President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Showing that she too has a liplock on Trump's hind quarters. Did everything but say "we'll have something major to announce in two weeks."

 

And coming up next on Trump TV, the MyPillow Guy! ARod, perhaps?

 

Yeah, well, I'm like sick of lower-tier celebrities like you and Der Trumpanauer having power and influence when all the doctors and scientists and teachers are treated like the jokes you are, man.

 

Well, every year should be historic turnout simply because of 3-5% increase in eligible voters. The only years it went down from the previous election were 1944 (understandable, with so many overseas), 1988, 1996 (only recorded turnout of less than 50%) and 2012.

Odd stat: Even though 2008's 129.5M votes between the top two candidates beat 2016's (128.8M), the total votes cast in 2008 (131.4M) were far below 2016's turnout (138.8M).

 

It amazes me that these people think everyone on the left is wishing and praying for thousands of deaths and for millions of people to fall into poverty every day. They're the patriots!

I'm not sure how they're the patriots when they suckle at Putin's teat, but I digress.

Here is a compilation of Facebook posts by this Ohio man who foolishly and proudly berated masks in April and then contracted COVID-19 and died on July 4.

I post this only to make note of the "Ha Ha" emojis following his posts.

1,103 "ha has" after he says he has symptoms and is being tested (vs. 305 "sad" emojis)
1,869 "ha has" after he says he's in quarantine after a positive test (vs. 485 "sad" emojis)
2,416 "ha has" after he complains how he's completely out of breath just sitting (vs. 821 "sad" emojis)
2,537 "ha has" after his last post the day before he died (vs. 947 "sad" emojis)

I know the "I told you so!" temptation is off the charts, but people basically had three choices: Ignore it, post a sad emoji or post a laughing emoji. Three-quarters of people who chose to respond did so by laughing.

If that's not rooting for death, it's sure taking a perverse pleasure in it.

 

It’s just embarrassing how few people vote. Certainly many states have tried to reduce access, but I don’t understand how turnout isn’t closer to 80 percent.

 

I wonder how much Electoral College plays into that. As in, what would compel a Republican in California or Democrat in Alabama to vote (other than state races)?

 

It’s a fair point, but it’s not like the numbers are different in swing states.
