    We've addressed this before.

    "Lock her up" was his big hit back in 2016. He's chasing that high.

    Anyone who wasn't locked in 4 years ago is going to point out that this is a jackalope hunt.

    And while this is clearly the president just slopping the hogs, the issue is that he can't win with just his base.

    Yeah I'm very comfortable saying at this point, if you're legitimately undecided... not 'I'm not voting for either out of principle'.. but actually on the fence between the two and you just can't decide?

    You should never get to vote again

    I'd suggest thise people at least get a coupe elections time out too. If your opinion is "Trump may be a raging psychopathic bigot, but Biden isn't doing it enough for me, so I'll pass", then either you're self-entitlement that shit won't get bad for you,

    Wait, is he a Marcus player, or a Ulix player?
    He's neither, he'd never have the patience for TTG's.

    Actually imprisoning your political enemies is like the final wax seal on the cursed spellbook Trump needs to use to complete the "Become A Real Fascist" ritual. I'm not sure if he's too incompetent, or too lazy, or in his heart isn't actually a fascist but just REALLY wants to be their idol anyway.

    :confused:

    He can't do anything without his enablers, and his enablers don't actually want to arrest politicians for fictional crimes, so it doesn't happen. If he gets enablers that DO want to do that, he will do so.

    Pretty much every conservative goal is a "dog chasing car" scenario.

    They don't want to have to deliver on these promises. Or they want to put some distance between them and the decision, like getting the Supreme Court to take out Roe and ACA.

  • CelestialBadgerCelestialBadger Registered User regular
    I think they really want to get rid of Roe Vs Wade. The result would be that abortion is a "State's rights" thing. So Kentucky can ban it, and California can keep it, and they can send their unwise daughters to California should the need arise.

    I'm pretty sure that the "lock her/him/them up" thing isn't a serious idea, just a way to preemptively paint future charges against his administration as politically motivated.

    EDIT: Okay, actually, no, I think he says it because he's demented and his Yeerk is out of Kandrona rays. But I think muddying the waters about criminality is why no one's tried to get him to stop saying it.

    IMO, it's serious in the way that most bullying/fascist "jokes" are. They want to do it, simply because it strokes their id. No deeper or higher motive. When they actually can't (yet), they can claim they were just joking.

    There is no Ukraine bombshell

    If there was they would've dumped it already.

    They're hoping to dump some bullshit like Comey's statement in 2016 right before the election. Then hope it's not exposed as complete bunk before Nov 3

    If the people you don't like are uncaught criminals it's very easy to hate them, I think it's as simple as that. This country already dehumanizes the imprisoned, and the obviously guilty but not currently in prison even worse. "Hillary Clinton is a person who we disagree with quite often in regards to policy" is a worse rallying cry than "KILLARY CLINTON RUNS A PEDO RING OUT OF A PIZZA SHOP LET'S GET HER." It also prevents your followers from ever taking the other person seriously. Who cares if their policy proposal is good? They're a fucking criminal it's probably shady.

    I will always respect John McCain for trying to correct his supporters for the "Obama is a secret Muslim" lie but it's clear a lot of Republicans saw him lose that thing in a landslide and go the other way on it.

    Ain't nobody shooting up pizza shops over the finer points of tax policy, you know?

    At the rate early voting is going, this is the time they need their big splash. Like, right now. Or better yet, yesterday. They're just about out of time to change the outcome. They need something big in the news cycles for like a week starting right around now or Democrats will already have banked enough votes, assuming there's not a big polling error (knock on wood).

    Trump is a cowardly blowhard. If he really wanted to arrest Hillary/Biden/Obama, he’s had the power to do so for years now, but he hasn’t because that would require effort on his part. Plus he lacks the spine to commit to the political blowback it would bring. So he just bullshits at campaign rallies to get the love cheers he craves because his supporters only understand empty platitudes and that is so much more valuable to him.

    Trump’s a wannabe strongman and I doubt Trump has the personal fortitude to arrest anyone if it risks himself, hence four years of bullshit. That said, Trump is like a corned rat and that can lead to him acting out in a dangerously unpredictable manner.

    The fact we’re even discussing this as a possibility highlights how bad things have gotten, even if it is unlikely.

    Pet theory about politics number I dunno anymore: both bullshit and racism are luxury goods for swing voters. It's stuff they want to indulge in, but only if the country is not a tire fire.

    Basically the appeal of the Leopard Eating People's Faces Party is that they promise to eat other people's faces and not yours. When they get elected and your face has an angry leopard's jaws attached to it all of a sudden, the appeal fades away.

    That sad part about this is that it suggests the pattern for democracies going forward is wild swings between left-wing parties fixing shit, followed by xenophobic right-wing parties taking power once things are looking better and then burning it all down again.

    The real crime in this is how the story "Giuliani is a treasonous middleman between the Trump campaign and Russian" isn't absolutely a bigger thing. But, I guess the news outlets are just as complicit in this hellscape as the politicians are.

