‘He’s realizing that he could lose’: the Trump campaign is panicking
‘He’s realizing that he could lose’: the Trump campaign is panicking
The mood couldn’t be more different among the staffers accompanying the two presidential candidates, Andrew Feinberg reports
Harris’s people are confident. The Trump campaign is panicking
God, I hope they know something we don't. I feel like I'm gonna pass out. Or throw up.
Last line:
“He’s realizing that he could lose the election, go to prison, and maybe die there,” they said.
God, that would almost make the next 36 hours or so worth it.
Almost.
Anyone have any general anesthetic I can borrow?

36 hours?
Uhhhh. Its like 1488 hours until January 6th, 2025, and I'm not even sure if all the issues will be resolved by then this time around. Even if Kamala wins.
In a nightmare Year 2000-like scenario (aka: Hanging Chads deciding an election), it could be the middle of December before the Supreme Court handles a hypothetical case that comes up tomorrow night.
I’m locking myself in my shop after 8pm, and using destructive metal objects to tear apart desiccated tree flesh. Maybe I’ll wander out at 3am and see what’s up. There’s no internet out there, and that may be the only path of sanity Tuesday night.
I’m feeling so much stress over the election. I don’t even drink but I bought 2 beers today, maybe subconsciously I was looking for a way to decompress from the stress of the Election Day.
In case anyone is concerned, it’s not an alcoholism thing. I just generally do not enjoy drinking alcohol.

Hands you a beer
Here ya go, buddy.
You can try to figure out how tenfingers combats link decay in this whitepaper
Or figure out if Dr Pepper is a woman.
Sorry I have no more brain treats atm.
He doesn't have all that long anyway, but I sure would love to see him spending lots of time in and out of court at a minimum. Going to prison would be fantastic. Honestly, I know the likelihood is nearly nil, but the American people really, really need to see a Republican finally pay for their crimes. Stone and Bannon are out of prison and they should both be rotting there.
Running for POTUS with a history of shady business dealings and generally shady behaviour, considering the amount of scrutiny that such role attracts, perhaps was the most reckless and stupid thing Trump ever did.
Oh no... anyway
God I want this sentence to be more than a small hit of copium.
He won’t go to jail. He’s too rich. I’d honestly be happy if he scapegoated Bannon again and he went back to prison. That would be funny as shit.
Why would he go to prison when he can flee to Russia and spend the rest of his misbegotten life there?
This is one of those times were you just gotta roll with the hourminutes. Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
Too poor for recreational drugs. And too medicated. I'm afraid all I have is exhaustion, paranoia, anxiety, and terror for the next 36 hours or so.
I hear you. I was getting way too worked up about it as well. I've reduced my phone time as best I can, got some physical activity in, and tried to focus on some hobbies. It has really been helping but it took a couple days to take effect. I'm sure that you have or will be voting. Just do your part and then try to occupy yourself with other things.
I feel like 36 hours would be quick compared to what we'll actually get.
This aged well....
It's 2016 again, but much, much worse.
Turns out they didn't know something we didn't.
Classic, also happens every time in Turkey. Don't remember an election in the last 20 years (local, general, referendum take your pick) where the opposition was like "oh shit we might lose this one, lets work harder". Starting to feel a bit scripted.
I mean, nerves before any big event are normal for anyone lol.
chef's kiss🤌
Box breathing involves four basic steps, each lasting 4 seconds:
- breathing in
- holding the breath
- breathing out
- holding the breath
It takes some getting used to, so you’ll be distracted at first having to concentrate on your breathing.
I also like to meditate by emptying my mind and thinking about a giant, unlit room with a spotlight on a chair that I’m sitting in. Whenever my mind wanders to anywhere but there, I force myself to bring it back and only think about me sitting in that chair. I’m neither happy, sad, nor mad. I’m just existing in the chair; breathing and existing.
And if all else fails: don’t panic. Grab a towel and stick your thumb out. Maybe you’ll get lucky and catch a ride on a Vogon ship. And most importantly, “On no account allow a Vogon to read poetry at you.”
👍 🛸👟
I like this and similar gifs.
Oh freddled gruntbuggly,
Thy micturations are to me
As plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee.
Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes,
And hooptiously drangle me with crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts
With my blurglecruncheon, see if I don't!
If you struggle to visualise, just focus on your breathing. When you notice you are distracted bring it back to your breathing. Acknowledge where your mind drifted but try not to dwell on it as you focus back.
There are also apps available to help with breathing exercises. I had one that showed a balloon inflating and deflating. I found it easier to focus on that at first.
Counting while you box breath can also make it easier. The count can be whatever you're comfortable with. 5 5 5 5 works well for me.
That is the best picture of trump I've ever seen.
Y'all really need to stop framing the Democratic Party as the Starship Troopers space fascists.
Unless you want to talk about what happens when liberals get scratched, anyways, but honestly at least pull from Band of Brothers or Inglorious Basterds or something, damn.
There's no reason to assume the troopers in the meme are supposed represent the Democratic Party? Could be a magat or maybe his owner Putin petting him in that meme.
Trump's team has been preparing for a loss for at least weeks now. Luckily it's so obvious that, especially with the precedent of the last coup, it's not going to take anyone by surprise. As a Canadian: please get out and vote, give Harris the substantial victory your country needs, and rub it in Trump's face so hard it's breaks through the layers of spray tan.
P.S. OP, I can understand how you feel. Even as a Canadian I'm going to be so glad to get past tomorrow + the time it takes to confirm a victor. Issues like the environment, Ukraine/Russia, and Israel/Gaza affect us all.
A repeat of 2016. Everyone was so sure he was done and got complacent
Was it?
2016 was close.
Democrats got blown out of the water in 2024.
Don't threaten me with a good time!
mikes got him in his hands
I think Trump will win narrowly. Allan Lichtman predicted Kamala but I think some of his arguments for his keys to the white house being/not being turned are shaky.
I think Trump will win because I disagree with Lichtman's judgement on a few keys:
-
The No Social Unrest key is False. We seem to be forgetting Jan 6th.
-
No Scandal key is False. I'd say the incumbent president losing his marbles during a presidential debate and being too senile to move forward is pretty scandalous, also everything surrounding Hunter Biden.
-
Good short/long term economy is a toss-up. I can't really say that having a huge national deficit, high inflation and awful living standards in real terms counts, even if America technically isn't in recession.
-
Foreign/military success is a toss-up. I wouldn't count NATO rallying around Ukraine as that.
-
Even if you disregard Gaza, the US pulling out of Afghanistan and watching as the Taliban retook the whole country within hours counts as a military failure.
- Karen's gonna Karen
- Biden flubbing a debate is not a scandal
- My 401k doubled in the last 3 years
- Trump wins Ukraine loses
- Both are bad on Gaza and pulling out was trumps strategy. Biden just executed it.
Anyone living in reality sees above as their reality.
