    From the end of the W Bush fiasco through last month voters views on abortion and how the issue motivates their decisions in elections have shifted dramatically.

    In 2007 60% of voters surveyed said abortion was merely one of a great many issues they considered when choosing how to vote.
    By May of this year that had fallen to 45%. While the percentage of voters who said they only vote for candidates who share their views on abortion had doubled, from 16% to 32%, with all of that increase taking place in the last ten years of intensifying legal challenges to abortion.

    Which candidates benefit from the change?

    Well, 23% of voters surveyed in May said they would only vote for a pro-rights candidate. While only 8% said they would only vote for a “pro-life” candidate. The percentage of pro-rights voters more than doubled since 2020. While the percentage of womb-worshipers fell from 13% to 8%. And while the abortion views of those survey respondents who identified themselves as Republican or independent voters haven’t budged in the last four years, the composition of views by respondents identifying themselves as Democrats have been completely transformed by Dobbs, with double digit increases in the percentages of Democrats who say abortion should be legal in all circumstances, that abortion is morally acceptable to them, and that the issue will determine how they vote in November.

    Abortion is a turnout issue. How much of a turnout issue is not something polling can easily measure. But mid terms and other elections held since Dobbs, many of which have been used to test and measure voter response, have indicated that it has shifted the partisan turnout advantage in off-year and mid term elections away from Republicans.

    We should keep abortion front and center in the swing states because of the power it demonstrates in bringing our voters out in greatly increased percentages in places where small shifts in the election results produce massive consequences. But we should also remember that for most disengaged, non-aligned voters this year abortion is not the only issue they will consider. They need to hear how much better President Biden’s performance is on the economy.

    For example, in his one term in office Trump borrowed twice as much money to fund government spending as President Biden has in his first term. And Trump’s spending entirely benefitted wealthy assholes just like him. Better with Biden.

    Five more months of super intelligent remarks.

    To the Faith and Freedumb Coalition gathering:

    “How about George Washington high school? ‘We want the name removed from that high school.’ They don’t know why. You know, they thought he had slaves. Actually I think he probably didn’t.’”

    Let’s go to the George Washington Historical Society. At the time of his father’s death George was willed 11 slaves on the family farm. At the time of George Washington’s death there were 317 slaves at Mt. Vernon. (Sort of) Admirably Washington’s will left Emancipation instructions for the remaining slaves but only after Martha’s death. I mean what’s a few more years…it’s been so long already.

    Because if shouted loudly enough they’ll remember that in 2020 those lucky enough to have WFH-able jobs were still getting full pay and unemployment was paying the rent for the others and Texas was looking at mile long lines at food banks.

    In 2024 they have a job and some are still struggling but they aren’t subsisting on Government Cheese and past the sell by date cereal that they waited 3 hours to get.

    For one brief year, with their first term president circling the bowl and a blue wave looming, Republicans reluctantly embraced GBI.

    And rather than produce the dreadful doom that greed-head klownservatives have been threatening since The Great Depression the disaster was barely averted and the economy began to work again. The looming econimic collapse was averted. The economy restored. Trump was kicked out. And Biden turned the economy around.

    So you’re saying that Jim Bob who ‘needed’ that F-150 Crew Cab to haul his iPhone to work at Moore Furniture didn’t factor in that getting only 17MPG is a big variable in his living expenses?

    But the ads during the UFC pay per view showed how MANLY it was and the stimulus check covered the down payment.

    (you should also look at what % of those car loan deliquencies were sub prime vs. prime and know that dealers are more interested in getting the down and maybe a year before they can repo and sell it again as a low mileage ‘certified pre owned.’ Huh, banks took the lesson of mortgage busts and applied it for increased profit. Shocking.)

    Biden outraised Trump by more than $200B in 2020. That won’t be the case this year:

    “There was the strategy of raising all this money on the front end so we could have this huge edge,” said one Biden bundler, granted anonymity to speak candidly. “The whole point of it was to come out with a sizable cash advantage and, you know, we’re now even and it’s June. … I have no other word for it other than ‘depression’ among Biden supporters.”

    Another major Biden bundler, also granted anonymity, called the development “disappointing, but not surprising.”

    In the 2024 money race, not only was Trump out-raising Biden, but he also had more cash on hand. And Republican megadonors, too, rolled out enormous checks for Trump in recent days, including $50 million from longtime GOP donor Timothy Mellon to a pro-Trump super PAC.

    … the stimulus check covered the down payment.

    About a year or so ago it was determined that the four-member family of Welfare Queen YLB received $11,200 in pandemic-related stimulus checks.

    My wife and I didn’t get a dime.

    We’re also not eligible for instant rebates on new or used EV purchases, nor for tax credits for energy-efficient home upgrades.

    It’s a bit problematic that the Democrats decided to exclude those people most able to afford to buy the shit they need us to buy from the subsidies they know are necessary to compel people to buy them.

    15,
    Setting aside that the DUMBFUCK link has abSWOLEutely nothing to do with the campaign’s financing, total dollars raised tell very little of the story.

    Most of Trump’s raise is PAC. It can’t be spent the same way and it can’t go as far. Every PAC dollar Trump raises is worth $2 individual donor dollars for Biden. And the indy limits reset next month. So currently maxed out indy donors to Biden can begin giving directly to the campaign again until November (and even after). Making the difference almost 4 to 1 in terms of actual campaign communications buys.

    Can Trump use his PAC mega donors to fund any of the local campaign offices he just realized he had to have to produce turnout (compared to Biden’s local offices being fully staffed and volunteer trained almost a full year ago)?
    Nope. That’s prohibited spending.

    Trump’s PAC billionaires can buy smear ads on local Sinclair owned television and AM transistor radio news stations in between compelling stories about the terrible shoplifting menace in your nearby city and a utility vault fire on the other side of the county. In other words they will be preaching to the same old choir. While his recently hired GOTV coordinators in a couple of dozen state offices are still arguing with T Mobile about the “family plan” for the office staff, Biden will be deploying data driven GIS and votyer ID software to millions of volunteers in all fifty states. And Biden’s campaign will be buying advertising placement for less than half what Trump’s greedy, corrupt, fat-cat billionaires have to spend, if they can even aquire the placements, because a lot of the key placements targeting useful demographics on mobil devices and platforms are already locked down.

    Finally, Biden doesn’t have to pay lawyers a $20 million per month burn rate to stay outside of jail so he can campaign. Much of Biden’s media exposure if free of charge. He gets to send dozens of taxpayer paid spokespeople onto television every single day and the taxpayers foot the bill.

    It’s not just how much you raise. It’s where you get it from and how you spend it that counts. Trump failed to understand this lesson in 2020 and wound up firing his campaign staff when the money ran out early. All indications are he’s doing it over again. And who would stop him? Not Lara Trump. She’s even dumber and more incompetent than he is.

    You knew it couldn’t be true. Not really. How do you explain job growth when so many people are struggling, juggling multiple jobs to make ends meet, and still going deeper and deeper into debt?

    Newest Early Jobs Revision Shows No Net Job Growth During 2023

    You explain it by admitting that there wasn’t really job growth.

    The article. https://lao.ca.gov/LAOEconTax/Article/Detail/783 is from the Legislative Analyst’s Office of the State of California, a non-partisan entity. So not a right-wing rag or anything else you can dismiss out of hand.

    Benchmark revisions caused California’s 2023 Q4 job growth to plummet from 117,000 reported to an actual loss of 32,000 jobs.

    Early Revisions Suggests State Lost Jobs During Fourth Quarter of Last Year. Based on the most recent release of the early benchmarks, payroll jobs declined by 32,000 from September 2023 through December 2023. On the contrary, the preliminary monthly reports showed a solid increase in job growth (+117,000 jobs) at the time. With the fourth quarter revision, calendar year 2023 saw essentially no net job growth (+9,000 jobs overall).

    Data like this comes out roughly 5 months following the end of each quarter, so expect the 2024 Q1 data analysis to be released in mid-September.

    Just as the Fall campaign is heating up. It will not be pretty for Democrats. But you already know that. You just have to hide it until after the election.

    You extoll the advantages of incumbency but not the downside of voter judgement based on the performance of the incumbent. It’s why Trump lost, barely, in 2020. It’s why Biden will be blown out in November.

    Because money is made of debt.

    Take our own degenerate gambler troll. He ceasely brags about his boring and tedious days playing options as a twitching day-trader in his damp trailer on Whidbey Island. Options trades like he pretends to master depend on debt and precise timing. Something he’s been forced to reckon with more than a little lately when he’s been forced to liquidate real property in order to cover the debts he suffered due to his alcohol-fueled emotional outbursts late at night.

    Options trades like he pretends to master depend on debt and precise timing.

    Not really. Precision has pretty much nothing to do with it, in my case. I don’t look at ex-dividend or earnings announcement dates. I look at a trading range, place a trade outside the range, and in most cases the premium is 100% retained because the contract expires worthless.

    For the times I’ve had shares put to me and there wasn’t enough in cash reserves to cover it – most recently March 2020 – I have relied on debt, in the form of a margin loan. But it’s not traditional debt because it’s secured by my own equity, and the way I look at it, the debt is covered by short-term future earned income.

    Debt that can be instantly (OK, 72 hours) extinguished by a margin call isn’t really debt.

    The Boston Globe Version of this story is soft paywalled but this is an evolving and explosive embarrassment for “Back the Blue” politicians.

