rolling “Trump is gonna win” containment thread

plus he always states what his goal is 5 minutes after he does something and then 10 minutes later says he was taken out of context and then five minutes after that admits to it again

when i heard they were fucking with the post office, i thought it was just another republican thing, kneecapping it to pave the way for privatization. didn't know he's been talking about this for months.

I usually get lucky by voting early but the pre-COVID primaries this year they cut early voting locations by 50% so my expectations are not good. At least it's November so I can hazmat suit that shit if necessary.

and then 10 minutes later says he was taken out of context

even better, usually a spokescreature says he was taken out of context and the fake news media are the real racists for suggesting he said it, and then he doubles down by saying "no I really meant it, also brown people smell"

this is all thanks to Sam Beckett never leaping back home

fucking with the post office is just one of those deliciously bad stances I’m glad the Republican Party has also decided to fold into its “inclusive” tent.

I was so upset in March when Biden won. Now I will happily crawl through a 100 yard latrine filled with coronavirus to vote for Biden in person. Fuck Trump.

I haven't been inside an enclosed space other than my home since March and had no plans to do so for the foreseeable future, but if there's any legit indication that my absentee ballot might not get counted I will absolutely be voting in person.

I don't think he's fully internalized how deeply people loathe him and how desperately they want him gone.

Same.

SAME.

same, this Post Office shit has just infuriated me to the degree that I am more than willing to risk Covid to vote in person

i voted in person with for the new york primary. obv the lines will be longer for the pres election but it was quicker than a trip to the grocery store and probably safer

so did i, and i had a similar experience. i will say that ny did not do universal absentee very well, i requested my ballot way in advance of the deadline and it came in the mail the day after the election.

One question is whether we'll see massive reductions in polling places the way there were in some recent primaries or if states will be able to staff more. My instinct tells me it will be less bad, but maybe not by much.

i think it will depend on the state.

georgia is gonna have one polling place in the whole state, and it'll be in marietta.

Although I registered to vote by mail, the early voting site -- my local library -- for our local primaries was so quiet that on a visit last week I said fuck it and voted. I felt completely safe and was out in three minutes.

The Washington Post today summarizes all the pre and post election fuckery they are planning: Pre and post- election lawsuits in swing states, recruiting people to " watch ballots be counted", etc.

think this can only backfire on Trump

WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP SAYING SHIT LIKE THIS

CUT IT THE FUCK OUT

honestly i think an important thing to do is be mentally prepared for the idea that this is going to continue all the way to january 2021. it doesn't mean it will certainly happen, or that we're doomed. but that sense of catharsis that so many people are looking for probably isn't going to come in a single moment on november 3

c'mon rush it's not like dumb shit like this doesn't backfire on him all the time

how'd the Ukraine/Hunter Biden thing go for him

i am just tired of people who have no particular knowledge or expertise on a subject making PREDICTIONS unsupported by any empirical evidence whatsoever and this is what passes for "political discussion"

The Biden/Ukraine thing didn't hurt him? If not for COVID the Senate would have been in 24/7 session discussing it and might be in October.

Why does he want to be president so bad when he despises America? If i was a 75 year old billionaire with a beautiful wife and young son I’d focus on having a fulfilling retirement.

He could golf, take guitar lessons, teach Barron about the real estate business. There is no reason to spend his golden years ruining all of our lives.

what makes you think he cares about his wife and son?

Are you asking rhetorically?

Why does he want to be president so bad when he despises America?

He wants to be President so he can siphon money out of the country and into his accounts while flexing power against the people who mock him.

Just a thought donald—i know you’re lurking.*

*i do know this by the way. dm me for my source.

Like it's pretty obvious to even a casual viewer that he is a damaged megalomaniac who cares for nothing except attention and money and pussy.

Exactly. He's president to enrich himself, and whether it's 2021 or 2025 he's start his own Trump network, which will eventually go bankrupt and he'll leave the debt to somebody.

Who would want more money when they’re already a billionnaire?

Obama made fun of him on stage, so now his life has to be dedicated to showing us all he's not a LOSER who'll sit down and take that

is he a billionnaire?

I agree that making predictions esp in the year of our lord 2020 is folly

Who would want more money when they’re already a billionnaire?

Why didn't Warren Buffett retire to a private island after his first billion 50 years ago to snort experimental healthy cocaine off perfect butts for the rest of his life?

(my assumption is usually some kind of mental illness, but it could be just a lack of conscience and soul)

Big Mac face was reportedly worth $2.1 billion back in April.

Who would want more money when they’re already a billionnaire?

Why do you think billionaires are billionaires in the first place?

Aside from maybe athletes or performers/artists, anyone who could spend a million dollars a year for the rest of their life without going broke but continues to dedicate their life to the accumulation of wealth is a soulless monster who can never be trusted.

Milo, thanks

That line of Bernstein's from Citizen Kane has served as a lodestar:

"There's no trick to making a lot of money if all you want is to make a lot of money."

i am just tired of people who have no particular knowledge or expertise on a subject making PREDICTIONS unsupported by any empirical evidence whatsoever and this is what passes for "political discussion"

there's also no evidence this will help Trump. there's plenty of evidence that fucking with the mail system is going to piss off a lot of people. this is bad because Trump has a very established ceiling. he can't afford to lose any of them.

to snort experimental healthy cocaine off perfect butts for the rest of his life?

i kind of want to start keeping a list of hypothetical heaven scenarios

i mean hey, if jeff bezos wants to sell off amazon so he float in endless circles in a pool of expired pudding while nano-bots gently tug upward at his nipple hair, that's his right

Why would a virus rage on until it's killed the host it needs to survive?

Because gimme, that's why.

Gimme.

he isn't good at anything else. he's arguably not good at making money, either. but he thinks he is, and that's what people think he's good at. what else is he doing to pursue? good conversation?? lol

he likes to cheat at golf

plebs dream about making a ton of money so they can finally not have to work and do whatever they want. trump has always been able to do whatever he wants. there's no extra fulfillment in quitting "work" so that he can go do whatever he wants. he's always been able to do that

He is what happens when you cross 'sucks shit at everything' with 'possesses a bottomless well of spite and the will to keep drawing up the bucket'.
