"Will you shut up, man?" US Politics October 2020

duh

La Crosse Mayor Tim Kabat tells me the city's airport has been notified Air Force One will no longer be arriving on Saturday, when President Trump was supposed to hold one of two rallies in Wisconsin this weekend.

Kabat says state sen candidate @DanKapanke inquired about what would be needed for a permit to hold a rally in La Crosse's Copeland Park, where his La Crosse Loggers play, but city said it would be unlikely a permit would be issued because of the COVID-19 situation in the city.

wisconsin is in a bad way with covid. if the GOP are cancelling an event it sounds like it might be bad enough shut down campaigning there until the election.

no kidding!! I was fucking furious that asshole wanted to come here right now!!

Things must have been getting a little too close in Texas... I'd be interested to see the internal polling that prompted this move.

BREAKING: Gov. Abbott issues proclamation CLOSING (as of Oct. 2) satellite offices where voters can drop off completed mail-in ballots.
Counties can only have 1 dropoff point, he says.
Travis has 4, including 3 downtown.
Harris has 12.

— Chuck Lindell (@chucklindell) October 1, 2020

Abbott says move, which also requires early voting clerks to let poll watchers observe ballot delivery, is an election security measure.
Clerks said the multiple dropoff spots were to help voters, particularly amid questions about Postal Service efficiency.

Read the proclamation, which amended Abbott's July 27 order that extended early voting and allowed early dropoff of mail ballots, here: https://t.co/uPc4MtYMis

The president claimed Biden would propose a "700 percent increase in refugees coming from the most dangerous places in the world, including Yemen, Syria, and your favorite country, Somalia."

"Biden will turn Minnesota into a refugee camp … overwhelming public resources, overcrowding schools and inundating your hospitals," he added.

This is really, really dark stuff.

If it talks like a fascist…

Biden launching in-person canvassing

Relevant to Trump's anti-refugee remarks in MN: His campaign is running an ad that warns Biden will increase refugee resettlement "by 700 percent." And it's true - bc Trump drastically cut down on refugee resettlement, so restoring it surges the total. https://t.co/wUJlSVQcii

If not for refugee resettlement, we wouldn't have Jared Kushner.

Oh...wait...

"What is going on with Omar?" he continued, citing unproven claims tying Omar to a ballot harvesting scheme. "I’ve been reading these reports for two years about how corrupt and crooked she is. Let’s get with it. Let’s get with it."

The rally crowd then broke into a chant of "lock her up..."

America at her best.

jfc

somehow every day i increasingly look forward to his death

This alone just caused me to make a donation to Joe Biden.

"she want to tell us how to run our country"

Icky Trump, nothing better to do? Why don't you kick yourself out? You're an immigrant too

christ what an asshole

I hope the date he passes becomes a national holiday so I can hose down his grave every year without having to dip into my PTO.

I keep imagining the huge party in Chicago when they finally pull down those giant ass letters from his building.

Whoa!

MSNBC anchor Ayman Mohyeldin has enough of Trump campaign advisor Steve Cortes baselessly claiming the Biden campaign agreed to earpiece inspections and backed out, cuts off the interview.

Tells him he can come back when he can provide proof to substantiate the claim. pic.twitter.com/eHeKFkXyPR

Scott Adams's weirdly empty shelves make me uneasy

It's like he's broadcasting from a hastily arranged safehouse

Trump must've really bombed it if he's willing to vote for this guy instead:

If Biden is elected, there's a good chance you will be dead within the year.

— Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) July 1, 2020

Did he say anything about voting for Biden?

What you're missing is that Scott Adams actually wants us all dead

He'll be writing in a vote for Dogbert iirc

The Trump campaign appears to be declaring war on the Commission on Presidential Debates in a call happening right now, describing it as biased against POTUS

— Alex Isenstadt (@politicoalex) October 1, 2020

The obvious move here is, if Trump backs out of the next debate, Biden should just show up and take audience questions for 90 minutes.

He's such a fucking baby.

honestly, my fear now is that this asshole is gonna read the writing on the wall and do something completely novel and dangerous: declare war on a country, shut down the stock market, claim that coastal states are seceding... who knows!

and hire a really good Trump impersonator to stand at the other podium and violently shit his pants.

we're only a few steps away from him tweeting that he has the nuclear codes so if we know what's good for us we better fall in line.

"Some people say I might just use this football thing, whatever you call it."

he's gonna bark a lot but there is no way he will pass up being on a high-rated TV event

its quite literally the one thing he actually cares about

well, that and staying out of jail

And rawdoggin' faded softcore stars

And the Gorilla Channel.

Scott Adams is as self obsessed as Trump. Like he's the fuckimg victim when the president calls on a fascist militia to stand by! He's just another fucking mark and he's upset it's taken this long for the penny to finally drop.

yeah if you read his blog back in '16 (and I highly recommend you don't) it's clear that his love of Trump is mostly because he sees his reflection. underqualified dude who nevertheless used the ~~powers of persuasion~~ to succeed in a field he should never have been in. he is also remarkably thin-skinned and has a habit for just saying shit, the man has no consistency whatsoever. he goes on and on about how dumb metaphors are then compares vote-by-mail to snorting fentanyl. they clearly have the same personality disorder.

Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman have been charged with election-related felonies in Michigan.

i think about it all the time

If he dies now, he'll be a folk hero. I'd much prefer him with a massive stroke, unable to speak. That would be delicious.

Dunno how good this one is but this kinda poll 5 weeks out from the election is pretty fuckin bad for Republicans

Hope everyone has steeled their nerves and laid in a supply of ativan for the polls tightening up over the next few days.

I'm starting to doubt this (mid-debate) prediction is going to happen

Texas is gonna have a statewide single polling station at the Alamo... must wear a ten gallon hat to vote.

^^Joke's on us--it's in the basement.
