  1. That is some repugnant shit. Currently getting ratioed 10:1.
  2. I guess maybe this could have some minor impact on enthusiasm but it’s like when Trump said we should take guns before due process and @fattyflattie voted for him anyway- his voters (and this is especially true with evangelical pro-lifers) don’t care that Trump doesn’t care about policy.
  3. I think the disconnect is that the people who think this is a bad economy are responding to the fact that the economy is rigged against them.
  4. No doubt such a merger would not be great for competition. But- words mean things. If everything is price gouging, nothing is.
  5. Price discovery is not a shenanigan. It’s the primary function of a marketplace. That’s right. To call it “gouging” implies that consumers were subjected to unfair pricing for goods they must have despite a lack of choice and imbalance of negotiating power. That’s not what happened here. Kroger apparently increased some prices a bit to see if people would pay them, and they did. That’s just not what gouging means.
  6. Yeah, I agree with this. And as posted Elsewhere:
  7. Hey a quick point of personal privilege: I buried my grandfather last year at DFW national cemetery. He was 100 years old. He had been dead for over two years, so it wasn’t like a surprise and he was 75 years away from the war. But stil, man. You’ve heard it 1000 times but then you are sitting there and they say “On behalf of the President of the United States, and a grateful nation, please accept this flag as a symbol of our appreciation for your loved one's honorable and faithful service” and then they hand you the flag. It really gets you. I mean, you realize and fully appreciate the gravity of the place, and what was risked, and why. And for whom. my point is this: fuck JD Vance.
  8. Haha hey yall we were kinda fucking around with that whole “ uncommitted” thing haha
  9. Not the original version, but this is how I heard it first in my house in the 70s
  10. Maybe they collected 650 mail in registration cards, but I would be shocked if there were 650 people who made the effort to attend a Trump rally who were eligible to vote but not registered. Who would be this person? Someone who also did not have a driver’s license? A young or first time voter?
  11. He’s working from one end to the other and all points in between
  12. Someone in the comments said “Bro thought he was Remo”
  13. I wouldn’t make it a habit, but for a big interview, I would absolutely hit that. If she can use this big hyped up initial interview to frame horserace discourse and access journalism as part of what frustrates voters, without antagonizing the media she actually needs, it’s a winner.
  14. If I’m coaching Harris: “You’re asking ME why frustrated people vote for Donald Trump? Because he lies to them. Because he sells them magic beans. Seriously, that’s the answer. And while it’s my job to make a better argument than he does and help them understand how our policies can help, it’s YOUR job to help them separate fact from fiction. And your profession has utterly failed at that, because you’re too focused on horserace bullshit and asking candidates for office to put each other’s voters on the couch. So after all the whining about me taking my message straight to the voters and not going through your platform to speak to them, are you going to interview me or what? You do your job, David, and I’ll do mine.”
  15. My experience instructs me not to assume the latter on the basis of the former.
