And in normal years that would be the end of it, because it's literally right there in the Constitution that the elections are run by the states. But nope, we have our "originalists" judges trying to overturn literal 245 years of precedence.

Damn those liberal activist judges!

 

Security info request from Trump campaign perturbs Cumberland County officials ahead of election

“Uhhh, no.”

 

Hey Matt Yglesias goes on the Glenn beck show to talk about why nationalism is good, why haven’t you guys canceled him for legitimizing someone's terrible platform?

 

I think most people in here on record as thinking Matt Y sucks lol

 

Because he was actually cancelled like years ago and no one actually likes him lol. He either tweets ridiculous stuff or sometimes tweets a good point and that’s about the extent I think anyone here actually thinks about him.

Though he does occasionally write good articles for Vox.

 

Matt Yglesias has always been awful

 

This lady came into work yesterday in the most obnoxious Trump 2020 shirt I've ever seen. I told her she was wearing the scariest costume I've seen all day. She got mad and called corporate. Regional Manager called me today and we laughed about it.

 

why constantly share his terrible opinions then?

 

Soon we're going to get "propelled lead-based high velocity projectile" instead of "shot".

 

this is the stuff i’ve found enjoyment in the past few weeks. It’s small, and ultimately meaningless, but the satisfaction I get from pissing off trump voters is a tiny, tangible victory.

yesterday a car was stopped at a red light when I was walking the dogs and had a “no Joe” sign taped to the back window. After we had made eye contact, I shook my head and turned away and this older woman started losing it yelling out the window like a crazy person on a crowded street (rehoboth Ave, shout out @David87) as her husband drove away.

after four years of triggering the libs being the only goal, I don’t feel bad.

 

David probably

 

Last two tweets of his I shared today were both good points by him. One dunking on the jurisprudence of GOP judges and the other saying yeah sure Biden should fire and replace the FBI director his first day in office.

If we were just not sharing the tweets of anyone who's ever had a bad take or horrible political skills/intuition, we'd have to stop sharing a lot of leftist tweets in here

 

Lol the town itself is blue too, so I'm sure anyone else around you that may have heard was probably rolling their eyes at her

I think I'd do more to trigger the Trumpers tbh but I feel like I'd just end up getting my car or house vandalized haha

 

officer involved spray of pepper-like substance

 

We can’t get through to David on some issues.

 

Man I wish

 

beats me, i don't do it

 

lol it's depressing because it works on a lot of idiots but, it still makes me laugh how his team will tell him "This group likes _________" or "You need to do well with ____________" and then he just randomly yells out or tweets things that he thinks those groups are supposed to like and agree with.

Staffer: "Sir, you need Cuban expats in Florida to win the state. They really don't like Castro."

Trump: "Biden is a Castro puppet! Vote for me!"

It's especially funny when he just does shit like "i love guns!" or, you know, stands in front of a church holding up a bible.

Right wingers will always scream communism and socialism at anybody left of Reagan no matter what but I truly can't wait until the electorate isn't dominated by a bunch of cold war relics who never learned anything more than "capitalism good, communism bad".

 

One thing i see lately on FB from local people "I wish voting didn't start until after the debates" and "so many people voted ahead of time and maybe would have changed their mind if they knew this Hunter stuff!'...

Should I break it to them that the people that have already voted probably had their mind up already and that is why they already voted?

 

I don't think the Hunter stuff affected a single voter, it was only in weirdly partisan circles and way too convoluted to get any traction. If you think the Hunter stuff mattered you were always voting for Trump.
