Does this ad have something to do with the “guys constantly thinking about the Roman Empire” meme?

Maybe it’s just another white supremacist fever dream. They aren’t satisfied to simply pilfer ancient Roman symbols like Mussolini did, they have to pilfer an entire language.

Oh god. You’re totally right! I thought this was some sort of absurdist semi-high brow joke, but they did just type Latin into Google translate, because that’s what those latins speak, didn’t they?

So I looked up the thing Dan Quayle supposedly said1) and it turns out he never said this; it was a joke Representative Claudine Schneider of Rhode Island made in April 1989 at “a gathering of Republicans” that got traction.
However, according to Snopes, Quayle did say:
“People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history.”
When he’s right, he’s right.
1) “I regret I didn’t study Latin harder in school so I could converse with people in Latin America.”

Maybe whoever heard it wrong did so because Quayle was fucking a couch when he said it?

“I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy - but that could change.”
That one was oddly prophetic

Granted it’s the fucking NY Times, but still, for any sane person, doesn’t knowing all you need to know about Tromp mean you’d NEVER EVER vote for him? And how in the bloody L is he still leading???
Cripes on a cracker…

There is a quiet sect of statistician-type folk who believe that the mechanisms of ‘modern’ national polling skew significantly toward the opinions of older less tech-savvy folks who answer their phones no matter what out of state number appears and after-all have the time and inclination to take a subsequent survey. Can we guess what sort of political views those sorts of folks tend toward? That is, slipping a bit outside (perhaps one sigma) the statisticians comfort zone, oh let’say if a national poll says that trump is leading by a percentage point outside of the margin of error (usually 1/sqrt(1000)ish or 3.2%ish), then we may presume that Harris is actually leading.
Here’s where the quietness kicks in psychologically big-time: don’t hint to anyone about this who isn’t utterly committed to voting sanely. Get out the #$%#! vote includes the unfortunate fear factor of visualizing a dystopian trump world. For one thing the republicans will commit election fraud anyway they can, and a big victory will make it a lot harder for them. (plus the @#$ electoral college) so ‘mums’ the word about how @#$ed-up and right-ward skewed national polling is [wink] [fades back down behind laptop screen]

Apparently not… 
With some folks, he’s convinced them that someone else is responsible for the extreme partisanship, division, and problems created during his administration. Also, they believe the US is a hellscape now, and he’s the only one who can bring us all together / fix the imaginary problems. 
I wouldn’t waste time trying to convince them otherwise, and when he loses let’s hope they’ll all just sigh wistfully about all the great stuff he could’ve done and get over it.

clearly, the democrat party is to blame for all this partisanship! If only people would accept their proper place in the pecking order and stop whinging about oppression, we’d all be happier! /s

An interview by Tucker Carlson of an election expert indicates that 20% of the Mail-In Ballots in Pennsylvania are fraudulent. Here we go again! Where is the U.S. Attorney General and FBI to INVESTIGATE? Where is the Pennsylvania Republican Party? We will WIN Pennsylvania by a lot, unless the Dems are allowed to CHEAT. THE RNC MUST ACTIVATE, NOW!!!
