Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Why Trump will win


A compelling and humorous guy, whether you like him or not. His second of three rallies yesterday is below, in Circleville Ohio.


Go straight to the 3:00 mark for the beginning of Trump's fun.

I hope you are right. Biden: "We have the most extensive voter fraud organization in history". Maybe that was not a misstatement.

Make of this what you will. Where I live in southern NH, by this time in the election cycle, we would have been visited a couple of times by Democrats. This year, 8 days out, nothing. OTOH, we have been seeing Trump supporters waving signs at intersections.
My favorite pollster says that the polling of working men has been a bust and that he doubts anyone has a representative sample on which to base a prediction. We know that this demographic skews toward Trump. It may be a case where the so called experts are only seeing the tip of the iceberg.

Why he will win: those nuns behind him are praying.

Some complete *sshole on twitter has identified their order and posted a group photograph with the rally attendees next to it (a picture taken at the rally), so one can reference the group listing for names. Then he goes on to say, 'I'm not saying any names' like what he's done isn't doxing. Isn't he precious? Wouldn't you like to be like him?

I guess Twitter agrees, since it hasn't been taken down. I guess if this chap's home address was posted with a Google Earth shot of the house and its latitude and longitude, that wouldn't be doxing either, right? Do I get to claim a halo too?

I found it interesting that the rally in Lumberton was aimed at the Lumbee Tribe of Native Americans. By Trump standards, it was a small rally (held in a HS football stadium), but Trump is covering all the bases. One of the Lumbees even brought a drum!

I saw President Trump live in Pensacola on Friday night. (Don't ask me about the knife I forgot to leave in my truck; it was my father's). He was eloquent, funny, knew exactly where he was, and acknowledged the locals and "local" folks from Alabama and Florida and our recent sufferings from hurricanes Sally and Delta. He's a good guy who wants good things for the citizens (mothers, fathers, children) of this country.

I know that feeling - I went to a pro hockey game in St. Paul a while ago and they had just changed the rules on pocket kinives. The security guy in the looby looked like a regular Joe, so I said 'I'm just going to go over to look at that map on the wall' and I slid the thing behind the frame where it couldn't be found easily. He was cool about it. It was still there when I came out from the game.

My Lying Eyes

QUOTE:
“I can’t believe there aren’t any newspeople here,” said Linda of Greene County, Pennsylvania, as she stood among hundreds of cars and pickup trucks idling in long parallel lines in a vast big-box-store parking lot Saturday, waiting to join the Interstate 70 Trump Train. Indeed, although there were carloads of Trump supporters as far as one could see, and many more on the way from Ohio and West Virginia, and this enormous political event was happening less than two weeks before the presidential election, as far as I could tell, I was the only newsperson there.

It was the biggest political rally no one saw.

We see, for the most part, what the people who run news organizations want us to see.
