Quote:I think Trump is going to win because many Democrats are talking like they are going to lose. And while every campaign engages in some sort of expectations management, the Democrats have been oddly specific in their pearl-clutching this cycle.
They are complaining more and more about a relatively new, entirely fabricated, but certainly sinister sounding boogeyman that could steal away the election: the “Electoral College bias.” Nothing screams “we are going to lose” more than saying the game was rigged in the first place.
Electoral College bias is the more succinct, more academic, and more think-tank-slash-Ivy League-faculty-sounding incarnation of the regular Democratic complaints about Republicans winning the White House without winning the constitutionally meaningless popular vote.

It's almost as if he has no idea that the man he worked for for years had complained about rigged elections, including one he won.
Well, the Electoral College does have a bias - it’s baked into the cake. Not sure how that equates to ‘rigged elections’.
To be fair, Mr. Mulvaney doesn’t seem to be sure about it, either.

Quote:Donald Trump’s “God Bless the USA” Bibles weren’t actually made in the USA, it seems—they were printed in China.
The Associated Press reports that a Chinese printing company based in Hangzhou shipped 120,000 of the Bibles to the United States in February and March. Three separate shipments cost $342,000, averaging out to less than $3 per Bible. Trump is selling hand-signed copies of his branded Bible for $1,000, and the minimum price for an unsigned copy is $59.99, putting potential sales revenue at close to $7 million.

Trump Supporter on Black people: We have named these guys the black cockroach ninjas.
Q: You don't even try to hide the racism anymore?
Trump Supporter: What? You're at a Trump rally bro!
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Right-wingers are raging because the governor of Michigan fed Doritos to an influencer. Yes, really

Apparently Trump can mock the disabled, but Whitmer can't mock Catholic ritual.

If you want to spread lies about trans issues in school, rather than the very real gun problem, you might be an absurd repub.

Two notes:
1) The "Black cockroach ninjas" is specifically meant to apply to protesters, but perhaps more importantly...
2) Did they seriously try to use something as cool as ninjas as a fucking insult? There had better be some anti-Trump organization that calls themselves "Black Cockroach Ninjas" soon.
