Just in case someone wonders what the hey @Jonny\_L.A and I are discussing, I used the common expression “one red cent” after mentioning three communist (aka “red”) leaders. To tell the truth, as soon as I typed in the post with just “didn’t cost him a cent”, I realized I was talking about said communists and _red_ immediately came to mind.

We’ve already established that he is a Democrat, so yes.

That’s how I got my name on the ballot once. In California the format of the ballot is,

Electors for  
**CANDIDATE NAME**  
Then a list of all 47 (at the time) electors’ names in tiny type.

The Libertarian party of California had a fund raiser where for $50 you, too, could be an elector (Some restrictions apply, like getting a majority of the popular vote in the state.)

Not every idea springs to mind in its final, perfect form. As long as Monty typed it before hitting the Reply button, then it was planned.

I’ve had a few posts like that; type it, edit it, improve it, then submit it.

Yep this is UUUUGGGGHE. A video of photo of something that is… unseemly. Would be a problem for his ego. Big time. His supporters wouldn’t give a shit, cause they have plans for that anyway. Or they’re in a club.

Shooting someone on 5th avenue though, would just be another day.

As you say, Trump-cult members wouldn’t be bothered. But the ‘independents and moderates’ and other less-engaged\* voters might be bothered. And that could mean Donald is going to the big house (eventually)!

\*I don’t mean to be unkind, but anyone who hasn’t yet made up their mind about ‘Trump v the Democrat’ IS by definition ‘less-engaged’ even if they would prefer ‘independent’ as a label. If you’re genuinely unsure about what you might be getting with Trump, then you are _ **not** _ a person who pays attention to the news. Whatsoever.

Pissed me off because he and Sheehy are holding a rally at MSU in the fieldhouse next week. What are the odds MSU actually gets paid, and why did they agree to it?

That’s epic. What made it so funny was the way the cast members conveyed Seriousness and Reasonableness–those undecided voters _knew_ they were smart people asking smart questions. Such as ‘how long is a Presidential term?’ and ‘can women vote?’

Montana State, Bozeman. A pretty well-known senate race–Tester vs Sheehy. We’ll see what the crowd at MSU has to say.

I saw something today. A rumor a well placed guess? A leak? It’s not confirmed as true yet… and if it’s fake news, I’m sure there are a half dozen people ready to pounce and curse.

Here is the link. ( Now have at me you vicious Sons of Bitches )
