The odds of Trump securing victory over Biden have lengthened from 2/5 on Thursday to 8/15 on Friday, according to William Hill.

I have no idea about William Hill. But the odds they describe sound about right to me, and the Nate Silver thing and the summary of Trump’s speech sound informative

inb4 BIDEN COPIUM HAHAHA etc and etc

    But I think it’s odd that the attempted assassination of an American President in my lifetime… Just isn’t surprising or interesting to me.

    Not here either.

    I have heard one person who wasn’t some friend/family I was specifically talking to about it, even mention it. And she clearly didn’t give a shit. She referenced it for like 5 seconds talking about something else and then never returned to the topic.

    It’s fucking wild. I think everyone has just tuned out of the crazy shit politics news machine… which of course brings its own brand of danger. ☹️

      Literally nobody, except some pundits, has mentioned it at all. Biden said “feels bad man” and tried to call the family of the guy who died. That’s it.

      I think this may be the better timeline because he gets like 1% of the sympathy of a normal president and all of the PTSD. If he died, he doesn’t get to lose the election.

      Fucking vote.
