See, I’ve been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine, and it’s perfect example of something impossible today.

    Oh, I thought he meant Zelensky.

    You are shrooming if you think the puerto rico garbage comment does anything but drive up voting in the south.

    They know they’re the only Real Americans, everyone else on the planet is garbage to them.

      No, it won’t change the minds of his base.

      But there are people he wouldn’t consider his base, that also tend to vote conservative, who were actually offended by some of those jokes. And then realized that hey, Trump and company are white nationalists, and that means that no minority will be safe.

      It’s a tiny minority of Trump supporters, but as close as this election could be, that’s more than enough.

      Now, Trump is planning on stealing the election anyway. Via disrupting or delaying certification of votes past December 11th, Which then means that there will be incomplete slates of electors, which means the election goes to the House, and each State gets one vote instead of the house itself voting.

      They’re going to try to use Section three of the 20th amendment.

      If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President-elect shall have died, the Vice President-elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President-elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President-elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President-elect nor a Vice President-elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.

      Fun times to live in…
