I innocently thought, let’s read up on the US presidential election thread…

I still find the concept of things like Black or Jewish Nazis to be utterly fascinating. I guess it's a combination of self loathing/internalized hatred and some warped form of exceptionalism where the Leopards Specifically Eating Black Faces Party won't eat HIS black face if he's a part of it or something. Then again, maybe he doesn't care about any of that and just really wants to own slaves...

Oh my, some of his comments. Naughty naughty, mr. Lieutenant governor.

Yeah, he already publicly made a lot of disgusting comments so it's not surprising, it feels more like he made the mistake of admitting he was a Nazi rather than simply acting like one, I'd bet that Trump campaign is more upset about him liking transgender porn than his actual disgusting comments and views, many of the current MAGA fanbase would cheer on his comments, except from him liking transgender porn.

Not like he hasn't already said sick shit about women, abortion in public along with advocating for murder. Yet another in the long line of extremely hypocritical, far-right Christians and Trump was acting like his best friend until now. Hope he stays in the race to drag down Republicans on the ballots, then after he loses, the disgusting POS can fade away into obscurity.

Twitter users, please save this investigative shit until tomorrow, when he can no longer drop out!

got a piss fetish huh? I can imagine the face of some woman when he tries to get her into that. Should that be a look of disgust, then laughing, then shrugging and going along with it?

Also, this beats even Trump's inflammatory comments about grabbing women.  You just can't beat a black dude that likes nazis and golden shower sh!t and trannies (according to rol), it's impossible.   And nothing against transgender people but it might just be another fetish to get into.

Trump and republicans trying to perform more election interference this time in Nebraska in an already unfair electoral college that doesn't give the presidency to the popular vote.

With the major-party presidential candidates in close battles in a sparse landscape of battleground states, every electoral vote matters. There are scenarios where either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump wins 269 or 270 electoral votes. Part of the underlying picture is that each of them has been expected to snag a single Electoral College vote from one of the two states (Maine and Nebraska) that allocate them by congressional district. Biden won the Omaha-based Second Congressional District of Nebraska in 2020, when Trump won the largely rural Second Congressional District of Maine. Polls are showing the same outcome is likely this year.

So the two campaigns have hungrily looked at a potential gain or loss of an electoral vote if either state moved toward a winner-take-all system. But only Nebraska, pushed aggressively by Team Trump, has seriously moved toward taking that step in 2024. It hasn’t happened yet, in part because of internal Nebraska Republican dissension and in part because Maine Democrats have threatened to retaliate and make the whole exercise pointless. But now, at the very last minute, the heist may be back on, as the Nebraska Examiner reports:

The national Republican push to help former President Donald Trump win all five of Nebraska’s Electoral College votes is ramping up again, and this time it might work.


Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen on Wednesday hosted two dozen state senators at the Governor’s Mansion, along with Secretary of State Bob Evnen, the state’s chief election official.


Several who attended the meeting said some senators who had wavered earlier showed more support now for changing Nebraska to the winner-take-all system of awarding electoral votes this year.

Governor Jim Pillen has talked off and on in recent weeks about calling a special session of the legislature (the state’s second this year) to give Trump this very special gift if he could secure the votes to overcome a likely Democratic-led filibuster. Now he’s bringing in some outside help:

State senators at Wednesday’s meeting at the Governor’s Mansion heard from Trump ally U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., about the national security and economic stakes if voters don’t return Trump to the White House.


A national GOP spokeswoman said Graham’s visit shows how seriously Republicans are treating the need for Trump to win Nebraska’s 2nd District. Some have argued it could break a 269-269 Electoral College tie.

One Republican legislator involved in this skullduggery dismissed complaints about such a last-minute change by citing the substitution of Harris for Biden on the Democratic side. Apparently, rules of fair play no longer matter, if they ever did, to Trump’s backers.

So why didn’t Pillen (and Lindsey Graham, and Trump’s other operatives) put on a full-court press earlier? This explanation from Politico Playbook is persuasive:

Back in April, when the Nebraska idea was first gaining steam, Maine’s Democratic House Majority Leader Maureen Terry issued a statement indicating that if Nebraska made such a move, she would push for a like-for-like move in her state, which delivered one electoral vote to Trump in 2016 and 2020.


[Democratic] Gov. Janet Mills would be required to call a special session of the legislature. But the stickier wicket is in the timing: A bill only becomes law in Maine 90 days after it’s passed, unless the bill receives a two-thirds vote in each chamber (Democrats currently have majorities, but not supermajorities). We’re 46 days away from Nov. 5, and 87 days from Dec. 16, when electoral votes are set to be cast.

More than likely, the electoral-vote robbers chose to postpone their gambit until it was too late for Democrats to neutralize the theft in Maine.

It appears the effort to nail down the votes needed to pull off the Nebraska heist will come down to a very small handful of state senators. All sorts of horse-trading could ensue. But there are good odds Republicans will “rig” the Electoral College by one vote, and unless a creative lawsuit is in the offing, no one will be able to do anything about it.
