Stephen A Got Played

I watch a lot of this guy. I agree with what he says about 70-75% of the time.
He never fails to make me laugh.
This video he lambasts Stephen A hard -- along with hitting Candace Owen, the Tatum Brothers, etc (i'll let you hear the terms for Owens and Tatums from Lucas' mouth)
Lucas appears on Piers Morgans' show once in a great while. I watch when he's on because he offers no quarter, and I find it interesting that Morgan will have 3-4 conservatives (one is always Jillian Michaels) and him on the panel.
And Lucas still comes out better.
I also loves his shirts

Maine-2 House Race will be decided by ranked voting

I am happy. I supported Jordan Wood way back when he was running for the senate nomination, but dropped out
He's 2nd right now and fairly close to Baldacci.
Baldacci leads with 31.7. Wood 2nd with 29.5. Dunlap is 3rd 28.7. Loud 4th with 10.2. (per AP)
Paige Loud finished 4th, so her voters second choice will be counted towards Baldacci, Wood, and Dunlap
Then whomever is last of the next 3 voter's will be given next.
It's close enough that it conceivable, but unlikely that any two could advance to the final round of two. Baldacci is likely to make it to round 3. It would take an event where Loud's voters almost all chose Wood and Dunlap and it was 4% for Wood and 4.5-5% for Dunlap for Baldacci to not clear the next round of ranked choice

For me, this MSN article is a big example of the problem with the media

Swing States: Underwater Across The Board
Every major battleground state shows Trump in negative territory, but not by overwhelming margins.

Arizona (42 percent approve, 53 percent disapprove) and North Carolina (41 to 55 percent) remain relatively tight. Pennsylvania posts 41 to 54 percent, while Wisconsin is close behind at 41 to 55 percent.

**So... -11, -14, -13 are relatively tight. I want to know how this fool defines "relatively"

Michigan (38 to 57 percent) and Nevada (37 to 56 percent) show slightly wider gaps, while Georgia is among the more challenging swing states at 37 to 57 percent.

**Aaaaaand... -19, -20 are slightly wider gaps and/or more challenging.

In other words, Trump is underwater everywhere that will likely decide future elections, but the deficits remain within a range that could shift under the right conditions.

**If these numbers were under a Democratic Administration, my guess is, we'd be told how they were catastrophic, and that the Democrats were in gigantic trouble. As opposed to "remain within a range that could shift under the right conditions."

Cheers to the Vancouver Police Department as they deny FIFA special treatment

How long until Trump starts whining on behalf of his acolyte, servant, sycophant?

https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/48630108/vancouver-police-deny-motorcade-request-fifa-infantino

TORONTO -- A request for FIFA president Gianni Infantino to be given a police escort while in Vancouver, British Columbia, for FIFA meetings has been denied, the Vancouver Police Department confirmed Wednesday.

"Formal motorcades where traffic is stopped are reserved for heads of state," Deputy Chief Don Chapman said in a statement.

"As the FIFA executive do not meet Internationally Protected Person (IPP) standards that would warrant such an escort [closing roads, intersections, not adhering to traffic devices, etc.], the request was declined," Chapman said.

***********************
FIFA denies that Trump's buddy Infantino was involved in this.

So Cucks for Trump are experiencing difficulty in KY: Ed Gallrein

According to the first poll in House race KY-04, Thomas Massie leads Trump-cuck Ed Ballrei... Gallrein by double digits according to the Lexington Herald Leader reporting a poll by Quantus Insights

47.4% would vote for Massie if the election were held today, compared to 36.8% who responded they’d vote for Ed Gallrein, the Shelby County ball-washer who has touted Trump’s endorsement in his campaign.

*****************
So the guy with the really vocal support of il douche is trailing. Granted 1st independent poll, sample size is under 500. But still. The Trump endorsed candidate, the man who features himself and Trump together with their make america go away... make america great again hats isn't winning by 1000000%?
As to the 36.8%... where'd you go pollster? Was there a Klan rally somewhere? Did the state mental hospital have an outing for their most delusional? A meeting of the "I pay no attention to anything club"?
