Not getting much press. Probably maintaining a low profile outside a small circus of friends. US media seems to be avoiding giving the troublemakers oxygen. A month ago Stone was on video calling for ‘armed guards’ at polling stations. (He didn’t mean law enforcement.)
Looks that way. 😊 I think they liked the sensational headline.
Although Donnie was talking to them the other day and kept saying he would not talk about election fraud because he didn’t want to get any one fired. Yeah, talking about it without talking about it.
He’s been scrambling:
“I’m going to see Rupert Murdoch. That’s a big event,” Trump told the hosts. “I don’t know [if] he’s thrilled that I say it. And I’m going to tell him something very simple because I can’t talk to anybody else about — don’t put on negative commercials for 21 days, don’t put them on, and don’t put on their horrible people that come and lie. I’m going to say, ‘Rupert, please do it this way and then we’re going to have a victory, cause everyone wants that.’”
One other thing not in much reporting which can’t be included in polling: the impact of same day voter registration. Typically more young voters take advantage of it. Over 20 states and DC allow it, including Michigan, Wisconsin & Iowa. Another reason the GOTV “ground game” supporting a candidate makes a difference.
A well organized ground game knows who is registered & who said they wanted to register; knows who requested a ballot to vote by mail & asks if they’ve returned it or need info to return it. In PA the ground game has so many participants for Harris/Walz it is able to do follow up door knocks & calls on those who hadn’t voted by their first contact.
2016 to 2021 people broke laws for trump and many went to prison. 2021-2023 he rebuilds his cult following. 2024-? people will break laws for trump and many will go to prison. SSDD
I'll always remember his insane (initially humorous -- I mean it HAD to be a joke, right? Right?) comment during election night: "I won!" he declared, when at one point polls showed him ahead of Joe Biden. "Behind the scenes: Trump has privately talked through this scenario in some detail in the last few weeks, describing plans to walk up to a podium on election night and declare he has won." (Axios, Nov. 1, 2020) Trump: "I think it's a terrible thing when ballots can be collected after an election. I think it's a terrible thing when states are allowed to tabulate ballots for a long period of time after the election is over." (Nov. 1, 2020) The man is a CROOK, a whole crook, and nothing but a crook.
Trump says so many weird things, I don't think too many people noticed that at the MSG rally Trump said something to the effect that polls in all seven battleground states showed him leading. I immediately thought that there's the set-up, when he loses he'll say that the polls couldn't possibly be that wrong!
What is the tax dollar cost of US litigation expense for Trump election cases, FBI /CIA investigation expenses for congressional hearings related to Trump election tampering and financial corruption cases, and DOJ voter protection defense. Where does the money come from the budget and other sources? Please break down Federal expenses and State by state expenses related to civil and criminal legal costs.
Thanks Judd, for this info - I feel a great surge of optimism that we are about to elect our first - but not last - MADAM PRESIDENT! As close as it is, I feel that the result will be an overwhelming count for Kamala, and Trump slouches back toward his Florida home to stew in the garbage he's spewed for the last weeks of his sordid attempt to regain power! May we never hear from or about him again!
Voters need to be clear eyed about demagogues and liars who seek to subvert our system for their own gain. That one terrible, flawed, mendacious, malicious miscreant has been able to bring us to the brink of ruin is distressing. The media, the bigotry in our society, and the conservative hate machine are all complicit.
Fascism kills everything, even hope! Vote blue and hurry up folks
Thank for these State by State Swingers! It is helpful information. Breathe everyone!
Thank you PI for this summary AND all the work you do. Hoping for a Big Blue victory!
So, just 1 question for today: Where is Roger Stone today?
Not getting much press. Probably maintaining a low profile outside a small circus of friends. US media seems to be avoiding giving the troublemakers oxygen. A month ago Stone was on video calling for ‘armed guards’ at polling stations. (He didn’t mean law enforcement.)

There is some chatter on Telegram by the proud boys for misbehavior at the polls. Naturally PA is a target. The GOP Secretary of State in PA and the Dem DA in Philly have both made public statements about how they’re making sure voters will be safe. The DA was less diplomatic. https://www.foxnews.com/us/philly-da-warns-anybody-who-thinks-its-time-play-militia-election-day-f-around-find-out
Is that Fox News warning its followers to behave? Thanks for the link.

My former classmate (UGH) hopefully has moved to Siberia if his jail sentence is over!
I know where he isn't: jail, which is where he belongs. Former president Putin-blower pardoned him
Getting Trump tattooed next to Nixon on his back.
Thanks for this information!
Thanks for the helpful summary in "Heads I Win, Tails You Lose."

I gave the world 4 young people. They voted blue today not just on what I said, but what you wrote.
Thank you. You made a difference. I hope I did too in a smaller way, but all who worked for Kamala, state and local blue candidates tried our best!
Thanks to all of my older women friends who have done the same. We might be invisible to pop culture but we Gals over 65 have done our part.

Hope is our future.

A CROOK, a whole crook, nothing but a crook!
That's the man in a nutshell, read him like a book!
(repeat ad infinitum)
Excellent work, as always, Judd! Thank you
