U.S. Politics, November 2024: GARBAGE DAY!!

cleaning brush is just dipping it in a cup of water iirc

Well Rand Paul was mowing the yard when his next door neighbor attacked him.

Didn't Trump have a quote during his time in office about clearing brush after massive fires out west?

man that pete article is great. i know he's easy to make fun of, but he's really used his office to make big changes

xpost yes, he wanted to rake the forests

like they do in Finland

iirc the presidential clearing of the brush trope dates back to reagan, w was just copying

yeah I’m not posting the chainsaw pic

Amazing:

just give me the 1 mill and I'll make this go away Elon

lol hes so random

I kind of feel like “by chance” is me finding some money on the ground, a “random” pick is definitely some lottery “you gotta be in it to win it” shit.

recall there was someone who worked with musk who said he knew nothing about how american politics works didnt vote didnt even know when election day was

he endorsed the republicans in 2022 and then forgot to vote himself

I was told there would be no math

clearly an immigrant who refuses to assimilate into American civic life

good stuff

tbf if they can turn out imaginary voters thats pretty good for them

"SHOW ME WHERE IT SAYS...."

I noticed a few "Putin/Trump 2024" signs up on the way to work

this is what ive gleaned from just tweets: the cops killed the squirrel because it bit one of them and they needed to find out of it had rabies, the owner was a gay porn guy and the squirrel was running around while he had a boner in his videos, and now the right wingers are mad

Then there are these handmade signs that just say WEIRD and have pictures on Harris and Walz on them. Yeah, you got us.

cant even come up with their own zings, sad

MAGA are always Pee-Wee Herman when it comes to insults

yeah usually their whole thing is to DARVO the democrats on exactly the thing they themselves are guilty of eg "fake news" "garbage" etc - to be fair it works a ludicrous amount of the time

Gentlemen we have to close the imaginary vote gap!!

a bunch of poll guys including both Nates and some actual pollsters are all coming out this final week to go "uhhh something may be off here"

This late course correction puts them in an interesting position. Trump wins, they say "oh, we were right in the first place." Harris wins, they can say "oh, we were right to course-correct."

The polling industry is a helluva drug

I've also started seeing "Pennsylvania for RFK Jr." signs. Wonder who's putting them up.

the election has to end i can't take this squirrel shit

Why can't a dead gay porn squirrel story just be a dead gay porn squirrel story?

this squirrel thing is some dumb crap that exists only on twitter and also, was bill ackman ever a smart human being?

iirc the presidential clearing of the brush trope dates back to reagan, w was just copying

there is legitimacy to this, and slowly more places are coming around to the necessity of controlled burns to clear out highly flammable dead brush, which was not being done sufficiently AFAIK. But it doesn't matter because when Trump said it he sounded like a fucking moron.

i have nothing against the gays, porn, or dead squirrels mind you

when i was a teen a friend of mines cat brought an infant squirrel into his house it was pink and its eyes werent open yet he recovered it from the cat and raised it to adulthood then released it back into the suburbs

and it grew up to be Marco Rubio

thats right

election too long

Everyone in America has an aunt like Ann Selzer and an uncle like Nate Silver. Nate talks loudly all night long until Ann chimes in with a totally brilliant point to undermine him. (Also, Nate talks with his mouth full and Ann made all the desserts)

getting "Beto calf cramp" vibes from that Hoggart tweet

So here’s the thing … pic.twitter.com/X9En85Qw1Z

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 4, 2024

people are now antivaxx for pets? WTF is happening

On Sunday, former President Donald Trump's running mate Ohio Senator JD Vance told a crowd at a Sanford, North Carolina, rally that Trump was "fired up" about the death of the squirrel.

"He was like, 'You know, is it really the case that the Democrats murdered the Elon Musk of squirrels?'" Vance added.

What?

my god passed right over Bullwinkle jokes to this shit

they know this is just something else we're gonna make fun of them for, right?

like your pants fell down already but now a hawk just came and snatched the boxers off of you

The Trump campaign really wishes the squirrel had been eaten raw in front of its owner, but when the last day of voting is just hours away, you can't be choosy. You have to use whatever stories the news cycle offers.

What is happening

xxpost And then the park rangers tried to tranquilize the hawk but missed and hit you in the balls

this campaign is just like the talking dog in Up

It truly is a compelling closing message to like 10 people who are online 24/7
