    While waiting for the train at U-District Station, the station PA system mentioned, besides the upcoming LINK opening in Lynwood, that August 30th, new fare policy will be going into effect. If you are riding Lynwood-Downtown Seattle, it’s a fare cut compared to the fares of Community Transit’s commuter routes. Only hopping one station, it’s a big increase to the new flat fare. I expect Metro will have to increase their fare from $2.75 to $3. The base fare on the current LINK Distance based system is $2.25. maximum is $3.25-$3.50.

    “A jury could reasonably find that Defendants unlawfully conspired and drove in a dangerous manner such that they threatened or assaulted Plaintiffs,” Pitman wrote. “If a jury accepts these allegations, Defendants’ First Amendment defense must fail because assaulting, intimidating, or imminently threatening others with force is not protected expression. And to the extent that Defendants’ conduct contained any pure speech, such speech would also be excluded from First Amendment protection because it was incidental to tortious behavior or constituted a true threat.”

    From Judge Pitman’s order denying defense motion to dismiss. Texas Trump Train thugs now face civil liability under the Ku Klux Klan Act. Trial begins next month.

    The benefits of the flat fare will go to the riders, though. Currently, forget to tap off, the ORCA Card deducts the maximum fare. Although Sound Transit doesn’t have plans to adopt it, the flat fare also makes it easier to adopt Fare Capping, already in use in Portland, Skagit and Whatcom Counties, and Spokane.

    As for easiest fare change bus drivers had to adapt to, probably was March 20, 1969 for Seattle Transit. The operators, relieved of the target that the Coin Changer made them, cheered the Exact Fare Policy. In the late Sixties, there were frequent robberies and one driver was killed. Adjusted for inflation, he had about $200 on him.

    Kamala Harris wants to stop Wall Street’s homebuying spree
    https://qz.com/harris-campaign-housing-rental-costs-real-estate-1851624062
    Institutional investors could own 40% of single-family rental homes by 2030
    “Within her first 100 days in office, Harris said she would call on Congress to pass the “Stop Predatory Investing Act,” a bill introduced in July 2023 by Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown that removes tax benefits for large investors that acquire swaths of single-family rental homes.”
    >> Good. She’s trying to use the power of government to help people instead of corporations. Do I think think it will pass? Not immediately, Powerful rich people will fight this tooth and nail, but Democrats are working it, republicans are not.
    >> In contract, Republicans want to bust unions and have women be pregnant in the kitchen raising children and delete all the brown and black and LGBTQ people.
    >> Vote Blue.

    The reason Trump will not pivot to issues and policy attacks is because to do so effectively would require that he be able to demonstrate some semblance of familiarity with issues and policy.

    It seems to me that throughout his life and career Trump has assumed his own mastery of any given domain the moment he achieves some success. Having won a presidential election eight years ago he considers himself a master of election politics. Having served for four years as President he considers himself a master of Executive branch policy and issues.

    Once he settles upon his own mastery of a subject he ceases to think much about it. In a way I suppose he becomes very bored with it. He stops reading briefings. He stops listening. He stops looking forward to or anticipating any new challenges in that domain. He tunes it out and he changes the channel.

    You could see this very clearly the other day at his “economic address” at his $500,000/year country club. He openly mocked the topic of his own address and literally called it “boring”. His campaign may be pleading with him to connect with swing voters by voicing some of their specific concerns about prices, housing, and border security. But he hates that because he thinks those topics are stupid and those concerns bore him.

    And his own “mastery” is the only expertise that he will answer to.

    The geriatric convinced criminal gutted the FDA because he got butthurt about Covid restrictions in meat packing plants. This resulted in fewer inspections which caused bird flu to run rampant decimating the egg laying population. You want to know why egg prices skyrocketed? I mean, besides corporate greedflation?

    I tried to warn him.

    Fortunately he refused to pay any attention at all.

    Still, it is well worth remembering that this is just about where the polls were in 2016 around this time. Very different polls in a very different election surveying a very different electorate and voter landscape. But it’s only August and we should expect polls to tighten as we move through the next two months.

    Turnout is the key. Everybody must do their part.

    Sue us blind for filling valid opioid prescriptions written by properly licensed physicians? Cap our selling prices by forcing new Medicare policy on us?

    You can’t force us to stay in business and lose money in the process. We fucking quit. And we’ll start in the Rust Belt:

    Rite Aid has now shut all the stores it once had in Michigan and Ohio – meaning tens of thousands of customers need to find new pharmacies.

    The drugstore’s latest filings at bankruptcy court show it has now completely cut all ties with the two Midwestern states.

    Rite Aid had more than 2,000 stores before it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October 2023 as it battled mounting debts.

    BREAKING: Kamala Harris proposes a Soviet-style, communist price control scheme similar to Venezuela and Cuba

    11:42 AM · Aug 16, 2024

    She’s uncomfortable standing before a crowd. Since her San Francisco days she’s always worked best on her knees with only one man in the room.

