New poll: 62% of Democrats prefer human extinction by meteorite than for Trump to win re-election

A new poll conducted by the University of Massachusetts shows that 62 percent of Democrats in New Hampshire would prefer for planet Earth to be struck by a meteorite that ends the human race than for President Donald Trump to be re-elected in November.
As The Hill reported, the "Sweet Meteor of Death" Twitter account, which is said to fantasize about the end of the world via a meteor strike, praised the poll on Friday.
Although the poll's sample is of only 400 voters, the results show the degree to which some on the political left have been radicalized in recent years, a phenomenon commonly known as "Trump Derangement Syndrome."
'We're losing our damn minds!'
As TheBlaze's Carlos Garcia reported Friday, even veteran political strategist James Carville has expressed concerns with the mental state of many in the Democratic Party.
"I don't know. We just had an election in 2018. We did great. We talked about everything we needed to talk about, and we won. And now it's like we're losing our damn minds," he said.
'It's not how you become a majoritarian party'
The former advisor to Bill Clinton added that Democrats have to "step up their game" and moderate their views or else they will lose in 2020.
"We have candidates on the debate stage talking about open borders and decriminalizing illegal immigration. They're talking about doing away with nuclear energy and fracking. You've got Bernie Sanders talking about letting criminals and terrorists vote from jail cells," he noted.
"It doesn't matter what you think about any of that, or if there are good arguments," Carviille argued, "talking about that is not how you win a national election. It's not how you become a majoritarian party."

A majority of New Hampshire Democrats said in a new poll that they would rather a "giant meteor strikes the Earth, extinguishing all human life" than see President Trump reelected.
The University of Massachusetts Lowell survey of 400 Democratic voters asked which candidates they would support in the state's primary Tuesday, with former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) tying for first place at 23 percent support.
But voters were also asked in the online survey conducted by YouGov: "Which of the following outcomes would you prefer occur on November 3, 2020? Donald Trump wins re-election or A giant meteor strikes the earth, extinguishing all human life."
Sixty-two percent of Democrats picked the meteor, while 38 percent chose a second term for Trump.
The viral Twitter account Sweet Meteor of Death, which fantasizes about the end of the world through a deadly meteor strike, praised the poll on Friday, writing "SMOD2020" or Sweet Meteor of Death 2020.

Fuck those polls. If they want to die in lieu of having a president they don't like, die on your own terms. Don't bring the rest of humanity into your squabble.

Pfft. I remember the "Sweet Meteor of Death 2012" memes from republicans as a running joke about both Romney and Obama.
Pretty sure somebody made a "SMOD/Yellowstone Caldera 2012" campaign sticker.
edit: Jesus, the democrats even have to steal old memes from republicans

LONDON (Reuters) - Spotify has made playlists and a podcast for dogs to listen to in their owners’ absence, after finding that nearly 74% of UK pet-owners play music for their animals.
The Swedish audio-streaming business company said it has launched a podcast featuring soothing music, “dog-directed praise”, stories, and messages of affirmation and reassurance narrated by actors to alleviate stress for dogs who are home alone.
Meanwhile, playlists aimed at pets offer tracks selected by algorithms to match pets’ characteristics such as energetic or slow.
Spotify said it found in a survey that one in four pet-owners play music for their pets to listen to for company when they are away from home, with 42% of owners saying their pets have a favorite type of music.
A quarter of pet owners said they have even seen their pets dancing to music.

That's not a bad idea. I leave Criminal Minds reruns on TV for my dog when he is home alone and I would like to get him to stop with his serial rape and murder habits.

This stuff actually helps out tons if you have dogs with separation anxiety issues. I listen to music fairly often in my home and have found that if I leave one of my own playlists running while I’m out, it eases my pups tremendously. They fall asleep listening to Fleshgod Apocalypse at low volumes.

Love the idea so I went to the website and made a playlist: https://pets.byspotify.com/
It sorts music you already listen to by energy level. Might help me make my own playlists, but my poor dog deserves a break from my shitty indy music while I'm gone.
The Podcast they made looks more promising, you can find it here: https://open.spotify.com/show/0STnwcEaUq6mdrs4EKLyux

Illinois suspects enter Walmart with 'Caution I have the Coronavirus' sign, spray Lysol on produce
JOLIET, Ill. - A 19-year-old man suspected of spraying disinfectant inside a Walmart in suburban Chicago while announcing to startled customers that he was infected with the new coronavirus turned himself in to police.
Tyler Wallace, of Joliet, was scheduled to appear in bond court on Friday afternoon after turning himself in on Thursday, the Chicago Tribune reported. He is charged with misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct, retail theft and criminal trespass to property. A 17-year-old boy who police allege was with Wallace at the store last Sunday was arrested on misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and criminal trespass.
Police allege that Wallace put a surgical mask over his mouth and put a homemade sign on his back that read “Caution I have the coronavirus,” then walked through the store spraying Lysol on clothing, produce and other items, causing nearly $10,000 in damage.
Police do not believe that either teen has the new virus that has sickened more than 31,400 people worldwide and killed more than 630 people in China.
“It appears to have been a prank that went too far,” Joliet Police Sgt. Chris Botzum said.

It's not a meteor when it hits. Also a meteorite is too small to destroy the world. It would take an asteroid. Or perhaps a comet.

A California lawyer was busted by ATF agents for allegedly selling a number of unlicensed guns and methamphetamine, authorities said Monday.
The suspect, Melinda Romines of Anaheim, acted as a middle man for black-market arms dealers, buying the weapons then re-selling them to customers, the ATF said in a statement.
In one of the deals, she allegedly sold a .40-caliber pistol, an AR-style rifle and a silencer to a buyer in a Los Angeles parking lot in 2018, the agency said. Both of the guns had their serial numbers scratched off, according to the statement.
In another parking lot a few months later, she allegedly sold another illegal .45-caliber pistol in a deal that made her $900.
A month later, she and an accomplice sold close to a quarter-pound of methamphetamine in two drug deals, the ATF said.
She was indicted on one count of conspiracy to engage in the business of dealing in firearms without a license, one count of possession of an unregistered firearm, and two counts of distributing methamphetamine, authorities said.
Romines could not immediately be reached for comment early Tuesday.

It’s unclear what the men were fighting over.
Quarterman fled the restaurant after the attack, but was arrested Monday and charged with attempted murder, the report said.

When you voted for Obama but you just can't stand those weird orientals and their languages. It's much better to have Americans voice over it.
Maybe that 'Democrats are the real racists' stuff had some accuracy after all...
