  1. I’m on IPhone and CR seems to keep reloading every topic maybe halfway through the page on its own and a second or third if it is so long to scroll. Don’t know if it’s all the gifs, memes or twitter loads.
  2. Where was Gregory Abbott III when this happened? We NEED TASK FORCE PHOTO OPS!!!

  4. I don’t think the “car at 16” milestone will ever be replaced, but you see it all over the trendy cities that e-bikes are the new thing if you don’t have a large commute.
  5. How many times do we have to post wage gains for blue collar workers since COVID or stats on real wages to show nobody cares about your librul bullshit Dixon.
  6. And it’s one trick that Realtors don’t want you to know!
  7. I believe durable goods is what Gen Z calls their conversion vans.
  8. The single greatest GDP report in American history. 2.8%. Gepetto Biden continues to pull all the right strings, and our puppet master puts on a masterful display of economic big-brain activity. Waiting on this upcoming recession has been mighty impressive by some individuals. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2024/07/25/us-gdp-q2-2024.html
  9. Oh. Missed it. Unless you’re fucking with me. I don’t know.
  10. This is going to be the most obvious thing that comes out after the campaign is over. If everyone just took the time to physically touch their own ear, see how big the round was used, and not come away with the realization that’d he be way more bloody or missing part of the back of his skull, than Manti Teo wants to tell you about his girlfriend.
  11. Pat yourself on the back, please. You’re not part of the problem, smarter than everyone here, and above it all handcruisin
  12. GDP number out tomorrow, PCE out Friday. Could yo-yo. Could kill me.
  13. I want everyone to enjoy the summertime sugar high, put some face paint on and point at the zoo animals in the Republican side and laugh. But pretending this thread was nothing more than a shitshow of grievances for 3 weeks, with no consensus on POTUS stepping down early or riding out the term, no agreement on a candidate, and no idea how to settle on a new candidate at the convention, the poster is definitely putting the cart before the horse. Love the fundraising numbers though and seeing a reinvigorated core constituency that never left in black women.
  14. Gotta imagine Souls to the Polls demonstrations are going to warrant a shit ton of security
  15. AI Overview Learn more… Yes, Mountain Dew was originally developed in the 1940s by Tennessee brothers Barney and Ally Hartman as a mixer for whiskey or bourbon. The brothers named the drink "Mountain Dew" to reference its intended use as a chaser for whiskey, and the drink's original name was slang for moonshine. The Hartmans had trouble finding their preferred soda to mix with liquor in Knoxville, so they created their own. To appeal to moonshiners, the brand also adopted an Appalachian feel and featured a mascot named Willy the Hillbilly. When mixed with whiskey, a Mountain Dew highball can taste similar to a whiskey sour with bubbles.
  16. The guy running it is from California, moved to the free state of Florida, but is protesting in Nashville cause of their freedom of speech.
  17. Since everyone has shared the Kendrick Lamar video ad, I present this. Joe Biden/J Cole “nope I’m out”
  18. Zero chance oooohh Someone should let their Dem Governor know
  19. Kamala Harris Breaks Record of Tiebreaking Votes in the Senate The vice president has provided the decisive vote in the Senate 32 times, in a reflection of Democrats’ narrow majority and broader polarization in politics. Dec. 5, 2023 Vice President Kamala Harris broke the centuries-old record on Tuesday for the most tiebreaking votes cast by a vice president in the Senate, underscoring Democrats’ tenuous hold on the majority and the deep polarization gripping Congress. It was the latest bit of history to be made by Ms. Harris, a former senator from California and the first woman, African American and Asian American to serve as vice president. She cast her 32nd tiebreaking vote on Tuesday, beating the previous record of 31 set nearly 200 years ago by John C. Calhoun, who was vice president from 1825 to 1832. “Today is historic,” Senator Chuck Schumer, the majority leader, said on the Senate floor after Ms. Harris cast her vote. “The record Vice President Harris sets today is significant not just because of the number, but because of what she’s made possible with tiebreaking votes.” Mr. Schumer presented Ms. Harris with a golden gavel to commemorate the milestone after she provided the 51st vote to move ahead with confirming Judge Loren AliKhan to the U.S. District Court in Washington. Senator Joe Manchin III, Democrat of West Virginia, broke with his party and voted to block the move, leaving the chamber in a 50-50 tie and prompting Ms. Harris to step in. While Democrats and the White House celebrated the move, the occasion was the latest reminder of the deep polarization in Congress and the Democrats’ razor-thin Senate majority that has forced Ms. Harris to provide the decisive vote more times in just under three years than any other vice president. With slim margins of control in Congress and a substantial domestic agenda, Mr. Biden has relied on Ms. Harris for the decisive votes to advance major legislation including his sweeping pandemic aid plan and his expansive health, climate and tax law, the Inflation Reduction Act. Five of her tiebreakers advanced the confirmation of federal judges. The vice president serves as the president of the Senate, giving her the constitutional power to break ties in the 100-member body. Since 1789, 300 tiebreaking votes have been cast. Former Vice President Mike Pence provided 13 tiebreakers while in office, and President Biden cast none while serving as vice president. “It is only fitting that Vice President Harris — the first woman, the first Black American, and the first South Asian American elected vice president — has set a new standard and brought us into the 21st century,” Representative James E. Clyburn, Democrat of South Carolina and the assistant House Democratic leader, said in a statement noting that Mr. Calhoun had been a major proponent of slavery. “This historic moment should serve as a monument to the significant progress we have made under the Biden-Harris administration and a testament to this administration’s promise to deliver on behalf of the American people.” Ms. Harris entered the chamber Tuesday afternoon wearing an emerald green pantsuit and shared a hug with her former colleague Senator John Hickenlooper, Democrat of Colorado, who was presiding over the Senate, before they swapped positions on the dais and she cast her history-making vote. She had hoped that last year’s elections — which gave her party a 51-to-49 edge — would provide her some more breathing space to carve out her own lane as vice president. Late last year, Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona left the Democratic Party to become an independent, but she often still votes with Democrats. Ms. Harris has been forced to remain tethered to Washington, never more than 24 hours away from the Capitol when the Senate was in session in case her vote was needed. “Every time duty has called, Vice President Harris has answered — more than any other vice president in our nation’s long and storied history,” Mr. Schumer said on the Senate floor as Ms. Harris presided on Tuesday. “This is a great milestone, and yours is even a greater legacy.”
  20. North Carolina added the 3rd most people to their state since 2020 behind Texas and Florida. Choosing their popular, term limited Governor, for VP while also having a maniac Republican running for his spot, puts some good attention on the state and ramps up the R’s defense.
