(54 posts)Western and Central regions are huge Red areas. Pittsburgh still has blue, but Allegheny County is going more Red now.
Trump is flying into Latrobe Airport tonight. And its already packed 5 hours from his arrival 🙈

definitely losing ground on the western end of the state. Post Trump I see PA remaining a swing state.
If we were running anyone other than Biden, I'd be worried about how PA would vote in Nov. As is, I trust Biden will carry my state.

(70,503 posts)So BLM members are "up in the mountains" and they are going to come into town and burn the courthouse
down and those people were going to protect the courthouse and stop em? I guess that is wehat they
were saying.

(16,168 posts)lunch is over. Don't these people have jobs to go back to or are they on the government teat? Someone's gonna get a big surprise when they find out SSDI goes away in a year.
My family comes from the north eastern coal cracker country of Pennsylvania. I'm so glad I escaped the ignorance and racism years ago, No lie, they're dumber than a coal car full of anthracite.

(20,682 posts)For all we know, this could be a russian bot and it could happen in all the swing states. Because there aren't any people organizing against courthouses and threatening to burn them down. BTW: The courthouse was brick and stone; I can't see how threatening that building with fire would be taken seriously.

(10,200 posts)And by the way, the police reaction, or non-action, as the case may be, is the same as when reproductive health clinics are besieged by gestational slavery advocates. I've heard gestational slavery advocacy shows on Catholic radio tell forced-birth protesters calling in that most police are on "their" side, so they don't need to worry much about being arrested for breaking distance and contact regulations. The Pinkhouse Defenders in Jackson MS regularly stream their vicious gestational slavers, breaking local laws on the daily, and when the police actually come when called on these violations (much of the time they just ignore the calls), they do the SAME as the police in this video - refuse to take action to protect threatened citizens, despite laws being broken; and attempt to victim-blame.

(3,823 posts)Its Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and their suburbs that will win it for Biden. He also has a shit in the former steel and manufacturing towns.

(9,600 posts)They are all up in arms crazy but no one knows what they are really there for. They are guarding the court house from some supposedly enemy that no one actually sees.
Even the police are afraid of the mob.
They all are operating on emotions without a single rational thought. Trump plays them like a fiddle.
