The only kind of surprise that would still be in any way surprising would need to be pretty damn big to register at all amid all the noise, scandal, and fatigues of the past four years. Trump tries to wow his audience every goddamn day with some new tease or outrage. The chance that he left anything big for a last minute blockbuster move is exactly zero.

There's probably quite a bit of submerged scandal yet to emerge about Trump and at least one more could leak out into the open before Election Day. But the same applies. We've been hammered with so many scandalous words and actions that nothing that comes out now could eclipse such shit as paying $750 in taxes, pardoning Joe Arpaio, or calling dead soldiers "suckers". Those dumps now number in the hundreds.

i think Trump is gonna fire someone next week. but whom

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Don't think there can be any other surprise that moves the needle before the election. I worry there will be a November surprise if we discover the polling in WI, MI, and especially PA, was wrong like last time.

A week before, no. The day of--a legitimate, more or less incident-free election, with a declared winner and no push-back--hopefully.

it would be pretty dumb to wait until after 70 million people had already voted to drop an october surprise. then again "it would be pretty dumb" not always a guarantee that trump & co wont do something. but even if they dropped something and it was actually big enough to be damaging, it would be less and less effective as each additional day goes by

it would be pretty dumb to wait until after 70 million people had already voted to drop an october surprise.

I dunno, I kind of feel like the people who have already voted are those whose votes weren't up for grabs anyway.

yeah I think with all this early voting Trump getting COVID-19 pretty much was the October surprise, and a spectacular one at that

I dunno, I kind of feel like the people who have already voted are those whose votes weren't up for grabs anyway.

there aren't really many that are

shame that Trump's sympathy vote cost Biden the election

I find it pretty inept that they waited as long as they did to try to develop Hunterghazi or whatever this is and it's so incoherent and scattershot.

yeah at least Clinton's scandal was easy to understand for most laypeople and at least the slogan they came up with for her, offensive and awful as it was, stuck in the public consciousness.

this is as clumsy a smear campaign as they've ever tried to pull off.

Trump will shoot someone in Times Square. No one will care. The suprise will be the fact he was actually right about something for once.

he will shoot web

he actually said fifth avenue

but of course his flacks will spin it as "Everyone knows he meant times square! It's a common figure of speech to call Times Square "Fifth Avenue"! Stop taking him so literally!"

everyone could see that the Hunter Biden stuff was bullshit

still worry about Pennsylvania though

I'm super online and even I have no clue what exactly they were trying to accuse Hunter of

hunting, duh

well maybe there will be. even if it turns out to be exaggerated, Biden should be all over this.

Six days from election day, Trump pays to bus his supporters in to a rally in Omaha, where he's trying to claw back NE-02's one electoral vote, but doesn't pay for a round trip, leaving them stranded in below freezing temps and sending dozens to the hospital.

President Trump took off in Air Force One 1 hr 20 minutes ago, but thousands of his supporters remain stranded on a dark road outside the rally. “We need at least 30 more buses,” an Omaha police officer just said, shaking his head at the chaotic cluster that is unfolding.

From Trump rally in Omaha Tuesday evening. Elderly people freezing, hypothermic, unable to get back to their cars. Chaotic, disorganized. Buses say credit card to cover rides back from airport were declined. Horrible situation. https://t.co/88oMs8NiIp

@joshtpm Trump’s final rally today, in Omaha, bused in thousands of attendees hours early, from parking lots 3.7 miles away. When the rally ended, no buses arrived. None. It’s a medical emergency and disaster. Go to @omaha_scanner pic.twitter.com/KJUFvQUWZH

I hear hypothermia's no worse than season flu.

So basically this was Fyre Festival except freezing cold, and for elderly racists?

He's probably actively deprived himself of votes by doing this, because they'll be in hospital, in the wrong state, and fundamentally mistrustful of postal votes because he's told them to be.

I hear hypothermia's no worse than season flu.

Lol

why did this event need to be 3.7 miles away from the parking lot?

that's so far.

Because it's an airport and it's catered entirely around Trump being lazy. The stage gets set up as close to where his plane will land as physically possible, so big boy wet pants doesn't have to shuffle far. In many cases that puts it pretty far from airport parking, where people usually are shuttled to the terminal anyway.

Was trying to turn that into a joke using "Crack's No Worse Than The Fascist Threat" and then realized I'm probably the only one who remembers that song.

THEY WERE DEALING WITH A CHINESE ENTERPRISE

for some reason I thought this was Ukraine related

I can see China from my rental car

every POTUS hertz

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

The fact Trump is stingy enough to pay for half a bus trip and leave people stranded as a result, is his attitude in a nutshell, that is just too perfect.

Wait a minute... is Tucker Carlson suggesting that he's the victim of some Deep State operation to protect the Bidens and that they stole his "confidential documents" on Hunter? pic.twitter.com/EluFYTi1lM

why didn't they use the CLOUD

lmao this is the most pathetic last ditch strategy I've ever seen

jesus

all right i admit it. i took the documents

the dog ate Tucker"s revelatory evidence, but we should give him a mark anyway

Surprise!

I think Tucker’s Canadian girlfriend absconded with the secret documents.

It's impossible to comprehend how gullible Fox News addicts are.

xpost Canadian girlfriend?

There are so many granddaughters who are going to have to hear about this tomorrow.

xpost - Josh, the old middle school saw about “yeah, I have a girlfriend, but you can’t meet her, she’s from Canada”

UPS and FedEx are known to be super responsive and helpful about lost packages so i totally believe they interviewed everyone and turned those facilities upside down for tucker's homework

xpost oh ha, I didn't see you mentioned Canadian, I thought you just said girlfriend and that I was being clever.

I'm just wondering how they had photos of the documents to aid the search... like, you photographed the documents before mailing them? That's normal.

took pictures of the documents but failed to make copies of them

a picture of damning documents is a photocopy your heart makes

Another trove lost to the ages.

But surely the dump is crowning...

the government should really look into funding some kind of secure reliable system for sending important papers from one part of the country to the other

I love y'all

like a government employee comes to your house every day and takes papers and boxes and stuff wherever you you tell him to, like uber for papers, idk probably a dumb idea

I'm just wondering how they had photos of the documents to aid the search... like, you photographed the documents before mailing them? That's normal.

it was really an ms paint file with "HUNTER BIDEN DAMNING DOCUMENTS" written in comic sans

#saveourdocuments

when even glenn greenwald thinks yr dark media conspiracy is fake it's time to pack it in imo

this seems beyond ridiculous even for Fox’s prime time jackals

I find it pretty inept that they waited as long as they did to try to develop Hunterghazi or whatever this is and it's so incoherent and scattershot.

And now it looks so inept that I almost can't believe it, to the point that I'm almost second-guessing this, like is this some weird ploy to get people to pay attention to the scandal and then the documents are going to "turn up" after all? Because otherwise it's so fucking pathetic.

I just crunched the numbers and if Biden loses every state but California and Jersey he gets 69 electoral votes.

niiiiiice

nice
