"I'm Joe Biden and I approve this message." A brilliant ad that won't change anybody's minds, but which will put a smile on every anti-Trump voter out there, regardless of how pro-Biden they are.

Time for this man to lose his license for malpractice.

Trying to kill President Trump with poison in the mail.
Nasty people...the world is 'full' of them.

Using the mail works better if your intended victim is inclined to read anything ever.

Working it into the Adderall supply in this case would be a much better bet.

Doctoring the hair spray would also be a good route to do it.

Nasty people is right, the GOP is full of them.

The GOP is owned the corporations through the Federalists. That’s why I really don’t have much use for the Lincoln Project motherfuckers. Trying to play it both ways.

They helped create the monster that got loose on the land.

They’re gonna want credit and be let back into polite society when and if the monster and his minions are vanquished.

Fuck that.

They built the laboratory that spawned the monster.

This is kind of the way most people talk about people who are addicts.

They're going thru their 12 steps.

They aren’t addicts they've been paid in full, (Judges, tax cuts and regulatory rollbacks)  and now they’re acting like they want credit for slaying the beast they set loose in the first place.

Power is an addiction.

Think about it.

Experiment in Wisconsin with persuading voters to take another look at Trump on the economy.

  What the numbers don’t explain is why this worked so well: Was it the tailored local messages? The heavy volume of mail? Some combination of the two? The results do, however, provide some proof of concept. “The central thesis of this program was: Can we identify a group or groups of Americans who are open to hearing a progressive argument about the economy? And if we make that argument, can we win that argument?” says Bryan Bennett, the director of polling and analytics at the Hub Project. “This says yes.”

Nope.

Unless they’re sex addicts as Kissinger once said ‘Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.’

Hmmm.

I’ll think about that some more.

Diane Feinstein just got an email  from Christine Blasey Ford:

“ Now I remember,
Amy Coney Barrett was the other woman at the party!”

Meanwhile, Chuck Grassley has weightier matters on his mind....

200,500 dead.

The president lied to the people.

End of story.

One can hope that it is the tailored local message. It provides reason to hope that one can do the same elsewhere - which is, of course, what happened in 2016 with the help of the now somewhat disgraced Mr. Parscales on Trump's behalf!

I think the large and increasing gap between the stock market and "real" people's lives also helps that argument, a lot.

Hahahaha, says Ward - this woman was sexually assaulted! Isn't that a riot?!

The last couple days have seen the jimmied RCP averages rise, despite the playing with the data. But, nonetheless, today has offered a simply couple ways to illustrate the kinds of crap they engage in.

RCP lists things chronologically, usually. But had they done it in this instance, the sole finding that Trump is ahead, from Rasmussen (of course) would be closer to the bottom, looking even more like the obvious outlier it is. More on that next post.
