Serious Matters & Unfolding Trends!


Welcome to the S M & U T Election Day Spectacular! This day only comes around once every four years, so I thought we should dedicate most of this week's blog to the craziest fucking election of our lifetimes. That way, years from now, we can look back at this entry as somewhat of a time capsule, and see what we were thinking in the moments leading up to the 2024 election.

Let's do that.


Election Day: is November 5th



That's four days away.


Last week, I gave my pitch to conservative fence sitters on why they should vote for Donald Trump and why I plan to do the same. For those of you too lazy to click and read, here's the gist: He's always going to say stupid shit. He's never going to be the type of statesman you'd like to see operate out of the Oval Office. He's likely going to disappoint us in some way during a second term. But he stands for more of what you do than that fucking Marxist Midwit on the other side.


I know some of you have very valid, principled, reasons to sit out or write in Mickey Mouse, but the stakes are too high this time. Stop whining. Hold your nose. Pull the fucking lever and then spend 4 years bitching about his antics.



 
Tremendously Intriguing Topical Subjects from the 2024 Campaign

This is no longer a T.I.T.S. blog, this is an S M & U T blog but since this is the Flappr Election Spectacular, I figured I owed it to our readers to cover the most tremendous of intriguing and topical subjects of the 2024 campaign. What good is this blog if choose cowardice and convenience over my journalistic mandate?


So, let's take a walk down Mammary Lane together, shall we?




This was the moment when I knew that RFK, Jr. was going to have staying power in the 2024 election. You don't just assemble a Mob of Milktastic MILFs (that's the correct term) if there isn't groundswell (of swollen glands) backing your campaign.


RFK, Jr. was running as a Democrat at the time, but Biden refused to debate him, and the DNC essentially forced him to run as an Independent. It seems like ages ago, but at one point Kennedy was polling as high as 22% nationally - higher than any other independent candidate in recent memory.


He was unlikely to actually earn that margin of the vote, but his popularity remained a thorn in Biden's side until Biden was forced by Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama (and others) to drop out. Then, instead of trying to woo RFK to her cause, Kamala Harris refused to meet with him, pushing the most prominent scion of the Kennedy family into the arms of Donald Trump.


Whether RFK, Jr.'s endorsement of Trump results in a victory remains to be seen, but the fact that the son of Robert F. Kennedy now aligns himself with a Republican is symbolic of a larger ideological realignment in American politics. This is something I think we will remember from this election.


And it all started with those very big breasts.




I feel like I will get some flak for this one - primarily from the six or seven women who read this blog. But Alina Habba has been a material figure in the 2024 election cycle. This graduate from the 159th-ranked law school in the country defended Trump in some lawfare cases dropped on him by Democrats around the country. And when she stepped in front of the microphone on that August of 2023, fervently defending her clients against what she called "a joke", the social media world was set ablaze and a star was born.


In 2022, Habba represented Trump against Attorney General, Leticia James, and the State of New York for "overvaluing the assets of his property" to obtain loans. Habba (and Trump) lost that case despite all of his "victims" (banks) having been repaid on the loans at issue and not believing they had been "victims". Habba also represented Trump in a defamation lawsuit brought against him by E. Jean Carroll (which also seemed like bullshit). She (and Trump) lost that one as well.


She didn't help him win many cases. But that's not why we're here. After Habba was kindly removed from her post as Trump's attorney, she became a campaign surrogate, attending rallies, speaking at CPAC, and . . . she's gorgeous. She's very, very, pretty. Stunning, actually! She's also fun and goofy and 100000% ride or die for Donald Trump (until one day when, maybe she isn't, and writes a book - but I can't believe she'd EVER do that).


Take a look at her entrance at Trump's recent Madison Square Garden rally:



She looks stunning, she's groovin' and shaking her ass to the song All I Do Is Win despite, I think, losing most (if not all) of the cases she was retained on. That level of arrogance is something only a gorgeous person can pull off.


And Hubba Hubba, Esq does pull it off.


Now, would I let her represent men if my freedom hung in the balance . . . I would have to say no, I would not. I would much prefer a hideous, balding, man whose sole source of validation comes from winning cases. I would let her probate my grandma's will, though (probably). And I definitely would want her on my side as a campaign surrogate because she's charismatic and an attack dog who will "go there" on any issue and any person standing in her way.


Habba embodies something that I don't think enough people talk about - how truly devoted right-wing women are some of the most based people on earth (sometimes to the detriment of themselves and others). So you may roll your eyes, but Habba's presence during this election cycle was notable.




