This may be a new election but the former president and his allies are already pushing the same old lies from 2020.

This may be a new election but the former president and his allies are already pushing the same old lies from 2020.

Tuesday’s election is shaping up to be one of the closest races anyone has seen in U.S. history. Polls nationally and in the key states show a dead heat between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.

People in what we used to call a reality-based community understand that this is a very tight race in a closely divided country and it could go either way, but the story on the right is … not that.

For a while now, the story on the right has been that Trump is cruising to victory and that he’s way ahead.

According to conservative media, Trump is set to win next week’s election by a landslide. Guests on Fox News are predicting the former president will win every swing state and host Greg Gutfeld already declared the election over, “Donald Trump’s got this.”

He bought a shipload of Peruvian rice at 12 cents per pound (26 ¢/kg), but more Peruvian ships arrived in port, causing the price to drop sharply to three cents per pound (6.6 ¢/kg). He then lost a protracted lawsuit in which he tried to void his rice contract, and his local prominence faded.

      Sounds like trump all right.

      I bet a handful of comedians plus some fake newswriters could make him disappear from the news & election cycle quite effectively.
