  1. Haley has played this well politically. She’s endorsed Trump and has recently said publicly that she’s willing to go anywhere the Trump campaign needs her. They haven’t called her and she last personally spoke to Trump in June. Any criticism that she’s has about the campaign deliberately looks to avoid criticizing Trump directly. It’s more at the campaign leaders who will take the brunt of Trump hatred when he loses.
  2. Perhaps Harris can put together some commercials and go on podcasts saying that Biden mumbled and stuttered, and that it was a misquote.
  3. Fair game to call Biden’s comments stupid because they were. Especially given the history of the Hillary and “basket of deplorables” fired up maga last time. Harris’ campaign has been relatively flawless at least in terms of unforced errors, and she doesn’t need Biden jumping in the last week to make mistakes. i assume Biden is tired of holding his tongue and went undisciplined yesterday. Dude you can say whatever you want in 7 days.
  4. Biden is President and obviously can make comments to the press like calling some voters garbage. However he and his team know that you shouldn’t interfere in a race that you weren’t asked to comment. As an aside I can’t imagine where we would be right now if Biden was still running. Besides preparing for a red wave.
  5. Has Trump reserved the Four Seasons Landscaping parking lot for a Wednesday press conference? I’m not worried about his legal challenges until he makes that power move.
  6. On a slow news day it was probably easy for an editor to tell a reporter to write obits for famous people. Especially in the days when you didn’t have Wikipedia, IMDb, or even AI today.
  7. I had an acquaintance mention that he was for Trump because Trump will blow up the federal govt and then it can be built back. I didn’t care enough to ask him to expand on the details.
  8. Before Laura walks out, all of the RNC paperwork gets burned and the email/data gets deleted. And those left behind will be reminded of the NDAs to the Trump family and the penalties for violating them.
  9. Even though the Idaho dairy association lead says that a crackdown on illegal workers will end dairy production in Idaho, I bet he still votes Trump. He will tell himself that Trump isn’t talking about their production workers or that it’s just hyperbole. Then when Stephen Miller’s brown shirts come for the workers, the Idaho dairy farmers will ask and receive a handout from Trump for being a loyal state.
  10. I don’t care if the arsonist is a crazy MAGAt or the DNC chair. If you’re destroying ballots, I see that as an attempted coup. A very poor attempt at a coup but a coup nonetheless. The penalty should take intent into account.
  11. I bet Bannon has all of these ideas for Trumps campaign. I can’t imagine any of trumps handlers want them interacting at this point.
  12. In a hypothetical scenario the govt could attempt to make it illegal to hold crypto outside an approved custodian. It would be impossible to fully enforce but they could make it difficult to get new dollars into crypto. Like the following for US citizens. Deposit USD into coinbase buy crypto coinbase is only allowed to transfer crypto to 1 of 10 custodians. Or whatever number. coinbase rejects random crypto deposits. I’m not advocating this but this is a potential path that a govt could use to control crypto. Unfortunately it would only control it for more law abiding citizens. International options would still be possible.
  13. If Harris loses NV the main pain is the strong likelihood of also losing the senate seat. There isn’t a realistic scenario of the Dems retaining the senate at all. And since the GOP taking the senate this year has been the expected result for several years now, the real impact is that ‘26 and ‘28 becomes that much more difficult for the Dems.
  14. As for 1, the only consensus that people have come up with is if quantum computing could suddenly break the security algorithm. Which would mean any password for crypto, bank accounts, whatever would be hackable. Obviously the impact would be greater to non -crypto. Bitcoin code is open for all to see and the developers are not pushing new code with a new sprint each week. 2 has a lower potential each day as more traditional investors are moving into it daily. Now both parties are taking big money from crypto so I don’t see the risk like I did 5 years ago. disclaimer that you may be 100% right about both. I dont have a crystal ball.
  15. I bet any known name makes some advertisement money. Advertisers approach teams and agents with budgets and effectively ask who they can get. Recognizable faces and names are better. He was defensive player of year, all pro, 2nd overall pick. His ad money isn’t zero. perhaps he doesn’t have a national ad but few players have that.
  16. DJT stock is up over 3x in a month. Trading was temp halted this morning because the price rally was too high. if Trump wins, I suppose DJT could go up another 50%. But if he loses, it may drop 95% Wednesday. I like to make money but I wouldn’t touch this.
  17. Crickets on conservative boards about bosa. I could only imagine the reaction if an AA player had a Kamala hat on. as for Bosa I bet his agent called him asking wtf was he doing unless he wants to be dropped by any current advertiser.
  18. After a fair amount of time (crypto time) stuck in the 55-63 range, btc has easily pushed north of 70k. What I’m unsure is how this is related to the election or not. I’ve heard some macro Econ thinkers say that both candidates look to be adding to inflation with Trump potentially being higher. No CR intended but just relating what I heard. and that with inflation, some big investors are looking to both btc and gold as a hedge against inflation. It’s one thing to read a reddit post about someone investing their life savings of $15k in bitcoin but it’s something else when millionaires if not billionaires are saying the same. This still gives me confidence in the future for bitcoin. since I brought up the election, I could see a quick btc price drop if Trump loses. Once again no CR just speculation about a future possibility.
  19. The increasing loudness of some Wall Street leaders saying that Trump will win tells me that they’re unsure that Harris is slightly leading. If they truly thought the race was over, they would just sit back and do whatever behind the scenes that would make them and their client the most money. Instead they’re trying to move the needle ever so much by telling everyone the race is over.
  20. I know there is doctor-patient confidentiality but I would never tell a psychologist that I murdered someone. Not that I ever would murder someone. (See how easy it is.)
  21. If the WashPo had said 6 months ago they were not endorsing a candidate as the full editorial board, they would have taken some heat but at least it would have set the plans well in advance. 10 days before the election is weak. like others I cancelled my washpo sub subscription as a protest. The sad part is that the news side of their house has nothing to do with the ownership/editorial side and the news side will take any job cuts due to lost subscriptions. However cancelled subscriptions is the only way that subscribers can communicate their reaction.
  22. Bosa’s a little bitch. Runs on the field with a maga hat but then tells the press later that he doesn’t want to talk about it. You have a microphone in front of you where you can say whatever you want about your beliefs but instead act like a 8 year old caught doing something wrong. At least be a man about it.
  23. Something seems off. I looked up the Texas crime rates for 2023. There were 11K reported rapes. I can understand that many rapes are unreported but this feels like one of the reports is wrong. On the subject, the rape/sexual assault rates in small towns is through the roof. The one bright spot is that clearance rate is also higher presumably due to being a small town. Link Page 25 Sadly clearance rate overall is shamefully low.
  24. I could be convinced that Trump or Harris will win 330 EVs. I don't see why we should believe polls. I think their margin of errors definitions are even wrong.
  25. you never know but I don't see him wanting to do that because that somewhat implies he made a mistake. I see it more of Trump saying that Leftists can't take a joke and that he loves Puerto Ricans more than anyone.
