POLITICAL THREAD

[HymanKaplan]

It's the NYT and it's two days before the election. IOW - meaningless psyop

Kamala with a 3 point lead in Nevada, ALONE (which completely contradicts everything we know about how that race is going) should tell you all that you need to know.

(and all indications are that Lake has narrowly pulled ahead in Arizona. NYT has her down by 5 🤣 🤣 🤣

 

[DSmith21]

Go ahead and prepare yourselves for the NYT/Siena psyop poll drop today. I expect it to border on the absurd. Just ignore it and vote, vote, vote.

They are not an accurate pollster and are known to put out polls to excite the democrat base. Rich Bariis did a segment last week on pollsters who were fired for being to Trumpy after the last election. He mentioned George Stephenopolis getting a guy fired at ABC and someone that headed CNN's polling. The Trumpy pollsters turned out to be much closer than the usual dem shills like Marist and NY Times.

Move to Cali. Experience failed Dem policies and the mess they create firsthand on the daily.

You literally live in KY and vacation in Florida and benefit from everything red states have to offer.

But yeah “it sucks for you” there. Poor guy.

FIsh only know the problem when they're yanked out of the water.

 

[HymanKaplan]

It's all about the psychology.

The election is down to men, particularly working class men in the rust belt, doing just that. If the sitting president calling you Garbage doesn't motivate you to vote against Her and their policy, nothing will.

Watched the final AtlasIntel podcast last night, and that is essentially their message: Men absolutely HAVE to have a GREAT turnout on Tuesday, and if they do, it's going to be extremely difficult for Harris. The election comes down to getting them out to vote, BIGLY. If turnout is just good/decent then there had better not be any complaining in the swing states.

Yep, that' why I was warning folks. Take it with a grain of salt. Male voters in GA, NC, AZ, NV, PA, MI, and WI have to finish the job. It's ALL on them Tuesday. If they just "meh" it, I have no sympathy for them.

 

[SDC888]

I watched it too.

Think it was them or someone else who mentioned that Penn projections of what's needed from men on election day to secure victory is twice what's needed.

She can't win without Pennsylvania. Some alternate reality where she fails there, and claims NC/GA, likely very narrowly and thoruh a long protracted count, seems too dubious to me to pull off.

Matt Jones tweeted today, denigrating KY Amendement 2

His reasonaing was that it would disproportionately affect rural school districts.

I asked him to elaborate, but he declined.

Asking him to elaborate on anything political is like asking Stoops to explain his play calling.

 

[DSmith21]

Here's a recap of nightwishes' evening, for those that missed it.

He came in, playing it cool at first, polls don't matter blah blah blah, tried the dion Rasmussen tag on me.

cat_chaser, called him out (rightfully so) re: that as soon as polymarket (chuckle) and the "Iowa" bombshell (LOL) dropped, he couldn't WAIT to come in here and "get to work". I was being cordial to him, and essentially said, in so many words "I'm not counting on polls, it's a dead-heat." But that's not what he rode in to town for.

Somebody else, a Selzer poll sycophant started spouting off about what a "god" she is in the pollster world (and she has a pretty good record, but nothing earth-shattering) and before you knew it, the internet courage puffed up and it was on. It was a real humdinger. 🤣

Here is a visual aid that I think captures the atmosphere perfectly. 🤣


nightwish is GOING to have his SAY, by Gawd. LOL

I missed the last post, but he's planning on going Sherman to the sea in here if Kamala wins. LOL I won't lie, if she DOES win, I'll be disappointed, but watching him bantam rooster around will at least make for some good entertainment.

Nightwish is a piece of ultra-woke self pretentious work. In other words, a prototypical "White Male for Harris".

Can't say you're wrong but I sure would like for my vote to count in Ky. It sucks for me and any other Dem in this state.

Same for Republicans in blue states. If states’ Electoral College votes were awarded proportionally instead of winner-take-all we’d all be represented.

WI has 10 EC votes. If someone wins it 60/40 why should they get all 10 votes? They should be split 6/4 to reflect the will of the people.

 

[HymanKaplan]

LOL NV is NOT tight. Republicans have run up a huge lead with over half of the votes already in. Trump is getting 50 percent of the Latino vote. NYT/Siena is the ONLY poll that has Kamala ahead, but like I said, over half the votes have already been cast. LOL


According to Tommy (talked to him last night) rest easy on WI. He seemed absolutely positive on that one.

