The crowd is of course nowhere near as utterly massive as it was during the weekend (where on my way to the golf simulator there was a line that was out the door) but there’s a healthy amount of people coming in and out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so too, for the most part, but I also recall Lee Baca going to Fed Pen, despite the fact he was diagnosed with Alzheimers. The push will be more to seize all oh his assets and make him watch his life's work collapse. That being said, he's still pursuing this election because he really believes he's going to be buried under a prison if he doesn't win. In some respects, his perchance for being openly racist and derogatory on stage would be counterproductive to this, but it is both in form to his rotten character and speaks to his belief that the same deranged people that followed him on Jan 6 will defend him just as vigorously. He clearly exhibits the properties of a man leading an insurgency rather than a man fighting for a legitimate presidency. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the other swing states we can see votes cast by party affiliation, but not GA. PA is very interesting to watch, because the % dems who cast votes already is 60% Dem to 30% Republican, where the average around most states is more even at 30% or so each. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted October 28, 2024 Share Posted October 28, 2024 https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-watch-maker-investigation-wyoming-b2631311.html Donald Trump announced last month he is selling “truly special” Trump Watches priced up to $100,000 and constructed with “premium, Swiss-made” materials. The watches were part of the latest merchandise push by the former president. The Republican nominee for president wrote on his Truth Social platform about the devices and how “you’re going to love them.” He added: “Would make a great Christmas Gift. Don’t wait, they will go fast. GET YOUR TRUMP WATCH RIGHT NOW!” Now, the watchmaker's origins are in question after CNN tried to track down the company behind the devices. They aren't based in Switzerland, but their address returns to a strip mall. In Wyoming. Next to an HR&Block and a Wendy's. Even the address for TheBestWatchesOnEarth LLC was questioned by CNN's report. The address the watchmaker listed is a daycare. It's also the same address used by a lobbying firm that represents Montenegro's Government. The location is also tied to an LLC that sells male enhancement honey. It’s also the address given for the company behind Trump’s golden sneakers... The watch company LLC was created on July 29, just months before Trump began promoting the jewelry. The honey company that lists the same Wyoming address as TheBestWatchesOnEarth LLC, uses a similar name, TheBestHoneyOnEarth. Vladimir Dmitriev, a spokesperson for the honey seller, told CNN that the company is “highly reputable.” Dmitriev also told the outlet that he “received direction from our leadership” not “engage” with news agencies until after Election Day. This doesn't surprise me one bit. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belize Posted October 29, 2024 Share Posted October 29, 2024 I'm amazed by how horrible Trump supporters are, and this guy follows a pattern that I've experienced with them in real life. You start arguing with them, and it quickly escalates into "I hate you so much, I wish you would die". Like that's the last stage of a Trump supporter. I think it's their final form. It's also why my life improved greatly improved when I started excluding them from any social interaction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackrose321 Posted October 29, 2024 Share Posted October 29, 2024 Pennsylvania officials rebut false voter fraud claims from home and abroad Quote A video of someone ripping up supposed Trump votes in Bucks County is fake and likely originated from Russia, while Trump supporters in the state falsely accused a group of nuns of mass voter fraud. The nuns replied: Quote “We want to call Cliff Maloney to account for his blatantly false post that accuses our sisters of fraud. We do live at Mount Saint Benedict Monastery and a simple web search would alert him to our active presence in a number of ministries in Erie,” prioress Sister Stephanie Schmidt wrote. “We also want to alert those who subscribe to X and other social media platforms to be vigilant and seek additional information before accepting these posts as truth.” Democratic Pennsylvania Governor Al Schmidt publicly thanked the group for “standing up to election disinformation.” Maloney’s original post claiming fraud remains up on X. He later wrote that his claim was part of a good faith effort to ensure fair elections and that “if the 53 people registered at this address are legal voters… then I encourage them to participate in their right to vote” while adding “once we have proof, we will be content.” But Maloney Baloney is still not convinced that the nuns are real people. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early voting was stupid easy, I don’t know why anyone votes on Election Day unless it’s the only option. iirc, mail ballot is the only way to vote early in PA. None of these ballots get counted, under a stupid measure by the PA Republican legislation, until election day. However, a greater percentage of Republicans this time are doing mail ballots, so I doubt it'll be the same exact stupid claims as last time. In PA, there is incentive to vote on election day because you 100 percent know your vote is counted right there as the ballot gets fed to the machine. However, I had to wait 2 hours to vote in 2020 and got covid a week later. Fuck that, not going through that again.