Tiffany Gomas gained unwanted notoriety after having a meltdown on an airplane, pointing and screaming "that motherfucker is not real". She is TMFINR lady and she was, more or less, kind of universally appreciated as such until April of 2024 when she decided to post the above picture to her X account, wearing a bikini from "Ultra Right Beer" an anti-woke . . . beer.


Gomas said that she was not paid to sponsor this company, she just wanted to let people know where she stands. This in and of itself is not all that relevant, but it's emblematic of a larger cultural shift that has been taking place for at least a couple of years (probably longer). Wokeness became so toxic. So toxic that Libtards in the media had to try and rehabilitate the term after Ron DeSantis successfully campaigned on destroying it and its progeny.



So, when Flappr's MOTY Rookie of the Year posted that photo to her X profile it signified something - people with something to lose (perhaps very little) had started to become comfortable with openly mocking "woke". The anti-woke campaign has been a huge success and, in my opinion, was the first step for many people to become more comfortable embracing Donald Trump.


Ask yourself this, has it ever been more publicly acceptable to be a Trump supporter? I'd argue you no. And while I still wouldn't feel comfortable sharing my politics with people at work, I also don't feel as certain that I'd be fired for them either. Simply put, the vibe has shifted, and this dude is more popular than ever before. I think small steps like the hot, crazy, plane lady posting anti-woke bikini thirst traps are part of the reason why.




Back in August, some dipshit posted a video on X of Florida Congresswoman, Anna Paulina Luna, modeling a MAGA-themed swimsuit. If you had followed Flappr, you would've already known about the existence of this 2016 video (which had been featured in several editions of Cloth Off Friday), but many people do NOT follow Flappr, so they were surprised when the video surfaced. The best part is that some Libtard thought this video made Luna look . . . bad?


Quite to the contrary, Luna looks amazing in this video, and bringing attention to it backfired on the party of pink-haired landwhales spectacularly. After this story went viral, Luna handled herself like a seasoned pro, tweeting "I have a confession to make since the TikTok Democrats are onto me: I wear bikinis to the beach and mineral sunscreen". And then, something unexpected and beautiful happened - in an act of coquettish conservative camaraderie, hot right-wing women came to Luna's defense, posting elite bikini thirst traps on social media.



Within days, Lauren Boebert, Ginger Gaetz, Isabella Maria DeLuca, Michelle Salzman, and Andrea Catsimatidis had posted photos of themselves wearing bikinis and looking very much unlike their liberal counterparts. Even Sarah Palin, the Godmother of MAGA MILFs, posted a video of herself in a bathing suit with her Bold-You-Betcha-Bolt-ons bouncing around in the ocean.


Can you believe she's 60? Dark horse for MOTY?


Sure, you may read this and laugh, but 2024 was THE YEAR when the right finally embraced its natural advantages. It was THIS ELECTION CYCLE where Republicans staked their claim as being the "hot side" of the political aisle. If you don't think matters in our culture wars, you're wrong. There is tremendous value in being viewed as the attractive team. Nobody wants to self-associate with ugmos. Babies prefer attractive people. We all do. It's easier to sell your ideas when people already find you appealing. Conservatives finally stopped being shy and planted their flag. It's about damn time.


September 18th and October 27th, 2024 - Model Flashes Donald Trump At Rally



Ah yes, the MAGA Flasher (who is also the portal flasher). She's struck twice now. Once at Trump's rally in Long Island and again last Sunday at Madison Square Garden. Basically, if Donald Trump is throwing a rally in New York, she'll be there, popping her top to show off her MAGAdonian Milk Wagons.


Contrary to what you might think, I do not approve of this behavior. Yes, she's cute and yes, I am an appreciator of female human breasts - but there are kids at these rallies and they shouldn't be exposed to boobs in the wild like that.

Yet, you cannot ignore what Trump's rallies have been and continue to be. They're not rallies, they're festivals. They're carnivals. They're stand-up comedy shows. They've even become Gladiator-style survival exhibitions. A Donald Trump rally is a full-on jamboree with Donnie T headlining the MAGAManiacs Variety Hour Extravaganza and you never know who might show up or what might happen.


So, yeah, it's not a shock that some chick would reveal her Ravishing Republican Rib Cushions at a Trump rally. They tend to do that at rock concerts.



There has never been anything like this in the history of American politics and there probably will never be anything like it ever again in our lifetimes. There have been imitators, but they've all failed miserably because they are missing one critical component - they are not Donald Trump. Love him or hate him, Trump is a singular figure in American culture and political history and he knows it. He embraces his weird hair and orange bronzer. He loves doing these rallies - perhaps even more than he loves doing the work of governing . . . but I digress.


