    Here's a little light Sunday reading, if you're tired of making fun of Trump's 1% expected rally turnout.

    Miiiight want to be careful with posting that here. It may be borderline, but it can be seen as advocating piracy.

    That is the explanation.
    It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

    I think the high point of the rally for me was Pence closing his speech by saying, "Let's Make America Great Again, Again." Yes, you're reading that correctly.

    They've utterly abandoned "Keep America Great" because even these piece of shit liars can't say that with a straight face, and they're re-treading "MAGA, again." How does anyone take this shit seriously?

    6200 people? We get more for a Sabres game 41 times a year, and the Sabres have sucked for 10 years, in a town of 200k.

    Also, if protesters were "blocking the metal detectors," how come I didn't see any protesters on TV? Surely FoxNews could have caught this on camera, the devious actions of antifa disrupting the rally, right? Oh, right.

    I smell blood in the water. I wish we had someone like Rahm Emmanuel at the plate right now, because he'd eat these dumb motherfuckers for lunch.

    The article not only has wanna see the video? but also links a second wanna see the video? of Trump saying one million people had requested tickets.
    The worst part for him was that his supporters did not appear to have any anger directed toward Biden. In 2016, he always received huge ovation whenever he said "Lock her up." There was no such big antagonistic moments toward Biden from his supporters during the rally.

    It’s why he is selling Biden as the puppet of the extreme left.

    Someone on Twitter also pointed out that even if the K-Pop stans and TikTok users didn't actually depress turnout, what they did do was flood the Trump campaign's information gathering arm with junk data that they have no way to sort through in a cost effective manner. This rally was a waste in terms of measuring potential voter enthusiasm, to boot. Whether or not there were actually a million signups or if Parscale was fudging the numbers for Trump (or somewhere between the two), this is the sort of debacle which gets campaign managers fired. Especially when the only thing the news is talking about regarding your rally is how underwhelming it was.

    Then there's this article that points out the lack of a significant delta between live (i.e. with an interviewer) polling and online polling data seems to indicate that the "shy Trump voter" isn't actually...a thing. It also highlights that Biden is gaining voters, rather than it just being a function of Trump hemorrhaging them - and that even broken down on a per state basis Biden still averages a lead in excess of 9 points of where Clinton was at this point in 2016.

    And to cap off this three scoop sundae, we have former Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko giving a public denial of ever being approached by Biden about Burisma.

    From what I saw, I don't think his supporters were buying that. Their reactions whenever he brought up Biden was pretty lukewarm. Not to mention "Biden is a puppet of the extreme left" just does not have the same catchiness of "Lock her up."

    CNN's now definitively saying people are not going to vote for Trump? That's unexpected, I wonder what their predictions were in 2016 and how that worked out for them. Oh right, they totally failed and lost any semblance of credibility.

    And in other shocking news, the guy that apparently colluded with Quid pro Joe and his son denies any collusion. That sounds 100% legit and raises no questions whatsoever! We can finally put this matter to rest!

    No the injury transferred over to the knuckles of his right hand. How horrible of an injury it must be that it can magically move around the body much like the magical mole of Prince John in Mel Brook's Robin Hood: Men in Tights movie.

    I'm sorry, these graphs don't show the same picture... at all.

    The picture on the bottom has more blue pixels than red pixels, just like the photos from Trump's rally last night.

    well its hard to claim someone is "a puppet of the extreme left" when you constantly beat on them for the crime bill in the 90s that the GOP loved just as much ( both the bill in 1990 and 1994 passed with less than a hand worth of people voting no)

    so, if it came up today instead of almost 30 years ago, do you think the average GOP voter would be for it, or against it?
    "Law and Order", lots of places have had that, Russia, North Korea, Saddam's Iraq.
    Laws can be made to enforce order of cruelty and brutality.
    Equality and Justice, that is how you have peace and a society that benefits all.
