch

[yo soy el mejor]

everyone knows chicago is super fucking segregated, right? well, in affluent white neighborhoods people hang black lives matter signs in their windows and lawns as a symbolic gesture in lieu of evaluating their complicity or continued participation in exploitation and racism. anyway, no one on my block has a BLM sign displayed except one house we pass on the way and back to the grocery store.

walking home last week though we saw someone had thrown a brick through that window and it really ground my gears. we live in a mostly black neighborhood (a smattering of latinos) so they don't need to tell each other and themselves that their lives matter but i can't imagine who could have thrown that brick. a white person during the day would have stood out if they were breaking windows, but no one who is frequently on this block would have done that. plus, now they have to pay for a new window (and it's a big window) and it's getting cold.

it's just sad

[buzzard]

If Trump loses, it'll probably be more down to the same effect that had people eventually tire of seeing Miley Cyrus poking her tongue out than any sort of sociopolitical epiphany.



Ideal timing for the shift, though.

I wonder whether the cops will crack down on these law breakers???? I'm guessing no

Caravans of President Trump’s supporters blockaded the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge and the Garden State Parkway on Sunday, snarling traffic on two of the busiest highways in the New York metropolitan area just two days before Election Day.

Videos taken by motorists showed the president’s backers parked in the middle of the westbound lanes of the bridge, which carries Interstate 287 across the Hudson River and is named for the father of the current governor, Andrew M. Cuomo.

A number of them exited their vehicles in the rain and waved Trump banners and American flags as motorists honked their horns.

Trump is moving storm troopers into "Democrat Cities"

Over 100 personnel from the Justice Department’s Bureau of Prisons, as well as others from the Marshals Service, are preparing to mobilize to the streets of Washington, D.C., for confronting potential election-related unrest, according to a document acquired by The Daily Beast and confirmed by the BOP.

https://www.yahoo.com/now/barr-preps...195000877.html

“Look, it’s called insurrection. We just send them in and we do it very easy,” Trump told Fox News in September.

Such statements have caused concern among Americans because troops aren’t supposed to participate in U.S. law enforcement according to the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act. The reason Trump has used the word “insurrection” is that the Insurrection Act is an exception to the Posse Comitatus Act, giving the president the power to send in troops to quell “domestic insurrection.”

“There would be no added benefit of federalizing Guard forces [for the election],” said Army Maj. Gen. Jeff Holmes, Tennessee’s adjutant general. “I cannot think of any scenario where we would recommend or ask for being federalized.”