I was struck by a moment of vulnerability Trump showed during an event in Michigan last Saturday, where he reflected on his last decade of campaigning:



In the video (for those of you too lazy to watch), he says, "We've been doing this together for nine years" and "In 11 days we won't be doing this anymore". Trump then says "It's a little bit sad because there's never been anything done like this in the history of this country and probably it will never happen again". Trump continues on with "I don't know if the spirit will ever be replicated" before telling his audience that "I just want to tell you, I love you all".


At that moment, I think he was being sincere. I think he was thinking about what he had been through, and what he accomplished. I think he was thinking about his mortality and how, win or lose, he is in the final stretch of his final true campaign. I think he was thinking about how so many fucking people come out to support him and I think he loves them for their love.


It was a touching moment. And perhaps the prelude to the end of an era.


 

The Six-Nine with Jay and Siraj



The Habibi Bros. are currently on hiatus, but I was able to convince them to reunite for the S M & U T Election Special for a segment I'm calling "The Six-Nine".


Siraj A. Hashmi (RIP), will present you with six reasons why you should vote for Donald Trump and, to maintain some level of objectivity, Mujahed "Jay" Kobbe will respond with nine reasons you should vote for Kamala Harris.


Siraj - Six Reasons to Vote for Donald Trump


It's hard for me to believe that anyone still needs convincing when it comes to the 2024 presidential election, but alas, inexplicably, polls suggest the race is close. So I'm here to tell you why you should vote for President Trump in November (for the love of God, vote Trump!):


  1. Protecting Democracy


During the Vice Presidential debate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz openly questioned whether or not we should restrict free speech via the First Amendment. Specifically, Walz and Vice President Kamala Harris want to restrict what people can say on social media and in public. This is not a one-off gaffe. Other high-level so-called Democrats are also advocating to restrict free speech (Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry, and AOC, among others). They claim speech they disagree with is misinformation and, therefore must be censored...to protect democracy.


As crazy as it may sound, this is the mindset of the average leftist today: To protect democracy, you must destroy it first. And this is a critical distinction between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. One is actively trying to destroy the system, while the other is trying to save and improve it.


Outside of diluting the First Amendment, only one candidate wants to alter core aspects of our system of government, including ending the Senate filibuster and expanding the Supreme Court to fit their political preferences. And it’s not Donald Trump.


Only one candidate has erased our borders and allowed millions of illegal aliens into the country (many of whom have proven to be violent, dangerous, and commit crimes against Americans), and then rewarded them with government benefits that our neediest citizens could only dream of receiving.


Only one candidate has worked to spring violent criminals from jail when they destroy cities, loot, and burn businesses to the ground.


Say what you will about January 6th (which increasingly appears to be another failed plan to harm Trump); today's Democrats have repeatedly undermined our democracy in the name of defending it.


Only one party has weaponized the Department of Justice to target their political enemy MULTIPLE TIMES. (Remember, even though "lock her up" became a frequent chant at Trump rallies before his first term, Trump refused to sic the DOJ on Hillary Clinton, and many other corrupt Democrats for that matter). And only one party has done more damage to the public's trust in our institutions in the last 15 years than ever in U.S. history. 


President Trump may be brash and off-putting to some, but he’s never done any of these things.


  1. Economic


When it comes to the economy, the proof is in the pudding. Under the Biden-Harris administration, everyone is poorer. Inflation has been the highest since the early 1980s. Gas, groceries, housing, and everything else is more expensive.


You don’t need to take my word for it. Look at your bank and retirement accounts. 


Democrats will tell you that the unemployment rate is at an all-time low, but it doesn’t account for people who dropped out of the workforce, of which there are millions more unaccounted for. And it doesn't account for people who are under-employed.


Some Democrats also blame the COVID-19 pandemic for the economy, but that's a cop-out. The pandemic has been past us for years, and the economic comeback was underway at the end of the last Trump administration. The economic policies of the Biden-Harris administration are the reason why the country is in such rough shape currently. The COVID-19 pandemic didn’t pass the highly damaging and expensive "Inflation Reduction Act" and it didn't halt national energy production. COVID also isn't to blame for America's funding of wars and conflicts on the other side of the world.


