Is Karen McDougal expected to testify?

Or just Stormy.

Nancy Pelosi slammed Katy Tur just now.

3:38pm eastern time Monday on MSNBC
They were discussing job creation and Tur defended Trumps job losses because of Covid
Nancy said “if you want to be an apologist for Donald Trump, maybe that’s your role here”.
Tur said “I don’t think I’ve ever been accused of that”.

I laughed out loud.

My prediction on where the polls are headed.

I just have the good feeling that in national polling that Biden will slowly increase his numbers while Trump, 3rd party, and Undecideds will slowly decrease.
Here is my national percentage prediction and I think the 6 primary swing states will follow pretty much the same trend.

May. Trump 43 Biden 42 Others 10 Undec 5
June Biden 44 Trump 42 Others 9 Undec 5
July Biden 45 Trump 42 Others 8 Undec 5
July Biden 46 Trump 42 Others 8 Undec 4
Aug Biden 47 Trump 42 Others 7 Undec 4
Sept Biden 48 Trump 41 Others 7 Undec 4
Oct Biden 49 Trump 41 Others 6 Undec 4
Nov Biden 50 Trump 41 Others 6 Undec 3

Actual Election night results:
Biden 53 Trump 43 Others 4

Will RFK Jr be the Libertarian Party Candidate?

Their nominating convention is on May 24.
If he hasn’t secured enough places in state ballots for an Independent run, I’d bet he would try to be the Libertarian candidate which has a better process of getting on ballots. They were on all 50 states in 2016 and 2020.

I don’t know what’s better for Biden.
We will already have Cornel West and Jill Stein out there (not sure how many states ballots they will be on).

Would you tell a little fib to help Biden win.

Are these desperate times?
Is the coming election a desperate effort to save our democracy?
If you said yes, what would you do to help Biden hold the White House and the Democrats win the House and keep the Senate?

Sure, there is donating and volunteering to campaigns.
But, can you think of anything else?
Here’s my idea:
For those of us that have Trumper/Republicans spouses or partners.
My plan is to make a deal with my significant other that we will go to the polls together on Election Day and vote at the same time.
But, and here is the fibbing part, I will actually go vote early by myself before Election Day.
Then, on Election Day, I will make sure that my partner and I are so busy after work with a great dinner or party opportunity that we don’t make it to the polls in time for us to vote.
And I will say to my partner, “well, it’s ok, since our different votes would have just cancelled each other out anyway”.

Now many of you will say I’m a terrible person for lying to my partner.
And I’m ok with that.
As I stated earlier…desperate times.

Rust belt men might decide the election.

Big discussion about the male union members in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania being targeted by the Biden administration.
If Biden wins these 3 states again, there’s really no path for Trump.

The discussion I saw on Morning Show said Bidens camp sees a real opening particularly with over 40 men in these states who are union members to flip from Trump to Biden or, at least, vote 3rd party or stay home. A few % in these states could be very valuable.

Interesting.

Take your guess: does the GA Judge rule for Fani or against?

I think what he did today with dismissing the 6 cases was his gift to Trump.
But I don’t think he will rule that Willis is off of the case.
At least, I’m hoping not. Fingers crossed 🤞

Will NO LABELS finally name a ridiculous Presidential ticket?

If so, who will it be.
Did you know they actually have a website to spread propaganda and ask for money.
https://www.nolabels.org/
If they do actually find two losers to run as a ticket, I can’t imagine it being two people with decent credentials…is Joe Lieberman still alive? 🤪
