Not so. Link please.

Used to be when someone campaigned for office they would try to bring votes to their side. This "we don't want your vote" stance is a MAGA thing, the first person I heard spouting this was Kari Lake: at a rally before one election she told her Arizona audience that if they had been McCain supporters that she doesn't want them, they should leave the rally, NOW! Never heard of a candidate doing that before. DT likes to cook up controversy because it gets him mentioned more in the media, and he still hasn't figured out these "shoot himself in the foot" rants that push him into the daily headlines will cost him at the polls. But maybe he's planning an election failure caveat of "how could I have possibly lost by so many votes?"

I just completed this quiz. My Score 80/100 My Time 86 seconds  

For a few years we were getting MNet from South Africa in the southern part of the country. After being in the north with cigarettes and guns being pixelated on TV, imagine my surprise to see that certain Jodi Foster movie on the screen, completely oblivious to Thai censorship. Maybe that's why it's not here any more.

Why Is Trump Urging His Supporters Not to Vote This Election? “My instruction: We don’t need the votes, I have so many votes,” Trump said on Fox & Friends before going on a rant about how much support he has in Florida. What the . . . ? Looks like they're planning some monkey business.

I do believe you meant "Rabid Right" because calling someone "Rapid Right" implies the possibility of premature ejaculation, then people will ask "how do you know this?" and we don't want to discuss THAT in here, now do we? Used looney three times in your post, Fox channel style. Auditioning?

I don't think there is anything he can say that will get him more voters. The idea is that he'll get a knee-jerk reaction that will drive them to their computers and send him $$$. He doesn't consider how it affects the Big Picture. One thing he can promise that will change the tide is universal basic income: everybody gets $1k (or more) per month. The punch line is he won't come through. Next week is Infrastructure Week. But as for Big Picture issues, there is the matter of dealing with his defeat. This voter fraud business dates back to the late 1990s as a GOP ploy, I believe around the time Dole was running against Clinton (I suspect GIngrich may have had a hand in its origins). The plan now, as proposed by Steve Bannon (who probably got it from someone else) is to have an avalanche of minor cases that bogs things down so bad the voting process is brought to a standstill and the election results will be in contention for a piece of eternity. Keep a close eye on Nevada and Arizona, those have been Steve's focal point, and branching out to the swing states.

Anticipating that they'll come up with something like an overdue library book and turn that into the crime of the century. As for ol' Joe, he no longer has to be concerned how his actions affect the campaign, and it will be his turn to delay what ever sees fit regarding things that concern him and his. Back when Cheney was running the country he managed to increase the powers of the VP, and no one -- not the press, nor Congress, nor W had the guts to confront him on it. If you want a link learn how to do a web search; if you look hard enough you'll even find a quote from Big Dick (during their 2 terms in office) gloating over how he had W bullied. It is to Biden's credit that he did not make use of these new aspects, and I recall a few vague remarks about this in the press during Obama's first turn. My guess is these things may have been part of DT's paranoia about Pence turning on him during his four years, like when he underwent a medical procedure without anesthetic because he was afraid Pence would take over. Joe can use these cockamamie rulings DT's lawyers and judges are coming up with for his own actions, and using the same sort of delay tactics he can easily put them off until after he's at least out of office, if not deceased.

Trump tells Christians they won't have to vote after this election "I love you Christians. I'm a Christian. I love you, get out, you gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don't have to vote again, we'll have it fixed so good you're not going to have to vote," How's that for a campaign promise? Start the countdown to commence the backtracking and denials.

‘Our St Bernard puppies attacked me twice. It still broke my heart to have them put down’ " . . . slamming her to the ground and biting at her. They dragged her outside - ripping off her clothes."

So I guess that means he won the fight. Victory, that's what it's all about, right?

What is DT's superpower? His grift. The way he talks the money away from his membership. Continuously. Look up how much he brought in daily during his fraud trial, and him being declared guilty was the bonus round.

Yep, this is now a single-dotard race. Did anyone see Vance's first stump speech? The only way to describe it is "edibles." A priority of DT's choice is that he doesn't want a running mate who will upstage him. For reference, try to dig up the clip from 2016 of Palin doing her word salad to a cheering crowd while DT looks on -- can you tell by his facial expression that Sarah would not be seen again during the campaign? Hell, he didn't even invite her to the inauguration! However, I think tickets had to be paid for, and they weren't cheap. When he made an excuse for her not being there you could tell he was full of it. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/special-counsel-eyeing-russians-granted-unusual-access-trump/story?id=56232847

On the possibility of Vance getting the bum's rush off the ticket, some of you younglings out there might want to do a web search on Tom Eagleton 1972 and the affect it hand on the Dem outcome. ("a thousand percent") But I doubt DT would be deterred by this story, he would just keep bullying and calling names, which is what he will do anyway.

People will vote for her because of who she is not.

An impressive display of testicular fortitude. Looks like the Putin/MAGA trolls aren't awake yet.

Do you?

It's called a squib.

To catch a bullet in the ear that does not touch the rest of the head, what are the chances of that?

What? They can lock people up for doing fascist gestures?

Don't mean to mock you, but when I first read this post I thought it was optimism to the fullest. Yeah, he can be a Scrooge-like character, but he couldn't handle the xmas morning redemption. I would think his nightmare ghost is his father, maybe his brother as well.

It's been said that Kellyanne was the one who always had to remind him that these things he is advocating could also be used against himself. He who lives by the sword etc. Go back to the Hutchinson testimony, she quotes him saying to take down the security check equipment, these are his people. Uuummm.... At the convention I've been expecting him to take the stage holding two stone tablets.

It is not very smart to be constantly slamming the people whose job it is to protect you, and if you can't come to that realization on your own, ummm. If they don't take the bullet for you they will only lose their job, whereas you will probably have your funeral soon after. That first night of the convention DT was unusually sedate, I wonder what they pumped him up with. I suspect his condition from the shooting is worse than reported, but hey, the show must go on!

You will know a lot more about by the end of the week.
