President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

No, you'd have gone into Ukraine. You'd have ordered a U.S. Army battalion to roll into Kyiv in tanks alongside Putin, with you in the lead tank waving your sword and honking about the tremendous victory you commanded.

And ... "We," the United States, haven't "gone into Ukraine."

But "We" ... Russia ... have.

 

Stuff like this makes me cringe. I mean literal jaw drop., eye twitch, head-shaking cringe.

 

Somebody ought to send this guy's wife (assuming he has one), a video about Lorena Bobbitt and a set of steak knives.

 

Here we go with more Trump saying crazy stupid shit. What’s Harris saying tonight? What’s Walz saying tonight?

 

There's no explanation for this, other than the impact of Trump, and that it's Idaho. Such stupid, unnecessary idiocy. There is simply no reason to ban -- ban! -- COVID vaccinations, by a health department!, outside of political leanings.

Idaho health department no longer allowed to provide COVID-19 vaccines

 

I am seeing a groundswell of support for the narrative that the polls might have overcorrected and are understating support for Harris, and that pollsters are tweaking their models so that they don't appear to be wrong.

From Nate Silver about heavily apparent herding in polls:
In our database as of this afternoon’s model run, there were 249 polls in the seven battleground states that met Silver Bulletin standards and did at least some of their fieldwork in October.2 How many of them showed the race in either direction within 2.5 percentage points3, close enough that you could basically call it a tie?

Well, 193 of them did, or 78 percent. That’s way more than you should get in theory — even if the candidates are actually exactly tied in all seven states, which they almost certainly aren’t.

There’s more herding in swing state polls than at a sheep farm in the Scottish Highlands

And from Nate Cohn of the NYT:

At the same time, the 2016 and 2020 polling misfires shattered many pollsters’ confidence in their own methods and data. When their results come in very blue, they don’t believe it. And frankly, I share that same feeling: If our final Pennsylvania poll comes in at Harris +7, why would I believe it? As a result, pollsters are more willing to take steps to produce more Republican-leaning results. (We don’t take such steps.)

So, Can We Trust the Polls?

 

So it's now cool to say let's shoot this asshole in the face? Because he's rocking those vibes right now.

 

I’ve said before, my dream scenario is Drumpf drags the entire GOP down the drain with him on Election Day, and a sizable portion of the MAGATs turn on him like they did on Pence.

Hanging, shooting, dragging him down the street behind a pickup truck. Whatever works.

 

Like a real shooting or a bullshit one he had in July?

 

As Henry Rollins once sang:

“They killed me, they tied my hands with rope,
And now they’re dragging me down the street.
A woman is struggling to kick me in the skull,
If she could she would kill me again …”

 

15 pages behind, so hat's off here if somebody got this first ...

 

I made up my mind months ago. I already voted.

Closing speech?
