The guy who once punched Jimmy the Greek, hosts a gambling show, points out women in the crowd for being hot, and defended Joe Mixon during when nobody in their right mind would is a republican? I'm shocked.

Well this is ironic: I mentioned a good article from The Athletic on social media and the guy who, if not the biggest Trump supporter I know, is certainly the most vocal, asks me to copy-paste the whole thing into Comments.

I live in Atlanta now. Please, somebody make it stop, just make it stop. If I hear one more ad about how the democrats want to take away your medicare or Nancy Pelosi I'm going to explode. OK, (let me lower my expectations) 50; if I hear it 50 more times I'm going to explode.

That racist Trump ad WAS running on Fox News, but not anymore: "Upon further review, FOX News pulled the ad yesterday and it will not appear on either FOX News Channel or FOX Business Network," ad sales president Marianne Gambelli says.
the President produced a campaign ad too racist for FOX
(though as many noted last night, it aired during that Brady/Rodgers game on NBC)

No early voting in Missouri is so ****ing dumb. About an hour wait at a place that typically gets about 2500 votes in a day. I’m an election observer this year and the county election board isn’t letting me tell voters they aren’t required to use a privacy booth to speed up the line or help make sure everyone in line is in the right precinct by a simple search of their address on my phone

Probably not. The state Democrats are on the phone trying to convince the election boards that of course I’m allowed to help move the line along. Nothing I’m doing is partisan at all but until the election board calls the local officials here I’m kind of at their mercy.

Kentucky has no early voting and closes polls at 6pm. I’m sure you can figure out why.

And it seems nothing will ever be done about this crap because while it infuriates people on Election Day they seemingly instantly forgot about it the next day until it happens again in two years.

I voted in my county for the first time in 14 and people were loudly complaining about the long lines and having basically a week of early voting despite almost all of the rest of the state getting about 2 weeks. Same thing in 2016. The county election supervisor won re election in 16 in a massive landslide. In 2018, some old **** again

I’ve been biting my tongue for a while on this, but why are all of you people so brainwashed. The Democrats aren’t going to do a ****ing thing, what makes them worse than the Republicans is the Republicans at least tell you how ****ty things are about to be. I’ve never seen a poor politician. The system needs to be ripped and repaired. The stock market needs to be abolished, the people need to take back society, and not give in to this taking sides ****. THEY DONT GIVE A **** ABOUT YOU. Jeff Bezos needs to be imprisoned.

Here is our list of demands:

1. CEO pay capped at 10x the lowest paid employee in the company
2. Stock market abolished. You can still buy a piece of a company, and then you can share in the profits.
3. The dismantling and selling off of any corporation with more than 1 business entity.
4. More local businesses in the inner cities.
5. Limits on investment properties to curb a disproportionate increase in rents
6. Forfeiture of assets at time of death to be placed in a pool for universal healthcare.
7. Abolishment of insurance companies.
8. Imprisonment for Jeff Bezos. 50 years for attempting to ruin the lives of his employees and creating an unsafe work environment, and also ruining small businesses.

Your vote means nothing. Be the change you want to see. Are you ready to lose it all to make sure our kids have a better future? That’s what you need to think about.

Good luck.