Which brings me to…


  1. Foreign policy & defense


When Trump was running for president in 2016, every naysayer thought he was going to start World War III. Then Trump got into office, and guess what? …Oh, that’s right, NO NEW WARS. Wars were ended and conflicts avoided. Seemingly endless disputes were resolved diplomatically. And other countries were afraid to mess with us.


Trump’s critics are quick to say that he’s too unstable and unpredictable that he risks blowing everything up. Why are they saying that like it’s a bad thing? If you’re an American citizen, why would you want your president to be a pushover? We all know how Kamala Harris responds to our adversaries, and we've seen the results: war, death, and more death. Vladimir Putin fears Trump and so did not invade Ukraine when Trump was in office. Iran fears Trump too, and didn't dare attack Israel when Trump was Commander in Chief. Everyone knows it.


Even with his policy of “no new wars,” Trump was not afraid to use tactical force when necessary, whether it was against Iran (see: Qassem Soleimani), the Taliban in Afghanistan, or Kim Jong-Un in North Korea. He also used economic and trade policies to keep China in check.


If Trump wins in November, he certainly has his work cut out for him thanks to the Biden-Harris approach to foreign policy and national defense. Yet Trump doesn't flinch at the idea of ending the Russo-Ukrainian war, checking Iran, and cleaning up the mess in the Middle East. We all know he can and will do it if given the chance. The media narratives about him don't hold water this time around because he has a track record.


Kamala Harris has a track record too, and she has completely failed at diplomacy every time she's tried it. Just ask the Ukrainians.


  1. Crime & safety


Despite being a prosecutor, Kamala Harris is soft on violent crime. She has done everything to undermine her reputation by leaving our borders open and protecting the rights of people who shouldn’t even be on the streets, nor in the country. 


Under the Biden-Harris administration, illegal border crossings rose to record levels, with an average of 2 million per year from 2021 to 2023. As a result, the FBI reported that violent crime from 2022 rose by 4.5% (after initially reporting it fell by 2.1%), meaning thousands more murders, rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults occurred. Correlation doesn’t equal causation, but I’m beginning to sense a common trend here. And don't get me started on the numerous cases of young women being brutally raped and murdered by illegal aliens with known criminal histories that have been allowed into the U.S. multiple times under the Biden-Harris administration. It's a travesty.


Meanwhile, despite being a "convicted felon" thanks to a hyper-political witchhunt led by the Biden-Harris DOJ and Democrat prosecutors, Donald Trump has a track record on violent crime that’s better than any other president since 1990. During his presidency, the rate fell year-to-year before the COVID-19 pandemic, when we had the George Floyd riots in the summer of 2020 (yes, shortly before the last election), and everything went to hell in a handbasket. 


Americans across the political spectrum have noticed crime is on the rise. According to Pew Research Center, 58% of U.S. adults have expressed a growing concern about crimes since 2021, up from 47% at the beginning of Joe Biden’s presidency. 


  1. Health


We are a sick nation. According to the 2017-18 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, nearly 7 in 10 adults in the U.S. are either overweight or obese. On top of that, the obesity rate in adults has more than tripled since 1960.


Heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death in the United States, where it’s responsible for 1 in every 5 deaths.


How does Trump fit into this besides loving McDonald’s so much he decided to work a shift? His embrace of former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.


RFK Jr. might seem a bit kooky at times, but he’s asking the right questions, scrutinizing what’s in our food supply and the medicines we take when we’re sick. Not to mention, have you seen him with his shirt off? (Mother, may I?)


So, when RFK Jr. dropped out in August and joined forces with Trump, breaking from his family’s legacy in Democrat politics, it was a watershed moment for advocates of healthy eating and living. In the process, partisanship took a backseat. Trump and RFK Jr. found common ground on an issue affecting everyone. 


We all need to eat to survive, and nobody wants their food to be tainted with chemicals that aren't even allowed in other countries. Most people care about drug safety too, even if they completely support vaccines.


Their partnership sends a message to the big food and pharmaceutical corporations: “We’re coming for you!”  Nobody likes those guys.


  1. His personal qualities


Real recognize real, and Trump is as real as it gets.


If you watch Trump on the Joe Rogan Experience, he riffs for 3 hours on all kinds of topics, and you can tell that every word he’s saying is genuine and heartfelt. Trump has never had a filter, and he’s certainly not the monster that many in the corporate media have claimed him to be. To call him “Hitler” or a “fascist” is insulting and unfair to him, to his supporters, and most importantly, to the victims of brutal authoritarian dictators who lived under fascist rule.


Trump is not perfect, and he’s never said he is (unlike many politicians).


