I think they hold their 'predictions' until the last minute. Polls are designed to influence public opinion. You can only promote something so blatantly false, for so long, before you realize you have to tell the truth, or it's your own credibility on the line. I'm not saying that's necessarily Nate's case. But I think for a lot of pollsters, it's what just happened with Harris. They were gonna make the Harris 'bump' into a wave before they realized 'well, sh*t. no one's buying it.' Just like Biden was totally fit for office until that evening when he suddenly wasn't.

I can't stand Nate Silver though. This is the same guy who had the same predictions as everyone else and then swaps it up in the last minute of the 2016 race and runs around telling everyone he was the least-wrong out of everyone.

Every state is a swing state at 2:00 AM the morning after election.

I don't think this is about China or Russia. Tim et. al. are pulling a lot of audience away from the approved corporate media giants. That's a no-no. Especially during campaign season. They're going to go after black conservative youtubers next. Watch.

There's literally a weed called cat piss. https://royalkingseeds.com/product/cat-piss-cannabis-seeds/ I get it though. I didn't realize how bad cigarettes stunk until I pretty much stopped smoking them. I still enjoy one every now-and-then but I'd have to be somewhere I could shower when I'm done or at least not going out in public afterwards.

If camp fires smelled like cat piss.

We've got a more rural system, I guess. We did get food donations, though. Most of us where I'm at were just frustrated with the lack of information or inaccurate information from the CDC. They were trying at first to say the virus was spread by droplet. I asked one of the ER docs (who has been at it a long time, and I consider to be our best and brightest doctor) if it was airborne, he says without hesitation, of course it was. It took the CDC almost a full year to admit that it was an airborne virus. Eventually the attitude towards the CDC was disgust. At the very least, they were 'supposed to be' the experts. But the memos they released were so contradictory to what we were seeing with our own eyes. I doubt we would have mandated masks where I'm at, if not for Biden pushing the OSHA route. The supreme court relented and said that he couldn't do that, except for healthcare workers (I guess because medicare money flows to hospitals, they consider us government assets, and that was the metric they used to make it mandatory). I will say, to our hospital's credit, my exemption was granted without fuss.

Honestly my favorite time during COVID was when it first hit. It was scary, new, but there was a short period where the administrative offices closed and the hospitals were essentially running autonomously. Doctors could actually practice medicine. They got a lot wrong. But they also got to utilize their critical thinking skills freely. The collaboration between doctors-on-the-ground was truly a thing to see. Everyone wanted to learn as much as they could about it. Trying different treatments and validating their results amongst each other. It wasn't until weeks later, when the administrators started slowly returning to their 'non-essential' jobs that everything flowed straight from the CDC as unquestionable truths. (We knew it was an airborne virus even before the CDC knew, or was willing to admit).

I've seen an increase in cases in the ER but they are extremely mild as compared with 2020. Dry, irritating wheezy cough, sinus congestion, and typically a low grade fever. Lasts a few days as compared to weeks in 2020. Definitely nothing to get hysterical about.

There's also the possibility that they can just wipe everything (if there's anything to wipe at this point). That's what Hillary did with her emails. What evidence? I don't see any evidence.

My senators are definitely out. Both democrats. Both will be easily rallied against Tulsi for Sec Def. (can't have a 'Russian asset' running our defense department, right?)

I feel as though I take Trump less seriously as a supporter than most folks do as a detractor. —A placeholder until something better comes along, and if we can destroy the MSM's credibility during the interim, that would only be more helpful should someone better step up in 2028. I still believe the corporate media is the biggest threat to our freedoms.

Which side of it?

I think you and I have flipped predictions from 6 months ago. The more absurd Kamala's overperformance becomes, the more inclined I am to believe Anti Globalist is correct. No reason she should be doing as well as she has. Nothing has happened other than a freak show DNC. I think the debate is a trap, honestly. It would actually be something 'eventful' (as far as MSM moderated debates go) that they could use to explain away a surge. (they're going to say she rocked it no matter how poorly she does).

The biggest issue would be Senate confirmations. I'd still try but, I don't see RFK,jr being allowed anywhere near the good stuff.

You think he did it to get Joe Rogan's endorsement? My guess is that most of Joe's audience is either already supporting Trump or they are the stubborn folks like PAF who are proud non-voters, and it's a waste of time to try to seek out their votes. And Trump hasn't actually given the democrat defectors any positions in his administration. Those chickens haven't hatched yet. Because it will be his last term, I say: Either he will grant them key positions because he has nothing to lose, or he won't because he has nothing to lose. Not only that, but Senate confirmation of his cabinet picks is still a thing.

Waiting on the media to bring out some washed-up neocons to say they're throwing their support behind Harris. SeE, LoOK, RePUbliCAnS doN't SupPoRT TrUMp! 'Liz, we need an interview!'

Just wait until you see what happens if they do.

Not stupid. Desperate. Reckless. Arrogant. It's not a matter of intelligence. Kamala is dumb as bricks, yes, but the people behind her aren't.

Well, that was premature.
