US Politics, September 2024 -- “I’m Not Going to Apologize For Posting a Joke”

She/Dems would have to monumentally fuck up at this point not to win, I think.

Can't overstate how vehemently I disagree with this. I think they have had to have surefooted success after surefooted success just to get to the point of having a roughly 50/50 shot.

i think the polls are wrong again

She was up 6 in another recent national poll, which means even a polling error and the electoral college wouldn’t save him

???

Sources with direct knowledge have spoken with Carolina Journal on the condition of anonymity and said that Robinson is under pressure from staff and members of the Trump campaign to withdraw from the governor’s race due to the nature of the story, which they say involves activity on adult websites in 2000s.

“The main ones I remember were that they were alleging he made some extremely racist comments about Martin Luther King, referred to himself as a Black Nazi and used antisemitic language referring to Jews,” Williams stated in the text message.

pressure
pushing down on me
jacking off online
doom boom ba beh

Some major drama is shaking out in NC's gubernatorial race. Sources tell me a CNN story is forthcoming. Robinson's two campaign events today in Vance and Warren counties have been cancelled. Robinson's closest advisers & Robinson himself aren't taking my calls for comment. #ncpol

mail ballots out tomorrow in NC btw lol

this guy gotta have the biggest number of bombshell stories ever

oh yeah, I remember when we permabanned that guy

read that as "closet advisors"

Robinson is a gaffe machine for sure

One more on Lucky Charms guy

Amazing use of his Rumspringa.

robinson has done some crazy stuff and not cancelled events before. this should be a good one.

It's too late to remove his name from ballots. But I guess tonight is the official deadline to replace him as GOP nominee.

wow

good luck fuckers

It probably helps Republicans if somebody, anybody else is running in this race. On the other hand, I think a new normal where parties constantly dump shitty candidates who are losing because they suck is probably an overall good, will tend to make campaigns shorter, might actually improve quality of elected officials, etc.

This is clearly good news for Trump/Vance in NC. Harris is doomed!

Carolina Journal is a GOP-funded news outlet, so the NC GOP is essentially making a public call for Robinson to drop out.

That said, with ballots already delayed once due to RFK, and military/overseas ballots going out TOMORROW, seems WAY too late for Robinson to be replaced. https://t.co/jUZGIqpN2D pic.twitter.com/t2DkI2jHfA

to have the party journal call for him to step out when it's obviously way too late, must be pretty bad.

sorry i thought replacing primary-elected nominees late in the game was a "political coup"

apparently if they succeed in formally replacing him today then his replacement gets his votes :-(

Curious if "adult website activity" and "I'm a Black Nazi" are connected - was he doing cam shows in 2008 jerking off while giving the fascist salute?

they're gonna have to get a state court involved i bet to get him off the ballot.

Sounds like he was using his real name on a porn forum

So far he's not giving any indication that he wants to drop out

Just like a GOP trooper.

If what I’m hearing is correct, this story will nuke Robinson’s already dwindling chances of flipping termed-out Democratic Governor Roy Cooper’s seat. Rumor has it the story has to do with sexual and race-related comments Robinson made on several online chat rooms.

love the 1974 Good Housekeeping font

Living up to their name, I guess

NEW: @Uncommittedmvmt will not endorse Kamala Harris, citing lack of shift on Israel.

BUT — they're urging a vote against Trump, saying he'd "accelerate the killing in Gaza." They're also urging people to "avoid third-party candidates that could inadvertently boost his chances."

Whatever happens in the North Carolina gov race today. Trump will always have said this about Mark Robinson as he endorsed him.pic.twitter.com/AmqZebgjDH

xp So.. Harris then?

they're asking voters to write in Biden

Using your govt name on a porn forum is the weirdest possible behavior

An interesting interview with Tester from MSNBC last night. The shift in Democratic rhetoric around abortion is totally justified, but for those of us who were alive in the 1990s, fucking stunning. I really hope/think this is gonna be a major boost to D candidates across the country this year.

The ad is also interesting because I thought it was messaging "common wisdom" that whatever you repeat the most times is what sticks with people, even if you intended it to be negative. When that ad ended, all I remembered was Tim Sheehy, Tim Sheehy, Tim Sheehy.

Sheehy? Ugh. Blow-ticious.

Creepy Harry has good news:

The past 24 hours have featured some of the best polling for Harris of the campaign... Harris has as clear of a path to 270 than she basically ever has... pic.twitter.com/9NFlp0bnQR

i like harry. he reminds me of one of the dead end kids or one of those wisecracking GIs from brooklyn in an old WWII movie.

North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson's office at state legislative building cleared out — CBS17 https://t.co/MZbheuLTst

— NewsWire (@NewsWire_US) September 19, 2024

lol that's just an office move

the internet never forgets

Robinson spokesman Michael Lonergan says it's a "complete fiction" that the candidate will drop out.

they always say that

“Forcefully defending the artistic merit of anal gapes with fellow connoisseurs should not disqualify the candidate.”

kudos to CNN for letting this story hang out all day

either this is qualitatively different and worse than all the other stuff, or this is a last ditch internal ratfucking media manipulation effort to get him off the ballot
