    A recent poll was conducted exclusively among Trump supporters which indicated 87% of them believe he'll win.

    Are they delusional? Are you? we'll find out in 5 days.

    "President Donald Trump has received a late boost in the form of some record economic numbers.

    According to the Commerce Department, America’s gross domestic product grew by 7.4 per cent in the third quarter, by the far the biggest number since reliable records started to be taken in the aftermath of World War II.


    Mr Trump hailed it as the “biggest and best” result in US history, and promised Americans next year would be “fantastic”.

    “So glad this great GDP number came out before November 3,” he said, adding that Joe Biden would “kill it all” with tax increases.

    The two candidates will almost cross paths with each other today as both campaign in the crucial swing state Florida."

    Whoever wins, I'd be very surprised not to see record margins of error

    The extra 20 million votes, that's got to favour the GOP

    In this case it's true though, biggest jump since WWII anyway


    It's still a little bizarre, because you don't really have anywhere in the US actually in lockdown, and Trump was never the guy to determine which states and counties go into lockdown anyway

    Sure, everyone wants to blame Trump, but none of those governors, Dem or Rep seem to want to commit to a proper lockdown

    Unless you are in a country with an actual authoritarian government, like China or the Phillipines, I think lockdowns are done and dusted

    Germany trying a half assed lockdown this month, with Merkel immediately getting attacked for it in parliament, that wouldn't have happened 7 months ago, we will see how that goes

    The virus will be less deadly percentage wise; better treatments Yada Yada. But number of cases in the winter in the Northern Hemisphere is going to explode, and I don't see anything stopping it now

    Just keep "rounding the curve"... It'll be "bigly"... "It's just going to disappear"


    I thought your guy, Trump, had this all sorted out... Didn't he say that he's doing a great job... Best job ever in the history of whatever...

    If you actually look closely at that site egger posted about Wisconsin

    Tracking coronavirus in Wisconsin

    It says, 96% of covid related deaths so far in that state were over 50 years old and that out of the new infections 20 to 50 year olds are recording twice as many infections as any other age group


    Under 10 yrs old; 20 daily infections per 100,000

    Whereas it's 90 per 100,000 with 20-29 year olds, 85 per 100,000 with 30 to 39 year Olds, even 70 per 100,000 for 60-69 year old

    That's what's really going on, whilst you are all crapping on about masks, schools being open, what Trump did or didn't do

    It's really been 20 and 30 something's not giving enough of a fuck that's driving the spike

    Well, it didnt disappear completely in the warmer weather, but 40,000 new cases a day in September will look a lot less this coming January when you are hitting 400,000 new cases a day

    Is that what you mean by "rounding the curve"?


    Sounds like a big curve...

    Michael Moore doesn't believe the polls.



    Michael Moore doesn't believe the polls showing Biden ahead of Trump
    The presidential election, especially in swing states, is probably much closer than polls predict, according to the liberal film maker
    By Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Fox News
    October 29, 2020

    Michael Moore doesn't believe the polls showing Biden ahead of Trump

    excerpt:

    "Trump has tightened virtually every one of these swing states to the point where- what are they saying this morning?... 'Biden's five points ahead in Wisconsin... maybe three points ahead in Florida, two points ahead in Arizona'... Listen, don't believe these polls,'" Moore said. "The Trump vote is always being undercounted. Pollsters- when they actually call the Trump voter, the Trump voter is very suspicious of the 'Deep State' calling them and asking them who they're voting for."

    Trump allots only one minute to McSally who is in a tough Senate battle with former astronaut Kelly.



    With Senate at risk, Trump focuses on himself - CNNPolitics

    excerpt:

    "Speaking in Arizona on Wednesday, the President offered a mortifyingly dismissive introduction to the state's vulnerable Republican senator, Martha McSally, even while declaring she was "respected by everybody."

    "Martha, just come up fast. Fast. Fast. Come on. Quick. You got one minute!" Trump said, rushing the senator onstage in the middle of his rally. "One minute, Martha! They don't want to hear this, Martha. Come on. Let's go. Quick, quick, quick. Come on. Let's go."

    Polls have shown McSally facing a tough reelection battle. And as they have in other tighter-than-expected Senate races, Trump's divisive behavior and rhetoric have been blamed for dragging down McSally's prospects.

    McSally herself has been forced to strike a balance; while she is still courting Trump supporters, as evidenced by her appearance at his rally this week, she refused to say whether she was proud of him during a recent Senate debate with her Democratic challenger, former astronaut Mark Kelly."

    Considering his law-and-order bravado, Trump should have been condemning this type of behavior

    Instead, while campaigning in MI, Trump questioned whether the plot to kidnap governors was even a problem. .



    One Of The Alleged Michigan Kidnapping Plotters Used Facebook To Coordinate With Other Extremists And Target Other Governors
    The FBI had been surveilling Barry Croft on Facebook since April. “The lock up your Governor challenge,” he posted. “Which of the beautiful colonies is going to be the first to snatch a criminal bastard?!?!”

    The FBI arrested two more extremists north of Detroit related to a the group that threatened the governor.

    Trump was hoping that the director of the FBI would open a case on Biden and announce it publicly before the election.

    Governor Abbott of Texas will have his way on limiting ballot drop boxes to only one per county.



    Texas Supreme Court upholds governor's order for one ballot drop-off site per county
    Democrats and voting rights groups said the governor's order amounted to voter suppression give the size of some of the state's counties
    By Dartunorro Clark

    Texas Supreme Court upholds governor's order for one ballot drop-off site per county

    excerpt:

    “The Texas Republican Supreme Court continues to bend the law in any which way to secure Republican political power. The only option for free and fair government is to vote democrat all the way down the ballot,” he said.

    This month, a federal judge initially gave Democrats a win and halted the order and then a state appeals upheld the decision to block the order.

    Abbott said he issued the order limiting drop-off sites to ensure the security of the ballots just as President Trump has promoted baseless conspiracy theories about mail-in voting. Americans, however, have embraced early and absentee voting in response to the pandemic. Trump has continued to sow distrust about the outcome of the election by casting doubt, without evidence, on the integrity of the system.
