Drove 22 from Murrysville to Lewistown this weekend, then 322 and a variety of back roads over to Williamsport. Trump to Biden sign ratio approximately 3,825 to 7.

Also if I was running for something myself I doubt I would put something in my yard the size of some of these Trump signs. Those people need to get their heads checked.

My favorite is the Trump 2020 No More Bullshit sign. What he’s gonna start taking it seriously now or...??????

Bummer, she missed the movement by about 18 months. We don't care about that anymore.

Yep, can only focus on one social injustice at a time. You're screwed if you are an illegal immigrant or a female right now. Missed that boat.

Really? Because there's been plenty of complaints regarding the forced hysterectomies of detained women, which came out yesterday.

This is odd. Why would Biden be down among Latino's?

In FL it's because of the heavy Cuban population and their fear of socialism.

Trump ad asks people to support the troops. But it uses a picture of Russian jets.
Lol even though it was a stock photo. So fitting.

100% a MiG-29 silhouette.

I read that the image is a composite; the sky is Russian, the mountains are Greek, and the ground the troops are standing on is France. Because just taking a picture of some troops is too much to ask, I guess.

Clinton led the Hispanic vote by 37 points in 2016. Biden is currently only ahead by 28. He’s even still ahead in Florida, though by a significantly smaller margin than Clinton.

This is odd. Why would Biden be down among Latino's?

In FL it's because of the heavy Cuban population and their fear of socialism.

This is a big part of it. Generally, Cubans also aren’t big fans of other Hispanic immigrant groups, especially Dominicans. They consider themselves special snowflakes that escaped communism while others are undeserving, come here illegally, etc.

There's an effort going on Spanish language radio/facebook/twitter to make Biden out to be a socialist.

Biden being a socialist is hilarious.

Bernie and the Squad will really be calling the shots if he's elected.

I had a Cuban immigrant that worked for me and she indicated that they are heavily conservative after having lived under a dictatorship. Her and her family's story was kind of crazy and scary what they had to go through to come here (legally, 50 years ago)

Bold. They’ll lose 1-2 subscribers over this, I’m sure.

The attorney general is known to be a frequent attendee of the fundraisers known as Lincoln Day Dinners, held by county GOP groups across the state.

Bormann said the attorney general drinks occasionally, but has made it a practice not to drink at the Lincoln Day events.

"I didn't see him with anything but a Coke," said state Sen. Brock Greenfield, who also attended the dinner.

This is similar to the story I posted in the NPT

CENTRE COUNTY, Pa. — Charges have been filed in relation to a hit and run in Penn Township that happened in April and left one person dead.

Christopher Hort, 53, is facing a felony charge of accidents involving death or personal injury.

On April 17, John David King, 23, was killed in a hit and run incident along State Route 45 in Penn Township.

King, who is Amish, was on a non-motorized scooter when the accident happened at 8:36 p.m., according to police.

King was wearing a reflective safety vest at the time of the incident and surveillance video from Burkholders Store confirmed that he was wearing reflective clothing prior to the crash.

The Centre County Deputy Coroner ruled the cause of death as blunt force trauma to the head.

Less than a week later, police said they located Hort’s vehicle, a Holda Pilot. According to police, the vehicle had damage on its right-front passenger side and fled westbound on Route 45.

Hort told police that he was traveling by himself after fishing in the areas of Elk Creek and Pine Creek and thought he might have hit a deer. Hort said he didn’t want to stop because he was afraid he would get a flat tire, noting that his hood buckled and his windshield was smashed.

Police said that in a search warrant, they found that Hort’s vehicle had deer hair in the passenger headlights but none in the grille or undercarriage, and that it looked like part of the vehicle’s exterior was wiped clean.

Police also said that paint consistent with the paint from King’s scooter was found underneath the vehicle and that injuries to the victim are consistent with the damage observed on Hort’s vehicle.

A contusion found on King that was discovered during the autopsy matched the shape of the hood bracket on Hort’s vehicle. A paint chip that was found in King’s hair during the autopsy is consistent with the paint from Hort’s vehicle, according to the report.

Hort stated that after the incident, he only called his wife. A police examination of his phone shows a series of text messages and calls right after the crash, with at least six calls placed or received in a 45-minute time span after the estimated time of the crash.

In an interview with police, Hort said he saw the first news account of King’s death on the evening of April 18 and that he believes he had no connection to the event because the news account identified the timing of the collision as 9 p.m., where he was just arriving at home in State College at that time.

During a search on Hort’s phone, police discovered geo-locational information that placed Hort’s phone in close proximity to the scene of the incident at 8:29 p.m.

According to the report, a search of Hort’s browser history showed that at 4:48 a.m. on April 18, he searched the internet for the Centre Daily Times, going to the “local news” section and the “crime” section before going to an article about the hit and run.

After viewing that article, Hort went to the Twitter page for Pennsylvania State Police Troop G, PIO and accessed a post about the hit and run, according to police.

The charge of “accidents involving personal injury or death” is a second-degree felony, with a maximum prison sentence up to 10 years and a maximum fine of $25,000.

I was told on here a few months ago when the BLM stuff was brought up and others brought up other issues that we should only focus on BLM.

I was thinking about this on my way into work this morning... a chilly 40 degrees outside. Do you think Trump was trying to crack a joke that fall/winter is coming and it just fell flat?

The smugness in which he says it leads me to believe it isn’t a joke. That he genuinely thinks he knows better. Or that he wants to pretend he knows better to look good for his base

And maybe it is a joke, but the president shouldn’t be joking about this type of ****
