Trump ground game takes new hit as leaked video teaches canvassers how to fake door knocks - Raw Story

@GottaLaff I frequently want to burn/destroy political yard signs. Like everyday. I don't do it because I have a fundamental belief that it would be wrong to do so - a violation of the individual's right to free speech bordering on terrorism. Apparently, some people don't have that.

While McDonald’s made clear that they do not endorse any candidate for any position, Chuck Edwards, a Republican congressman & McDonalds franchisee, sufficiently kissed Trump’s doughy ass by awarding him some ridiculous “French Fries Certification Pin.” A lighthearted & fun moment in front of a scene of total devastation…

@gemelliz the incredible thing, it only cost him $200 per voter. Elon Musk is spending $1 million per voter. I always thought that American election costs were out of control.

New in PN: Why is the world's richest man debasing himself for a fascist, orange phony?

@GottaLaff I mean, maybe this is new in Boston, but vandalism to people's property on which Democratic signs are posted, has been a reality every election cycle in Ohio for years. This year, actually, it's less intense. Plenty of signs being stolen as usual, but I haven't even heard one report of ruts being left in someone's lawn. The sense is of people "stepping into their courage" as one candidate said, starting to shed their fear of retaliation for posting Democratic signs.

@mfennvt @GottaLaff

I'd expect this kind of behavior from my Deep South neighbors, but... Massachusetts?

@GottaLaff This reminds me of the haybales that were set on fire in Berkshire County, Mass back in 2020. https://www.iberkshires.com/story/63301/Dalton-Man-Charged-With-Setting-Fire-to-Biden-Harris-Sign.html
