    That’s fine. Give all that money to the State of New York instead of buying commercials and helping down-ballot candidates. It’s been wrongly declared before but this time might actually be the end of the Republican party as we have known it. Trump should sell popcorn.

      Never underestimate the ability of the Democratic Party to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

      Even if the recent polls turn around, they are still betting the country on the health of an octogenarian. The only person who can keep this country from descending into totalitarianism is not Joe Biden; it’s his cardiologist.

        Motherfucker just needs to last 8 months and I’ll be good. I mean I’m hopeful he lasts his term and beyond, but 8 months is the minimum.

          10 months, to be safe. We certainly don’t want him croaking before the election, but if he wins and croaks before the EC votes are counted we’ll be in the middle of an unprecedented shitshow. We saw Republicans challenging accepting the certificates for made-up reasons last time. “We can’t accept these because the mofo up and died on us” might actually get some traction.

          Again, assuming he wins, he needs to last right up to the point where he takes his Oath of Office again. Once he says “So Help Me God”, he’s off the clock, and can kick off anytime he wants without plunging us all into the abyss. (Although that might end up being our pet name for the Harris Presidency…)

        Truer words are seldom spoken. It’s like they’re just controlled opposition paid by many of the same people who pay the Republicans… 🤔
