It All Comes Down To This: Days Left To Preserve American Democracy | Talking Points Memo

Depends on hard and long they kissed it based on how he throws some folks under the bus.

Omg, totally. It’s both hilarious and sad that he’s such a liability that they have to wait until after the fact to tell him anything.

I think you’re right. My main concern is in how the courts intervene to prevent the vote count afterwards and of course the less mentioned attempts by foreign actors that we’re not getting much info on prior to the election to mess with the registration of voters or whatever else they may be up to. Still holding my breath…

Wait a minute: are you saying the Lord our God is a social justice warrior? Baal would never be such a feel-good, liberal hack!

Hopefully the tallies on election night will be leaning blue enough that trump will have to insist on counting ballots past Nov. 3rd. It would completely nullify all the pre-election shenanigans.

Yes, I’m of the same opinion: all this constant noise about running to the courts will peter out because there won’t be enough there there to do otherwise.

Biden has something like 4,000 lawyers ready to pounce on all sorts of bullshit the syphilitic GOP wants to pull. And they certainly will, but it won’t be enough. Just ask their wives about that.

What an idiot. That’s a joke, right? You know Al Qaeda literally means “the base”. That’s how he describes his own domestic terrorists and many of his adjacent-aligned followers, as his ‘base’.

If Trump wins, we’ll have half a million deaths from Covid by next summer. And no plan. NO FUCKING PLAN. Not even PRETENDING there’s a plan. How in hell is this even close? Forget the “death of democracy.” We’ll just have death. Plain, old death.

Around here (Northern Indiana), the places with the Trump signs indicate that in general, the residents are very fearful people.

The house across the road from the barn has long had a sign nailed to a tree that sort of dares people to trespass and displays a picture of a gun. Now it displays a large T flag.

Other T properties are behind mounds of dirt (OK, I can understand “sound barriers”, but still…) or set way back among trees, house barely visible, with iron gates and security cameras.

There are VERY few political signs up here in the “rural/exurb/posh suburban/Repub” part of the county. Those that have down-ballot signs do NOT also have T signs.

(I have not explored the residential parts of South Bend or Mishiwaka. They are fairly solid Dem-majority cities.)

… and …If Trump wins, we’ll have 80% of the President’s effort and attention focused on extracting that 10X level of vengeance that he craves …upon every individual that the psychopath thinks slighted him in any way …

We will vote. He will lose. He will leave.

Can’t wait to hear him pronounce the name of the country this happened in

Surely the teleprompter will spell it phonetically to ensure no slip ups

I’m hoping to lose 300 pounds of ugly fat by Nov.4.

Hah. Well, you don’t have to be a religious person or very spiritual person to subscribe to some of the dictums that turn out to make total sense. Its the basic foundation for all Talmudic jurisprudence, and thus developed into the pursuit of equitable legal reasoning in general in our modern day legal system, as is the Code of Hammurabi that came down to us through the ages. Think of it as history, man.

Eh, whatever. It works for me anyways.

Yes.

For me, I think that a turnout swell is less likely for an incumbent with such awful favorability numbers than a comparatively likable former VP.

And there definitely is a swell
