  1. I see a tweet from Stein on the first part. Are you sure about the 250 and under? One reason I ask is that I would expect a bunch of “double-max” donors yesterday. There is a max donation for the primary and for the general. As soon as Harris accepted the nomination, her general started and a bunch of “double max” donors could finish out their pledge. But those donations are $3300 each phase now.
  2. Over/under on how long before he rescinds the endorsement? I’m saying 4 weeks.
  3. The problem with fact checking is that it requires either trusting the fact checker or effort on the audience to check the source material. While Kamala should still call bullshit, that just shows it’s disputed. But weird is self-evident. Counting “the I’s instead of the lies” is also easy to show. Trump is going to complain about all the injustices that have been done to him, and Harris needs to hammer that. He’s just a whiny rich boy who can’t stand not having everything he wants, especially a second term.
  4. Pennsylvania is the biggest concern (tightest percentages) for the rust belt swing states. But, it may just take a while to get Kamala signs, particularly if the old man is not great at the inter webs. He might not get one until someone knocks on his door. I am hopeful the very active UAW support helps in PA.
  5. That’s an interesting extrapolation from one word. I can write up a longer explanation in the Israel thread tonight, if you’re interested.
  6. That's like the ninth rule of fight club in the unrated director's cut. It's why the first two rules is you don't talk about it.
  7. I would guess they audit the contributions and have to return ones that aren't proper, like folks that have gone over the limit.
  8. In the past, I believe there has been a delay between when trolls racks up the negatives and when they are gone. Not sure why. But I wouldn't be surprised to see him gone tomorrow.
  9. https://secure.actblue.com/ (Second night in a row I've posted that. You can also donate to other races using the same site.)
  10. There is no modern Roman Empire. You’re an idiot who doesn’t understand the difference between Ancient Rome, run by dictators, and America. Go slink back to your fantasies.
  11. A protest is a peaceful movement.
  12. Excellent. That only works if people are watching it. He just told his cult to watch something outside their bubble.
  13. Appears to be swing state night.
  14. I assume it's the people in charge of the resources (the Sheriff) who would be jeopardy. I assume the Dems just want to let other Sheriff's know the law and that they may have to spend money on lawyers if they give Trump more free venues. Also, fuck the police, particularly in this instance.

    Do you honestly believe they would have received a speaking slot at the DNC to criticize Israel and current US policy towards Israel had they just pledged their support ahead of time? Really? I think y'alll are just writing bullshit down because you think it supports some argument that they are dumb or naive.

    Ok, so now they are getting attention. But, it's only attention from the public, and politicians don't pay attention to what the public is paying attention to. Do you maybe want to take a few minutes to construct a post that isn't complete bullshit?

    Attention is the currency of politics. Lobbying groups spend millions of dollars to get attention from politicians. Politicians spend orders of magnitude more to get attention from the public. Not sure, but I guess if they didn't get any, then it didn't do any harm, right.

    Do you think they would have gotten the attention from the party, campaign, or media if they didn't say they were uncommitted?

    They publicly said they would pledge their support if they got a few minutes at the convention. The lack of support wasn't the issue.
  20. For what it's worth, this is Tom Homan at the RNC 2024. He's not a terrible speaker, but it doesn't even seem like the majority of Republican delegates are into the message. There are few of them that are really into it, but most of them are either bored or uncomfortable.
  21. The second half of the text is interesting: When I point out what the Democratic Party and their super PACs have done to sabotage our campaign, their response is always, “but Trump is worse.” Here’s an idea: stop suing us. Let us debate. Quit rigging the media and the polls. It’s a simple formula, people—get with it. 1. Doesn't really refute Trump is worse. What a hollow fucking endorsement, if there is one. 2. Seems to be fishing for a negotiation rather than explaining a decision. That doesn't sound like someone who is actually planning to endorse Trump tomorrow. They may, but it seems like they are trying to figure out other options. Or they are just terrible at this.
  22. Probably more claps than cheers. Hard to cheer with your teeth clenched.
  23. It's JD Vance. He decided to stop pretending. If you hear some Diana Ross as the intro, you'll know I'm right.
  24. Perhaps he should have led with "I"m JD Vance, and I am working to eliminate minimum wage laws and overtime pay."
