Non-fake, stable genius thanks to @Crucible for the new thread title.

Seniors' special today.*
They’re eating the dogs!
They’re eating the cats!
They’re eating the pets!...
So do you want fries with that cat? (*Apologies to non-MAGA seniors)

In other news, the swing states continue to be too close to call and it looks like it's going to be a nail-biting, buttock-clenching, hand-wringing 50 days to the election. (or thereabouts)
Increase your anxiety with this handy countdown 😭

Saw that about GA.

I'm assuming that each party will have 'Poll Watchers' watching any hand count. You can be sure that the GA Dem party will have someone there watching the handling of the ballots like a hawk from the ballot box to the hand count.

I don't know what the GOP is think there. All it's going to do is delay the results. I suppose they think they'll be able to mess with the ballots at some point during the process, but unless they toss the Dem Poll Watchers out, I really don't see that happening or going unchallenged if observed.

Panic buttons and bullet proof glass. What an indictment of the political situation

North Carolina guy has reached the BBC. Eeewww. So many nasty misogynist views, even ignoring the sex stuff

Anyone seen his latest Tweet? He's brought out a commemorative silver coin. Except it doesn't commemorate anything.
Oh, except perhaps himself.
I'm not sure I've ever seen anything so funny. Even he seems to know he's crossed the line into self-parody, I swear it. I don't know how to link a Tweet on my phone. You all have to go and look!
Also I guess it's silver so he can flog more of them to his poor pathetic supporters, so he can then say I sold a million commemorative coins.
He really is a monumental arse.

@AcrossthePond55
There are many things that wind me up about the UK
but independent electoral boundary commissions
apolitical voter registration systems
and consistent ballot form layouts
are NOT among them

I've only ever voted in New York (funny that) so did not realise other states display the parties and candidates differently

a tiny part of me wants a coin to go with a set of Trump cards 😂 just so I can show my kids what a wank stain he is when they grow up!

So let's see....he's peddled Bibles, golden sneakers, trading cards, and now coins. Am I missing anything? That's a pretty big comedown from peddling casinos, condos, and golf resorts, isn't it.

Wanker

I've just sullied myself by looking at his Twitter feed.

Noticed his re-tweet of something that Melanie had posted and was reminded again just how AI generated she looks

I agree @AskingQuestionsAllTheTime .
The press can, and does appear to be one-sided at press conferences.

I was actually stunned to watch one recently, and a political talk show host called it like it was, confirming what I'd seen myself.
The journalists, who called out questions to DJT, were 'soft-balling' them to him.
One would think they were afraid for their jobs.
It was very telling that his opponent wasn't afforded the same free pass, so why indeed should Harris have to put up with blatant unfairness like that?

Bad couple of days for Trump’s mate, Leon. Seems he’s backed down against the Brazilian court and is going to comply with the order he’s been defying. Brazilians will be able to get Twitter again soon.

And he’s now being sued by Cards Against Humanity because he’s taken over the land the bought in Texas to stop Trump building the Wall.

Really pleased to see him climbing down over Brazil @RafaistheKingofClay he was threatening to remove starlink from the Amazon more or less cutting it off from the world

Such a horrible man

I stand by my opinion @SerendipityJane

Re Trump's coins...
The collectible coin’s page notes the product is “not political” and has “nothing to do with any political campaign,” adding the coin is not sold by Trump, The Trump Organization or any of its affiliates.
Yet it must be bankrolling Trump somehow otherwise he wouldn't be promoting them. It just shows how practiced Trump is at using shell companies to distance himself from things that are totally his creation.

I think they stole JFK's hair for that coin. Do you think, in his mind, he believes he actually looks like that?

That statement is somewhat disingenuous because it goes on to say "the manufacturer and distributor of this product, uses the "Trump" name, image and likeness under paid license from CIC Digital, LLC, which license may be terminated or revoked according to its terms."

And guess who earns money from is involved in CIC Digital LLC?

Once a grifter, always a grifter

That’s a weird image on the coin. It makes him look untrustworthy, in need of glasses and somewhat constipated.

All this talk of overly complicated ballot papers puts me in mind of this <yes I know, I’ll use any excuse!>

Cards Agains Humanity suing Elon was not on my bingo list for this year

Oh quite. Musk is an appropriately rocket-powered bellend.

I may be wrong, but is the image on that coin actually based on his mugshot? Heavily 'edited' of course.

I absolutely thought this!
Him looking all warrior like as opposed to actually a bit of a tit

Meanwhile, the sort of questions you have when not sleeping due to anxiety awaiting a potentially life changing op ....

Heavily edited to make him look as if he were in his early forties instead of his late seventies.

I've been "on the road" for the last few days so not had much opportunity to post but wanted to say hope all goes well @SerendipityJane

The polls are all still super close (unbelievable!) although most show Harris a point or two ahead of Doofus - which is better than being a point or two behind!

More voters expect Harris to win. Here’s why that could actually matter.
 Some research suggests that people are pretty good at predicting these things, for a few reasons.
