  1. Chuckle. They may sniff around an Iceberg lettuce only because it’s the least nutritious. They’re suspicious of the other woke lettuces.
  2. Undocumented workers are 3.6% of the US population. The mass deportation that a majority of Americans voted for will disproportionately impact construction, agriculture and hospitality industries. Mass deportation will remove 30% of workers in major construction trades and 28% of graters and sorters who keep agricultural businesses afloat. A quarter of domestic household workers will be sent packing. Among the millions of undocumented workers who will be deported are one million entrepreneurs who pump an estimated 27 billion back into the US economy. Mass deportation will deprive local, state and federal governments of 46 billion in federal tax dollars that would no longer be paid, and another 29 billion in state and local taxes. When Trump deports with “shock and awe” as promised, the result will be a 4.2% decline in US GDP, which is only slightly better than the 4.6% decline we experienced in the Great Recession. Again, I want to see the look on the faces of those holding up Deport Now signs when Iceberg lettuce at Kroger is $12 a head.
  3. Heard rumors Comcast may be considering a sale of MSNBC. They’re fearing the ratings drop may be indicative of bigger structural problems. Rupert Murdoch is being mentioned as a potential buyer. This would be catastrophic. But as long as the answer to every question is money, I’m not sure what the future holds for a free media in a quasi fascist America.
  4. I’d like to hear from white people on the plausibility of this theory. Some believe Maga voter was animated by how much media attention was given to Kamala’s ability to galvanize support early on from various ethnicities and interest groups. I’m told that watching White women for Kamala, Latinos of Kamala, White dudes for Kamala, Black men for Kamala, Gays for Kamala, Republicans for Kamala, Evangelicals for Kamala…scared the crap out of Maga, and they turned out big time. Thoughts?
  5. Can somebody explain this guy? The man’s quote was included in an article by The Philadelphia Inquirer that explored how the president-elect, buoyed by voters’ economic anxieties, won Pennsylvania despite being called a fascist. https://mail.yahoo.com/m/folders/1/messages/AKQYBMQ_zQwwZzwK6gHkYDaHWac?.intl=ca&.lang=en-CA&.src=ym&reason=mobile The excerpt that went viral on social media read:
  6. Haven’t watched one newscast since the ejection, and I’m a news junkie. I’m still processing all that’s happen and trying understand…
  7. I understand he’s dragging Democrats and their woke agenda in the aftermath of the election. What does Maher want, other than to recover his lost audience?
  8. Texas has just over 18,000,000 registered voters, of which about half have already voted. If we’re not careful, we’re gonna fool around and lose our status as a non voting state.
  9. I don’t think they’re allowed in Texas either.
  10. Hearing from the husbands of the two Texas women forced to die by Ted would be compelling TV.
  11. Kielce was right not to jeopardize his multi million dollar deal over some kid. Toxic fragility masquerading as bro masculinity. It’s a Maga thing.
  12. Update: SC poll worker issued summons for assault: https://www.wistv.com/2024/11/01/incident-report-reveals-more-details-about-fight-orangeburg-county-early-voting-location/ While the incident report contained a great deal of the man’s account, as well as the person who took the video, almost the entirety of the poll worker’s account to officers was redacted. The incident report also showed the poll worker was issued a summons for third degree assault and battery but was not arrested. You can read the incident report here:
  13. Greenfield says if you’re still deciding today, you should just skip it. I don’t it understand either: https://politizoom.com/pundit-jeff-greenfield-has-a-provocative-idea-undecideds-shouldnt-vote/#google_vignette Greenfield doesn’t get into that. Instead what he writes about is how pervasive information about this election and the candidates has been. Month after month of it being in the news, and talked about in families. With friends. At work. At other places. Greenfield points out that for anyone who wants to do some checking, to get online and research how accurate this or that news story or candidate statement(s) is it’s easy enough to do. If someone WANTS to. His argument is that having been bombarded for months with information those who are actually undecided spent MONTHS willfully and purposely tuning it out. Ignoring it.
  14. Maga loser was selected to validate the accuracy of vote counting machine. He stole a couple of ballots in a failed effort to sabotage the results. Cam Captured Ex-MAGA Candidate Stuffing Ballots in His Pocket https://www.yahoo.com/news/cam-captured-ex-maga-candidate-151148777.html
  15. These Magalitia are taking this tough bro shit too far. Somebody’s gonna get hurt: Bullying women. What a coward. https://www.newsweek.com/early-voting-fight-south-carolina-trump-supporter-poll-worker-1978095
  16. How CEO’s bet on the election. Insightful: https://www.msnbc.com/11th-hour/watch/how-ceos-bet-on-election-proximity-to-power-is-power-223140421663
  17. If it’s really the economy, Trump shouldn’t have a chance: https://www.wsj.com/economy/the-next-president-inherits-a-remarkable-economy-7be2d059
  18. The strategy for both the corporate and the Trump campaign is to paint this as a horse race when they know better. Saying it’s close over and over all day long creates the intended anxiety to keep people hanging on their.every word. This is a strategy. Remember this?
  19. We’re going to look back on this period as one of the darkest in our state and country’s history.
  20. I could be wrong, but I think Bibi, in the run up to our election, is trying to exact as much violence, death and destruction in Gaza so as to stoke Arab anger in swing states against Kamala. It’s at least part of his larger political calculation.
  21. Nothing Bezos says matters since he was okay with the Post endorsing senate candidates in VA. and MD.
  22. Her ratings were in the tank until she added mud wrestling. Now she’s CNN’s must see TV.
  23. “I am not a Nazi, but it would be perfectly fine if I was.” fify.
  24. I find Trump with 47% of the projected vote stupefying.
