A lot of Trump's hope stems from this.
Biden's lead isn't *quite* comfortable enough in PA.
And although he has some *good* backup plans if he loses PA... namely AZ/FL/NC/GA...he doesn't have a *great* one being ahead only 1-3 points in those states.

More on our favourite trumpette Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman have been indicted in Ohio, once more over a racist robocall aimed at minority voters.
Conservative operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman have been indicted in Ohio, once more over a racist robocall aimed at minority voters.
Wohl and Burkman, who rose to some level of infamy online for blundering attempts to manufacture sexual assault allegations against Democratic politicians and other Trump foes, have each been charged in Ohio’s Cuyahoga County with eight counts of telecommunications fraud and seven counts of bribery, a charge that includes attempts to convince people not to cast ballots. The indictment only adds to the growing mountain of criminal and civil problems facing the notorious pro-Trump pair.
In late August, a robocall that claimed to come from Wohl and Burkman warned voters not to use mail-in ballots, falsely claiming that the ballot information would be used to enforce vaccine mandates and collect on credit card debts. In the call, which was sent to 67,000 voters in the Midwest, according to prosecutors, a Black woman warned potential voters not to send in mail-in ballots or risk being fooled by “the man.”
“The right to vote is the most fundamental component of our nation’s democracy,” Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael C. O’Malley said in a statement. “These individuals clearly infringed upon that right in a blatant attempt to suppress votes and undermine the integrity of this election These actions will not be tolerated.”

Just to complete trumps day, someone hacked his website, hacked/defaced by someone who is sick of the "fake news spreaded daily" by the president.
It was not clear whether the defacement was the work of foreign hackers or cybercriminals. But in a screed posted to Mr. Trump’s website — donaldjtrump.com — the hackers claimed to have compromised “multiple devices” that gave them access to the “most internal and secret conversations” of the president and his relatives, including classified information.
The hackers also accused the Trump administration, without proof, of having a hand in the origins of the coronavirus and cooperating with “foreign actors manipulating the 2020 elections.”
The hackers appeared to be looking to generate cryptocurrency. They invited visitors to donate cryptocurrency to one of two funds — one labeled “Yes, share the data,” the other labeled “No, Do not share the data.” They solicited payments in Monero, a hard-to-trace cryptocurrency.

A senior Trump administration official tested positive for the coronavirus after a recent trip to Britain, Hungary and France, raising concerns about the spread of the virus to high-level officials across the Atlantic, according to four U.S. and foreign officials familiar with the situation.
Peter Berkowitz, the director of policy planning at the State Department, met with senior officials at 10 Downing Street and the Foreign Office in London, and with officials in Budapest and Paris earlier this month. One official said that Berkowitz’s mask-wearing and social distancing practices were lax during the trip and that U.S. embassy staff in Europe expressed some concerns before the trip about him traveling during the pandemic.
A State Department spokeswoman denied that Berkowitz’s mask usage was insufficient and said precautions were taken. She, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss individual coronavirus infections.

Edit: Deutsche Bank still wasn't done with Trump in Chicago. In 2014, it lent him another $24M for failing Chicago
That loan was repaid by May 2016. Oddly, Deutsche didn’t release the collateral on the loan until... Nov. 9, 2016.
The day after Trump won the election.
So in summary:
Deutsche Bank spent years facilitating the laundering of billions of dollars of Russian money for which they were heavily fined.
Deutsche Bank also spent years making loan after loan to Donald Trump, even though he never repaid those loans. It’ rather looks like these “loans” were russian funds laundered to Trump. Especially as they were written off.
When Donald Trump was once again going bankrupt in 2008, Deutsche Bank made a point of bailing out his failing Chicago property. The Deutsche Bank employee who led the charge: Justin Kennedy, son of Anthony Kennedy, who abruptly retired in late 2018 so that Trump could put Brett Kavanaugh in his place.
Then in 2012, Deutsche Bank loaned trump $99 million so he could pay off what he still owed to another division of Deutsche Bank. So straight up thats tax fraud by failing to report the forgiven loans as income, just scratching the surface...
And yet they still piss their pants over her emails and Hunter Biden?That loan was repaid by May 2016. Oddly, Deutsche didn’t release the collateral on the loan until... Nov. 9, 2016.

That^ right there should see him being forcefully removed from office nevermind allowing him to contest an election in which he still unbelievably has a huge amount of support. SMDH.

What’s the odds that they compromised it by accessing one of Trumps private accounts using the MAGA2020 password that was in the news last week, and worked from there.It was not clear whether the defacement was the work of foreign hackers or cybercriminals.

Of the 29 states that require mail-in ballots to arrive on or before Election Day, 28 have since late July seen periods of average USPS delivery times exceeding six days.
Apologies Byker but I can't read the WSJ article. Is it saying that all USPS delivery times on average are over six days or is there a specific delay related to mail-in ballots. Six days seems incredibly slow given that I imagine most post is fairly local.ThatGuyWhoDoesStuff said:

He might do. I don't think anybody doubts his skill in convincing a large section of the US electorate that he's the best candidate, even after 230,000 US citizens died from something he said was a hoax as well as 20 million unemployed. That doesn't make him any less of a vile turd.
This is exactly how Trump will win (if he does), and for some reason the left doesn't seem to understand it.It is a lie - a complete fabrication. He categorically did not call COVID a hoax. His supporters love it when you post this garbage. They rave about it. It entrenches them, justifies all the claims of 'fake news' and the 'biased media.'
You couldn't do Trump more favours if you tried.
If trump wins, it will be because he successfully tapped into people emotions, rather than being the logical choice. He does this through lies, fear
If my cod-psychology is correct, people make decisions based on emotion/gut instinct, then build a logical model to support that decision.
The GOPs problem is that he is also tapping into peoples emotions to vote against him because he is so divisive, and such a hateful person.
Ultimately it's for the American people to

Still incompetence in the extreme if even 1/10 of that is true.
I'd say that the attackers probably got in via phishing and social engineering, without having any details of the attack.

Political students will get it wrong. They will look for political reasons and, when they come up with nothing, make up some factor or other. They need to ask second-hand car dealers, TV executives, online advertisers, email marketers, and other sellers of dreams, but they won't as it will be beneath them. That's why shyster Trump can do what he does. He's against someone who hasn't got a catch-phrase.
We all think that we use logic to decide on important matters, such as whom to vote for, but we are wrong. The more confident we are of control, the more vulnerable we are. If we weren't, the advertising industry would collapse. Overnight.
