They feel on the money to me, maybe even a little generous, and here is why: Biden's numbers are not reflective of support for Joe Biden. Outside of his immediate family, I am not sure anybody is exactly excited for or clamoring for President Joe Biden.

What they are for is not Donald Trump. Anything that happens that makes Trump look just a little less bad works strongly in Trump's favor, either by flipping weak Biden voters back over to Trump, or convincing weak Biden voters to skip it altogether.

This is to say as stable 8 point national leads go, Biden's feels particularly precarious.


Plenty people my parents age that are excited to vote for Joe Biden.

Turns out that Alex Morse thing is bunk. The college Dems for some horrible reason have been planning to smear him for nearly a year.

Just in case anybody was unsure about Trump's motives in defunding the USPS, he was kind enough to make it perfectly clear this morning on Fox Business:

“Now they need that money in order to make the post office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots,” he said Thursday in an interview on Fox Business. “But if they don’t get those two items, that means you can’t have universal mail-in voting.”

“They don’t have the money to do the universal mail-in voting. So therefore, they can’t do it, I guess, right?” Trump said. “Are they going to do it, even if they don’t have the money?”

As usual, we saw enough crazy for me to forget Brad Parscale was fired when this thread started.

I saw this headline several times but didn't think it was more than clickbait, but Trump's desire for a shower that flows more freely is going to be a rolled back regulation. This is really where we are. This is what's important at this point in history?

The Kamala birthers have arrived.

@wsteaks
Trump campaign's Jenna Ellis tells me @KamalaHarris' eligibility is "an open question," when asked about this retweet.

"It’s an open question, and one I think Harris should answer so the American people know for sure she is eligible."

Harris was born in Oakland, California.

Quick response should be, I'll upload my Birth Certificate if you show us your Tax Returns.

Oh, I see. Harris is black and the daughter of immigrants so her birthplace is an "open question". Fucking disgusting and racist AF. Here's a question - why is the Trump campaign so anxious to have Harris disqualified? Also, I love the idea of a birth certificate/full income taxes exchange.

I feel like I've been very patient with people in my life who support him, but I am pretty much at my breaking point.

This is a soft coup, plain and simple. He is trying to unseat the rightful winner before the election happens. He is desperate and weak.