I'm tellin' ya man, that's their "play." If the election is close, they'll eek out a narrow dubious win cheat through NV/GA/NC. Too big to rig is the only way, and easily the best thing for the country. Hell, I'd even prefer Her to win in an Iowa landslide over that. They're playing with fire with this nonsense. Once ("winning" 2020 by 45k votes) was enough. The only way this election is not actually existential, is through a decisive T victory.

 

[SDC888]

And yes, anyone who actually understands the electoral college would still support it, say, if that scenario played out while Trupm won the pop vote.

 

[screwduke1]

Sucks. Bad weekend. UL beats Clemson and IU goes to 9-0.

Be honest, how many predicted a 4-8 year preseason?

I was hopeful for a 8 or possibly 9 win season. Now we may finish with 8 or 9 losses. Yikes. And this is probably the most talented team UK has probably ever had (at least in modern times). Massive failure by Stoops. No other way to say it

We should have seen this coming given he had one foot out the door to ATM.

But... what's Mitch gonna do about it? And frankly, Mitch needs to pay the price for these terrible contracts (he got lucky with Cal... or we'd still be stuck with him also).

Well, if there is cheating there is nothing I can do about it. For my part, right now, I'm reasonably confident that if there is a huge turnout on Tuesday in the swing states, that Trump has a really good chance to win. If turnout is just okay, he'll definitely lose, no doubt in my mind about that. So I've made up my mind that I'm putting the cheating stuff aside. It's pointless to think/worry about it.

Yeppers...

Voting for the loser does not mean your vote is wasted nor that you are not represented.

THereis a fundamental flaw, i.e. an inability to reason, at the core of all such positions. No, the reality is this... the Founders were simply much smarter than you. Go make your own nation, if you are as smart as you think are, with its own constitution and see how you fare.

Wendy's to close 140 restaurants by the end of the year

Wendy's is working to optimize its restaurant footprint by replacing underperforming and outdated locations with ones that are profitable enough to support the company's growth.

the first step in fixing UK's problems is to send Mitch packing. He is not up to the task of running a dynamic and competitive athletic administration. He's not decisive, has an extreme distaste for what college athletics have become (which is fine, I can understand that sentiment), BUT like it or not, if you want to compete, you need to either learn to live with it, and give it your all, or GTFO. Mitch needs to GTFO. Once that is done, we can move on to the rest of the list.

How the eff does it affect rural school districts? This is more about the city schools. There’s not like there’s seven or nine schools in Whitesburg or Perry County.

He is ideologically inconsistent. Next he will want to push for a split Presidency where Trump is POTUS 52% of the time and Kackles is 48% of the time.

if trump loses we are in for really scary times ahead, not just economic, but more alien invaders, more shredding of the constitution, scotus packing, no electoral college. one party federal rule, states be damned.

Pretty much the point of no return.

 

[Mash 2.4]

The tightening of the polls is just a tactic to sell the fraud. There’s no way Trump will be allowed to win. Too many powerful and corrupt forces aligned against him. That can’t afford to lose. You live in a Marxist country now. Enjoy.

Every poor ass welfare red state in America outside of Florida and Texas suck off of the big blue teet fool.
You literally benefit daily from the economic engine and generosity of blue states like New York, Maryland, Illinois, Michigan and California.
Kentucky is one of the biggest recipients of federal dollars in the nation.
Good luck if those blue states told you to kiss their ass and their shipping ports, technology and trade are no longer available to you.
7 of the top 10 states most reliant on federal $$$ are red states. 🤣🤣🤣

The States That Are Most Reliant on Federal Aid

MoneyGeek’s analysis identified the states most reliant on federal funding and found an intriguing correlation between dependency and political leaning.

www.moneygeek.com

California is the 5th largest economy in the world for the seventh consecutive year, with a nominal GDP of nearly $3.9 trillion in 2023 and a growth rate of 6.1%.

New York's GDP in 2023 was $1.79 trillion, making it the third-largest economy in the United States, behind California and Texas.

People don't understand that it's a slow burn. You'd have had 16 of the last 20 years under their agenda, and that's not recoverable.

It's a controlled demolition... then, as Hemingway quipped, all at once - gradually, then all at once. Living in the greatest country during the most advanced state of man masks reality., the reality that you are being fleeced and driven to an end you on the so-called left won't see coming, and won't like when it actually arrives.
