Fantastic. If the cons want to claim the price was too high (as they did with Griner) they can't blame Harris for the decision as she goes forward.

That's chess.

 

Great timing Nancy Mace.....Please turn on the news...

 

I guess being a bigot and a neo fascist doesn't help either.....not to mention a complete douchebag.

Bill Ackman’s decision to cancel the long-awaited launch of his US fund is the latest example of the billionaire’s mouth getting ahead of his wallet.

He pulled the IPO of Pershing Square US, a fund that would let retail investors mirror his stock-picking strategy, after demand dried up. What started as a $10 billion whisper number, then became a $25 billion whisper number, fell last week to $4 billion, then to $2 billion, and then yesterday to zero.

Ackman said he would “reevaluate PSUS’s structure to make the IPO investment decision a straightforward one” and “report back once we are ready to launch a revised transaction.”

 

I got a good laugh out of this. Ackman is complete tool -- absolutely convinced of his own brilliance. But you can't polish a turd.

 

Even back then he sounded like an inarticulate moron.

I think the answer is that they are only happy if they are outraged.

 

Yeah, I was thinking about that clip when he made his comments about Harris.

The casino people "didn't look Indian" to him because they weren't wearing face paint and feathers. Or were they supposed to be wearing saris with a dot on their forehead, pushing a mango chutney flavored slushie?

 

He's got it together.

Here is Gov. Andy Beshear on how to win back Trump voters to the Democratic Party. Out of all of the potential VP messaging… this is by FAR the best I’ve seen. 👏

The Walz “weirdo” thing is funny and rallies the base, but it’s not going to hit well with most swing voters. pic.twitter.com/AkoMqTE0cy

Yeah if Harris first and foremost wants to maximize her chances in PA, then it’s Shapiro. If she wants a “rally the base” election, then it’s probably Walz. But if she wants to reach the undecideds, the independents and maybe even a few persuadable Republicans, Beshear is the guy.

 

The one and only Sarah Cooper is back!🤣

As Henry Farrell reminds us, when a British politician suddenly bagged out on a promised appearance on the show “Have I got news for you,” they replaced him with a tub of lard. Idea for the Harris campaign and ABC?

NEWS: X loses top engineer and techops lead.

CNN reported that a senior adviser to Joe Biden said the president is a “big fan” of Shapiro and thinks Walz is “a blast“.
I am ok with any of the top 5 names being circulated but I think you are underestimating Walz, He is checking so many boxes from his rural background to his military service. He seems to be terrific on the stump and as good on his feet. He is my dark horse.

 

That was the appeal to his deplorable’s.

 

I’m sure trekkies didn’t start this and also, Trumpanzees love to play the victim card:
