Given Trump is pushing "poll watchers" more aggressively than voter registration and GOTV efforts, I expect it's highly likely that a significant number of his supporters are turned away from voting because they aren't registered and yet will still end up outside polling locations intimidating non-white voters. Obviously this will be proof in their addled minds that the system is rigged.

And its a quick call to the FBI/Police to solve that. Take their picture, and hope they enjoy.

Biden has sat immobile on the Iron Throne of America. He is the Master of Malarkey by the will of the gods, and master of a million votes by the might of his inexhaustible calamari.

It's actually a decent piece from Cracked (really!) about where Trump supporters are coming from, while fully acknowledging how terrible their opinions are.

This poo poo is sticking with us even after the orange vulgarian departs the scene, so it's definitely worth a read.

In terms of timing, this is the worst possible time other than the few days prior to Nov 8th for these scandal(s) to be landing and to be so behind in the polls right? Early voting has already started, many voter registration deadlines have ended/are ending this week.

It's in the article about miss Teen USA, which she was the host of, and one of the contestants remember her saying that at the time. An anonymous one, so it's not really a strongly sourced quote.

Yes I'm sure the police, some of which like the San Antonio police which have shown outward support for Trump, will be there real quick . Or you know nothing will happen and many minorities will be intimidated away from the polls.

True, you don't hear all that much about Suharto, for example. Uninformed guess? He was more explicit about implementing then-fringe pet theories in supply-sidism as an ideological project at the advisement of American conservatives.

No, it's Democrats who are the ((( globalists ))) who deal with things like numbers and invoices. Trump supporters consider that only they do "work" because they're unfit for any loving thing beyond unskilled labour, so unskilled labour must be the only kind of real work.

Read The Shock Doctrine for a deep asnwer. Pinochet was pals with Reagan, but all the n-word economists also went to Chile post-coup and used it to prove their economic theories about the free market. Friedman in particular loved how American businesses did in Chile.

Historically speaking, this sort of gratuitous appeal to suppress the minority vote actually tends to drive the minority vote up. Shockingly enough, black voters in particular get really pissed off when someone tries to prevent them from voting.

Now, an organized effort might suppress the vote enough to cancel out this effect, but I'm not sure the word "organized" can be applied to a small mob of angry white dudes with a mounted rascal detachment.

Also, to admit that Pinochet was a monster is to have to face up to the fact that 20th-century America supported a lot of monsters, and from there to be forced to deal with our responsibility for the condition of Central and South America, and that would mean admitting that the U.S. has an obligation to take in refugees and immigrants from those countries because we are responsible for much of the socioeconomic situation of the Western Hemisphere, so it's a lot easier to just say Pinochet was a strong leader who stood against communism.

And I think my head is burning,

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Synopsis:

quote:

Donald Trump Calls In. 5/7/98. 7:30am
Millionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump called in to promote his Miss Universe pageant. The pageant will be on CBS next Tuesday, May 12. Trump owns the pageant so who better to promote it than the man himself. Howard and Trump talked about how the women on the Miss Universe pageant are better looking than the women on the Miss America pageant. With the Miss America pageant they find women who are smart and fairly good looking. On the Miss Universe pageant they don't look for rocket scientists, only great looking women. Trump calls the Miss Universe pageant ''totally politically incorrect..'' ant that's the way it should be. Howard pointed out the fact that Donald owns a hell of a lot of apartment buildings in New York City. Howard has been looking for an apartment for himself so he can crash there once in a while. He said almost every one he looked at was owned by Trump. Trump told Howard that they'd love to have him in their building and he'd make sure he would get in. What a guy. Howard also brought up Donald's ex-wife Marla Maples and her horrible acting on The Nanny TV show. Howard figured that he could bring that up now that the two of them have divorced. Donald didn't seem to mind it. He didn't bad mouth her too bad.

You know, the best part of this election has been showing conclusively the GOP's base doesn't give a single gently caress about all this very serious right wing economic bullshit in the slightest. I hope these bastards remember that nobody cares, and that the only reason their voters went along with all this poo poo was 'Well we gotta get through that to get to keeping down the blacks and gays so fine'.