  29. 29

    Still, it is well worth remembering that this is just about where the polls were in 2016 around this time. Very different polls in a very different election surveying a very different electorate and voter landscape.

    I’d suggest there is no one left willing to ‘Give that guy a shot.’ Now that people have a ‘anyone but’. No one can pretend not to know in 2024. All that’s left is “I also hate the gays and the spics and the negroes and taxes.”

  30. 30

    natural, low-level inflation

    All inflation is a product of economic policy at some level.
    Economies are not “natural events” or forces of nature.
    Societies make economies. Societies decide how economies will operate. This is so fundamental as to be unworthy of debate.
    The rules are what we say they are.

    Laissez faire policy that supports the formation of monopolies, collusion and price fixing among monopolies and trusts, and suppressses competition gives rise to one kind of inflation.
    Is that what you mean by “natural”?

    It’s okay if you don’t answer. We already know.

  31. 31

    Kamala Harris proposes a Soviet-style, communist price control scheme

    That would be stupid. For any number of reasons.

    So it’s a good thing that’s not what she said.

    Saying something that might broadly be misinterpreted to possibly include “price control schemes” is a political signal. Like telling your frail, fading white nationalist capilary farm voters that you’ll build a wall. It signals to those voters that you appreciate their concern and you will make it a priority. Actually trying to build that wall would of course be incredibly pointless, wasteful, and counterproductive. And then it would fall over.

    Fixed. The rhetoric will continue to be increasingly unhinged as the fortunes of the Trump worsen through November.

    They’ll be calling her Stalinist by October. No ones buying it. (3k ‘likes’)

  34. 34

    Fifty-one percent of voters ages 18-24 are expected to vote this November, based on 2022 turnout. It’s a guess. But in polling at least, it was a significant drag on Biden who simply could not get through to these voters at all.

    OTOH Harris carries this age demo by between 11 and 30 points depending on which poll you choose.

    I must now admit that I was very wrong to hold out for Biden. I don’t think he was going to win over these voters ever. And if they do turnout in the numbers projected (big if) it would have been devastating.

  35. 35

    a Soviet-style, communist price control scheme

    Yeah a U.S. preznit tried that once upon a time..

    Its name was Nixon. No it didn’t go over very well.

  36. 36

    Here’s an interesting tidbit..

    U.S. retail sales vs. expectations keeps surprising as in EXCEEDS expectations. Why is that?

    Out of 166 trillion in U.S. Wealth, 114 trillion is owned by those 55 years of age and older. 70 percent!

    Powell can hike interest rates as high as he would like and nothing is going to persuade those in the autumn of their lives to defer consumption.. in fact that would only give them more munee to spend..

    aka YOLO – you only live once. Now here’s an interesting take from pundit Luke Gromen:

    This essentially represents a “catch up” of 40 years when this age cohort deferred cash compensation (that would have elevated CPI inflation) into asset markets (that were not included in inflation metrics), thereby understating inflation for 40 years…and now the bill for this deferral of CPI inflation is coming due, via inflation likely being stubbornly elevated for the next 5-10 years, all else equal, as asset inflation that was never counted as inflation before gets spent into the real economy and counted as real inflation.

    But Luke, “stocks and real estate, etc going up” – that’s not inflation – that’s appreciation.. teh kreesphit sez so..

  37. 37

    @ 31

    Kamala Harris proposes a Soviet-style, communist price control scheme

    That would be stupid. For any number of reasons.

    So it’s a good thing that’s not what she said.

    Maybe try telling that to the Washington Post.

    Opinion When your opponent calls you ‘communist,’ maybe don’t propose price controls?

    And here’s what the same author said yesterday in an interview on CNN:

    …is especially bad in that it just bans excessive prices. Grossly excessive prices, grossly excessive profit margins, and says that the Federal Trade Commission can use any metric it deems appropriate to decide what that would mean. Which basically says, like, it’s not going to be markets, it’s not going to be supply and demand that’s determining how much your grocery store charges you for milk or dor eggs. It’s going to be some bureaucrat in DC, which seems like totally unworkable first of all, for the FTC to be deciding how much Kroger charges for eggs in Michigan.

    But it also would be very bad for markets. We’ve seen this kind of thing tried in lots of other countries before – Venezuela, Argentina, the Soviet Union, et cetera – it leads to shortages, it leads to black markets, plenty of uncertainty.

    [And to schoolmarm Darryl, there’s nothing about the preceding quote that’s excessive or not directly related to my point. This is a good topic. Don’t fuck with it.]

  38. 38

    33,
    Good point.

    After all, actual federal price controls wouldn’t get past injunctive relief and would ultimately produce more inflation by reducing production.

    But it does sound good to voters. And that’s the point and also undoubtedly why the Harris campaign is talking about this in the precise way that they are.

