You mean democrats won their primaries in their respective parties and you see that as some sort of revelation?

Across the board.. Dems got several more points than expected.

You do remember presidential elections are won and lost by razor thin margins?

The crap you call news isn't. Which means you don't know that Red wave you were expecting, died..

The most recent polling data out of Ohio shows Vance is narrowly favored to win the contest. A survey carried out by Suffolk University/USA Today from May 22 to 24 showed that Ryan was down by a little more than 2 points against his Trump-endorsed opponent. Vance had the backing of 41.6 percent of likely voters compared to Ryan's 39.4 percent. Meanwhile, 16.8 percent of Ohioans said they were undecided, demonstrating that either candidate could still make substantial gains ahead of November.

The poll surveyed 500 likely voters in the midwestern state with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.

Prior to the primary results, a larger poll conducted by GrowProgress, sponsored by Innovation Ohio, found Ryan narrowly leading Vance. The Democratic candidate had the support of 43 percent of registered voters compared to 41 percent who backed his GOP rival. An additional 15 percent of respondents said they didn't know who'd they vote for or would support someone else.That survey was conducted from April 25 to 29 among 2,000 registered Ohio voters. It had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percent.

Notably, Ohio has been somewhat of a swing state over the past few decades. Although Trump won there by substantial margins in 2016 and in 2020, former Democratic President Barack Obama won in the midwestern state in 2008 and 2012. Before Obama, former GOP President George W. Bush carried Ohio in 2000 and 2004, as did former Democratic President Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996. https://www.newsweek.com/tim-ryans-chances-beating-jd-vance-ohio-according-polls-1712903

Marjorie Taylor Greene, the "Jewish space lazers" lady. The same person who once chased down David Hogg, a Parkland Shooting survivor (it's OK if you can't remember which school shooting this was, we have so many) turned activist on the street demanding to know why he hated he 2nd amendment after watching his friends die.

And they love her for it. She's their answer to Alexandria Ocasio Cortez because they're both women, so their baginas cancel out and now they're equal like men. Because rightwing thought is a personality disorder and not a cohesive political ideology. If your opposition has a woman with a three letter abbreviation you just find another woman with a three letter abbreviation and boom, done. Problem solved.

Same with RGB. RGB got replaced with ACB. They're both women, even though ACB is part of a crazy Catholic cult that demands women be subservient to men. But, you know, the three letter thing is important because if you're a rightwinger politics and aesthetics are the same thing. Bang, boom, done.

I want to stress that all of us posting here, except for anyone on the right, are weirdos. We spend time thinking about what our ideal governmental systems might be and how they would tackle the reality we live in to improve it and make life better. The rightwingers just rage at things like the Tasmanian devil in a Warner Brother's cartoon. They're normal and representative of their base; we are outliers because we think about things whereas the average American voter is a hodgepodge of, often, conflicting ideas because our society purposely does not demand the participation of our citizenry beyond a vote.

I would like to stress that this is not a denunciation of the average American voter. You have to work hard to survive. You might have a family. You might be single and just want to tune out after a 9 hour day of factory or retail or office work. You're just not encouraged to have the free time necessary to think of how to participate in society when 5 of the 7 days you have in a week are so regimented. Which is why we are the weirdos; we blow off steam by thinking about politics.

Excluding liberals and centrists (left or right), the breakdown between leftists and rightists would be:

"Well, healthcare should be free for everyone. Our society has the wealth to do it, the wealth is just concentrated in the wrong places."

vs.

"Hunter Biden's laptop will prove my liberal sister-in-law wrong and she will apologize to me for supporting pedophilia. Once it is released I will get to drunk dunk on her so hard at Thanksgiving that she will cry, and it will be the best Thanksgiving ever because everyone will see that I was right."

Rightwing politics is literally just watching your drunk uncle get so racist he ruins Thanksgiving and wishing you could high five him. But you don't, because you are too ashamed to align yourself with him in front of the rest of your family who are asking him to chill the fuck out.

But now you're an adult, and you can give your money to adults who remind you of your old, drunk, racist uncle. And every dollar you spend represents a Liberal Owning Unit, and the more you spend the more the liberals are owned.

So buy N****R Rifle Coffee today, because Black Rifle Coffee company is so fucking cucked they think Biden won the election.

Who is Raymond Dearie, the Special Master Reviewing the Mar-a-Lago Documents?
Time.com, September 15, 2022

On Thursday night, Judge Raymond J. Dearie of the Federal District Court in Brooklyn was appointed the special master to evaluate the over 11,000 documents seized by federal officials during an August search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence and determine if any should be kept from criminal investigators due to privilege.

Judge Aileen M. Cannon of the Southern District of Florida, a Trump appointee, approved Dearie for the position after extensive back and forth between Trump’s team and the Justice Department (DOJ) over the scope of the special master’s review. Trump’s team argued that the special master should be able review the roughly 100 documents with classification markings, stating the Trump should have the right to assert executive privilege over any potentially classified materials that might be presidential records. Cannon not only approved that request but also barred the FBI from working with those classified materials until the special master’s work is complete. DOJ appealed her decision on September 8, arguing it could risk “irreparable harm” to national security and intelligence interests. (The appeal is currently pending before the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.)

Bluto, this is a forum that maybe 30 people visit regularly. Are you really so lonely that you feel the need to spam threads with shitty facebook memes just to get someone to acknowledge your existence?

Because you could always go to an AA meeting and pretend to be an alcoholic if you need human interaction.

So, hasn’t Biden now been found with sensitive documents or something? :knife:
