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

Yeah, this made me tense up.

Seeing some chatter/ads on social media urging third party voting because Biden is ahead. Anyone looking into that? Feels like 2016.

To paraphrase Tommy Boy, what Chris Cillizza doesn't know is what makes him Chris Cillizza.

After what happened in 2016 I don’t think you have much to worry about

I think that's probably right, frogbs.

There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, 'Fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me—you can't get fooled again.

really hope idea of an already given success isn't going to lead to people thinking the vote is already in the bag and staying home.
Would think everybody who could do anything to prevent another 4 years of this mess should see their input counting and necessary and things like that.

i don't think people are going to stay home. the point of that tweet is that chris cillizza is unbelievably stupid.

They say the Democrats are very motivated this year, including the youngins... I pray this is true.

xps: pretty sure it's 'fooled man can't get fooled again.'

Republicans fear Trump's debate comments on white supremacy could harm them in November

This implies they're otherwise fine with them.

duh

La Crosse Mayor Tim Kabat tells me the city's airport has been notified Air Force One will no longer be arriving on Saturday, when President Trump was supposed to hold one of two rallies in Wisconsin this weekend.

— Molly Beck (@MollyBeck) October 1, 2020

Kabat says state sen candidate @DanKapanke inquired about what would be needed for a permit to hold a rally in La Crosse's Copeland Park, where his La Crosse Loggers play, but city said it would be unlikely a permit would be issued because of the COVID-19 situation in the city.

wisconsin is in a bad way with covid. if the GOP are cancelling an event it sounds like it might be bad enough shut down campaigning there until the election.

no kidding!! I was fucking furious that asshole wanted to come here right now!!

Things must have been getting a little too close in Texas... I'd be interested to see the internal polling that prompted this move.

BREAKING: Gov. Abbott issues proclamation CLOSING (as of Oct. 2) satellite offices where voters can drop off completed mail-in ballots.
Counties can only have 1 dropoff point, he says.
Travis has 4, including 3 downtown.
Harris has 12.

— Chuck Lindell (@chucklindell) October 1, 2020

Abbott says move, which also requires early voting clerks to let poll watchers observe ballot delivery, is an election security measure.
Clerks said the multiple dropoff spots were to help voters, particularly amid questions about Postal Service efficiency.

Read the proclamation, which amended Abbott's July 27 order that extended early voting and allowed early dropoff of mail ballots, here: https://t.co/uPc4MtYMis

The president claimed Biden would propose a "700 percent increase in refugees coming from the most dangerous places in the world, including Yemen, Syria, and your favorite country, Somalia."

"Biden will turn Minnesota into a refugee camp … overwhelming public resources, overcrowding schools and inundating your hospitals," he added.

This is really, really dark stuff.

If it talks like a fascist…

Biden launching in-person canvassing

Relevant to Trump's anti-refugee remarks in MN: His campaign is running an ad that warns Biden will increase refugee resettlement "by 700 percent." And it's true - bc Trump drastically cut down on refugee resettlement, so restoring it surges the total. https://t.co/wUJlSVQcii

— Dave Weigel (@daveweigel) October 1, 2020

If not for refugee resettlement, we wouldn't have Jared Kushner.

Oh...wait...

"What is going on with Omar?" he continued, citing unproven claims tying Omar to a ballot harvesting scheme. "I’ve been reading these reports for two years about how corrupt and crooked she is. Let’s get with it. Let’s get with it."

The rally crowd then broke into a chant of "lock her up..."

America at her best.

jfc

somehow every day i increasingly look forward to his death

This alone just caused me to make a donation to Joe Biden.

"she want to tell us how to run our country"

Icky Trump, nothing better to do? Why don't you kick yourself out? You're an immigrant too

christ what an asshole

I hope the date he passes becomes a national holiday so I can hose down his grave every year without having to dip into my PTO.

I keep imagining the huge party in Chicago when they finally pull down those giant ass letters from his building.

Whoa!

MSNBC anchor Ayman Mohyeldin has enough of Trump campaign advisor Steve Cortes baselessly claiming the Biden campaign agreed to earpiece inspections and backed out, cuts off the interview.

Tells him he can come back when he can provide proof to substantiate the claim. pic.twitter.com/eHeKFkXyPR

Scott Adams's weirdly empty shelves make me uneasy

It's like he's broadcasting from a hastily arranged safehouse

Trump must've really bombed it if he's willing to vote for this guy instead:

If Biden is elected, there's a good chance you will be dead within the year.

— Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) July 1, 2020

Did he say anything about voting for Biden?

What you're missing is that Scott Adams actually wants us all dead

He'll be writing in a vote for Dogbert iirc

The Trump campaign appears to be declaring war on the Commission on Presidential Debates in a call happening right now, describing it as biased against POTUS

— Alex Isenstadt (@politicoalex) October 1, 2020

The obvious move here is, if Trump backs out of the next debate, Biden should just show up and take audience questions for 90 minutes.

He's such a fucking baby.

honestly, my fear now is that this asshole is gonna read the writing on the wall and do something completely novel and dangerous: declare war on a country, shut down the stock market, claim that coastal states are seceding... who knows!

and hire a really good Trump impersonator to stand at the other podium and violently shit his pants.

we're only a few steps away from him tweeting that he has the nuclear codes so if we know what's good for us we better fall in line.

"Some people say I might just use this football thing, whatever you call it."

he's gonna bark a lot but there is no way he will pass up being on a high-rated TV event

its quite literally the one thing he actually cares about

well, that and staying out of jail

And rawdoggin' faded softcore stars

And the Gorilla Channel.

There isn’t much silence around his war crimes, or else you wouldn’t be so aware of it, it’s simply that most people are able to sustain conflicting ideas and understand the degrees of nuance inherent in people, and how it’s amplified when are you the commander in chief of most the powerful defense in the world.