    “Working to pass the first ever federal ban on price gouging on food” does not have to come in the form of a system of federal government mandatory prices set by some board. Any resulting legislation is likely to look like excess windfall profits tax penalties and incentive programs to increase competition and limit producer price fixing.

    If “pure-of-heart” MAGA turds want to die on that hill defending billionaire CEOs let them.

  39. 39

    Maybe try telling that to the Washington Post.

    Why would we bother? We already caught them lying their asses off repeatedly this cycle.

    Right now they are playing catch-and-kill with the Trump campaign’s own vetting dossier on Jimmy Donald Bowman 🛋️.

    They are as likely to be lying their asses off again as anything else.
    Pull the other one.

    But just so you know, since you took a flier on this one, Rampell completely repudiated her own Op-Ed within 24 hours of it being published and said she agreed with Harris.

    Shorter Welfare Queen YLB @ 36:

    Give me and my fucked kids assets we haven’t earned! It’s unfair that people should work for three-plus decades, pay their taxes, and still accumulate wealth through tax-deferred retirement accounts heavily promoted by the federal government and by both major political parties.

    Systems of merit-based reward will always work against Welfare Queen YLB, so in her double-digit IQ mind they must be abolished.

    Oh, and Welfare Queen YLB? Why would you post a quote that includes “…via inflation likely being stubbornly elevated for the next 5-10 years…”? That won’t help Boxcheck Momala, girlfriend. She’s trying to convince everyone that inflation was so 2022, despite substantial evidence to the contrary.

  41. 41

    [And to schoolmarm Darryl, there’s nothing about the preceding quote that’s excessive or not directly related to my point. This is a good topic. Don’t fuck with it.]

    Bullshit.

    It’s excessive because it’s cherry picking. Link the fucking article and there’s no problem. They anyone here can go read what she said. Including this headline:

    ‘I Support It’: WaPo Columnist Who Hammered Harris Over Call For ‘Price Controls’ Does Full 180 After Hearing Speech

    I for one am perfectly happy for your face rake to remain up for all to see. As I’m just as happy to post this helpful link and invite one and all to go read the Mediate story here:
    https://www.mediaite.com/news/i-support-it-wapo-columnist-who-hammered-harris-over-call-for-price-controls-does-full-180-after-hearing-speech/
    In which we see that within hours of publication Rampell was in an exchange with Matt Iglesias on the ShitBird site in which she admits that she supports Harris’s efforts to reign in grocery prices and regrets her column explaining that it was based on a campaign communications document released to reporters ahead of the speech that seems to have gone farther than the candidate ever intended.

    But Bob you should probably think twice about your certainty on this kind of selective pull quote. It’s taken out of context, cherry picked, and done so in order to conceal how you are lying and trolling. That might trigger Darryl. And I know how much you fear him.

    ‘I Support It’: WaPo Columnist Who Hammered Harris Over Call For ‘Price Controls’ Does Full 180 After Hearing Speech

    QoS McHillbilly, did you look into what “It” was? Because it wasn’t Boxcheck Momala’s call for price controls on food and it wasn’t anything close to a “Full 180”. It was merely this:

    Catherine Rampell
    @crampell
    Yes there was still some silliness in her speech, but her comments on prices were more toned down than campaign factsheet sent to reporters (punishing companies that raise prices above their costs etc). A generic call to increase antitrust enforcement is fine and I support it

    After all the tweets, I’m pretty sure Harris did not in fact propose price controls on groceries — just kind of vaguely said that antitrust enforcement is good (it is good).
    1:28 PM · Aug 16, 2024

    Come to think of it, vague and generic are two pretty good descriptors of Boxcheck Momala, the DNC’s best hope to stave off disaster in the Fall.

    Tell me more about cherry-picking, QoS McHillbilly. It depends on the meaning of what “It” is.. How Clintonian.

  51. 51

    Honestly quite glad the troll wasted his time on this one.

    Since it very ably demonstrates how uterly shitty WaPo has become.
    Rampell, the Princeton educated child of very wealthy accountants, likes to prowl economics. And as such she’s fine. She seems to know what she’s writing about. But her journalism is ghastly. And that’s on display here. She rushed to publication without checking. And her editors blew that off as well. So she asserted things in her column that are not true and the RWNJ troll-o-sphere ran with it like it was “GOLD JERRY! GOLD!”

    She read a one page fact sheet released from the campaign, read into it what she wanted to see there, and then proceeded to write a thousand words of bullshit based on that. And it was wrong.
    Later on, when reasonably confronted with the wrongness of it, she admitted that she got way out over her ski tips and regrets it.
    But her column remains up. And idiots like Dumbfuck are still masturbating over it days later.

    In one neat stunt The Village Idiot demonstrates the perfidy of modern attention economy journalism, the corruption of the editorial process at the WaPo under its latest editor in chief, and his own depravity as a performative liar. It’s a tour de force of Dumbfuckery.

    “When we learn important things, to not publish is a political act. The calculation cannot be, we’re just not going to publish because that would screw up American politics. You know, at that point, I will go into business as like a campaign adviser to people and not as a journalist.” – Dean Baquet, Editor in Chief, The New York Times, December 2016 after publishing hundreds of front page headlines about emails stolen from the Clinton campaign by Russian FSB in an effort to sway the election.

    Twenty six days have now passed since The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Politico received a trove of Trump campaign vetting documents concerning Vice Presidential nominee J.D. Vance leaked from Roger Stone’s unsecured personal email.

    They have published none of it.

  57. 57

    56,
    The Village Idiot depends on asserting the fantastic myth that any one of those is a “credible” and even “liberal” media source.

    Yet as former Editor in Chief of the New York Times Dean Baquet points out, their refusal to publish the vetting file documents on the Republican Vice Presidential nominee is an overtly political act in direct support of the Republican Party, the Trump campaign, and Senator Vance. They are not at all “credible”. Nor are they at all “liberal”. And at this point it’s foolish to suggest otherwise.

    Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) on Friday announced that he is opening an investigation into Walz’s work related to China, including coordinating student trips, and sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray requesting a swath of documents and any correspondence with Walz related to China.

    “Americans should be deeply concerned that Governor Walz, Kamala Harris’s vice-presidential running mate, has a longstanding and cozy relationship with China. …The American people deserve to fully understand how deep Governor Walz’s relationship with China goes,” Comer said in a statement.

    Having the best selling Jersey at the moment on MLB shop doesn’t mean what you think it means.

    Start with Otani having #2,3 & 4 as home and away combos and the number absolutely crushes the #1 spot. Caitlyn Clark sold more Jersey’s in 24 hours of draft day.

    “Oh look I want everyone to know I’m an asshole” is very on brand with about 3% of the population of Florida currently Winnebagoing the country to go to Political rallies.

    Imagine spending a chunk of your Social Security check on a Jersey because ‘I hate the fags!’

    That faggy sport soccer guy Messi’s MLS Jersey sold 1.5m units 24 hours after release.

    What we’ve learned here is the master of the stock market is too broke to buy a Jersey and is busy looking for a replica on Dick’s Sports

    Thirty years from now, those 55 and older will own 70% of U.S. wealth. Just a different set of oldsters, that’s all.

    And thirty years after that, those 55 and older will own 70% of U.S. wealth …

    When I was a kid, before Greed is Good became a life goal for a generation, I remember talking with family and friends, and it seemed to us, once a person had enough to live well and retire well, and buy a home, and a vacation home and pay for their kids’s colleges, and afford a vacation every year or so, that was enough and anything over that, should be taxed progressively more. Anything over that was just being greedy.

    @33 Bannon doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Kroger didn’t make an extra $500m a year. It made an extra $1 billion a year, which ballooned to $1.6 billion a year, so he’s off by a factor of 3X.

    To be fair, not all of that was from price gouging; during the pandemic, people bought a lot more food for home preparation because the restaurants were closed. And some of the price increases reflected higher costs through out supply chain.

    But some of it was.

  101. 101

    One of the biggest food inflation items was eggs. Cal-Maine is the country’s biggest egg producer and distributor. Their profits went from $54 million in 2019 to $758 million in 2023.

    Sure, avian flu constrained supply. But raising prices to $10 for a dozen eggs didn’t bring those birds back to life or increase egg production. Market forces don’t bring down prices in such a situation, all they do is allocate all the eggs to the rich. Why is that form of rationing better than other forms of rationing?

  102. 102

    @99 There was a point where it was fine to have the wealthy pay more, because they didn’t NEED it. They had enough to live well on.

    @38 If Harris’s “ban” on food price gouging is enforcing existing laws against price-fixing and opposing grocery monopolies, that’s more than you’ll get from Trump and the GOP.

    I’m surprised he didn’t hit up Kroger and Albertson for the $1 billion instead of oil companies. “Give me $1 billion and I’ll let your monopoly go through.”

    Can’t prosecute him for bribery, even given a quid pro quo, because now presidents are immune.

    – Deglobalization
    – Demographics (e.g., aging populations, falling birth rates, shrinking workforces)
    – Slower productivity growth
    – Higher debt (government, corporate, and individual)

    These factors are structural, long term, global in reach, and not amendable to short-term policy tweaking.

    Vice President Harris and Governor Walz have obviously deflated the entire MAGA universe and robbed them of their enthusiasm for their candidate. Vibes matter more than I care to admit sometimes. That’s just how most people process decisions.

    And right now the vibes surrounding the 78-year-old convicted felon are pure shit – anger, grievance, boredom, resentment, and fear. Trump now finds himself in the terrible position of being a challenger cast as an incumbent facing an incumbent cast as the change.

    By focusing on her race and gender he is missing his best, early opportunity to tie Joe Biden around her neck. And by the time he and his clown car of idiot cult followers figure that out it will be too late. That will leave him no other option but to double down on the neg vibes, especially “fear”.

    The media know us better than we know ourselves.

    @ 96

    What price gouging? Kroger profits by year:

    No link, I see. Since Kroger owns pharmacies and fuel stations, profits are affected by those businesses, and not just grocery sales. Looking just at the most recent quarterly numbers:

    Kroger reported a decline in first-quarter earnings on Thursday amid margin pressures in its fuel and pharmacy businesses.

    For its first fiscal quarter, which ended May 25, the retailer said net income slipped 1.6%, to $947 million, relative to a year ago, while sales increased 0.2%, to $45.27 billion. Identical store sales, excluding fuel, rose 0.5%.

    Kroger said it expected pharmacy margin pressures to continue in the second quarter, which will lead to lower net income in Q2 as well. The company attributed the decline in part to lower margins on GLP-1 treatments and some unexpected regulatory restrictions that dove up its costs for some drugs.

    Kroger is packaging ready-to-heat and fully cooked meals in family-size volumes, and its delivery revenue YoY was up 17%. That has little to do with food cost and much to do with labor and fleet cost. It also has to do with the price people are willing to pay for the convenience of picking up a full meal that merely needs 20 minutes in the oven before serving. As a proud SBUX share owner, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, you know that coffee beans are 10% or less of Starbucks’ expenses. Starbucks became profitable because people are willing to pay 6 bucks for a foofy drink instead of $150 for a cuppa joe.

    “Profit” figures mean nothing. Are those figures “operating profit”? Net income? Do you even fucking know?

    Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, you’re full of shit. You wanna claim the grocery store version of “The rent is too damn high.”, go right ahead. But you sound just as dishonest as you really are when you do it. You know why grocery store prices are higher. You just don’t want to admit it.

    You have shown us your brokerage account balance, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit. You have listed your poor investment choices since then. There’s no way you’re a millionaire. You don’t get to count your primary residence equity. And you’ve shown us your home’s value before, as well, so we know it’s worth well below the Seattle median level. Well below.

    Someone with non-primary residential property net worth of $840,000 in 2020 can call themself a “millionaire” today, because of the 20-plus % Bidenflation.

    “Millionaire” means nothing. Except to sad desperados like Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, who are frantically trying to separate themselves from the poor folx like Welfare Queen YLB and her family.

    Everybody clap long and loud for Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, who cobbles his home equity to his laughably inadequate brokerage account value to claim “millionaire” status.

  138. 138

    137,
    I think we can count on the 78-year-old convicted felon to ignore all the messaging input from his campaign advisors and focus on attempting to critique Vice President Harris’s background and experience. Gabbard could possibly be of use to him in that regard offering ways to hone that and focus it on questioning her “authenticity” (which in her case is truly ironic). But in doing so he will naturally veer into pontificating about his favorite theories of “race science” and misogyny. This will help him to feel “dominant”. But it will leave him with a legacy of viral moments that will alienate many swing voters. And those moments will endure through the weeks that follow as those voters begin to vote.

    Trump’s mistake is to focus on “winning” the debate without actually using the debate.

    By contrast I expect Vice President Harris to focus intensely on using the debate as her best individual opportunity to describe herself, her story, and her vision for the future in ways that help persuade swing voters. Beyond that, as a courtroom prosecutor she will remain alert to opportunities to push Trump off balance and get him to become whiney and defensive, which seems to come naturally to him. Each time we see Trump complaining to the moderators or arguing with them will be a win for her. But Trump won’t comprehend that at all.

    @122 I assume someone calling himself an “investor” knows how to look up company profits. There’s no link because the numbers came from Value Line which is a subscription service.

    @123 (continued) “You don’t get to count your primary residence equity.”

    Setting aside my seven-figure stock holdings, why wouldn’t you or I count our primary residences as equity?

    Let’s say Retired Horse Fucker (RHF) has a 5-acre spread on an island worth $750,000 that he owns free and clear, and also $750,000 of stock. According to you RHF isn’t a millionaire even though he owns net assets of $1.5 million.

    Now let’s say RHF is really, really disappointed at not being a millionaire, so he takes out a $250,00 mortgage on Five Acres and uses it to buy an equivalent amount of stock. Now his equity in Five Acres is reduced to $500,000, but he has $1 million of stock, so now he’s a millionaire.

    But rather than ask you to explain why RHF is now $250,000 richer than he was before, I’m not going to play this stupid game to feed the ravings of a dumbfuck.

    Well, not me. I have no use for status symbols or trappings of wealth, and you won’t see me bragging in an online forum about owning an F-250 and horse trailer, or eating out at fancy restaurants.

    Seems like it’s starting to sink in for them Republicans are going to get creamed up and down ballot even in states they consider ‘red’.

    ‘America First’ right?

  162. 162

    160,

    It will still be close in the electoral college. Beyond matching Biden’s 2020 performance what additional new “swing states” would we expect Vice President Harris to flip?

    Flipping states is hard work requiring years of preparation and consensus building. The most recently flipped states are still extremely vulnerable and won’t be secured for many years yet. Our priority must be to get to 270 and then hold the Senate and flip the House. We may have some opportunities in few more House races in otherwise red states. But those are discreet Congressional Districts. And we still have recent gains to protect like WA-03 in safe blue states like Washington.

    There are red states with Abortion measures on the ballot. Donald’s numbers are collapsing in FL. Not hard to imagine Harris coming out of the convention with a bump and a ground game in place.

    The sheer incompetence of a Trump in charge of RNC makes this not, ‘Can they win?’ In marginally red states but ‘How badly can they lose?’

    They’ve already robbed the money that could triage Senate and House Campaigns even if the RNC had competent leadership to know when the (electric) flagship is taking on water and maybe the sharks won’t eat you.

    164,
    Start by counting votes.

    Look at recent election results, not polling. Tell me how you plan to win a statewide election in Florida based on that math.

    Are you persuading 200,000 Trump voters statewide to vote for the Democrat? Where’s your polling to support that.
    Or instead, are you creating 200,000 new Democratic voters in Florida?
    Explain how you are doing that given the basic math that you must directly contact 10,000 non voters to produce one new.

    MAGA incompetence does create opportunity. Don’t squander it chasing Florida of Texas in a year that tilts against Democrats in the chamber where the next Supreme Court Justice will be confirmed.

    It’s about a lot of those 200,000 being dead now or felons or women.

    Abortion is on the ballot in Florida. Should the campaign go all out in Florida? No. But looking at deep blue Kansas and that abortion vote is funding GOTV efforts there likely to go a long way?

    Demoralized rank and file not cult Republicans plus increasing disapproval of the GOP Governor, home owners insurance crisis make Florida a long but makable field goal.

  169. 169

    That was the NBC News headline. The AP headline provided a little more background to this POS:

    DC councilmember known for pushing antisemitic conspiracy theories is arrested on bribery charge

    Kudos to The AP for mentioning this POS’ political party – he’s a Democrat, but you knew that based on the ignorant antisemitism – in paragraph 2. NBC News, OTOH, didn’t mention party at all. Probably because “This is a developing story.“, amirite?

    Nice to see you favor abortion if the mother thinks the child would be born into a life of poverty and struggle.

    Also. Should a woman with a husband be forced to give birth when their economic situation is already a life of poverty and struggle?

Sure there were some yards covered with signs and trucks festooned with bumper stickers but it’s much rarer than it’s been in the past. What that means, I can’t say definitively but something has changed and it’s fair to guess it has something to do with enthusiasm.”

    https://www.salon.com/2024/08/19/donald-is-crashing-out-ahead-of-schedule/

    They are opposed to public parks.
    More specifically they prefer private community parks, pools, and community recreation facilities like those found in gated and restricted communities. Seen in that light the underlying racial motivation is obvious. And that yearning for racial segregation is how it relates to “family”.

    https://www.axios.com/2024/08/20/dnc-teamsters-sean-obrien-democrats
    Teamsters President Sean O’Brien made a historic move last month when he showed up to the Republican National Convention and all but endorsed Donald Trump.
    Then, he walked back his support and accused Trump of “economic terrorism” after the former president praised right-wing billionaire Elon Musk over his union-busting tactics.
    Now, O’Brien “has been ignored by the Democratic National Convention after his request to speak this week in Chicago.”

    >> Honestly, Why would O’Brien think that it would be fine for him to give a speech at the DNC after he gave a speech at the RNC where he “let an air of legitimacy to a candidate and a political party, neither of which can be said to have done, or can be expected to do, anything to improve the lives of the union workers”?
    >> The Dems invited individual Teamsters, they only snubbed O’Brien. Why should they help him repair his image? He only came crawling back after the convicted felon he spoke for praised Musk for firing workers wanting to unionize. O’Brien glommed on to Trump for his own gain. Biden has been pro-union all the way and Trump never has. Bed made. Sleep in it.

    You might want to take a look at the park, by clicking the link in the piece.

    This takes you to a page that shows a bunch of photos, and in the background is a prison-like metal structure that kids can climb on. Think project housing – this is DC, after all – and you’ve got an idea of how it looks at dusk.

    Click on another link:

    https://nomabid.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/NPF-RetroReport-Reference.pdf

    and you go to a PDF that has a couple of pages on how the park was developed. The drawing on page 26 shows a thin rectangular structure (the article calls it narrow, which also fits). But how narrow? The photo on the top left of page 27 shows it to be no more than four feet wide. So in a dog park with 8,200 sq feet, about 4 times 40 feet long equals 160 square feet is dedicated to people small enough to get into the prison-like metal structure. That’s 2% of the park’s square area.