    Trump having Biden/Hillary/Obama arrested would probably require some kind of purge of the FBI/DHS officials who wouldn't go along with it, and would risk turning even more officials against him. I think the Comey firing was Trump attempting something like that and finding out that stove is hot and he shouldn't touch it.

    Today is the first day of NV early voting and turnout is bonkers.

    Mail in voting is already higher than 2018's total mail in returns, and is ~17% of all registered voters, but NV also mailed everyone a ballot, so it's difficult to make any assumptions.

    I'm trying to stop myself from just refreshing Ralston's twitter and that's a bad sign for me for the next few weeks :p

    It's usually done in primaries to try to pick your opponent. Claire McCaskill did this successfully in 2012 by running ads "attacking" Todd Akin in a similar way. Haven't seen it with a general election third party candidate by a Democrat before. The right, of course, pulls this shit all the time by financially supporting the Green Party.

  • Undead ScottsmanUndead Scottsman Registered User regular
    Speaking of third party candidates, the Alaskan senate race has been somewhat competitive, but apparently an Alaska Indepenance Party candidate got on the ballot and has sucked away a ton of support from mostly the Dem nominee (who is actually an independent running on the Dem ticket) in a recent poll. It's only one poll, but it's the first with all three candidates, so it doesn't look good.

  • MorganVMorganV Registered User regular
    I did a democracy!

    No, I didn't vote for Biden. He wasn't on the ballot. Didn't vote for any Democrats at all, at the state or federal level.

    Sure, it was a local council election in the southeast suburbs of Victoria, Australia, done by automatic issuance mail in ballot. But I did list two rather progressive seeming women candidates first and second (we have ranked choice voting), but dammit, I voted.

    I was tempted to put Trump on the list, just so I could list him seventh (out of six), as it'd be the only chance I had to vote against him (given I'm not a US citizen), but I didn't want to invalidate my ballot.

    Giuliani called into The Daily Beast and went on what appears to be a truly magnificent hour long "interview". He says there's really only a 50/50 chance that the guy he's been working with is a Russian Spy. That Soros is behind everything. . And that he plans to continually drip info up until the election.


    Beyond the usual insanity, the pop out for me was that Trump and numerous GOP members, including Ron Johnson and Jim Jordan, were briefed thoroughly on the laptop, including being given files. All well before the release.

    I don't think history really supports the idea that during periods economic misery appeals to racism become weaker to people who are already open to ideas of racial villains.

    I think the easier argument to make is that there's lot of white americans who are OK with the casual like, soft racism of "black people are just complaining but actually everything is fine" or "immigration is too easy now" or "actually it's white men who have it the hardest in America!", etc etc. Or even like, "I'm not racist but I don't want to live near lots of black people because [racism]." Stuff where like it's racially motivated, but it's also not just straight-up racial animus, either.

    Unspoken, subtextual, dogwhistle racism is one thing. But Trump just puts it all out on the table by doing stuff like refusing to condemn white supremacists, and making it obvious he refuses to. Even your average racist white guy still enjoys watching a klansman get punched in the face. When Trump makes veiled references to taking America back to the good old days, the non hardcore deplorable folks like that. But he keeps shooting himself in the foot by making his racism too blatant for people to ignore.

    I'm not a historian, so grain of salt, but I think most of history is going to be void of examples involving "swing voters". And of the ones that do involve swing voters getting their racism on, I'd bet heavily on the racists being the ones out of power during said economic misery, thus picking up more support as the party who will change things. Obviously the racists are a huge problem, but there's also the prevalence of people who cannot be bothered to think critically or long term who just vote for whoever "sounds best"

"He's not hurting the people he should be hurting" doesn't indicate that being too racist is the problem.

    I do kinda love that people were like "Oh my god, Rudy, are you being duped by Russian foreign intelligence trying to illegally influence the democratic process of the United States?!?" and rather than issuing a strong denial, he's just like "Eh, maybe yes, maybe no, flip a coin".

    I'm pretty sure that a posho would use a real Apple store to repair their laptop. If the hacked stuff is real they probably got it by phishing or straightforward burglary.

    If our intelligence services are willing to come out and just fucking say "Rudy is working with Russia Agents" on this, then this entire thing is Russia's baby. Because Rudy couldn't plan his way out of a wet paper bag, the smart money is on all of this being organized by Russia and the parts played by the Trump Administration/surrogates are require as little thinking and action as possible.

    This leaves us with two probable outcomes and one huge caveat: The first is that things are going according to Russia's scheme, and everything right now is bait and setup for a completely fabricated "bombshell" trap. The other is that Rudy and company, despite being kept to a minimum of responsibility, have still managed to bungle the execution of the plan in such a way that it makes the whole thing laughable from the outset.

    The caveat to both of those outcomes is that planning for COVID19 or just the hellscape that is 2020 is probably far beyond anyone's ability and may have resulted in a complete disruption of everyone's plans regarding.. well, everything.
