When they say "Fuck your feelings", feelings aren't really what they hate. It's all about the other word there.

No contradiction here. It's "Fuck Your Feelings," not "Fuck Both Your Feelings And Mine." Similarly, while facts do not care about your feelings, they do care about mine.

Lisa Murkowski will vote against moving forward with the Amy Coney Barrett nomination but will ultimately vote to actually confirm her.

Cuz Ivanka is president.

She's part of the administration so they all share blame.

Is this a prediction or did she say that?

He could have hunkered down in lockdowns until November 4th and lost his base, but I doubt it mattered.

Or he could have, y'know, worn a mask, and encouraged his devoted followers to do likewise, thus curbing the spread of the disease.

She said it. Basically "I can't hold the procedure against her."

---

She is absolutely correct. The first is a procedural vote. If you object to the procedure you can vote no there. The second is a vote on the nominee.

---

Is Corrik actually implying that Trump could lose his base?

Probably the most delusional thing hes ever said in these topics.

This is the most neutral stance in Congress since Present.

Zapp Brannigan was right.

Yeah okay.

I had seen people posting the Obama quotes and was not impressed but watching the video...but man I really did just forget how fucking good a speaker he is, huh? I just wish he'd use his powers for good and not something as bland as Joe Biden.

The president in a sentiment not shared by many of his partys top officials and strategists said he instead thinks the Republicans are going to take back the House.

Id like to see the odds on the GOP winning the House but losing the Senate

I'm sure it's well under 1%

I'm also very curious what would have happened in Alabama if he had carried out his hypothetical of endorsing Doug Jones (or "the democrat" as he said) in Alabama over Sessions had Sessions won the primary

Im still not convinced Cal Cunningham didnt blow the dems chance at the senate with his stupid limp penis.

I could see the dems losing all the close races including NC now and falling just short. I dont think thats unreasonable.

Corrik7 posted...

Yeah okay.

Literally the only reason his base was so virulently anti-mask and thought the virus was a hoax was because the president said to be! What the fuck is wrong with you Corrik?

No. Are you even serious? Do you know anything you know anything about what you are saying? I live in a fervent Trump area. They were anti-mask and anti-lockdowns from the literal very start, before Trump came out with anything. Governor Wolf mandated masks in our area first. They freaked the hell out about it from that very day.

You think you know what you are talking about because it makes sense to you. You are just wrong however.

Trump also never said the virus was a hoax. That's literally not in context. He said his response to the virus will be the next hoax. So, wrong again.

The Covid is the Flu shit has been there from the very onset. Trump likely picked that up from his base, not the other way around. Same with the opening up rhetoric and the anti-masks.

Trump was the one who talked about locking stuff down initially and doing it responsibly. His base was the one who freaked out about it.

Did Trump set a bad example and some get turned off by him saying the masks were optional, sure. Not the ones in his fervent base that are marching on capitals and shit. Those are that way as always.

What's helping is that Greenfield is putting ground between her and Ernst. And both Georgia races are runoff coinflips.

There's more paths to 50, and with the VP being the deciding vote that's a kinda majority.

Those were a very small % of his base at first and then Trump went and acted like they were a huge majority.

Then the rest of his base picked up on that.

Corrik7 posted...

No.

Yes. The second he put on a mask they were like "whoa look how cool masks are!"

---

Yeah, I think you're the one that doesn't understand. Where do you live, huh? Fervent Trump area my ass, for some clout. I live in the heart of South Carolina so don't act like you know what you're talking about and I don't.

Calling something the next hoax is... new flash! Calling it a hoax! Do you know what words mean? Next means the next one and hoax means hoax. Use an iota of logic.

His response. Not the virus. Learn to read.

Also, I live in rural fucking PA. You ain't getting much more fervent than that for Trump base.

538 is being weird but the second Georgia race is absolutely not a coin flip as to who fills the seat. Its a coin flip for who wins the most votes, but Ive seen no polls with anyone over 50%. There would be a runoff and I have no idea how a Democrat would do head to head against a republican there if you assume Biden has already won the presidency. Probably poorly.

And Purdue is still favored to beat Ossoff. That hasnt entered coin flip territory yet from what Ive seen.

Giving a footjob or receiving a footjob?

As much as i think corrik is usually being ridiculous, as someone else from rural PA he's right. Rural PA hates masks vehemently and they didn't think it was cool when trump wore one. They just ignored it.

Based on what? If its fake the deep fake shit is incredible, it has his voice, a clear view of his face, and everything.

Also yet another reason to stan Hunter tbh, he was very respectful in it

Oh, who cares then? Rich people are allowed to do weird sex things and we already knew about the drugs.

Hmm, maybe it is real? Was getting word that the source is known for faking videos. I have no intention of actually watching it.

In that case I guess the thing is....who cares?

I live in Trump Central Florida.

I've literally watched people who wear MAGA hats come in with no masks and bitching at us for asking them to wear masks suddenly deciding masks were awesome when Trump finally wore one.

---

Trump finally wearing a mask was mostly irrelevant.

It came after months of telling people masks weren't needed.

Is someone trying to make the "Not everyone would have worn masks even if Trump did from the beginning, so it's not his fault!" argument?

---

Some people would have refused either way, but Trump not taking the virus seriously and not wearing a mask has definitely contributed to the politicization of the issue and increased the number of people not wearing them.

---

Exactly.

There were enough of his base reacting positively to Trump(finally) wearing a masks that there would be a lot less people refusing to wear them had he lead by example.

Trump taking Corvid seriously from the start would have been the easiest reelection ever for him.

Now he's having to go full desperation mode to suppress votes, which(Hopefully) may be too little too late for his win chances.

---

I thought COVID handed Trump the easiest path for reelection possible.

Then he went and bungled it as hard as possible.

Lol

Hunter Biden is failing to trend, but apparently it's getting Hunter x Hunter to trend as a side effect instead.

Somehow in this election storm I missed that they started charging the right wing plants who started riots during the Floyd protests.

So you agree he would have lost his base. That's why I said it didn't matter. He was done as soon as covid hit. Everyone in the world knew the economics were way too good for him to lose prior.

The US Economy has not been actually good for decades.

Trump's holding another superspreader rally in Wisconsin, which is currently one of the states being hit the hardest by the third wave of covid.

Absolutely disgusting.

---

As a resident of Wisconsin, we're still on wave 2 at best. I'm not convinced we ever ended wave 1.

It sucks here.