    Think I’m joking about the narrowness? Here’s the play structure page:

    https://goric.com/all-products/wallholla-7-module-standard/

    Dimensions: SIZE: 26′ – 6 7/8″ x 4′ – 1 1/4″ x 16′ – 7/8″h (8.1m x 1.25m x 4.9m h)

    Only 2% of this small city park is allocated to children, and Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit takes issue with a guy who says that’s not enough for children.

    Because of this the city just put in another park across the street. So kids will have someplace to play that is more than four feet wide.

    IOW the guy’s point was taken, and the City did something about it.

    After only four weeks, going into the convention, the race is now a tie. And it should be treated as such.

    The shift has been 100% in Vice President Harris’s favor. And it has been an enormous shift.

    But although the race may be a polling tie right now (and likely concealing support and movement not appearing in poll results) if given the choice every politician and campaign strategist would choose to be Kamala Harris at this moment.

    The race may not be hers to lose, but it is hers to win. And that fact is absolutely crushing the Village Idiot with humiliation and regret.

    Good god, the amount of research you put into licking the upper classes’ boots is fucking weird.

    You must not recall the number of times The Even Bigger Fucking Moron has spewed to me, “Show your work or you’re lying.”

    The fun thing about the “Pelosi Net Worth” is the overlooked fact that her husband is a real estate and venture capital and hedge fund manager who was wealthy enough to own a football team in the very same league as Donald Trump’s New Jersey Generals before his wife ran for anything at all.

    If you are making a point that candidates for office are too often the 1% I’m here for it but to point to her current net worth as proof of corruption while in office then….you’re a moron.

    Here’s an interview that explains that WSJ headline:

    “…the DNC made it impossible for us…

    …they have banned us, shadow-banned us. kept us off stages. manipulated polls. used lawfare against us. sued us in every possible state. They’ve even planted insiders into our campaign to disrupt it, and to create actual legal issues for us.

    I mean the extent by which the sabotage they’ve unleashed upon us is mindblowing.”

    By manipulating the primary system to favor the rapidly failing Bi-Done any chance that other candidates could be heard was muzzled by the DNC. The result is that the DNC now has a candidate untested by debate in the past (nearly) five years, and her last debates were diastrous to her prior candidacy.

    By using lawfare and underhanded actions against RFK Jr., even denying him Secret Service protection until hours after Trump demanded it, you have created a situation that may end up blowing up in your face. The last thing the DNC needs is Joe Rogan teaming with RFK Jr. to take down Boxcheck Momala’s campaign.

    Congratulations, Democrats.

    @251

    Oh no’s. The Qanon conspiracist RFK got to bankroll the campaign is upset. And she’s taken to a podcast that gets fewer listeners than an “Under the Desk News” TikTok to complain about it. The guy who pulled out of the Democratic Party to run as an independent six months before this very serious person was on the ticket is wondering why the Democratic party held them to the first party rule…..YOU HAVE TO BE A DECLARED CANDIDATE FOR THE PARTY.

    There are no RFK Bros riding in to save you from President Harris.

  254. 254

    Well, his POS son is a traitorous felon. Hard to blame the DNC for not wanting that relationship on during prime time.

    That’s so horrible and unfair.

    Which bad bad Democrat made Kennedy eat raw dog meat fifteen years ago resulting in his brain being consumed by parasitic worms?

    How’d the Biden campaign pull that off?

    A leading election forecaster shifted its rating of the presidential race for North Carolina to “toss-up,” marking another gain for Vice President Harris’s campaign.

    Sabato’s Crystal Ball said Tuesday that it was moving North Carolina from the “leans Republican” column to a toss-up, as support for Harris builds not only in the Tar Heel State but across the country.

    @ 257

    The Village Idiot is finally recognizing that Trump’s poll ceiling is 47%. Without record low turnout or a viable spoiler Trump loses his paths to 270.

    Trump won the presidency in 2016 with nearly a full point less than 47%.

    Biden got a majority and yet won by, what, 45,000 votes spread over three states and a CD in Nebraska?

    It’s not the popular vote percentage. It’s how persuadables in a few states decide to lean when it’s time to pull the lever. Biden got 4.5% more than Trump did but barely squeaked by.

    Right now the spoiler is RFK Jr., because all of his Democrat supporters have come home, so now he’s got more GOP supporters than Dem supporters.

    Without a spoiler like RFK Jr., it’s Boxcheck Momala who’s got the problem, not Trump.

    @242 “wasn’t done to the liking of the SoS”

    It wasn’t the SoS who pulled him off the ballot; a judge did, after

    Kennedy said he currently rents a room in a friend’s home in Katonah, … though has only slept in that room once due to his constant campaign travel.

    The judge wrote in her opinion,

    “Given the size and appearance of the spare bedroom as shown in the photographs admitted into evidence, the Court finds Kennedy’s testimony that he may return to that bedroom to reside with his wife, family members, multiple pets, and all of his personal belongings to be highly improbable, if not preposterous,” the judge wrote.

    You’re preposterous, too.

    Listening to Ben Shapiro, He’s got a running joke, he’s got Democrats taking out President Biden in more ways than South Park “Killed Kenny”(tm). He’s so livid trump can’t run against President Biden and he’s going to whine till he gets his way.

  264. 264

    It was one of the most human moments I’ve ever seen in politics, from the second the president stepped on stage and embraced his daughter.

    But it was more than that. It was America saying goodbye to this ordinary man who has become an extraordinary president. A president who saved our democracy.

    This is one of those cases where the transcript doesn’t give you enough context. You need the video. You need to see Biden’s face and feel the vibrations from the crowd. And you absolutely need to watch his final section, when he transitions from a campaign speech to a valediction.

    This is the story of a nation grateful to a president not just for his accomplishments, but for his sacrifice. For his ability to understand that he was dispensable.

    The degenerate misogynist troll will start to spin a fantasy about fellatio or incest until it learns the preceding comes from a center right website.

    Look it up. But who am I kidding? Anything goes with an always wrong winger when it fears an IRS audit even more than death. At least in death it can be buried in the ashes of its fookin’ munee.

    The Qanon conspiracist RFK got to bankroll the campaign is upset.

    She’s mostly upset to be finding out that RFK, Jr. has been scamming her all a long and has offered to sell their entire campaign, that she personally funded to the tune of $15 million, to Trump in exchange for a job. They even had to refund to her the last $900,000 remaining.

    The campaign got caught red-handed using a billionaire funded super PAC to gather signatures in Arizona. It’s strongly suspected that he did the same thing in every other state. Which not only would prohibit the campaign from moving forward from this point, but it also means the campaign was lying to her all along about how they were using her money.

    So expect an announcement very soon that they are closing down the entire scam.

    This is not 2016.
    In 2024, Dobbs is on the ballot. Fascism is on the ballot. Project 2025 is on the ballot. An elderly convicted criminal who wants to be dictator is on the ballot. A younger, fresher, more energetic, DA, senator, Vice President Harris is on the ballot.

    Traders are speculating the revisions to the U.S. government’s jobs data could show that between 600,000 and 1 million fewer jobs were created from April 2023 to March 2024. A downward revision of 1 million jobs would reduce employment creation to 1.6 million jobs for the year, from 2.6 million, said Marc Chandler, chief market strategist at Bannockburn Global Forex in New York.

    Just in time for the Fall campaign.

  269. 269

    Now imagine what that percentage is for black workers.

    All any Black worker can imagine is a glassy-eyed, coked up and unshaven Don Jr. getting a big promotion while they get their healthcare insurance and overtime cut.

    You mowed down peaceful Black protesters in Charlottesville, and spent two years lying about CRT before recently rediscovering “race science”. You’re not winning Black votes.

    Fed confronts up to a million US jobs vanishing in revision

    …a downward revision to employment of more than 501,000 would be the largest in 15 years and suggest the labor market has been cooling for longer — and perhaps more so — than originally thought.

    Not much joy in slowing inflation if people still can’t afford to buy shit because they’re out of a job.

    275,
    And they’re statistically so mad about it they’re going to forget all about Donald Trump being a 78-year-old, white supremacist convicted felon who raw dogged a porn star, raped a journalist, stole from children’s charities, tried and failed at overthrowing the government, defrauded banks out of millions, bankrupted a half dozen companies, and cheats on his taxes.

    After over a year of the Federal Reserve holding interest rates too high for too long (according to John McSame econo Mark Zandi) causing the unemployment rate to climb (slowly) and higher prices due to messed up supply chains from the pandemic and greedy corps like Wal-Mart and Target holding their prices too high for too long (not good for sales so now they’re lowering them) it’s completely natural that’s there some grumbling out there.

    But does all that mean people want an orange-tinted criminal with a bad combover, who babbles non-stop about its personal grievances (to the point of emptying out its rallies) to impose fascism and chaos on this country?

    C’mon man!

  279. 279

    @281 It’s not bribery if Trump has no intention of paying the bribe. Trump didn’t promise him a job, he only said he’s “open” to it, and that door will slam shut the moment RFK Jr. no longer has anything to trade. If Bobby is dumb enough to fall for this, he’ll learn a valuable lesson about getting paid upfront when negotiating with a swindler.

    Fun time for a recount.

    The Lands Commissioner race got interesting. as of last night there were a thousan-ish ballots left to go and Upthegrove had a <200 vote lead. Pederson briefly took a <20 point lead as those last votes trickled in but then the King Co 300 dropped and now it's Upthegrove with +71. Walla Walla and Whitman are still reporting a combined 65 votes outstanding so Upthegrove will go into the recount shitshow as #2.