    Globe Headline:
    Death of Sandra Birchmore was a homicide, prominent pathologist says
    Finding contradicts conclusion of state medical examiner who ruled Birchmore died of suicide

    Canton Citizen

    The chorus of voices seeking “Justice for Sandra Birchmore” may soon grow louder in the wake of an explosive Boston Globe report containing new details about her relationship with several former Stoughton police officers who she grew up idolizing.

    Birchmore, who was raised in Stoughton before moving to Canton, was found dead in her Windsor Woods apartment in early February 2021 after police responded to a well-being check initiated by her employer after she failed to show up for work on consecutive days.

    The state medical examiner ruled that Birchmore, who was 23 years old and three months pregnant at the time, had died by suicide, and a subsequent State Police investigation found no evidence of foul play.
    …Nineteen months after her death, however, an internal affairs report released by the Stoughton Police Department ignited a flood of interest in the Birchmore case as the public learned of the disturbing allegations made against three SPD officers — brothers Matthew and William Farwell, and Robert Devine, who have all since resigned. The report concluded that all three men, who Birchmore had met as a middle schooler through the department’s now defunct Youth Explorers Program, had inappropriate sexual relations with her and that Matthew Farwell, who was 12 years her senior and married, had an ongoing sexual affair with Birchmore that began when she was 15 and lasted until shortly before her death.

    Later a local FOX News affiliate said that based upon photos they estimated 30,000. But the photos they used were a mixed collection of photos including some of a Bon Jovi concert.

    100,
    Economics only matter to conservatives as a pretext to justify the pointless cruelty necessary to impose fear and to empower authority.

    Economics offer context for resentment, sense of loss, and jealousy that can be used to leverage the consent for cruelty, state and public aggression, and violence. The cruelty, aggression and violence are required to instill fear. And fear opens the door for authoritarian state control.

    Economics don’t really matter any more or any less to conservatives than culture wars do. They served the same purposes but in slightly different ways. Conservatives need to get involved in who fucks whom and how they fuck for the same reasons they want to impose economic conditions of false scarcity and austerity. They need fear and suffering to fuel the consent for authoritianism leading to fascism.

    Sixteen Nobel economists warn of soaring inflation next year if Trump is elected.

    “Many” of these same people thought larding $3.5 trillion onto the national debt was a good idea in 2021.

    Many of these economists signed a similar September 2021 letter expressing support for President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better package. Critics at the time argued that the massive spending packages would drive up inflation.

    At the time, Stiglitz observed that some people “invoked fears of inflation as a reason to not undertake” the Build Back Better investments. “This view is short-sighted,“he said in a press release.

    I’d have to do a side-by-side comparison of the signatories of the two letters to know for sure, but my guess is “many” means “most”.

    Sixteen Nobel economists warn of soaring inflation next year if Trump is elected.

    Overall prices rose 21% during Ronald Reagan’s first four years in office.

    We used to drive in from Grenada Hills in a couple of cars with five or six guys to a car. We’d park usually a block or two away from Pershing Square on Olive, aiming to get there a little before most of the bars on The Run would make last call. We’d look for the really drunk ones who were by themselves and we’d follow. Or if that didn’t work out we’d head to the public restrooms at the Subway Terminal Building. We’d wear these white cotton gloves my cousin Eric stole from the band room at school. The idea was to see who could get the most blood on their white gloves.

    Seems the Binden’s are handling their money well, no bankruptcy yet. The word PAID kept showed up. You never see that in trump lists. So weird.

    The Trump Taj Mahal – bankruptcy in 1991.
    The Trump Plaza, – bankruptcy in 1992.
    The Trump Castle – bankruptcy in 1992.
    Plaza Hotel – bankruptcy in 1992.
    Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc. – bankruptcy in 2009.
    Trump Shuttle Inc – failed in 1990
    Trump University – failed in 2011 amid lawsuits and investigations
    Trump Vodka – failed 2011.
    Trump Mortgage, LLC – failed 2007
    Trump Steaks – 2007 failed two months after its launch.

    Not a single PAID in the list.
    Convicted criminal trump the rapist is a bad businessman. What kind of loser would want to elect a constantly failed businessman?

    @157 The Bidens use their real estate as a piggy bank. If that’s a crime, we’re going to need vastly more prisons. If borrowing is a crime, we’ll all be in prison, most of all Donald Trump. Sometimes you’re funny without meaning to be; this is one of those days.

    Trump borrowed almost a half a billion dollars from a wealthy billionaire private lender to cover his obligations after he was found liable for sexually assaulting a journalist in a dressing room and then lying about it afterwards.

    Trump promises that he will cut education spending by 50%.

    While House Republicans have unveiled a 2025 budget that cuts over $1 billion from law enforcement.
