Friday night notes Loving County is getting an early start on their voting fraud. With 129 voters registered there, 0 have participated in Dem primary and 26 have voted in Republican primary. NBC News and even the NYTimes have had some good stories the last two years. Don't yell at me if you don't know how to get past a paywall. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/loving-county-texas-voter-fraud-claims-rcna35791 https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/02/us/loving-county-texas.html - Had to include this cause of the Big Trouble in Little China headline Every county that touches the Mexico border had the participation below.Went from south to west in order. I did not count horseshoe counties that are close to touching.

Ahem… Dow Jones and S&P 500 close again at an all time high with unemployment at record lows and longest period at sub 4. Allow me to be the first to congratulate my president on jack-hammering his way to the greatest economy the world and the US has ever witnessed.

If this story is real, I’m flagging this thread for a name change to “Pushing Rope: Joe Biden 2024 thread “

No he doesn’t. And he shouldn’t. If you think Republicans would sideline themselves from bragging on this economy because some lube techs who will vote for them anyway can’t afford a vacation, ever, they wouldn’t. Real life is not Reddit where bike messengers with computer science PhDs complain about not having starter homes in walkable neighborhoods in Santa Monica after demanding loan forgiveness

Positive news that could put a big crack in the remaining resistance to Medicaid expansion. Mississippi leaders look to take it head on over Tate Reeves verbal farts https://mississippitoday.org/2024/02/21/legislative-leaders-medicaid-expansion-tate-reeves/ Kansas ignored the Governor again last month. Alabama Governor Kay Ivey would feel a ton of pressure from this, I believe she is term limited. Georgia is twiddling thumbs on a work requirement.

Gotta stop you here, you aren’t serious with this are you? Vaccinations only started December 2020

South Dakota residency and being able to vote there is EXTREMELY easy to obtain. A lot of Americans abroad keep a PO Box in South Dakota and aforementioned nomads/RV’ers do the same.

Most Austin firefighters that come teach at the academy love to tell you how much they make in overtime to sit around and not be firefighters but janitors.

Not a hot take and Ryan Zinke could easily lose his House Seat this year

Everyone just needs to start reporting Trump hasn’t been pictured with Melania in over 100 days. I’m sure it’s more, just start small and increase.

If you are in Houston, please vote for my girlfriend Amanda Edwards instead of SJL.

Let’s argue about variable annuities next

Hotels have adjusted to the competition while Airbnb continues to add fees and cities impose taxes. I found hotels in San Diego, Costa Mesa, and Culver City under 100 dollars while Airbnb’s would advertise around 150 but always end up at $250

Jesus Christ is there no thread integrity? We have a voter suppression thread

Was in Costa Mesa/Newport Beach yesterday and saw the Weirdos play in case there’s still anyone that listens to punk music. Cliff Roman is the only original member but he still had it

If Jared is making 1% on a 2 billion dollar Saudi Account that’s at least 20 million a year to help w payments

Texas has the most favorable demographics in the pipeline for D growth. https://www.texastribune.org/2021/08/12/texas-2020-census/ https://www.texastribune.org/2023/06/21/census-texas-hispanic-population-demographics/

The 2024 election will be a test of which party loses the fewest voters from 2020 COVID election. Record breaking numbers occurred everywhere that cycle and will not happen again outside of a few states. Dem states expanded access to the ballot and largely kept it, Republicans have done everything to stop it. The states needed to win have all expanded access I believe. Democrats are having their third straight all or nothing heart attack election with Trump and resounding midterm wins that has influenced two generations of engaged, young, and now CONSISTENT voters. The turnout myth of Donald Trump is not proven in Texas. Feel free to disagree. Defeatism without numbers is just pigeon talk. In 2016 his first year on top ballot, Republicans in Texas only showed a 3% gain in voters from 2012. Democrats the same year had a 17.2% growth in voters. In Covid year 2020, Republicans increased turnout in the state by 25.7% for Donald Trump, however Democrats increased turnout by 35.62%. In fact if you look at the gain in voters from Presidential from 2000 to 2020 in Texas you would say the side with the most momentum and team you want to hitch a future to is D. I even used growth cycle for sales ops and rev ops nerds.

Serves them right for starting this thread in January for a November election. I’ve been holding off on the Texas Primary thread just to prove a point that Trump fever is dead.

Wisconsin gets their maps, for now, maybe, if someone doesn’t pull a fast one-again.
