US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

I'm skeptical. People who impact at those speeds basically explode. Most falls (>50%) are fatal over 30 feet. Those falls take a while to kill, but they kill. Scryscraper height? Splat, blam, game over.

and the ones that don't splatter turn into pasta. all the bones are shattered. they will bend like rubber. a meat sack essentially.

Look at the black vote crosstab and remember that's both black men and black women combined: 79-13 I'll bet that means black men are at 18 percent Trump, LMAO.

Hispanic vote 54-37. That's giving Democrats the "panic" in hispanic, for sure.

I don't see how Harris and Trump can be tied 47-47 on the top line when she's only polling 6 points ahead with women. Wasn't it 12 to 15 points ahead a few weeks ago? That means this poll thinks large numbers of men are switching from Trump to Harris right before the election? Press X to doubt.

Even in 2016 Hillary led all polls and most crystal ball readers said she would easily win with a 95% probability. It was fun watching that 95% slowly trickle down to 0% on election night lol.

That was one of the funniest nights of my life. I stayed up until 3:30am just watching the total meltdown. Delicious.

New electoral map, Kamala campaign on suicide watch:

No chance at California or New York, so we're looking at 343 Trump electors if this amazing scenario came true.

But I might literally laugh myself to death if Trump gets 343 electoral votes. I should get a quick cardiac exam and increase my life insurance policy just in case.

These are the people tasked with shooting dissidents on American soil.

I am putting my faith into Bubba Joe with his pot belly.

We also get a damage buff for wearing American flag crocs.
+5 all stats for Texas flag.

If I'm ever at the point where I'm DMing Politispergs on the Farms as a cry for help, I'm going to do myself a favor and just kill myself already. Its over at that point.

Use a gun.

 

[Fapcop]

To be fair to Hillary Clinton, and to every US politician, nice people finish last in this business. You can be a genuinely nice person as a ward councilor or even as a state legislator. Once you start going up the rungs, though, it's impossible to go far unless you have a strong stomach.

I think there are some degrees between: “Not a nice guy/gal who can fight dirty” and “Sociopathic bitch who has caused untold suffering, giggles over people dying and destroyed Libya” like Hillary.

What are you talking about? If anything you'd get the best advice for how to ensure a clean self-kill.

Trump’s campaign exudes confidence as it enters the homestretch​

Former President Trump and his team are entering the final stretch of the White House campaign with confidence he is on the precipice of winning a second term.

Public polls show Trump in a stronger position than at the same point in his previous two campaigns, including in 2016, when he was victorious. And sources close to the campaign have described a mood of “cautious optimism” within Trump’s orbit, citing strong internal data.

Trump, who is known to be superstitious, has been careful not to get ahead of himself for fear of jinxing an Election Day victory. Yet the overall mood in Trumpland has a notably more upbeat note compared to some of the hand-wringing among parts of the Democratic Party.

“The difference between 2020 and 2024 among people in the president’s orbit is, in 2020, people were searching out for any tidbits of good news,” one Trump ally said. “In 2024, people are searching out any tidbits of potentially bad news, because they almost can’t believe how good the data is looking.”

Less than two weeks before Election Day, polling shows an extremely close race. A Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll published Wednesday showed Trump and Vice President Harris separated by no more than 3 percentage points in any of the seven battleground states expected to decide the election.

A Decision Desk HQ/The Hill average of polls shows Harris leading Trump by 1 percentage point nationally. Trump lost the popular vote by 2 points in 2016 even as he won the White House, and he lost the popular vote by 4 points in 2020.

Decision Desk HQ averages show Trump and Harris are virtually tied in the “blue wall” states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, which represent Harris’s clearest path to victory, while polling averages show Trump with narrow leads in North Carolina and Georgia.


While polling results have almost universally been within the margin of error and mostly serve to underscore the closeness of the race, they are also looking better for Trump than at the same time four years ago, when he narrowly lost to President Biden.

A RealClearPolitics average of polls showed that around the same time in 2020, Trump was trailing Biden by 5 percentage points in Pennsylvania, 9 points in Michigan and 6 points in Wisconsin. He was also down 2 points in Arizona, and the candidates were neck and neck in Georgia. Trump ultimately lost each of those states in close races.

Early voting has surged in states including Georgia and North Carolina, both key battlegrounds, as Trump and top Republican officials have urged supporters to embrace the concept despite the 45th president’s previous attacks on mail-in ballots.

Jon Ralston, a longtime Nevada politics reporter, has noted in recent days that Republicans have outpaced Democrats in terms of early voting in the state.


“Controlled optimism is how I would put it,” one Republican strategist close to the Trump campaign said. “They think they should win, but you never know with the ground game. … Further, we are talking about very tight margins in states that all have very different rules about ballot collection and ballot tabulation.”

Another source close to the Trump campaign argued the vice president’s shift in her media strategy over the past two weeks is a sign that her team is aware they need to change the trajectory of the race.

After Harris spent the first two months of her campaign largely limiting her press availability, she has changed course in the final weeks of the campaign, appearing on Charlamagne tha God’s radio show, Fox News, NBC News, Telemundo and a CNN town hall and more, and delivered impromptu remarks twice this week to attack Trump as unfit for office. The CNN town hall took place after Trump refused to accept another debate with Harris.

Trump himself has boasted at rallies that he is up in the polls, disparaged Harris’s intelligence and her quality as a candidate and touted the enduring strength of his support over the past nearly 10 years.

