I had to choose between Frank and Rocky, my flying squirrel though, because Frank is allergic to squirrel dander. Bon Voyage Rocky!

Yeah, I doubt it too

But if she's within 5 points, she's made a lot of gains from Biden among otherwise Republican voters/non-voters, and that would mean she's likely winning.

Dude, it’s a story that’s getting a lot of attention and shining a light on how crazy government is getting. That’s all. It’s not about Kamala or Trump or fascism or whatever the fuq you wanna be offended or outraged about next. I come in this thread for the entertainment, and I’m never disappointed :lol:


Except that it’s not an example of ANYTHING of the sort. Where is it “making the rounds”? In the Fox “news” bubbleshpere?


What makes you think I watch Fox News? lol It’s all over social media


Because you’re posting Fox “news” type of chit. LOL

Yeah, I’m not as focused on Iowa with that poll as I am with the swing states. MOE means it’s a tie in Iowa, and a tie in Iowa is a win for Kamala.

How is that Fox News shyt? 8 government agents showing up and trashing a dudes house who owns a pet sanctuary and was in the middle of filing paperwork to keep the squirrel legally as a rescue (he saved it as a baby and tried to release it back into the wild but it kept coming back), isn’t an example of government being too big? The dude posted videos of the thing living and loving life, and they come and kill it. Like wtf? I’d rather my tax dollars be better spent towards saving actual victims.

The fact you take offense to that or blow it up into something other than what it is and try to make it a partisan thing and continuing to cry about it is so hilarious :rofl:

Even if that poll is off by 10 points, if she's down by 7, it means she's still doing slightly better than Biden in the same state which would be bad news for Republicans.

8 agents? Hmmm. Well, I guess you never know how people are going to react when the government comes for your pet squirrel. Haha.

So what’s your voting demographic?

I read that the Trump campaign approved it before the show. So someone from Trump’s campaign read the joke and said, “This will work great!” :lol:

It was all scripted, not ad libbed. And they read the script beforehand and told him to take out the line where he called Kamala Harris a C*nt. But the rest was approved which tells me Trump's campaign staff do not like fried plantains very much.

Are you scared that I’ll dox you for Christ sakes?

So you voted for Bernie but you’re against big government?

So you’re not voting in this election?
