OOTB's Political Thread . ..

Wait. There's still an equal time rule? Who knew?

This is a clear problem area. What counts as press? What counts as advertising?

I've seen estimates that Musk has given Trump the equivalent of million$ in free advertising on X. Not counting the "interview".

How about the Rogan-Trump event?

How about Jon Stewart's routines?
Yeah... Reagan's FCC overturned the Fairness Doctrine 35 years ago or more.

I hear you. Who keeps track of how much airtime the candidates are receiving anyway? And what's more, maybe we should also have some rules about the frequency of lies a candidate tells over the public airwaves.

It's funny how three days before the election the garbage is bitching and moaning about Kamala being invited to appear on SNL while Trump wasn't.
 
You're missing the value of the Ignore button.

I ignore people for the reasons I mentioned. But when I view a thread, I go to the bottom and click the button to "show ignored."

If you are tempted to ask "then what's the point of ignoring them," it's really very straightforward. The ignore feature acts as a flag (it shows "You are ignoring content by this member" in a gray banner next to their name).

You may also be thinking "I don't need any daggum flag to tell me who the idiots and racists are" then great. More power to you. But I'm old, and don't spend all my days here, so I can use the help. Plus, on the Iowa board some posters change their handles as often as they change clothes or gender identities, so I definitely need the help over there.
It's a copout to ME... no one else was meant to be included in that statement. I understand why people do it.

Probably because he has no sense of humor about himself. He doesn't really have a sense of humor at all. He jokingly denigrates and insults...but, I've never seen him actually laugh.

No WAY would he be in a skit where he allows JAJ mock him to his face.
 
No amount of proof will work or change them. They have to have their own a-ha moment. I'll admit that I didn't see the wearing trash bags and embracing the garbage label thing coming. When you don't see the truth in the irony there... I don't think there's any hope for you.

It makes perfect sense, once you realize how much of a simpleton they need to be too believe anything this moron says.

He's only a "thing" because people like @bluetoe think it's "smart" to be in a cult.

Exactly. I guess at this point it's just something for one group or the other to complain about.
 
Trump seemed barely awake today in Kinston and called out Pennsylvania Senate hopeful Dave McCormick . . . while in North Carolina.
🤣
It's bedtime, Donnie. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz . . .

Why... does he put that orange shit all over his face??? It's almost starting to look like he's in a minstrel show, circa 1897.
 
Iowa Poll: Kamala Harris leapfrogs Donald Trump to take lead near Election Day

The nationally recognized Iowa Poll shows Kamala picking up support from women to surpass Donald Trump in a ruby-red state he has won twice.

He’s changed shades I’ve noticed. More bronze than orange. I don’t understand why someone in his circle doesn’t say “hey man rub some of that shit on your ears and neck too”. But he’d prob deny he puts any on.

This poll was dead on in predicting trump winning Iowa in last two elections. The fact that trump is spending so much time trying to discredit it is a sure as fuk sign it’s pissed him off and he’s panicking. If Harris does win Iowa she’s won the election.

Iowa??? No way! I see people claiming Harris will win NC and GA... and I'm thinking, "Are you high? Like, really high?" She might win those rust belt states (PA, WI, MI), but I really don't think she's gotta remote chance of taking any of these: NC, GA, NV and AZ. Maybe all she needs are those other three.

lol sorry, but I had to stop watching this as soon as the clueless dipstick started admonishing Trump for 'demonizing language', or some such idiocy, even as he was trying to demonize Trump. You have to be an extreme simpleton to embrace this kind of ironic nonsense without seeing the irony. You have to be a drooling crayon eater if you haven't noticed the demonization of Trump that has gone on for many, many years now. And this guy you highlight wants to talk about demonization as if his (and your) ilk didn't practically invent the concept.

If you want to say I'm in a cult, I'll gladly allow it given that it's a cult without morons and TDS victims like you in it.

Of course you stopped watching, dealing in reality isn't your thing.

yep…and the seeds of doubt regrading legitimacy have been planted.

There is a less than zero percent chance that Harris wins Iowa and almost as small a chance she wins the election. Fancy a wager?

I’m not close to being wager confident in either. I just like all the drama and the Iowa poll has created a lot. So on a scale of 1-5, 5 being most confident, where are you at on trump winning? I’m at around 3.5
 
Whoever wins pa wins the election. And Harris not choosing the jooish pa governor for vp is a huge fuk up.
THIS. It's really hard for her, from an electoral standpoint, if she doesn't take PA. That's why they've had so many rallies, so much money, so much time there. I live miles from the Mason Dixon Line and get to PA regularly. The people up there must be so ready for Tuesday. Every commercial. Every billboard. 9 out 10 yards. They are all election related. People must be tuned out. Of course, the ads and shit will probably start on Friday for 2026 and 2028. I'm sure it's the same way in NC as well.

And you're right about Shapiro. They were too worried about pissing off the other side. But, it's not like they'd ever vote orange, so it was really more about turnout.

Yea it’s all but impossible for her without pa UNLESS that Iowa poll is accurate and that’s why everyone is making such a big deal about it.

4.9

That tenth of a percent is reserved for the potential of 300,000 votes being discovered. Out of no where. In the 11th hour. In swing states.

gawd i wish you were trustworthy enough to bet.

I don't think she'll win Iowa, though it sounds like Des Moines and certain districts are flipping. I'll bet anyone $100 worth of bitcoin she wins the election though.

help me out here...if he isn't trustworthy to pay off, what exactly do you stand to lose by betting him anyway? Hmmmm? A little face along with some pocket change, maybe?
