He can announce it, but he's not going to actively campaign. And Cannon won't delay his trial until 2029. And do you honestly think the BMDs will allow him to hang around and continue to taint the GOP? Vance is just a glimpse of what's to come - he's got Thiel money backing him, but there will be others, most likely people we are not considering (it won't be Cruz or DeSantis).

Ducking and covering for a nuclear war that was never going to happen = weird. Ducking and covering for school shootings that happen multiple times every year...yeah.

He knows he couldn't win a fourth time and most likely he'll be able to continue grifting without campaigning. He controls the RNC and it's coffers - they can keep funneling money into his PACs and properties.

This was from yesterday, and I'll look for the video from today, but he's looking a lot more winded/tired than in the past. My wife doesn't watch anything with him in it regularly, and she saw a short clip from this week and mentioned that he looked off/tired. 78 years is catching up with him fast, and he has to have read some of Jack Smith's stuff with all of those Republicans testifying against him. You can watch a video of the same speech here: https://www.c-span.org/video/?538809-1/president-trump-campaigns-waunakee-wisconsin And Colbert was talking about it last night https://www.thewrap.com/stephen-colbert-monologue-donald-trump-decline-cbs/

Melania doesn't give a shit about the peasants.

I vaguely remember the Reagan Democrats stuff, but in looking around, it was nothing like this. Not even close. I feel like it will be a blowout, because if you have some amazingly high-profile Republicans, including Dick Fucking Cheney who are willing to publicly endorse Kamala, there has to be plenty of moderate Republicans who don't care for Trump personally, who will stay home or vote Harris. George H. W. Bush, Bob Dole, George W. Bush, John McCain, Mitt Romney, were all "boring" choices for the most part, that appealed to the moderates and the old-fashioned conservatives, and those voters are still around, and can't be happy that Trump is trying to blow everything up and is causing a lot of down-ballot losses. All these Republican politicians coming out for Harris is going to give plenty of them the mental cover they need to stay home or vote Harris.

Yeah, but unlike Cassidy Hutchinson, most of us won't have a shitload of people who want to kill us. She's probably got a security detail.

Melania's full video because nobody was asking. I actually think this is a huge deal, because it really is a FUCK YOU to Donnie and the GOP.

It would be nice if that happened and it panicked the Republicans into moving more towards the center instead of Hand Maid's Tale. But we know that if they barely win, it'll be a sign they need to go into Taliban territory.

Cruz is desperate and doesn't know how to attack Allred, so he goes to the well. News at 11.

I needed some history credits and I took a History of the Cold War class at ACC a couple of years ago. The professor and I were both alive during a decent chunk of the Cold War. The rest of the class was born after the Cold War. It was actually a really good class, but most of the others in the class thought it was weird that we used to have duck-and-cover drills as kids.

Perun one is what it sounds like (and you can easily listen to it in the background), discussing how the Russians got lazy (similar to how they were lazy with their borders/Kursk). The Anders Puck Nielsen one gets into strategies and about how the Russians are still able to sustain the losses that they are because they have so much old equipment that they are rushing to the front, but that they are headed towards a point where they will run out, maybe sooner rather than later. They may have culminated already and he's arguing that. There's actually some OSINT people who have been looking at satellite photos (and he's referencing some of this) and they are looking at long-term storage at various military bases (the Russians love to store their stuff out in the open) and seeing those storage bases emptying out and seeing bases and repair depots closer to Ukraine growing in numbers of tanks, etc. so people are able to see Russia emptying out their storage. It's like if we were fighting Mexico, and were having to go dig our M60 tanks out of storage.

Things are getting bad there. This was August. https://variety.com/2024/digital/news/cartoon-network-shuts-down-warner-bros-discovery-max-signup-1236101422/ This was earlier in the week https://gizmodo.com/warner-bros-max-cartoon-network-streaming-removal-steven-universe-gumball-regular-show-2000506062

Don't mean to be Debbie Downer on an awesome page, but Abbott is probably the only person that can save an autistic guy who was failed by the hospital/doctors that he took his daughter to. https://www.kxan.com/news/texas/texas-lawmakers-urge-mercy-for-autistic-man-set-to-be-executed-in-childs-death/ Knowing Abbott, he'll let the guy die, even though Republicans and Democrats both believe he needs to grant him clemency.

Watching the guy behind WordPress self-immolate and potentially divide/destroy at least part of the WordPress community, it's definitely reminiscent of Leon, complete with the WordPress guy threatening to "go nuclear" on a competing company. People are wondering if he's having a manic episode, and that would explain a lot about other tech millionaires/billionaires....

Dutch view on things (he's a really good analyst)

It's interesting that he's nationalizing these energy companies while at the same shutting down the census. Those things are really bad signs for his Special Military Operation. Also means he thinks he's in it for the long haul.

If those young men and women rip out their guts and eat them, wouldn't they bleed out on the battlefield and do us no good?

If you are happy with your life, you aren't sitting around listening to people rail for hours about how bad things are and how they are not your fault and it's somebody else's fault, etc. Outrage sells.
