President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

FileNotFound:

I think you're right, and don't have a good feeling about Georgia.

But it's a good problem to have when you have a better chance of winning Texas than Georgia or North Carolina.

 

Polls in Georgia seem to swing back and forth between Biden +2 and Trump +2. So that's a tossup if anyplace is. By contrast, North Carolina polls have pretty consistently given Biden a 2 or 3 or occasionally 4 point lead. Best one I've seen for Trump is a tie. Again, that's anybody's game.

 

Barr taking a page from Sessions' playbook; so Pompeo and Hillary's emails? LOL

FATUS is toast...with orange marmalade.

 

I dunno, a guy coated head to toe in shit-smelling foulness stumbling in out of the dark at ... I dunno, 3-5 am or so ... to bang on the door at a cheap hotel seems like a hell of a risk to take that somebody (ie the hotel clerk) would call the cops.

And somehow or other he'd have to get his hands on a car fairly fast. Unless those half dozen banks were located within a 800- yard radius, he'd have a hard time getting to them all before noon.

Now that I think about it a little more, my idea of Andy having a contact on the outside makes more sense. Maybe somebody Warden Norton had fucked over in a business deal? Andy would have known where the bodies were buried and who would have been pissed off? Maybe Fat Ass had relatives in the area?

The secret contact could have given Andy a place to clean up the morning of his escape, allowed him to "steal" a car to blow town, reported the car stolen a day later (by which time Andy would have been halfway across the country).
"Randall Stevens" stops and ditches the car in Columbus, Ohio, buys another car for cash at a used car lot, and he's off for the border.

Of course, he'd have to set up another fake identity pretty fast because his Randall Stevens identity would have been blown as soon as it was discovered that Norton's money was gone.

He had to have some kind of contact or accomplice on the outside to work out burying the box for Red under the oak tree in Buxton under the volcanic rock.

 

I would think that he arranged to rent a nearby place and/or deliver a change of clothes to a nearby address.

 

How could Andy have visited a dozen banks that day without being caught? Even with the warden's complicity, totally implausible and no wonder the movie flopped at the box office.

That, and prison rape.

 

That's probably the thing that pissed me off most. Those directions to Red were so vague there is no damn way he could have found the correct place.

 

He got to the banks early in the day before his escape had been widely reported. There's nothing unusual about a guy in a business suit walking into banks, and in 1967 they didn't have video cameras in every bank office.

 

Yeah, unless Red had been there himself. I suppose you could make up some story that Red had worked at the Buxton farm on one of Norton's "slave labor" crews and thus knew about the stone wall, etc etc.

 

Polling question - they only get the opinions of people who will pick up the phone from a number they are not familar with, right?
