Another day another plot by republican terrorists to kidnap a sitting governor. This time they were going after one of their own.

Confused is thinking airports existed during the civil war.

Revolutionary War. During the civil war they actually did use aircraft. They were balloons, not airplanes, but they did have some fairly important use. The Union even had a balloon corps!

Not that it has anything to do with the ignoramus in chief's view of actual history. Pretty sure he isn't aware of which century the Revolutionary War was fought in.

These people are some real nutters:

On October 22, a group gathered in front of the Ohio statehouse as a woman swore an oath of office and declared herself governor

The woman also reportedly said DeWine was now on "house arrest."

Freaking Rasmussen bringing down the 538 polling average by half a point...

In the poll where they have Trump +1 nationally they have Trump with 44% African American support and Biden only 77% Democrat support.

SEEMS LEGIT

Well, I made it through 14 minutes of this....person. Never seen her "debate" anything before, but my god she's irritating. Buzz phrases spewed out non-stop, no attempt to engage on any actual points. If this is the best the right can come up with, I actually feel sorry for them. Well, maybe not sorrow, maybe pity. I'll be sure to avoid her in future.

The only thing I found weird about the entire exchange is Brian Tyler Cohen not discussing Biden's achievements as Senator and President. But I think at that point he was just like, 'this woman is too stupid to debate, so let's just leave it at that'. But yeah, apart from that, she's an idiot.

Nate Silver commented on that specific poll along with the Trafalgar Group polls as well.

They pulled the Trafalgar poll from their average. The Rasmussen poll remains...

Yesh. There's a lot of strong Biden polls added today, so let's see how things rolls out. Honestly, I'm not worried about the polls. Just vote. Vote.

Polls are a good indicator etc, but ideally what's going to make a huge difference is an astoundingly high turnout.

[kaelleria]

Yesh. There's a lot of strong Biden polls added today, but the Rasmussen one hasn't even affected the average as of yet. The graph is as at 25/10.

Check again... It's in there.

How seriously are both parties taking the election?

Biden sent Obama to Pennsylvania.

Trump sent Melania.

"So, it's the same speech, then?"

Yes, Melania is going to the famous Pennsylvania town of Atglen, where --

"The fuck?"

How have you not heard of Atglen? The population is like fourteen hundred whole people!

No seriously, this is likely the most central location the could get to pull in rural voters. The event will be hosted by Kellyanne Conway and will be the first I can think of where someone who caught COVID will host someone else who caught COVID and I can't wait to hear those questions get addressed.

Incidentally, while Melania handles Atglen in all its glory, Trump will hit several other states. He's low on options, he has very few people he would trust on this kind of task, but still, with PA being so important, you'd think he'd do more than drop her off and keep running.

I am somewhat driven to wonder how much of a pull hearing Trump’s mail-order bride eastern-bloc third wife will be for rural Pennsylvanians, Trump-leaning or not.

She's pretty and claims to be religious.

PSA: Most Cosplay Leftists are really just fans of particular podcast.

They really have no depth of knowledge of how US politics work, or how elections even works.

It's just a stupid performance for their online personas.


All the "woke leftists" pretending to vote for Trump or against Biden, are this guy:

Stop shaming the non voters guys, it might hurt their imaginary ballots.

Yeah, I was arguing with one of these guys on Twitter (I know, I know) and when I linked him an article that disproved his point (with facts, not opinion) he didn't respond for two days. I went to his timeline and looked at his responses and he linked the article I linked him to Tim Pool asking for how to deal with it.

Then I put him on Mute.

People should really just do the same thing here; it would save a lot of pointless scrolling.

Yah, dude. I edited my post probably just after you read it. Hadn't done my research.

I got banned off Twitter for telling Kristi Noem that her gun should backfire on her whilst she pheasant hunts.

[CastletonSnob]

Trump supporters on Twitter think Trump will win in a landslide, when 1. Every credible poll shows Biden winning by almost 8 points, and 2. Trump didn't win in a landslide in 2016, and has only gotten less popular since then.

They really are delusional.

[Benggaul]

I got banned off Twitter for telling Kristi Noem that her gun should backfire on her whilst she pheasant hunts.

I got banned for reminding Ann Coulter that she got me banned for calling her a cunt when she celebrated the deaths of illegal immigrant children. This time it was in response to her saying she was sick of people policing language on Twitter. *comedically exaggerated shrug*

They really pretend to be. Also how many of them are bots?

I have no regrets for what I said. I hope her gun does backfire.

Biden confuses Trump with George Bush.
He is reaching dementia levels not thought possible before

Yo, how do you feel about your guy raising the white flag of surrender to a pandemic? I mean, there are obvious jokes about the party made up largely of people who still find the Confederate flag a sign of "patriotism" once more surrendering in the face of adversity as they realize they're unprepared to deliver on their lofty goals, leaving hundreds of thousands of Americans dead as a result.

But are you cool with this? Just like, giving up?
