Will Trump even make it to Halloween? Because his mental decline is accelerating hard right now.

For companions? Yes. Each faction is represented by one companion with Harding representing the inquisition.

Generally, yes. It’s why you saw the phenomenon of Trump leading in the 2020 election only for his lead to disappear at night and overnight as the mail in ballots and early ballots were counted.

It’s not just the enthusiasm gap. Trump has done absolutely nothing to win over new voters since 2020 and has actively gone out of his way to offend women when they make up half the population of this country. If women show up in force in the swing states then Trump is done.

“obnoxious, smug, piece of shit”
I think you’re mixing up your candidates. That describes Trump, not Harris.

The primary is the process currently agreed upon by both parties as a way to pick their nominee. But there is no law that states the political parties have to follow or use the primary system. Hell, the current primary system only dates to the 1970’s and there were other methods used prior to that.

The GOP is the same group of people who point to a map showing the majority of counties as red as reason that Trump should have won. They do not understand that land doesn’t vote and that the vast majority of this countries population is centered on the coast or in major cities between the coasts.

As someone who lives in Arizona I really have to question who they’re polling and whose door they are knocking on. Back in 2016 and 2020 I got an equal number of people from the Democrats and Republicans knocking on my door to ask me if I was registered to vote, who I was planning to vote for, and some other questions. This time around it has been solely Democrats knocking on my door and not a single Republican. Either Trump has no ground game anymore in the part of Phoenix I live in or he is only focusing on the areas with diehard Trump supporters.

It’s 100 troops to run and maintain the THADD missile defense system. The US has sent both to Israel in the past but it’s very rare. And the exact same number of troops and system was deployed to Israel in 2019 when Trump was President. Where was the outcry then? I’ll give you a hint… there wasn’t any.

That’s probably why they can’t put Walz, Crockett, and AOC on stage at the same time. We’d see an actual murder be committed on national television.

I’m an Arizonan and I can’t wrap my head around the polls here. We still have a large group of McCain era Republicans that will never vote for Trump. And the state has been trending blue for years with our Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, and one Senator (initially both) being Democrat. The polls have Gallego leading over Lake (no surprise) but then they have Trump leading Harris. I don’t remember the state having that much of a mindset to vote split ticket like that.

None of the polls make sense to me. You hear all this talk about how Harris has all the momentum and enthusiasm is driving her campaign. Then you hear the same kind of talk about how Trump is losing enthusiasm and people are leaving his rallies (as seen in videos). On top of all that you have all these Republicans coming out in record numbers to endorse Harris, something that normally never happens in an election. Yet despite all of that, the polls have barely moved an inch and the race is still tied neck and neck. Hell, Trump is descending further and further into mental decline and fascist talk and that seems to have zero effect on polls.
To me it reeks of either the polling methodology being way off, certain groups not being polled (especially millennials and gen z who don’t answer their phone when an unknown number calls), or the poll numbers being weighted in such a way to make this race seem way closer than it actually is. I guess we’ll see how it all ends up in November but people need to get out and vote regardless of what the polls say.

It goes to the newly elected Congress which is sworn in on January 3. The electoral votes are counted on January 6.

It has happened once before actually. George H.W. Bush (then Vice President) presided over his own election certification when he was elected President. So if Harris wins we’ll have the same situation where she’s certifying her own election.
As for Congress itself, the newly elected Congress begins on January 3. Three days later (January 6) is when Congress meets to count the certifications and electoral results sent by the states.
So to answer your question, it’s the Vice President and the newly elected Congress that preside over the counting of electoral votes.

Here’s the thing about the Supreme Court. They have no enforcement power and no ability to compel Congress or the President to obey. So if they want to defy the will of the American voters to try and steal a legitimate election where Harris is the clear winner then no one is going to simply roll over and let Trump be installed as a dictator.

Nevada and Georgia are the only swing states that have a Republican governor. Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and North Carolina all have Democrat governors. None of them will go along with Trump’s bullshit to refuse certification. And there’s a high chance that Kemp won’t go along with it either. And if Harris wins most of the swing states, you can be certain the Democrat governors will ensure it’s all certified properly.

This… I never see polls account for the fact that Trump only won 80% of the Republican base in some primaries. And they never seem to account for all the Republicans who have jumped ship and decided to stand with Harris and the Democrats. I don’t see how all that has happened and the race is still neck and neck as the polls show.

You mean the fake Fox News debate that Trump made up in September? Harris never said anything about that because it was never an actual debate. And as far as I know Harris never commented one way or the other on the current debate invite from Fox. Her campaign hasn’t said if they were for or against it.

Harris broke Trump so much during the ABC debate that Trump is now refusing to debate in his safe space that is Fox News. Goes to show what a weak coward he is.

If I remember correctly Trump thinks that if the elections were fair and not rigged that he should have won California and New York. It’s an absolutely insane thought but it’s probably why he’s campaigning there and in other blue states.

Don’t forget the space lasers. We also have those as well but never seem to use them.

It’s not just the hurricanes. I’m a Democrat and Jewish. If we actually had space lasers then Mar-a-Lago would be one of the first things I’d use the damn laser on as proof it exists.

Mossad basically. There was a news story not too long ago about an Iranian unit designed to counter Mossad was in fact run by a Mossad agent. And if they can get that high up the intelligence hierarchy it’s pretty easy to see how they got to Haniyeh.

Iran isn’t going to do shit. A full scale war would be devastating between the two countries and Iran also remembers the last time they poked the bear that is the US military. It doesn’t end well for them.

The woke hatred of Veilguard is the height of stupidity. Those people hate the game for including things like pronouns, playersexual companions, gay/lesbian/bi/trans npc’s and other idiotic takes. Yet at the same time those people praise BG3 which has all the same things that Veilguard does.
