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

Why does everyone care about Iowa? It has like three electoral ones.

As go the children of the corn, so goes America

if Trump loses Iowa the GOP is gonna get blown off the map

yeah Iowa is a bellwether... if it goes for Biden then it suggests there is in fact a blue wave happening. Also the Senate seat is a pretty essential pickup for Dems!

also, speaking personally here, it's important to watch those states because if things appear to be close in a state like Iowa on election night I think you can pretty much assume its over? like everyone else here I'm terrified about what's gonna happen in the wake of Nov 3rd if it's not immediately clear that Biden won

What the fuck

Trump has taped an interview with Jason Whitlock.

can't wait for a 20 minute discourse on Bojanglin from these two mind wizards.

Should have made it a threeway summit with Clay Travis

Seriously trains are awesome, everybody take more trains

Give us lots more passenger trains, so we can take them!

Prediction: I think a big big scandal is going to emerge about misappropriation of Trump campaign funds.

Mark Meadows is already catching heat for spending donation dollars on personal expenses even after he left his elected office to be Trump's COS

Good. It'll give Trump someone to sue and cast blame on when he's at loose ends after losing office.

And speaking of

Sen. Blunt, being — very blunt: Question: Any sense of why Meadows came to the lunch? To sell you guys?

BLUNT: I don't think so, I don't think so.... maybe he just needed to get out of the White House.

Clay Travis = underrated piece of shit in American media

what states begin counting mail ballots on election night

it's all kinds of fucked up though, the're basically going to be saying "you didn't count fast enough, we won" as their attempt to cry foul, even when it's obvious millions of legit mail ballots have been cast

Mitt Romney did not vote for Trump. https://t.co/BHNtD6X6zY

But maybe he did, we'll never know

As much as watching Trump eat shit will be a glorious experience, equally glorious will be watching as all of the people who gave their time and blood and sweat and tears to aid his reelection effort are torn to shreds by Trump himself. I don't know how people haven't figured out by now that having anything to do with him is ultimately thankless as all hell.

Mitt finally got his revenge

i.e. PA and WI will be the last to start counting.

FL and AZ are the ones to watch on the night. they should finish that night, and if they go biden enough for the networks to call them then it's over.

it looks like a shit cake.

Back in early September, Trump weighed spending as much as $100 million of his own money on his reelection bid, according to Bloomberg News. When asked by reporters if he planned to self-fund part of his run, Trump said, “If I have to, I would.”

But the money has not materialized. Trump has contributed just over $8,000 to his campaign this election cycle, according to FEC data. It’s a huge difference from 2016, when Trump contributed $66 million of his own money to his first presidential bid.

Eight grand. Probably just the change from his sofa and junk drawer, taken to Coinstar.

Lol just came here to post that.

It’s certainly possible and probably likely the book is empty but it’s opened to like the third page, certainly not out of the ordinary that page would be blank even in a book that DID have actual content

if inzane johnny from wolf eyes doesn't post my meme to his instagram i'm giving up for good

Trump has never met Giuliani

Is this the October Surprise? https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/nasa-moon-announcement-when-watch-mission-b1209506.html

lol fuck this guy

Sen. Mitt Romney tells CNN's @mkraju he already voted in the 2020 election and would not say if he voted for Joe Biden or wrote someone's name in.

“I did not vote for President Trump,” he said.