The truth is Trump could be playing golf every day of the week and hosting swanky parties every night at Mar-a-Lago, enjoying a quiet life in private. But he’s not. Instead, he’s taking bullets, working weekend shifts at McDonald’s, and driving a dump truck just to get by. 


Most people treated the way Trump has been for the last decade would crumble under the pressure. His opposition has pulled out every stop to destroy him, but nothing has worked. He was impeached twice when he was in office during his first term. When he ran for president again ahead of the 2024 election, he was indicted four separate times, and the feds raided his home. When that didn’t derail his candidacy, they tried to kill him at least twice. They don’t call him “Teflon Don” for nothing. His resilience is genuinely remarkable.


Despite all that he went through, he keeps coming back with a positive and hopeful attitude that he can serve the country and steer America onto the right track. He seems to care about the American people genuinely. Plus, credit to him for always keeping his sense of humor.


–


Your vote is your vote, and no matter who wins on November 5th, we’ll all still wake up the next day as Americans, to paraphrase Mr. Hussein Obama. Or if Kamala wins and we are so lucky as to wake up the next day despite nuclear fallout, we'll find ourselves in WWIII.


Jay - Nine Reasons to Vote for Kamala Harris


1) You're a fucking retard. No, you're a fucking retarded Marxist (editor's note: this is redundant) and you want to vote for a Marxist candidate and her cuck tampon-loving gay toady. You also buy cuck chairs on sale from Motel 6.


2) **censored** (insulting response focused on oral sex)


3) **censored** (insulting response focused on anal sex)


4) **censored** (insulting response focused on homosexuality)


5) **censored** (insulting response focused on bestiality with a horse)


6) **censored** (insulting response focused on being obese)


7) **censored** (insulting response focused on incest with your father)


8) **censored** (response oddly focused on Jay's experience on Tinder)


9) You're David French.


** Editor's Note 1 ** I am no prude, but the things Jay wrote for reasons 2-8

were so abhorrent and deranged that they should never be read by another human

being. I am still somewhat shaken that a human being could imagine such acts of

human and bestial degradation. Trust me when I tell you that I have performed a tremendous public service by censoring this text. Please pray for Jay.


** Editor's Note 2 ** Jay reads this blog occasionally and enjoys the custom gifs

I make each week for your enjoyment (I mean, they are pretty cool). Before agreeing to write this segment, he demanded that I make the following gif for him and insisted that it be included in the blog. In an effort to finish this stupid blog, I have relented, but do not know what it is supposed to mean or why he was so adamant that you see this creation. He found it very funny. He laughed uncontrollably when I showed it to him. Please pray for Jay.


 
Expert Election Prognostication with Yinzer Jimmy


Because Flappr is your most trusted source of election coverage and I want you to be as informed as possible heading into November 5th, I reached out to a legitimate historian/journalist/election guy. I promise you that he's someone with real credentials, someone you've probably heard of before, and not one of my several split personalities. He just didn't want to be publicly associated with this blog and asked us not to use his real name. Can't imagine why.


Earlier this week, I exchanged messages with "Yinzer Jimmy" (YJ) to make sense of this very wild 2024 election season and get his prediction of who will win and become YOUR next president.


Me: Has this been a crazy election or the craziest election America has ever seen?


YJ: This is a crazy election, but I'd say there have been crazier. Andrew Jackson was accused of bigamy back in 1828. Thomas Jefferson was an atheist in 1800 (even though he kinda-sorta was). Etc. etc. Democratic politics is by its nature rude. I would say this might be the stupidest election ever.


Me: Was . . . Andrew Jackson a bigamist?


YJ: Well paperwork in the West back in the 18th century wasn't the best. Rachel's divorce wasn't finalized, and he didn't know that. They got remarried.



Me: In this election cycle, we've seen two assassination attempts, the Biden debate debacle, Nancy and Barack quite literally strong-arming him out of the race and installing Kamala, Hulk Hogan at the RNC, Tim Walz getting dog walked by JD Vance at a VP debate, Trump at McDonald's and I'm sure 10 other things that I can't even remember. What moments from this campaign do you think mattered?


YJ: It's always hard to project into the future. Everybody back in 2004 thought that election was an existential event. It really was not. On the other hand, 1980 *was* an existential election. It's hard for us to judge in the present what is of lasting meaning and what is fleeting contingency. If I had to guess, I think some of the things you mentioned will just end up being humorous trivialities. But the assassination attempts worry me as a sign of the increasingly deranged rhetoric coming from political elites. That could be meaningful for the future.


