    yeah they gave his team plenty of time, then gave him a minute and a half immediately after the race to say whatever he wanted. I actually think it was another network which had the race, I forget (yes I watch NASCAR -- don't judge), but point being that he got a minute and a half on a major network as well and he wasn't bitching about it, but is still trying to throw a barb that won't catch. It was weird, just typical post race coverage shit and then here's trump's dumbass talking directly to the camera like a shitty late night infomercial. I can't be the only one who turned it off out of spite.

    Trump was the actual host of the whole show in November 2015, months after announcing he was running. Maybe it didn’t matter since it was before any voting.

    it's really only being discussed because the dude who said it broke the rules wrote a chapter in the Project 2025 book, and therefore a bunch of right wing media outlets are being encouraged to run with it. It technically didn't, as I already mentioned, and in general candidates don't really care like in the case you just mentioned. Everyone gets so much media coverage that it's basically a wash, and pointless to spend time and resources trying to go tit-for-tat

    When are the votes counted a tallied? I have a bottle that I'm either going to drink in celebration or to drown out my sorrows tomorrow.

    It's not odd for some states to be "called" before polls close





    I heard* that the FCC first stepped in and said NBC needs to allow Trump equal time. Not that he was the one bitching about it.

    *In full disclosure, it was a conservative leaning program.

    I know that crowd size at rallies aren't the best indicator, but Trump's crowds at his rallies the last week or so have really dropped and I don't think I've ever seen that before. Meanwhile Kamalas seems to have done better. I so want this to be a sign for the election.

    I've noticed that as well. Part of me wonders if its because its during the regular work week or something. But if "enthusiasm" is actually something quantifiable that means anything at all, it looks like the people he needs to support him might not be doing so anymore. At least not in the numbers they used to.

    The tea leaves I've been reading recently:

    Good for Harris:
    • Polling showing increased support for Harris among older women in the Upper Midwest
    • High female turnout in early voting
    • Undecideds breaking more for Harris than Trump in the last week
    • Several demographics that Trump made inroads with (blacks, latinos, youth) are regressing to the mean and are polling closer to 2020 splits than they had earlier in the campaign.
    • Trump's closing performance was very weak (poor showing at rallies, terrible messaging discipline, multiple gaffes)
    • Trump ramping up efforts to lay groundwork to contest a loss
    Bad for Harris:
    • National polling average remains below the Republican advantage in the Electoral College (recent history indicates a Democrat needs to win by 3+ points to capture the EC)
    • Arizona and Nevada polling worse than they did in 2020
    • No swing state is lean Harris; all are essentially deadlocked.

    First votes have been counted and reported. Race is currently tied at 3 votes for Harris, 3 votes for Trump.

    I'm into some real sicko shit.

    btw, these aren't electoral votes, these are individual votes. Six people have voted.

    There's a single town in New Hampshire, population 6, that votes at midnight and counts immediately. The count was aired live.

    Get some sleep, homie. We got a long day ahead.

    Also the Dixville Notch results are a Jewish, globohomo conspiracy. Epstein did 9/11. The N-word.

    Just counting the minutes until some 17-year-old Belarusian hacker hands the US presidency over to Bam Margera.

    Just looked him up. Glad to see he's doing well and has avoided substance abuse over the years.
