Look, amid all the toxxes and jokes today I want you all to take another moment to reflect on this. This is the kind of coincidental poo poo interacting with human technology that can end the world.

It's funny that the Sweet Meteor o' Death was projected to kill us all DIRECTLY when it was always attempting to do it INDIRECTLY.

This has come up before, but always in an "I want to believe" kind of context. Sure the polls were interesting, but that doesn't say much since polls are kinda flukey.

The Republican should be sailing away with this district by about 10% and instead it's *this* close.

Nobody knows what vote is currently left because Ohio is a dumb state. They also don't report precinct-by-precinct so nobody knows what vote is still out and from where. Gonna be close!

Edit: Republican likely going to win, within provisional ballot range, but lol Right to Work got turbofucked in Missouri.

This is the election I mentioned earlier where the attack ads against O'Connor were stuff like "he doesn't support the border wall, he thinks ICE should be restructured, he would join hashtag The Resistance"

I haven't seen/heard a single ad mentioning Balderson's name, let alone his platform.

Every indication is that we're getting that message nationwide for the midterms. Trump is permanently toxic for the college-educated, so their only real move is to go hard on the MS-13 bullshit and all that to turn out non-college-educated white people and hope for the best.

The racist ads are definitely going to be something!

They have a metric assload of documents to get through. The trial ran quick because they kept the questioning down (federal trials go fast and the judge was pushing the tempo), but there are still hundreds of pages of dense banking records to go through.

Don McGahn, White House Counsel, has been talking like crazy to Mueller because of the old "cooperate with Mueller" strategy of the Trump legal team and McGahn was afraid of being railroaded for obstruction. McGahn calls Trump "King Kong" behind his back. Donnie might not even know that McGahn has been talking. Three interviews, 30 hours.
