  1. Because the absolute best you can do by conceding a bad point is give it up without a fight. It looks weak, because it is.
  2. Good post In fairness to them- both parties share one big lie on the economy: that the president has a great deal of control. He does not. Through mostly soft power he can have some level of limited impact on growth on an intermediate basis, and can have a much more substantial and direct negative effect on prices and GDP (through tariffs and other punitive measures) and has almost no meaningful direct near-term impact on the labor economy or the cost of living. But obviously both parties pretend they do and maybe their operatives and officials actually believe they are doing more than nibbling at the margins. And of course the media reports it that way because outside of the business press none of them seem to understand even the basics. Anyway- TL;DR: it’s not really their fault. They think that because everyone acts like it’s true, in good times and bad.
  3. He’s buying access from future Republican guests. Democrats just dont work the refs as well as Republicans.
  4. No she doesn't, because she didn’t ever propose them. What she proposed is as far off from price controls as it is from disaster response- giving out water and blankets and shit. Anyone who conflates the two is outing themselves as necessarily an ignoramous or a shameless liar. Don’t shill GOP narratives, even when you they anre technically or narrowly true and ESPECIALLY when they’re fundamentally wrong and completely off base.
  5. If he was a racist before, he had it then, too. They go hand in hand.
  6. I think the donor daughter groping rumor is probably bullshit, but- my wife had an interesting take this afternoon - loss of impulse control is one of the most common symptoms of cognitive decline. that’s where the stereotype of the dirty old man comes from. Ask a young woman who has volunteered for meals or anybody who has worked in a home or with seniors for an extended period. Old people -in particular old men- say a lot of shocking things and often get handsy. So IF a person who was already prone to being gropey and used to getting away with unwelcome verbal and physical advances on attractive young women was going into cognitive decline, it would be probable for those impulses to eventually present themselves in public.
  7. @Horn75 You've inspired me today. First, my wife and I voted at a library next to a junior high. Then we found some 8th graders walking home from school after their sex changes, and asked how many were in the country illegally. All of them were, so we took them to the library and of course they were waved right into the polling place, and we gave them $20 each to vote. Well, except for the one who said he felt Trump was "strong for America" and that he likes Trump's policies on restrictive zoning in suburbs. We reported She/Her to Jose Garza who threw they/them in jail under the Biden/Harris speech code. The rest of they/them took their $20 to your house and your wife was home. She definitely seems like a Harris/Walz voter.
  8. You negged a post about the aftermath of my wife’s miscarriage. Go outside and touch grass, old man.
  9. I kinda want to do that but I had Covid (4th round) in June and just got a Pfizer shot two weeks ago, so I’m going to seek out Novavax around March/April. Do you know when the nasal spray would come to market if it passes this round of studies?
  10. Wow. This really touches a painful place for me and makes me angrier than I thought it would. They should saturate TV markets in cities and social media with this, but especially they should put this into heavy rotation on Fox News, because it’s important no matter who wins. There’s very well known and very prominent Republican here in Austin who was my wife’s OB/GYN from 2000-2008. He performed the D&C on my wife when we lost our first pregnancy and subsequently treated us with incredible kindness patience, and compassion as we went on to have our two daughters. I wonder how he would react to this, or the hundreds of thousands of husbands my age and older, now fathers and grandfathers, who have had a similar experience, and yet intend to vote for Donald Trump.
  11. A few years ago I was at the William Cannon/35 Gold’s and a middle aged man put one of the TVs on Fox News and a strong looking woman with short spiked hair and a a bicycle tattoo on her thigh changed it back to Dr Quinn (seriously) and the man changed it back to Fox, and she changed it back to Dr Quinn and kept the remote at her machine. He steps off his treadmill and starts walking over, and in a loud brogue, she shouts “get back to your work, you pudding!” That was 15+ years ago. I hope she lives in Texas because she is the hero we need.
  12. Lawdogs- wouldn’t that be trespass to chattel? I seem to recall Scot Powe talking about this when he taught some undergrad history of the Surpreme Court (he was awesome). That’s one of the big trespasses, along with person and land, right? I would be mostly concerned that this is a work, like the George Bush AWOL memo. A fake, planted to discredit an entire narrative annd the press who cover it, and present a bad actor as a victim. George Bush actually did get out of Vietnam through influence and Gore/Kerry served, but the memo story inoculated him, which was likely the purpose of planting the memo.
  13. The rumor around town is that John Carter is retiring and she’s going to run for CD31 in ‘26. @Bateshorn have you heard this? Hooboy
  14. Or 2008. Swing state poll averages in 2008 and 2012 underestimated Obama‘s strength in every state but one- GA (IRRC). In most of the swing states they missed low by 4+
  15. I wouldn’t say either are racing rightward politically. I would say they are moving in the same direction culturally, and voting Republican is semi-symptomatic. Not sure exactly what to call that direction.
  16. Understood, but in my opinion Nevada is both the most likely Biden state to flip this cycle.
  17. It’s the Big Sort at work. NV and GA are sprinting in opposite directions. Nevada is moving towards Florida. The crazy thing is that Arizona is moving the other way from NV, just more slowly.
  18. It’s true. Men in Texas are not responding well to the 12oz roll or sage blend. There are indications that until the 16oz roll is returned to market they will go back to making their own sausage like they did thirty years ago, despite agreeing that it’s not as good.
