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

Am I to understand that all the posts about peanuts are about a squirrel?

Boy did I pick a weird time to check in on this thread.

New York Animal control seized a man's pet squirrel and racoon for no discernible reason than "We are fucking evil" and murdered them.

Imagine if Trump manages to break 100 million votes?

It would make Californians kill themselves in large numbers.

Isn't he in the latest Call of Duty game?

No I think the current Call of Slop is set during Bush Dad term in OG Desert Storm.

- They completely got away with it last time, why wouldn't they do it again

No covid, and nobody is willing to believe Harris is more popular than Trump.

This is the reason Trump v Biden 2 was good. Turns out Kamala v Trump is an even better matchup.

I honestly have no idea what to take from the Selzer poll, that flip would be insane if real. Like they have a great track record, but it’s so wild and away from everything else.

not that great of a record. she's sold out this year. already spike one poll that had trump up 15 points earlier this year.

New York really has gone to shit.

It would make Californians kill themselves in large numbers.

I don't want Californians dead, I only want to watch them cry if Trump wins. I've already got a mug to collect said tears ready to go.

What could be the last news cycle before the election is being dominated by a martyred squirrel.

This feels like a weird political factoid from an election in the 1880’s. “The nation was enraged by the seizure and euthanizing of a beloved pet, which subsequently drove turnout in key demographics.”

Never change America.

Arizona I thought was going to be a harder sell than Florida or Texas (compromised by big cities and population growth), especially with Kari Lake being so far behind. Minnesota I thought would be more blue.

Atlas was the best pollster in 2020 fwiw

More seething about Musk.

Musk tests the role of money in U.S. politics with multimillion-dollar effort to back Trump

I'll take, "Who are George and Alex Soros" for 500.

Also Trump, as opposed to Biden and Obama, lost money in office. Something something insider trading something something lobbying.

Had to go to Michigan last night to watch my sick brother. I drove through Wayne and Oakland counties there and Washtenaw on the way out.

Big thing I noticed is a lot more Harris signs on empty lots. Trump signs get fucked with and are more diverse (border, prices, and what not). Drug stores seem to have Harris supporters throwing like ten up there for every one Trump sign. Neighborhood political signs vary but in a lot of places it’s one-to-one or Trump signs with the he more liberal neighbors not showing support for Harris.

Not really a poll or whatever, but observation. Lot of big Trump signs.

Squirrels are entertaining for me and my cats. I saved one from being trapped in my empty pool. I used a broom to get it out. Also, will we get a state funeral for the squirrel?

a posthumous medal of honor will be presented to peanut for his service against the glowies.

Reading into early votes can be problematic. Hillary Clinton won the EV in North Carolina in 2016, but still lost the state. We don't really know what the ED vote might be.

Apples and oranges.

Democrats prefer to vote early. If Democrat early vote is lacklustre, it means they're having turnout problems

 

[Jade Philosophies]

I love how they show an AI-generated JD Vance at around 1:20 despite most of their supporters being vehemently against generative AI in any context. Guess it's (D)ifferent when their side uses AI slop.

EDIT: Looks like the entire video is AI slop.

Has Gavin Newsom condemned it yet?

did New York misunderstand what No Nut November was?

Golden casket and national news coverage for an entire month, if it's good enough for one animal it's good enough for another.
Also for analogical parity let's put the person who seized the squirrel in jail to get shanked as well.

Unlike the Democratic nominee, Trump knows how to market and advertise himself to the people. Kamala on the other hand can do neither.
