We’re getting into the heart of election season. Today is only 92 days out from the General Election.
The Democratic convention starts August 17th and the Republican convention starts August 24th.
In the red corner, we have the incumbent and reigning memory champion, Donald John Trump.
In the blue corner, we have Obama’s BFF, the gang-fightin’ Amtrak-ridin’ Joe Biden.
It’s the worst year of our lives, and this one is for all the marbles.
Lettuce GOGOGOGO!

Would a carbon rod actually be green? That always bothered me.

Question: I’m a single issue voter who wants a Federal ban on malarkey. Who should I vote for?

SMH. It snapped off a door on the space shuttle. I, for one, welcome our new 30-year-old-simpsons-trivia overlords.

Boy it’s been a while. You know that was based on Jerry Maguire? So I’m even more ashamed to forget.
There’s Regina King too, who dominated this year with her performance in Watchmen.
Let’s say Homer was already plenty irradiated himself to make the rod green.

If anything, it’s the other way around.
Deep Space Homer came out in 1994, two years before Jerry Maguire.
"Deep Space Homer" is the fifteenth episode of the fifth season of American animated television series The Simpsons, which was first broadcast on Fox in the United States on February 24, 1994. In the episode, NASA selects Homer Simpson to participate in a spaceflight to spark public interest in space exploration and boost low ratings of the launches. Once in space, his incompetence destroys the navigation system on board the Space Shuttle.

I really don’t want to see any polls without a comparable 2016 poll, and even then I am shading 2020 a few points towards Trump due to election fuckery. Unless Biden is 8+ points up in key swing states in November, I’m assuming Trump is winning.

Clinton had a 12 point lead in Michigan in the 2nd half of October. Even a couple days before the election she was still up 5 points in Michigan. Right now Biden’s up about 7.8 in Michigan. You also have to think that there will be some tomfoolery leading up to the election that will get the rubes back on Trump’s side. i.e. more Trump bucks or Trump finding a miracle corona cure, etc.

I can’t - so much can happen in 3 months, especially with a pres who will stop at nothing to win.

Even if by the 4th we have evidence of a Biden landslide it’s still likely to be a ranting and raving shit show.

Well, in fairness, some people are saying that this election is the biggest fraud in history. So it’ll take some time to sort it all out.
