The Trumpies just don't know when to quit.

In this case, they ginned up a fake headline that claimed Gore won -- but from one of their allies!

This is the kind of BS the right is spinning out right now, which is going to make moving forward a ton more challenging.

People keep calling the Fantasy Island Adult Book Store and Peep Show (Next to the 4 Seasons Landscaping) asking if Rudy Giuliani is there.

(I mistyped Guuiliani and spellcheck recommended analingus!)

The Trump Admin has set up a Voter Fraud hotline which has been bombarded with people calling and laughing or mocking Trump and hanging up.

Trump has said enough dumb things without having to attribute things he actually didn't say to him.

If only it would prove to be forever.

It is unclear whether she was quite as tightly tied into illegality as her sibs were or even her spouse. I doubt this is forever, unlike Ben Carson or probably Hope Hicks or Steve Mnuchin.

Wow - Lithwich sure is a jealous cunt.

You sure are a hopeless misogynist.

Ivanka will leave prison a proud and forthright lesbian, a devout Muslimina, and a committed communist.

In these ways, she will eventually become a shining example to white women everywhere.

She’s old enough to emancipate herself from her very weird family. She should get started on the paperwork right away while the old man is distracted.

My bad. It seemed very plausible as a real quote. Aside from the terrific numbers, that is exactly what happened.

Real Clear Politics has Biden at 259 EV's.
They haven't called PA or AZ or GA yet.
The only news org I'm aware that hasn't called the race.

RCP tries to hide it, but they are distinctly right leaning.
Last year it came out they they ran a bunch of right-wing websites.
They also like to pretend the extreme right and the left are equivalents.

They're also the only news org I've seen which has called the NC senate race and so hey have the Senate 49:48 for the GOP.

RealClearPolitics, et. al., is not a news  organization it is an aggregation of differing opinions and a compilation of polls. It has never hidden anything in describing itself as center-right reflecting the views of its two founders but who are more interested in offering left and right viewpoints for its readers’ consumption.
Interestingly the USA is center- right as the Tuesday election underscored.

Certainly 8 years ago, RCP was holding itself out as non-partisan and neutral.
Things shifted since then towards the right.
And into a Left v Right battle mode on the issues.
A strategic move I assume to make them seem more edgy and attract more partisans.  Rather a turnoff for me, and I stopped visiting the site 2 or 3 years ago, whereas in prior years I used to use it regularly as a source for articles I might otherwise miss.  Now most of the links are very partisan and not informative, but more in line with propaganda.

Sure seems that if it is aggregating opinions and compiling polls that it is a news organization.  As is Drudge.  What am I missing?  You don't have to be reporting the daily news to be a news organization.

Also if a site is compiling polls it's helpful if they are genuinely neutral and unbiased and RCP isn't and their poll info often reflected that bias.

AOC lays marker down for Biden-democrat party is incompetent


Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) called the Democrat Party “incompetent” for not placing progressives in top positions, warning former Vice President Joe Biden that if he does not select far-left people for top positions, the Democrats will lose big in the 2022 midterm elections.

Ocasio-Cortez told the New York Times that she sharply rejected the notion that progressive messaging around the Green New Deal and the Black Lives Matter movement led to the loss of congressional seats this election cycle.

The real problem is that she said Democrats could not run campaigns.

“There’s a reason Barack Obama built an entire national campaign apparatus outside of the Democratic National Committee,” she told the Times. “And there’s a reason that, when he didn’t activate or continue that, we lost House majorities. Because the party — in and of itself — does not have the core competencies, and no amount of money is going to fix that.”

LOL

Nice revisionist history.
Obama rode a blue wave in 2008 that included a clean sweep of legislative government with 257 House seats and 55 Senate votes.
Just two years later after he and Pelosi mis-managed the stimulus bill and OBAMACARE 64 House members were gone.By 2014 the GOP had the Senate. (It still does) If Obama had a strategy to work outside the party structure it didn’t work(except maybe for HIS re-election)

"quote" from Donald J Trump, ostensibly in People Magazine.

He still never said it. That is a fake.

Too bad.
