Marianne Williamson, the new age Looney Tune who ran for the Democratic nomination in 2020 and who had toyed with a 3rd party run in the spring has admonished the Democrats post debate. She’s a Looney Tune, but this one is good. Why the admonition? Because the Democrats are failing to acknowledge that Haitian voodoo is real. As it pertains to the eating of ducks, pups and kitties. I think Harris may have missed a step when it came to her VP choice.
As of 11AM ET on September 11th, about 12 hours after the Taylor Swift endorsement, 306,000+ had visited vote.gov redirected from Swift’s link share. Yes, it’s a huge jump from Swift’s endorsement to registering to voting to voting for Harris, but 306+k is some number. If only 20% of that number (and there will be more in coming days), register and vote for Harris, that would have been enough for Lumpy to have won Georgia 5 times over, last time out.
yep. key will be (a) if the enthusiasm turns into actual votes plus (b) exactly where those votes are cast - a few thousand in the right place(s) could turn into critical EC votes.
Well duh! It's like being a prize fighter! The loser got knocked out and spent a few nights in hospital where the doctors told him if he fights again he risks permanent damage. So no rematch!
Holy shit! This journalist (who is a Venezuelan immigrant) just caused Stephen Miller to have a full blown meltdown after busting him for using fake crime data! pic.twitter.com/0vlueSzD3v— CALL TO ACTIVISM (@CalltoActivism) September 12, 2024
More on the Taylor Swift effect. * 9,000-10,000 people per hour registering to vote * 400-500% increase on normal * In 2020 after her endorsement, 80% of those who registered, voted.
Nate Silver just said he'll vote for Kamala. don't know who he is - doubt he's a major Repub - but I read that he works for Thiel. that does make him a major something of course.
I have one, simple basic question for local TV news, local newspapers, network news, and shows like Today and GMA. Why won’t you show things like this?Why do you sanewash this maniac and cover for him? pic.twitter.com/1IqIB84PHG— Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkowski) September 12, 2024
Nate Silver is an interesting dude. He set up/invented 538.com. His idea was no bullshit, moneyball type of approach to presidential polls. He developed an algorithm that allowed him to predict 49/50 states in ‘08, Obama/McCain and did equally well in ‘12 with Obama/Romney. He flamed out in ‘16 giving Lumpy a ~25% chance of winning, but he was higher than anyone else. He was bought out by ABC/Disney and eventually fired/quit when he had to tow the corporate line too much. I don’t know his affiliation, he has always been numbers stats guy with a reputation for no bias. I was surprised also to see that he is being bankrolled by Thiel, but if his track record is anything to go by, I doubt he’s following the Thiel political line; more probably the quantum and quadratic equations.
Here’s something we all (well, me anyway! ) can relate to. Liev Schreiber being interviewed in The Guardian. Series of quick fire questions. What has been your biggest disappointment? I thought I’d be smarter by now.
not good if you like coffee ..... https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y37dvlr70o How the world’s smelliest fruit is making coffee more expensive Prices like £5 in London or $7 in New York for a cup of coffee may be unthinkable for some - but could soon be a reality thanks to a "perfect storm" of economic and environmental factors in the world's top coffee-producing regions.
Is this person, the one of “Extraordinary Genius” the Repugnants want as their President. He’ll be ruling his kingdom from a rubber room in Bedlam. Over two posts on his Truth Social platform, he wrote, "Up 6 points in the Rasmussen Poll. I WON THE DEBATE! A nice lead over the Marxist Candidate, Comrade Kamala Harris, who had a very hard time yesterday answering the simplest of questions in Pennsylvania, where she will end Fracking. It was A WORD SALAD, A REAL MESS!" Moments later he pressed his case further by writing, "ABC FAKE NEWS has been completely discredited, and is now under investigation. Did they give Comrade Kamala the questions? It was 3 on 1, but they were mentally challenged people, against one person of extraordinary genius. It wasn’t even close, as is now reflected in the polls. I WON THE DEBATE!" Along the way, he claimed that the two moderators, David Muir and Linsey Davis, along with Vice President Kamala Harris, are "mentally challenged people" while he is a "genius."
The Supreme Court was hit by a flurry of damaging new leaks Sunday as a series of confidential memos written by the chief justice were revealed by The New York Times. The court’s Chief Justice John Roberts was clear to his fellow justices in February: He wanted the court to take up a case weighing Donald Trump’s right to presidential immunity—and he seemed inclined to protect the former president. “I think it likely that we will view the separation of powers analysis differently,” Roberts wrote to his Supreme Court peers, according to a private memo obtained by the Times. He was referencing the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision to allow the case to move forward. Roberts took an unusual level of involvement in this and other cases that ultimately benefited Trump, according to the Times—his handling of the cases surprised even some other justices on the high court, across ideological lines. As president, Trump appointed three of the members of its current conservative supermajority. Such was the case in March that debated whether Colorado, or any state, had the authority to remove an official from a federal ballot. Roberts persuaded the other justices to make their opinion—that states could not unilaterally drop a federal candidate from the ballot—unsigned to authoritatively signal their unanimity, according to the Times. The judges agreed, until the conservatives sought to include an additional proposition that mandated anyone seeking to enforce the Constitution’s ban on insurrectionist candidates get congressional approval. Four justices—Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Amy Coney Barrett—thought that idea went too far, and wrote concurrences in disagreement. Roberts himself wrote the majority opinion. Roberts also took charge of the court’s ruling that declared the government went too far in charging those who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6. He had initially assigned the case to Samuel Alito but abruptly took it over himself days after the Times revealed Alito’s wife Martha-Ann hung an upside-down U.S. flag—an emblem of the “Stop the Steal” movement, and propagated by some Jan. 6 rioters—outside his home, according to the Times. It was unclear whether the two episodes were linked; none of the justices answered the Times’ questions. https://www.thedailybeast.com/john-roberts-secret-trump-memo-revealed-in-huge-scotus-leak (behind paywall)
In February Lumpy decided to tell the world that Taylor Swift could never endorse Biden and that he was so good for her for signing the Music Modernization Bill. Then he AI-ed her image saying she supported him. He’s not as obsessed with her as Elon Musk (who has offered to impregnate her), but he is waaaaaay more obsessed with her than most. And after all that she has endorsed Harris and has driven millions to register to vote for the first time. So what does the “extraordinary genius” (his words) do now? Why, he posts, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT”. Somewhere, deep in Lumpy world this makes sense. But if you’re looking to garner as many votes as possible from all possible corners, who here thinks this new strategy is a good idea?
@usscouse I’ve had this problem before. Unlike pics jpegs, BSoccer does not allow you to upload your own videos. It has to have been already published on YouTube or a similar platform and you link to it. I was at the League Cup Final and had a really good view of VVD’s goal AND I had had my camera rolling at the time. Gave up trying to upload it here. Even the mods couldn’t help.
I see there was another "assassination" attempt. also committed by someone who trained with the Imperial Stormtroopers Shooting and Marksmanship Academy.
Guess what? I’m able to tell the difference between an embedded YouTube video in front of me and a localized address pointing towards a user’s hard drive. Glad to see the edit button was working.
Better(!) again was Musk’s response. That why have there been no attempts on Harris, wouldn’t that be a good idea?
but he explained that he was only joking, and some of his toadies laughed at it, so that's OK. no need for the Secret Service to pay him (a defence contractor) a visit.