Likewise, the excision of Biden from the Democratic Party could have the possibility of upending the modern nomination system. The primary process has historically conferred legitimacy on candidates since 1972 ... but not this year.


That is substantial.


Me: Do you think Democrats wanted Trump to become the GOP nominee (which they admitted was their strategy in 2016) and, if so, do you think their use of lawfare helped him secure the nomination?


YJ: I do not think lawfare was part of their strategy to defeat him. Parties are decentralized, and one hand often has no control over what the other is doing. It definitely helped him win the nomination. He surged ahead of DeSantis after he was indicted in New York. He raked in a ton of cash when he was convicted. And the middle of the country seems to have just yawned over the various convictions.


I've been deeply troubled by these developments. Win or lose, there is an expiration date on the Trump Era — whether that be November 5, 2024 or January 21, 2029. But the people in government who have abused their power to pursue him in such a partisan manner will remain in those institutions. Sure, some of the individual prosecutors will be turned out, but clearly there is an institutional mindset in the underlying bureaucracies ... and I am deeply worried that it has become resistant to democratic accountability.


Me: OK, enough pussy footing around - who wins on Tuesday and why?


YJ: Well, predictions are hard. But I think Trump wins for all the reasons people would think. Biden is unpopular, which bodes will poorly for Harris. The most important issues favor Trump. Harris has failed to establish herself as a credible alternative. Cutting against Trump is his Trumpiness, but even that I'm not sure how much that hurts him. It's hard to threaten that he will destroy the country because he was president. If he was going to do that, he would have.



Me: What states do you think people should watch for on election night (which seems likely to turn into election week)?


YJ: PA, PA, and PA


Me: It's always seemed to me that if Trump won PA, he was going to win the electoral college. I assume you think he's going to win the Keystone State?


YJ: I think so. I think Harris is a terrible fit for Pennsylvania.


Me: What effect, if any, do you think her decision to pick Tim Walz over Josh Shapiro will have on the outcome in PA?


YJ: I think Harris was facing an impossible choice with Shapiro. It probably would have solidified her in southeastern PA, but not moved the needle much in NEPA or SWPA. But the anti-Israel left in the party is a very loud force in the party. It might well have cost her votes in Michigan — not just in Dearborn but also Ann Arbor. And maybe even at Madison. Dem victories depend on those huge college towns.


Does that mean Walz was a good pick? No. He is a doofus. She could have picked somebody who could more articulately make her case to the public. But he cannot do that, as was made evident in the debate.


Walz is, at his core, a small-time governor. He won election in a blue state against a weakened opposition party. That's a low bar. Some people who clear that low bar turn out to be political naturals (see Clinton, William J.). But Walz is not one of them.


Me: Do you think any lean-Harris state(s) might shock us and turn red?


YJ: I am skeptical of Harris-lean states turning red. If you look at the 2020 map, after Michigan (which was Biden +1 or so) it gets blue very quickly. Minnesota and Maine were Biden +7. Virginia was Biden +10. New Mexico was Biden +11.


The early vote in Virginia has been interesting, but I think there'd have to be a massive shift.


Me: Will Donald Trump win the popular vote?


YJ: Can he win the popular vote? Yes, that is a distinct possibility. If you think about how big some of these states are ... I'm thinking FL, TX, NY, CA ... a shift of five points on a weighted average could make it happen. There hasn't been a ton of polling in CA ... but if the polling of NY is indicative ... very possible.


ME: So you said Trump is going to win, but what is your official Electoral College prediction?


YJ: I think Trump sweeps the seven swing states.


Trump 312 - Harris 226.



 

News! News! News!


Joe Biden: called you garbage



Or, if you believe his handlers and the corporate media (redundant), he didn't, but you know what . . . it doesn't matter. After years of having every word uttered by Republicans framed in the most negative way possible, I don't care what Joe Biden meant to say, I'm just glad his demented brain puked out those words.


Why? Because every campaign needs something to juice up the base right before election day and calling Trump supporters "garbage" is the perfect way to accomplish just that. This campaign already had momentum heading into November 5th, but calling people "garbage" just shifts things into hyperdrive.


While it may lack some of the style and sophistication of "deplorables", the "garbage" insult has the added benefit of being a tangible thing. And there is a job specifically connected to this tangible thing. A job that's very recognizable to every American. And this campaign has a candidate known for being the most ridiculous and iconic showman in modern political history, who just worked at McDonald's to prove a point. I wonder how that candidate might "pounce" on this insult.



Good. I hope Trump milks this for all its worth. I hope it pisses off enough people to get off their asses on November 5th and vote to throw these degenerates out.


Thank you, President Biden, your final gaffe in office might have been the best service you've performed for your count- OH . . . . excuse me just one moment, my producers are telling me something in my ear.


**holds finger up to pretend earpiece**


You're telling Biden bit a baby? He bit multiple babies?



Wow, maybe he does hate Kamala and is trying to help Trump win?


The Other McCain: BOOM! We Are So #Winning!


Robert Stacey McCain shares word from North Carolina, where the Harris campaign appears to be waving the white flag?


"Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris is waving the white flag in North Carolina, surrendering the state to former President Donald Trump as her campaign withdraws nearly $2 million in planned ad buys from television stations statewide one week before the election.


The more than $1.7 million in canceled ad buys by Harris’s campaign in North Carolina suggests that her team believes, given polling data and early vote data, that the Tar Heel State is no longer in play for her."


Not sure what to believe when it comes to campaign ad buying stratagems, but this does suggest something. The Harris campaign either thinks they have NC won or that it's a lost cause and I'm more inclined to believe the latter than the former.


Time will tell.

NFL Week 8: Reviewed by Flappr



"I'M GOING TO BLOW MY FUCKING BRAINS OUT! I'M GOING TO BLOW MY FUCKING BRAINS OUT! I'M GOING TO BLOW MY FUCKING BRAINS OUT! I'M GOING TO BLOW MY FUCKING BRAINS OUT! I'M GOING TO BLOW MY FUCKING BRAINS OUT! I'M GOING TO BLOW MY FUCKING BRAINS OUT! I'M GOING TO BLOW MY FUCKING BRAINS OUT! I'M GOING TO BLOW MY FUCKING BRAINS OUT! I'M GOING TO BLOW MY FUCKING BRAINS OUT!"


That quote is from me in this week's BIG TDs Football Blog! See what you're missing out on?

Libtards lost their minds after Nick Bosa crashed a SNF post-game interview and showed off his MAGA. They called him a homophobe. They called him a racist. They called him dumb. They called him racist and dumb. And they're not wrong to point out how the "shut and dribble" crowd is being silent right now.


Honestly, I agree with that notion. I do not like when athletes bring their politics onto the field or into my life. I want sports to be my escape from politics and they used to be until these same libtard sports writers turned Colin Kaepernick into a civil rights icon. THEY DID THIS. They ruined sports for a decade because they felt compelled to valorize Kaepernick and demonize anyone who just wanted to watch sports without being on the receiving end of a lesson in Marxism.


Kaepernick turned into Megan Rapinoe, who turned into Steve Kerr, who turned into LeBron, and so on and so on. They made it trendy (and profitable) to become an athlete-activist. And it would not stop! They put BLM on football fields. They sang "the black national anthem" at the Super Bowl. They bullied every league into making it impossible to just watch a sporting event.


So, do I like that Nick Bosa got political on the field? No, I don't, BUT FUCK THESE LIBTARDS! FUCK THEM SO HARD. FUCK THEM UP THE ASS. FUCK THEM USING ONE OF THOSE DYSTOPIAN-LOOKING SEX MACHINE CONTRAPTIONS! FUCK 'EM!


I probably would've never become hyper-political, joined Twitter, or started this blog if they had just left me alone! FUCK 'EM. FUCK 'EM. FUCK 'EM. FUCK 'EM.



Also, a big shoutout to hair restoration expert, Brian Urlacher, who took time away from liking Sydney Sweeney's photos to show his support for Bosa on Instagram. Urlacher is an Alpha Male and is one of only a few Chicago Sports icons who has never disappointed me (except for when they lost the SB XLI, but that wasn't his fault). This dude is the genuine article and has never given two fucks about what the media has said about his support for Trump since he retired.


I hope Urlacher gets invited to the White House sometime in the next four years alongside Jay Cutler, Olin Kreutz, Robbie Gould, and a few other random Chicago Bears from my youth. The man is a true American patriot and should be recognized as such.


The Dodgers: won the World Series


Don't care. Nerds ruined baseball.


Hockey: I would, but the blog is already way too long.


We'll get back to that next week.



We must investigate the literalness of this BSO headline (for journalistic purposes):



Yep, that's Taylor Swift, "rubbing Brittany Mahomes' baby bump" in a photo from what certainly appears to be a Kansas City Chiefs game. This is a literal BSO headline. Well done gents.


