'Sleepy Joe'?

You mean the 'Sleepy Joe' who just served up your steroid and cocaine raddled liver on a plate with some fava beans and a nice chianti at the last debate? That 'Sleepy Joe'?

PROUD BOYS IN NWFL: After an event in Milton earlier this week, questions were raised about who provided security. Channel 3 has confirmed it was members of the far-right group, Proud Boys.
@mattgaetz attended the event. Coming up on @weartv - what he had to say about the group.

[kavah]

Good and Bad on both sides - he said .But no, pretty much all the baddies and nut-jobs are on the right.

And wasn't it Federal agents slashing tyres and damaging cars in Portland and Minneapolis and bad actors in Oakland setting fires to discredit black lives matter.

Matt Gaetz has to be in my top five most hated Republicans.

He's a slimy, grandstanding douche, who is also rather clueless.

another brick in the border wall?

Whatever happened to the wall? Obviously it wasn’t built, but I haven’t seen Biden bringing it up as a failure of Trumps much either?

Probably because it strays into border security. Might be an issue Biden's campaign want to skirt when there are easier avenues to attack Trump that resonate on a human level, like C-19 and its economic impact. There's been some focus on the family separation policy this past week though.

Matt Gaetz is is in the top 5 hateable specimens of cowardice on GOP but that photo seems incongruous. Why are 3 black guys involved in the Proud Boys? Is it that PB are not white supremacist's but just far-right cranksters?

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

Claiming credit as Sudan and Israel agree to ‘normalise’ relations.

Expecting from someone who almost started a civil war in his own country, to fix some major and complicated world problems, is beyond stupidity. This guy wouldn't guess in which continent are Isreal and Sudan let alone knowing something more about them.

They can have a healthy dose of both right?

Wow, ahead of Ted Cruz. I must confess to not knowing a huge amount about him, but he must be a real 24-carat scumbag to be ahead of Zodiac and just behind Scoutmaster Graham.

[Caligula?]

Murkowski says she's voting for Coney-Barrett. Didn't she say that she wouldn't do so unless it was after the election? 

Cut from the same cloth as Susan Collins. They're always "worried" and say they wouldn't do something in the beginning and then when the heat is off a few weeks later, they do their 180. I hope at least Collins loses her seat.

Trump privately told donors it would be ‘very tough’ for GOP to hold Senate, saying: ‘I don't want to help some of them’

“I think the Senate is tough actually. The Senate is very tough. There are a couple senators I can’t really get involved in. I just can’t do it. You lose your soul if you do. I can’t help some of them. I don’t want to help some of them.”


also this sounds ominous.


At the fundraiser, Trump lamented that he could not send federal forces into some of the cities that were racked by violence and protests this summer.

“Unless it’s a strict emergency, we’re not allowed to go in. We’re going to find more and more emergencies,” Trump said.

Doubtless others have done far worse than Gaetz (Mister DUI himself). It's his very obvious, unashamed political grandstanding, his slimy smile, his clear desire to be noticed by Trump when he's a relative nobody.  Everything about him screams second rate Disney villain. Plus he has a very punchable face.

He's always pulling stunts, like pretending he's been barred from an impeachment hearing he's perfectly entitled to access, or showing up to a meeting with a gasmask on when nurses are struggling with makeshift PPE. He fancies himself as a proper attack dog when in reality he's just a little gobshite troll.

Haha. This is a great response.

Haha. This is a great response.

Hundreds of thousands dead, many more left with life altering medical conditions, and Jared and Ivanka are complaining about their bruised egos because of mean billboards.

That intimidation strategy might work against little people,  it wont fair so well against seasoned conservative operators.

It seems pretty stupid to go down that route. Clearly, the Lincoln Project has enough money to afford going to court. They can't be bullied with such a stupid lawsuit. And clearly they were never going to just stop doing what they're doing. In the end, all that threat has done is give the Lincoln Project another opportunity to get one over Trump and his entourage and made the billboard even more well known.

Well I'd not heard of it before this. Hope they counter sue.

The good news is it's not moving.  That, combined with the large numbers of early votes, means we're not likely to see a sudden surge in the wrong direction like we had last time.  Think Trump is running out of time, he needs something substantial like the Comey intervention from 2016.

Very unlikely at this point. And as has been said, with so much early votes already cast, a fair chunk has already been locked in. Trump needs something Earth shattering right now, not in three or four days, to sway people.

Was Comey’s intervention substantial?

Her polls sank right afterwards.  And if it shifted them by just 1%, she lost enough states by less than that amount to have cost her the election.

Yeah and the good news is there's been nothing in the way of movement in the last couple of days, so hopefully it hasn't cut through.

Fair enough but it seemed to me that, with hindsight at least, Clinton was losing that election no matter what. At the time it didn’t feel like his intervention sway too many people.

She was shite, but it was such a close election that you could point to more or less anything and call it the deciding factor.  A 1 or 2% swing the other way and it would have looked like a Clinton landslide.

[Red Beret]

Quoting this in here.

Hope this reassures some people.

Trump won Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin by the skin of his teeth, Michigan by less than half a percent.  Biden enjoys leads in all these states with only nine full days to go before the election. They are relatively narrow leads, but even if Biden only gets two out of three it leaves Trump with a mountain to climb.

Smells like 2016 all over again.  Clinton has a 80% chance of winning right up until Election Day and then it dropped to 70% chance.

Wouldn’t rule anything out in terms of something springing up this week, and/or Trump refusing to accept the result if not in his favour.

I realise people don't want to get burned after four years of shit from both sides of the Atlantic, but this doom and gloom is frankly pitiful and irritating.

If this is what I'm going to be reading when I come in here I'm tuning out for a bit.  At least when I'm feeling hopeless I avoid the thread instead of bringing everyone down.

Clinton's polls had been on the slide for a good while by this point in 2016. Biden has been steady. Unless something mad happens, or the polls are WAY off (i.e. much worse than 2016) there's nothing to worry about.

People just don’t hate Biden - and the women and seniors have switched to him in droves.

Let's lighten the mood shall we? Biden is going to stomp on this orange prick as strongly as LFC battered the English Premier League in the 2019/2020 season 

It is a LOT different this time around than in 2016. If people want to think otherwise, that's their business. Biden is over 50% in the polls, I am not sure Clinton ever was at any point. The main issue here is Trump's attempted rigging. IF this is a fair election, Biden will win handily IMO.

This is huge. Joe is actually likeable to a fair amount of people. He is far more likely to get those who didn't vote or went third part because they couldn't stand either candidate in 2016.
