    So everyone against Trump hates him for… well lots of reasons, but most recent the blatant Trump support. He’s not going to win back anyone from that group, even with this backpedaling.

    And now everyone in the MAGA camp hates him because he has betrayed Dear Leader.

    So does this mean that everyone hates him now, or does he just have to rely on the support of apolitical middle-ground both-parties-are-the-same sorts?

    Musk suddenly realized he’d rather have good time American dollars than wartime bonds from the new new Republic of Texas

    Man, don’t get complacent

    Anything could happen. 2 states could get their votes overruled by the Republican state legislatures. People could see that it’s close and start attacking poll workers. The machines could cheat. Fuckin anything could happen. The time when the rat is cornered is 1,000% the most dangerous time.

    Vote. Anything could happen. Treat it like a fuckin emergency, because it is.

      The machines could be legally rigged by Biden and he could simply claim immunity when caught and so long as he earnestly believes it to be for the good of the nation no one can do anything.

          It’s a joke, it’s not that he would it’s that theoretically he could switch which is fairly scaremusing to me.

          Hey, I didn’t make the dumb court decision but I can mock it frequently.

          As an aside, not everyone that disagrees with you is a Russian asset.

        Yeah I had too many hilarious thoughts all trying to squeeze out of my brain at once and it was a traffic jam.

        Is Musk out of money? That’s hilarious. Did Trump just suffer a huge stinging loss in both money and PR? Yes. Are these hits coming faster than Trump can field them? Obviously! They haven’t even managed to deal with Kamala yet and now this.

        Trump is off balance and against the ropes right now just as the Dems had a massive infusion of money and energy and this is the best I’ve felt in months. It won’t last. They’ll find their messaging and start punching back, and the excitement of Kamala stepping up will be hard to sustain until November. But right now we are on top, Trump is scared and angry, and it feels great.

      It’s not even true. He still has a superPAC for trump, and he didn’t actually deny the figure. He just said the original story wasn’t accurate that he’s donating it to trump. But to the superPAC. So the story hasn’t changed. This is all spin. And they just printed it.
