This will likely put off stupid people that don't know the difference but they weren't voting Trump anyhow if they are that easily brainwashed by media. If they believe the media then they already think Trump is a nazi 1

K D Posted October 28 Posted October 28 13 minutes ago, Roundybout said: Well your GOP counterparts are sure ramping up the damage control Yea because they are responding to the fake news outrage. In a perfect world the media would cover the event in good faith and say 1 rogue guy said a stupid joke that didn't land with the audience and Trump came out and denounced it. And it would be the end of the story. I didn't see anything in the media about George Lopez saying Mexicans steal the day before at a Kamala rally. Wouldn't that be equally shameful if we are playing that game? Should be headlines in the newspaper too. 1 1

It matters what the people who were the butt of the jokes. What are they going to do on Election Day? Jokes or not that was not smart so close to Election Day. I’m not the editor of the post and times. Don’t get mad at me. I never told you not to vote for trump, in fact I expect you to and hope you still do. I agree that it was not a good idea to put TH on stage, that's why I posted: 3 hours ago, Tenhigh said: I think it was stupid for Trump to put him on.... Why do you think I am mad at you? I have no reason to be. And who do you think is confusing you for the editor of newspaper? 1
RiotAct Posted October 28 Posted October 28 just as a random data point, I rode my bike to the Audubon Library in Amherst about a half hour ago, and the line for early voting at the senior center next door was INSANELY long. 1
B-Man Posted October 29 Posted October 29 USA Today, 2020: Trump Is Dangerous. USA Today, 2024: Pass! Ed Morrissey Has a contagion of cowardice swept across the Ivory Towers of the Protection Racket Media? Or has a sudden realization of their lack of relevance prompted some last-minute soul-searching? As Glenn Reynolds often advises, perhaps we should embrace the healing power of "both." Late yesterday, USA Today became the latest national media outlet to withhold an endorsement in the 2024 presidential election. Unlike the Washington Post, the editors declined to publish this decision or explain it on their own pages https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2024/10/29/usa-today-were-passing-on-endorsements-too-n3796421

B-Man Posted November 2 Posted November 2 Surest sign that they expect Trump to win. Jerry Seinfeld slams his children’s school for offering ‘distressed’ students day off after election High school students at Ethical Culture Fieldston School also won’t be assigned homework on the night of the election By Amber Raiken Jerry Seinfeld has slammed his children’s school for offering a day off to students who are “distressed” by the 2024 US presidential election. The Ethical Culture Fieldston School – a school in New York City for students between pre-K and 12th grade – sent an email to the community leading up to the election, as reported by theNew York Times. In one section of the message, the principal of the upper school, Stacey Bobo, said that ninth through 12th graders who “feel too emotionally distressed” due to the election will be excused from class on Wednesday, November 6. Or, instead of taking off the day after the election, high schoolers can be excused from classes when the election results are announced. Speaking to the publication, Seinfeld – whose sons attended the school – hit back at the institution for offering students a day off because of election stress. He alleged that it was these types of decisions made by the school that encouraged him to transfer his youngest son to a different private school in the eighth grade. “This is why the kids hated it,” he said. “What kind of lives have these people led that makes them think that this is the right way to handle young people? To encourage them to buckle. This is the lesson they are providing, for ungodly sums of money.” https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/jerry-seinfeld-election-private-school-students-b2639844.html
B-Man Posted November 4 Posted November 4 State of Play, November 3, 2024 By Roger Kimball The conduct of political warfare is not unlike the conduct of the wars that deploy armies rather than candidates, navies rather than the media, aircraft rather than pollsters. There is always the temptation to think that the assumptions and tactics of the last war are relevant to the current campaign. This is especially the case, I believe, in the 2024 presidential race. The principals are the same: Donald Trump vs. what Vivek Ramaswamy has dubbed “the System.” The Dems changed out their primary avatar in July, shoehorning in Kamala Harris, where Joe Biden had been standing. But that maneuver, though profoundly anti-democratic, was merely a cosmetic expedient. The public face of the campaign was changed. The organizing soul remained the same. In essence, the Dems are waging the same campaign now that they waged in 2016, in 2020, and beyond. Counting once again on their huge advantages in money (almost 3 to 1) and near total control of the media, they believe—or at least have acted as if they believe—that they can play the same game this time and win. They have not yet noticed—or at least have not yet effectively recalibrated their campaign to account for the fact—that many things “on the ground” have changed radically. The Dems are fighting the last war. Trump is not. For one thing, the day-to-day running of the Trump campaign, overseen from on high by Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, is superb. Unlike in 2016 or 2020, this year the Trump juggernaut is a well-oiled, multi-chambered, highly adaptive machine. Now, on the veritable eve of the election, Trump’s forces are like Hannibal’s army gathered on the plains at Cannae in 216 BC. The Roman army vastly outnumbered Hannibal’s. But the Carthaginians’ superior strategy crushed the Romans, whose losses were fully ten times what Hannibal’s were. Will the Democrats resort to human sacrifice, as did the Romans, after their catastrophic loss? Not literally, perhaps. But expect a lot of blame-gaming and ritual humiliation. There are various technical indications that Trump is poised for victory. Three days before the 2020 election, Joe Biden was almost eight points ahead of Trump. As I write, Trump is almost half a point ahead of Harris nationwide and leads comfortably in 5 out of 7 battleground states. Where he is behind—Wisconsin and Michigan—it is by a fraction of a point. Moreover, this time Virginia, New Hampshire, and even Minnesota, Tampon Tim Walz’s home state, have been declared “in play.” The polls have always underestimated Trump’s electoral potency. As of Saturday afternoon, Rasmussen is predicting Trump wins “comfortably.” Expect his lead to swell on election night. Many people have said that absent COVID in 2020, Trump would have won. There is no COVID to stymie voters this time. I understand that the Democrats will endeavor to cheat. But so far, Trump’s team has been markedly successful in heading off some of the more obvious feints. A judge in Virginia orders Glenn Youngkin to restore some 1600 non-citizen voters to the rolls; SCOTUS reverses the decision. In Pennsylvania, the state Supreme Court ruled that ballots arriving without the correct date may not be counted—a big win for the GOP. In Arizona, a judge ruled that the (Democratic) Secretary of State release the list of some 98,000 voters who had marked as U.S. citizens without documentary proof. It is also worth noting that the GOP’s efforts to encourage early voting have “virtually erased the Democrat voter-registration lead, on top of historic early-voting numbers for Republicans.” More at the link: https://amgreatness.com/2024/11/03/state-of-play-november-3-2024/ .
