The sign falling on him... Now if that's not emblematic of his error-prone campaign then I don't know what is.

And yet he's still statistically tired with Harris. The old man who's a senile, malignant narcissist, who has lots of criminal charges, has been impeached twice, is now an overt Nazi, and and who failed spectacularly in his first term (among many other negative aspects of his record and personality)... is tied in the polls with a healthy, intelligent, relatively young, middle of the political spectrum candidate who thrashed him in their only political debate.

Sure, Harris has some political baggage and isn't the perfect candidate. But holy shit, at this stage he should be trailing her by 30+%. The fact that he's not shows that this country is in deep deep political trouble.

Oh weird. The deleted comment just made counter assumption that I was referencing a recent incident where IDF forces got dangerously close to a battalion of Irish forces working under the UN to protect the Southern Lebanon border.

My reply to the deleted comment was me confirming that was the incident I was referring to originally.

Hopefully that demographic heads out to the polling stations in very large numbers.

You are correct. That's the reference I meant.

ETA: the fact there are multiple incidents of the IDF going after Irish soldiers is kinda crazy.

This man spitting facts. Good man.

Isn't she Tim Apple's niece?

When you're a hammer everything looks like a nail.

If they can't bomb Irish defense soldiers they'll get the next best thing.

So... If it looks like voters might turn out en masse for liberal candidates then there's a freak-out about voter fraud and a demand to lock voting down. But when something happens that might impact conservative voters from casting their ballots then the rules need to be eased. Sounds about right.

Yup. Everything has to be about him. That's how malignant narcissists roll.

Give it enough time and he's gradually replace all the boring old books in his Bible with new 'classier' ones that focus exclusively on him.

The Gospels of Steve, Roger, Jared, and Mike.

The Books of Kim Jong Un, Putin, White Supremacy, Sexual Assault, Embezzlement, Sedition, Gluttony, etc.

All taking about how the Orange Messiah was bulletproof, super-buffed, the smartest man who ever lived, irresistable to the ladies, so so virile, better than Jesus, etc.

And his hardcore followers will gleefully lap it all up.

We'll isn't that the pot calling the kettle black. The restaurant chain famous for jacking prices up while shrinking portion sizes and generally screwing their customers in every way they can doesn't like it when they are getting taken advantage of. Cry me a fucking river. Fuck you McDogsBreath!
