this is the dumbest, most pointless, semantical argument ..... in the last 24 hours anyway

Don't act like this isn't par.


Make it illegal for someone under enlistment age to own or possess a gun and go wrath of god on the parents of a shooter or someone caught with a gun under enlistment age

The former, of course, will never happen cuz muh freedoms, and any law to that effect will be overturned (didn’t some Kansas judge just make it legal nationwide to own a machine gun?) and the latter doesn’t really matter without the former

And for what's it's worth--absolutely nothing, just observation--I just drove from D.C. up to Mechanicsburg PA and Trump is convincingly crushing the lawn sign battle and not just in the red districts.

I would call Mechanicsburg, PA the middle of PA. James Carville famously said something like, “Pennsylvania is Philadelphia and Pittsburgh with Alabama in between."


To tack on my earlier post, the other thing concerning me is that it looks extremely tough for Harris to add votes while extremely easy to lose them. Trump could see a new set of criminal charges pop up or any number of things and stay reasonably in it but Harris could tumble with just about anything. I'll at least presume she isn't keeping any email servers at her home but just about any Whatevergate that sticks could easily sink her.

Yeaaaah but it was a long trip, not just looking at Mechanicsburg. It could be that conservatives own more houses are and just really into signs, but I'm just saying it was more lopsided than I would have expected even with the assumptions about the areas being more or less in line with Carville. I'm used to that we have some isolated parts of NJ that are like that too

Trumpers are notoriously obnoxious with their hats, signs, and flags. It's just fantacism.

Yeah, there is a bigotry of low expectations when it comes to Trump and really probably conservatives in general in a variety of situations. For Trump, many of his voters don't expect him to be smart, or competent or honest or hardworking. And if you think he is any of those things nothing could ever change your mind.

Reminds me of Ben Shapiro’s debate with Destiny on the Lex Friedman podcast. Ben said he grades Trump on a curve. That’s the home field advantage Trump has.

Yes I don't know that "happy" is the word I'd use to describe the Dems situation, at least among people with any basic level of awareness. It's still pretty tense.

Maybe I should have said lack of panic? It's a coin flip and people will vote in this election that weren't alive last time Dems weren't a solid favorite at this stage.

not disconcerting at all that he's preannouncing his purge of all political opponents even before he's been re-elected


Getting migrants out will be a bloody story.

The last time Trump aggressively went after immigrants the US
agriculture system nearly collapsed because of a lack of workers.
When he pushed for higher tariffs it started a trade war that really hurt farmers.

It's always projection.
Always.

This tweet should be disqualifying for any sane person.


Are community notes disabled for Trump?


Trump is counting on the election results not being certified.

"Y’all gettin’ this? Prosecute donors? He’s planning to establish his version of the 1930s SS and brown shirts."

I'm genuinely swurprised the left is as happy as they are with their chances, at least based on my impression.

I don't think Dems are happy about their overall chances, which seem to be roughly a coin flip. They're just relieved and hopeful because they somehow managed to pry Biden off the ticket and replace him with an electable candidate.

It really is the perfect word to insert in that post. The man is a genius.

Pre debate, were people in thread talking about prying him off the ticket? I don't recall that at all. Everyone was singing his praises for the most part.

You're the real genius, Shifty. You should come to the IQ thread, we need a real life example of the Trump voters we've been talking about.
