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

What's going on with Joe Lieberman's son in the Loeffler race?

ad-wise

for some reason I kept confusing Ossoff for Jon Gosselin

Whoof (this is a Rasmussen poll):

fuck leaners

The Hill: Speaking at a briefing for the British strategic advising company Global Counsel, (GOP Pollster) Luntz said Trump’s advisers have “their heads up their asses” if they think Hunter Biden will be a winning issue for them.

“I’ve never seen a campaign more mis-calibrated than the Trump campaign. Frankly, his staff ought to be brought up on charges of political malpractice,” Luntz said.

so should Frank Luntz

So, let's say that Biden wins. I assume there's someone responsible for keeping a running tally of laws that need to be immediately enacted, laws that need to be immediately repealed, emergency executive orders that must be made ASAP, legal/ethical loopholes plugged, and so on?

I'm sure they're ready to go on all the exec-order regulation reversals.

Also, again, this is not an endorsement, but I appreciate the effort:

dope

i was devastated when bernie lost the primary, but now i am excited for election day. not out of any love for biden or harris but because i can't wait for the "trump era" to end.

Shame, really:

House-district polling is telling a grim story for Trump.

I spoke to @Redistrict about all the private data he's seeing.

"Trump is underperforming 2016 margins by 8 to 10 points in most competitive districts," he told me.

Much more in our interview:https://t.co/M2oTmEEAvU

wallogina not aging well

irl

i'm retching / laughing

lol

that's how the real article's pic is cropped, too! here's the full one:

these people are truly our betters

the best of us

as someone who frequently searches for the highest resolution image possible before cropping it to the most intense close-up possible, i can tell you:

image editor did a great job

The age of split ticket voting is largely behind us

Texas deliberately did away with the straight-ticket option immediately after the Beto BluWave in '18. I could see some voters leaving Trump to twist in the wind, but still making time to put in a check for Crenshaw or whatever GOP ghoul is running in their district.

We/I desperately need an updated wallogina comprised entirely of Trump's suppurating little anus mouth.

God, that closeup. Does Trump shave, or use an Epilady?

suppurating little anus mouth

rock over london, rock on chicago

God, that closeup. Does Trump shave, or use an Epilady?

that byline!

I’mma just go ahead and FP everyone having an anus party on this thread

Sadly I am now singing "anus party" to the tune of "TV Party"

If you thought there were unsettling close-ups itt, do yourself a favor and don't click on caek's link.

We've got nothing better to do
Than watch the president's anus mouth as it spews

did you all get lost on your way to the Caligula thread

This thread and the New Yorker thread are neck and neck for grossest of the day, but only one of those is surprising.

Another smashing success!

Apparently there was some drama while President Trump was taping his 60 Minutes interview today. He abruptly ended his solo interview after around 45 minutes & did not return for a scheduled walk & talk he was supposed to tape with Pence, @abdallahcnn and I are told by sources.

Also, they're reduced to this.

Rudy: Even if the Hunter laptop story is bogus, Americans ‘are entitled to know it’https://t.co/l1j5dYJL0b

— Sam Stein (@samstein) October 20, 2020

someone's entitled, alright

Yes, the right-wing line is that the only reason people don't give a shit about LApToPgAte is because the complicit lib media is censoring it.

It's horrible. The laptops. We need to talk about them

I love that the media has a seemingly inexhaustible supply of photos of Rudy making "Whaaaat? Dead hooker? In my car trunk?" faces.

That's a weird way to say "shit in my pants"

i just don't understand why photos of hunter biden with a crackpipe has anything to do with joe biden.

do these people not have family members with drug problems? lucky them.

"Texas deliberately did away with the straight-ticket option "...wait what? Sorry I've only ever voted in California. Do you mean that there are boxes in some places that just say "vote for all members of x party"? that's fucking dumb. Or maybe it isn't, dunno, but I had no idea.

removing the option to vote straight ticket reduces participation in down ballot races, increases spoiled ballots, and makes it take longer to vote. it's a classic voter suppression tactic.

Looks like there are only 6 states that still allow straight-ticket voting. Illinois got rid of it the year I turned 18, so I've never experienced it.

The social media staffer who captioned that photo with a reference to "uniquely granular" data is the hero of the day
