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

Tim Heidecker needs to make a movie about it immediately

I miss posting about NRO:

Esoteric Jeff going Full Trumper a few years after offering a heartfelt eulogy for Talk Talk's Mark Hollis was really disappointing

Such a shame

esoteric jeff is such a funny name

a character in a Joni Mitchell song

god help us if this turns out to be the winning strategy

more good news from PA

This Pittsburgh city precinct voted for Biden 89% and 9% to Trump. It is already at its 2020 turnout levels. https://t.co/BwPSBoSUGr

but how does this hurt Joe Biden?

I don't think he's going to be reelected

Who will tell him?

Give him a chance!

Warning signs for Kamala with massive pro-Biden turnout!

"People are turning out in record numbers in Pennsylvania to vote for Harris, and here's why that means a Trump victory is certain."

Republicans are pushing some bullshit fraud story about Allegheny County. So you know they're probably cooked in PA.

Are they alleghening fraud?

do we get to throw tomatoes at trump if he loses

Tinned tomatoes preferably.

Best Fruit To Throw At Trump Poll

Coconuts are technically fruit, right?

Horseapples obviously

I just call them testicles

CNN has a reporter named Veronica Miracle!

That's all I've got right now.

Updates to follow.

In re: finding and posting quotes from somebody who decided to vote for Trump for a brain dead reason. Paying attention to these people and how they think is just self abuse. We know there will be far more than 65 million votes for Trump. You could draw names of Trump voters out of a hat and every one of them would rationalize their vote in some horrific way. Every one. Just accept that as a fact and stop torturing us by quoting these twerps. kthxbye.

obviously there are a lot of policy and not-descending-into-fascism reasons I want Harris to win but the main thing right now is I want Trump to fucking eat shit, the man has spent nearly an entire decade terrorizing this country and making our collective mental health worse, he's ruined so many relationships and has made so many people I care about afraid, he embodies every single negative trait a human being can have and it has been endlessly frustrating watching him skate on fucking EVERYTHING while all the folks surrounding him go to jail, I so badly need to believe that this man will face even a little consequence for running such a hateful campaign and being such a dogshit person. and watching all his supporters, ESPECIALLY that motherfucker Elon Musk, cry and wail about it will be so fucking gratifying too. y'all have been horrible assholes for so long and have gotten nothing but rewarded for it. for the love of God, I have never seen a man more obviously cooked than Donald Trump is right now, four more years of this would be such a fucking nightmare, we really do deserve to get to watch him go down together

Tipsy, what’re you seeing in your zone?

xp Any of the heavier melons seems like a good pick. Pineapple as well.

Dems just pulled into 2nd Place on Election Day voting in Miami-Dade, with NPAs still in 1st. GOP in 3rd but still hold a 3% edge in total ballots cast pic.twitter.com/baU4QGvmpK

Frogbs OTM

the main thing right now is I want Trump to fucking eat shit,

I mean, it does increasingly look like he's already rubbing it all over his face, so...

Hearing Heather Cox Richardson say “Freeway and Just Blaze” on a podcast just now was something

I imagine they make hip and/or hop

the main thing right now is I want Trump to fucking eat shit

is it mean for me to say that I want this for everyone that votes for him as well?

Human centipede style.

ESPECIALLY that motherfucker Elon Musk

lol gratuitously preceded and followed by endless twitter embeds on this thread alone...

good luck USA & ILX Tesla owners :-(

David Brooks, Ross Douthat, Michelle Goldberg and Tressie McMillan Cottom

‘I Will Be Thrilled to Be Wrong’: Four Columnists Brace for Election Night

There is almost nothing you could get me to click on less than that combination of names and words.

Now why you wanna go and Douthat

I think I saw in passing a pretty OTM sentiment from Cottom in that (I presume) discussion.

Cottom is not like the others. She's the real deal.

I was thinking of this:

xp - Yeah but nothing Cottom has to say can possibly be worth wading though the Brooks and Douthat first.

That's a good quote, but at the same time she's still gloomy enough that she thinks Trump's gonna take it. I believe Goldberg is the only one actually predicting a Harris win.

Cottom said Trump was winning. Goldberg was the only Harris enthusiast.

Tipsy, what’re you seeing in your zone?

TN turnout looks like it's going to be about on par with 2020. I won't be surprised if the state overall trends more red, we've had a lot of people move here in the last four years from CA, NJ, etc all calling themselves "Blue State refugees" and that kind of thing. But also everyone here knows we don't "matter" so it's hard to get people motivated to vote. (TN has the absolute worst turnout in the country, which is how our GOP government likes it.)

But we are all watching our neighbors in GA and NC with great interest, of course.

at one of the voting locations for Temple students and the line is around the block — vols say it’s been this way consistently since the polling location opened this morning!

many in line have told me this is their fist time voting🥲🫶 pic.twitter.com/6kB4JIdlAa

I guess all the focus on PA has really motivated voters. Philly on track to see a turnout of over a million. 2020 was around 750,000.

good good

Roy Cooper (Governor of NC) is saying suburban and female turnout is higher than he expected.
