I don't care what some rando on some other forum has to say about the manosphere.

Meanwhile:

 

 

Another reminder that the PR mess did not go away for Trump, and that for the most part media has not been able to launder it (nor have they really been willing). Nor did Joe's gaffe even remotely do the same damage.

I've told this story before, but my mom took me to a Maryland Crab Fest or something (maybe VA, maybe DC, I don't know) where Clinton was appearing that year. She tried to get us close enough for me to shake his hand (I was 9 or 10), he was within spitting distance and some lady cut us off! Mom has never forgotten or forgiven.

I do vaguely recall her working the phones on Election Night re: Dukakis. But she's still out canvassing, doorknocking and phonebanking today.

To distract myself from all the doomscrolling, I joyfully discovered that Amazon has the complete series of Xena Warrior Princess.    Awesome! 
It's even better than I remember from when it first aired.

But, very annoyingly, each episode begins with an advertisement that Amazon will be hosting its own election coverage with Brian Williams to host.

I just want to focus on strong women!  I don't want to see ads for Bezos' involvement in the election!
Seriously, his newspaper won't endorse a candidate, yet he wants to air election news on his network?  No, just no.

The big pollsters have all reacted to Selzer in different ways - often deferential to her and her numbers, admitting they may well be right, but still digging their heels in claiming their models have done nothing wrong, even as Cohn admitted they have regularly skewed the numbers to distrust any large blue/Dem result against Trump. But it def has the pollsters spooked. Case in point:

Wouldn't it be amazing if this ended up being a slam dunk for Kamala?

Some of the billionaires on Trump's side are really pissing me off. Bill Ackman for example. He's out there suggesting that Democrats are going to take people's children because of that Peanut the squirrel incident.

He's not crazy either, so he doesn't have that excuse. He's just outright lying and trying to scare people.

I for one am all for them spending their final hours of this election cycle on Peanut the squirrel (and Trump fantasizing about an imaginary meeting between Mike Lindell and Al Capone, apparently).

I have felt for some time now this election would not be close. Now I am wondering if (though yet not expecting) it may be something more.
