Someone’s posting unedited #MarkRobinson comments and one thing he has going for him is that they’re way too obscene to convey to the public, much less print.

my favorite moment from the #presidentialdebate last night:
#harris catches herself and says "and this... ...former president" about #trump
we all know what she wanted to say and held herself back from saying
and it's also why i can never be a politician
there's no way in a million years i would not have said "and this fucking moron"
Trump debate quotes as read by The Simpsons! By Jayden.
I know I’m an old man yelling at the clouds here but the fact that some of the most hardcore right-wingers of the last very conservative administration—Cheney and now Gonzales—are backing Harris should give the press leave to stop treating this as a normal contest.
Obviously Electoral College bias comes into play here but I do find it odd that when Trump was up by a point or two in the averages the press treated him as a clear front-runner headed for an almost certain victory but with Harris up by 2 or 3 points, the race is always referred to as a dead tie.
Sadly, the punditry is largely informed by polling but there are reasons to think it won't be that close:
*Dems' post-Dobbs overperformance in specials
*Harris's cash advantage
*The RNC outsourcing its ground game to grifters
*First-time/irregular voters not making it thru LV screens
*High turnout favors Dems
*Abortion is directly on the ballot in 2/7 swing states
*Six more weeks of Trump meltdowns
*Trump's Net faves at -9.6 vs Harris's -0.8 (538)
(cont'd)

Pundits and journos want policy details from Harris because they’re looking for flaws in an otherwise flawless campaign rollout so they can have more drama.
So they say the lack of detail is a big problem and then find swing state voters who heard that and echo it back to them for new stories.
This is how a lot of sausage gets made.

Does anyone else find the idea that a veteran crackpot conspiracy theorist like #Trump is being “influenced” by Laura #Loomer to be comical? How do we know he isn’t influencing her?

#LyndaCarter’s Sister Is Running in a Key #Arizona Race. #WonderWoman Is Sounding the Alarm
#PamelaCarter, a #RightWing #abortion foe, claims to have her family’s “full support” for her candidacy. Not exactly.
AZ’s 4th #legislative dist, located in the suburban heart of #MaricopaCounty, might be the ultimate bellwether in the ultimate bellwether state.

Political scientists had long found that candidates who used explicit racial demagoguery paid a price for it at the polls. Hence the need for coded dog-whistles.
But after Obama's election, they found that that penalty had disappeared.
And here we are.

Is there a gaping loophole in the law barring federal contractors “from making contributions or expenditures to any political party, committee, or candidate for federal office,” or do we just rely too much on this guy to get stuff into space to enforce it?
