Pack it up guys, Biden has it, Cenk Yugioh says so. Oh hi Dame Pesos.

Trump has five rallies planned today:
11:30am Fayetteville, NC
2:00pm Scranton, PA
5:00pm Traverse City, MI
7:00pm Kenosha, WI
10:30pm Grand Rapids, MI

I'm not seeing anything listed on the Biden site. Had to go to a news article to find that he's going to be in PA today and only make two appearances:

Beaver County is right next door to Pittsburgh. I see Joe is really putting in a lot of effort to get out and campaign.

I put it in the doom thread, but that "meeting with the African American community" is actually a fundraiser. He has one rally scheduled for Ohio on the eve of the election.

Low effort, low turnout, doesn't give a shit about the public.

Didn't they say that last time? And if I recall Trump just built a wall and did some economic protectionism. "But wait it's for real this time?" I'm sorry, that just sounds so insane that I think you are just a troll now.

TDS does that to people, like some weird MIB mind-wipe style shenanigans.

Heaven forbid we get Civil War 2, that would be the spark that would light the powderkeg. In that even I'd just let California and Oregon leave the Union and be the Ireland of the USA.

Real talk, if he's commander in chief for Civil War 2, it's not going to look anything like CW1 and it'll be over in a matter of days. Trump wouldn't be the type of guy to fuck around with that.

 

[Smug Chuckler]

Real Talk there won't be a second civil war if most people are fat / dumb, are afraid of a cold, and want to spend all day sniffing each other's farts on social media and complain about problems that they won't do anything about.

You're both right, yes if Antifa tried to form a military it would be a catastrophic failure for them.

What I fear in a "Trump stole the election" scenario is that we start dealing with IRA style terrorism. And I wouldn't put it past the living devil George Soros to fund them thru shell corporations. All you'd need for "freedom fighters" are people who truly believe they're fighting Hitler (aka your average Redditor) and that shit could go on for years, maybe decades.

I say let's just amputate the cancerous California and be done with it. But no dual citizenship. You get two years to either move in or out of People's Republic of California and then you're either a Californian or a US Citizen.

I don't know how to tell you this, but we're probably going to be dealing with that anyway.

No negotiating with terrorists, it's a bad idea, and on top of that making concessions to the left is kind of how we got here. Can't dig your way out of a hole.

The Dems are going to get absolutely slaughtered by their base and public opinion if Biden doesn't win because he did so little campaigning.

They're gonna have to answer why but they can't say his brain was tapioca because then they'd have to admit they knew. They can't say it was the pandemic because they also didn't do much digital campaigning. And they can't say they couldn't do in person campaigning either because they are in fact doing a few of those.

There won't be if society stays relatively prosperous. If a depression hit hard enough that people weren't fat anymore, that would change very quickly.

Also the definition of "civil war" is variable. Something like the Irish Troubles is much more likely than a repeat of 1861 with pitched battles.

Yeah, I guess that's just true. I will never forgive The Democratic Party and the garbage media for radicalizing a solid portion of America.

And the most absurd aspect is that this Administration has committed the smallest amount of alleged "injustices." You're mad because he separated 500 children from Smugglers? That he couldn't prevent a pandemic that has fucked up most of the world? He couldn't magically train cops into being able to stop all conflicts without bloodshed? No US President has been held to such an absurdly high standard.

Styx vlogged to undecided voters to vote Trump.

One Youtuber even quoted him.

Makadidu
”Trump is not the bigot, not the fanatic, not the insane man that he’s cast off as by a bunch of billionaire multinationalists that control the entire corporate legacy media apparatus, and have deep pockets and have their hands down the the pants of most of the legislators”. Great quote Styx!!

Trump reads a poem called 'The Snake'

Hilarious, but one of the many shorter versions would have played better for Trump's style, I think.

One winter a Farmer found a Snake stiff and frozen with cold. He had compassion on it, and taking it up, placed it in his bosom. The Snake was quickly revived by the warmth, and resuming its natural instincts, bit its benefactor, inflicting on him a mortal wound. “Oh,” cried the Farmer with his last breath, “I am rightly served for pitying a scoundrel.”

Moral

The greatest kindness will not bind the ungrateful.

I just feel obliged to mention that the Al Wilson cover is amazing.

Nice.

Its a good lesson regardless of the format, and a sound lesson to be had as a foundation of your decision making. Too bad we don't invest in a classic style of education anymore.

 

[axfaxf]

just heard on my national, eurotard news, that some dude quoted 538 and "Drumpf only has 10 %, omg omg omg, it cant go wrong!"

i seem to remember, Hillary had a 93 % chance in 2016, and now somehow Biden´s lead is even bigger. math. its hard

even if Drumpf was literally Hitler, i want these cunts to fail and look even more stupid

Disagree, the odd, out of character poetry reading is different and memorable.

Pennsylvania Secretary Of State Updates Guidance, Orders Ballots To Be Counted If They Arrive Late
​

Democratic Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar issued guidance Sunday ordering ballots that arrive by Nov. 6 to be counted, with the Trump campaign calling the change-up “calculated.”

Boockvar issued the updated guidance ordering that ballots received during the three-day extension to be counted “as soon as possible upon receipt of the ballots.” This includes ballots postmarked on or before Election Day, as well as ballots that lack a postmark but are presumed to have been mailed by Election Day.

Justin Clark, Trump’s deputy campaign manager and senior counsel, called Boockvar’s decision “calculated” in a statement to the Daily Caller.

“Secretary Boockvar’s new guidance – a mere 36 hours out from Election Day – confirms Democrats’ true motive: stealing this election from President Trump with late, illegal ballots,” Clark said. “On a Sunday evening, when the Secretary thought no one was watching, she went for her calculated bait-and-switch.”

“She is blatantly attempting to steal this election for Joe Biden and the Democrats,” Clark added.

Boockvar’s last minute switch up comes just days after the U.S. Supreme Court refused to expedite Pennsylvania Republicans’ challenge to a Pennsylvania state Supreme Court order that allowed ballots received up to three days after the election to be valid even if they lack a postmark.

The court refused to expedite the case on the understanding that Boockvar would issue guidance ordering county election officials to “segregate ballots” received during the three day extension period.

Boockvar complied with the court, issuing guidance on Oct. 28 ordering all ballots received after Nov. 3 to be kept separate from all other ballots in case the Supreme Court rules the ballot extension is unconstitutional.

“The Secretary continues to defend the extension to ensure that every timely and validly cast mail-in and absentee ballot is counted,” the Oct. 28 guidance read. The guidance noted that since the issue is pending before the high court, election officials must keep those ballots separate, leaving them uncounted.

However, the Nov. 1 guidance now allows the segregated ballots to be counted.

Pennsylvania is a battleground state for President Donald Trump, with a new poll from Ipsos showing Biden with a 51% chance of winning the state.

Pennsylvania is likely to be the tipping point state here, so this is a major deal.

Yeaaah, best case scenario, Trump wins enough electoral votes without having to touch PA.

Oh for fuck's sake...

 

[Tomboy Respecter]

Honestly I don't see how this won't go to SCOTUS, which I guess is the silver lining for Trump.