You know, this story (admittedly from a few weeks back) is the perfect way to end this Election Day Spectacular. On one side, you have Taylor Swift, a childless libtard cat lady who openly endorsed Kamala Harris. On the other, you have Brittany Mahomes, a sexy mother of two with a third on the way, who was bullied into admitting she was supporting Donald Trump.



Mahomes and Swift were friends before endorsing their preferred candidates. They have remained friends even after supporting opposing sides in this election. That's nice to see and I'm not sure Swift would've allowed herself to be photographed with Mahomes in 2020, given the "optics" and her "career". Perhaps we've entered into somewhat of a detente when it comes to election matters. Maybe people are starting to realize that not every person who votes for Donald Trump is a "nazi" and not every person who votes for Kamala Harris is a "filthy, retarded, Marxist, who wants to butcher children and worships Satan".


Let's see if the comments to Brittany Mahomes' Instagram post can provide any insight to help bolster this theory.


First up we have, jbold94 who asked "Taylor isn’t wanting you to abort is she?" Hmmm . . . that seems to be a reference to Swift's pro-abortion stance, which she mentioned as a determining factor in her decision to endorse Harris.


Jamplus003 commented "Republicans are really the 'poory (sic) educated'!!!", which I assume was meant to be an insult. An ironic one, but still, an insult.


Singlemomwinning chimed in with "Maybe Taylor could get pregnant- wait 8 months and get an abortion? And then you could all have a party and celebrate women’s rights?" which . . . yeah, pretty pointed.


And finally, my favorite comment of the week came from an exchange between knee_grow.23 and chimommy23, where in Chimommy replied "gross AF 🤮" to a pro Trump comment which led Mr. Knee Grow to respond with "Hahaha the pronoun thinks it’s “gross”. Just a little words of advice….Start digging in your closet now and find your pink kitty hat. Dust it off because in a couple of weeks, you’re going to be doing a lot of walking/chanting while wearing it."


OK, so maybe we're not ready to turn the political temperature just yet, but . . . it was worth a shot!


 

Memes From the 2024 Election!


Rather than hand out a meme of the week award, I figured I'd take a look back at some of the memes from the past 18 months and pick some memorable ones as a way to revisit some moments from this insane cycle.



Remember that Oliver Anthony guy? I'm sure he's still making music, but it feels like he's disappeared. When that song came out it drove political discourse for weeks, mainly because he complained that the government didn't care about the people and the media didn't like that.

They had to protect Biden and they did, until they didn't.



Remember "cheap fakes"? That was the excuse that Karine Jean-Pierre's way of describing unedited clips of Joe Biden suffering from cognitive and physical decline.


Hard to believe they thought anyone would buy that stuff.


  

This one was from the week Trump was convicted. Turns out it didn't really matter whatsoever in this election. The media thought it would, but it didn't.


LOL, nobody gave a shit. How crazy is that? We don't even talk about the convictions anymore and he's supposed to be sentenced at some point, right?


Yeah, the camo stuff was funny. There was a week or so there when they thought they were going to reclaim middle America by wearing Harris-Walz camo hats.


They picked an effeminate soy boy from Minnesota as the VP and they viewed him as rugged and masculine because they're even gayer than he is.



Remember Vivek? Nothing else. Just, remember that guy? Hah.



I like Holly Briden. This is going to sound retarded because she has like literally 80K more followers than we do, but I think she's one of the most underrated shit posters out there. This Tampon Tim meme was so simple, but she used the phrase "breakroonie" and it cracked me up.


Yeah, this was from Biden's State of the Union. He called Laken Riley, "Lincoln Riley", which upset conservatives, but he also said she was "Was killed by an illegal" which was 100% true, but you can't tell the truth so he upset the libtards.


They really thought they could run this man again.



Those pro-terrorism protests turned the Democrat party upside down in a way that I don't think they have recovered from. They probably can't recover from it until that war ends.


Those protests ended the career of the DEI president of Harvard University. The fucking Muslim mayor of Dearborn, Michigan, endorsed Trump. Wild times.



God help the Libtards when Barron comes of age and decides he wants revenge.



Thank the lord that little homosexual missed. The world would be a much darker place right now if he hadn't.



They kicked her campaign off like this. She deserves to lose.


"In Springfield, they're eating the cats, they're eating the dogs" is a line from this campaign that will we remember.



Last one.


Probably my favorite Trump image ever. It's very difficult for me to look at this photo and not smile. Stripped of all context, it's peak Americana.


In context, it's still a beautiful moment in time captured and saved for eternity.


That image is either the prelude to something great or something horrible.


In a few days . . . we're about to find out