“We’re wrapping up something that has been incredible,” Trump said Tuesday during a rally in North Carolina. “There’s never been anything like this: the rallies, the size of them, the enthusiasm. And we have more enthusiasm now than we did for 2016 or 2020.”

A Trump victory on Election Day is far from assured. Some Republicans are still skittish about the campaign’s ground game, which is relying more heavily on outside groups, including one backed by Elon Musk, to connect with voters in battleground states.

The former president has also spent considerable time appealing to young men, a demographic that could provide him a boost but that historically is less reliable at turning out to vote.

Harris herself has spoken repeatedly about being the underdog in the race and knowing she has to earn the vote of every American. She also has the help of prominent surrogates such as former President Obama and his wife, former first lady Michelle Obama.

For all the anxiety on the Democratic side about Harris’s slippage in the polls, there is an argument from some of her supporters that her strength with women in particular — a reliable voting bloc that makes up a majority of the electorate — could put her over the top.

“I think certainly that in this election, it’s going to be so tight, just from everything we’ve seen from polling, so it’s understandable both sides are a little nervous. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous,” said Sarah Matthews, a former Trump aide who is backing Harris.

“But the one thing that gives me some hope is I think Kamala will be pushed over the finish line by women,” she added. “There are a lot of disaffected Republican women and independents who are concerned by Trump’s character and see JD Vance as a scary continuation of this.”

The highlight: “The difference between 2020 and 2024 among people in the president’s orbit is, in 2020, people were searching out for any tidbits of good news,” one Trump ally said. “In 2024, people are searching out any tidbits of potentially bad news, because they almost can’t believe how good the data is looking.”

I tuned in to Trump's Texas speech and thought I saw a familiar face.

false alarm. not loomer. it's Alexis Nungaray.

 

[draggs]

Her interview couldn't break a million. Doesnt surprise me, because I never heard of "Call Her Daddy", whats that podcast even about?

It's about an attractive young blonde white girl being young and blonde and white and attractive while the consoomers hope she gives another discourse about how sloppy blowjobs are the best blowjobs

The 2nd Amendment should be amended to: "The right to purchase, carry and use any weapon for the purposes of self defence, hunting or sport."

The 2nd amendment needs no update. The government needs to follow its own law.

You could have just said it's a women-led podcast sir.

 

[Fapcop]

It is very normal to imagine anal sex when you see the President talk to the Vice President. You are a normal person.

Absolute porn brain rot. Sad!

And this is coming from someone who has fapped to Tulsi, so my guy @TheSockiestSock get some help. And for the love of god, delete all your bookmarks and THAT folder.

What a whale and a petunia archive after being conjured into existence?

Nah, that lets them rules-lawyer away anything they can argue is only useful for military purposes. The great thing about the second amendment is that it is very simple, direct, and to the point: the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. No caveats, no "except when", no "only for these purposes". Shall not be infringed.

I just wish my ancestors had codified our rights so well and then kept hold of them. I'll be pouring one out for old Guido the week after next...

Really? Kamala campaigned on a sex podcast?

 

[BradCarter]

The 2nd Amendment should be amended to: "The right to purchase, carry and use any weapon for the purposes of self defence, hunting or sport."

The rights come from God, not the piece of paper. The piece of paper is just a promise not to try to remove them. "Shall not be infringed" is perfect. The problem is the local methhead is as trustworthy and honorable as our politicians.

Earlier, I called for this thread to be renamed the US Political Shitposting Thread. I would like to withdraw that suggestion.

I now propose the US Political Deviancy and Shitposting Thread.

Bruce Springsteen is literally a faggot:

https://www.jstor.org/stable/24736780
https://archive.is/xs92M

And he was declaring it to the world on the cover of his Born In The U.S.A. album. Going so far as letting everybody know his preferred sexual act. Wearing something red in your right back pocket (often a handkerchief or key-ring, but a red hat in this case) indicates wanting to be fisted.

I should also lore drop about how Springsteen himself is a huge artificially constructed fool who only is famous when he sings about how he's about to be dropped from his label.

• Bruce's first two albums flopped and would have been dropped from his label had the third album Born To Run flopped; the title track is all about how the album was his last chance to be a musician on a major label.
• Most of the hype for Bruce came from a well connected Rolling Stones writer turned A&R guy who was a huge Bruce Stan and who used to get into shouting matches with Jann Werner about how the magazine needed to get behind Bruce as far as him being the next Bob Dylan.
• BTR bought Bruce a couple of years but Nebraska was a commercial flop even with all of the critical praise it got.
• Once again today he was going to get dropped, BITUSA was written as yet another comeback album but when presenting it to his label, the label told Bruce the album didn't have a hit on it and strongly implied they wouldn't release it unless it had a radio friendly unit shifter on it. Even though Glory Days was conceived by Bruce to be that. And so Dancing in the Dark was written and basically about Bruce's record label trouble and carried the album through the early months while Bruce's media cronies repackaged him for the MTV age as the white male counterpart to Michael Jackson.

I don't see how Harris and Trump can be tied 47-47 on the top line when she's only polling 6 points ahead with women. Wasn't it 12 to 15 points ahead a few weeks ago? That means this poll thinks large numbers of men are switching from Trump to Harris right before the election? Press X to doubt.

CNN was especially egregious (probably the worst of the bunch) about oversampling dem and dem-leaning voters in their polls in 2020. Their final poll had Biden at +12 nationally.
