  1. Man I love Pete. He is the best communicator in all of politics right now.
  2. As a white, “last year of the baby boom” boomer, who held senior exec business roles, I’m furious at the boomers and business executives in this country who just don’t understand what you’ve written. The data is all there. For me, it all became obvious when I realized my kids couldn’t afford a car because the price had gone up 12x from when I bought my first car, but the hourly wage they made in their part time job was the SAME as what I made at that age. From that point on, I was no longer blind to the challenges of the generations after me.
  3. If he watches Fox he’s an idiot. The entire channel is nothing but propaganda on the level of what North Korea pumps out. The fact he doesn’t know that is frightening because I seem to recall your FIL is in some position of authority.
  4. I was at an incredible low a week ago. Trump’s espionage case was dropped. And I still had enormous frustration over the Democrats not effectively using the pounds of material available on Trump to destroy him via effective messaging. Those who know that I dip into cloak room periodically also know I’ve been complaining about Democrat messaging for a few years now. I can’t help it. It’s my marketing background and it’s made me miserable. But suddenly, today, we are finally starting to hear some of that material. For Christ’s sake his entire cabinet said he’s unfit for office. Use that data!!!!! I’m really starting to get fired up that we may not have to face the dystopian future that was before us only three days ago. I am really jazzed.
  5. Yes I mistyped Islay. I meant to type Skye with Portree. on Oban, yes it’s doesn’t seem like there is much there but it is a nice central location to see Iona, and some sites East before we head down to Islay. If you’ve got a suggestion for a better location to be based between Skye and Islay, that would be great.
  6. You have to stop posting the Beyoncé gif. Every time it makes make think of Juston Timberlake and Andy Samberg in leotards.
  7. Is it my imagination or are there several right leaning posters who’ve stated in the last day that they will vote for Harris over Trump? I thought I saw posts from several.
  8. Can someone explain baseball recruiting. How does a coach figure out who to offer given that ~2-7 players may get drafted and never show up? If they dedicate a space to those guys, it means they probably pass up guys on the next layer down. Because those guys will have committed somewhere else, forcing Texas to drop to the third layer or lower to pick up guys to fill the slots opened by drafted players. Or, do they just over sign, knowing that those guys aren’t likely to show up? But why go to that trouble? If they do show up now you have too many players.
  9. Correct. While Texas is not flippable it’s extremely important to let everyone you know in Texas that they should vote anyway to help with Senate and Congressional races. The wacko majority right now needs to be culled.
  10. Either I forgot to enter or they forgot to tell me.
  11. He’s just a political opportunist grifting his way to death.
  12. I don’t think that is a good idea at all. She needs every second to campaign. She can’t be bogged down running the country.
  13. I visited surly for the first time in a long time while not logged in. Holy cow, the site looks completely infected. No one who visits the site realizes that if you get an account and log in that those ads go away. It keeps the site from growing.
  14. I’m unclear how I contribute to Kamala’s campaign. I don’t find a website other than Biden’s.
  15. Oh I can easily imagine it because I’ve seen his moronic posts in the baseball thread. He’s not a troll. He’s just really that stupid. Thank the Lord. That idiot has been a waste of computer resources on this site for far too long.
  16. Don’t worry about the $100m in political donations tied to Biden. If they can’t be used Immamac has assured me that 100 surly posters will each step up with $1m each.
  17. I think everyone is forgetting about the best possible VP choice for Kamela. It’s someone who has been a Washington insider, who has deep political experience, and has tremendous foreign policy experience. That VP candidate? Joe Biden.
  18. For those that are criticizing this move, I get it. It’s a tough call. He might have been able to rally and win. However, the stakes are huge. They are as big as they’ve been in our country’s history. I found in business over the years that trying to band-aid a problem rarely if ever worked. And that’s where the Democrats were until today. I’ve always found that going ahead and ripping off the bandaid and taking bold action with strong leadership usually resulted in far better outcomes. Embrace this bold action and let’s get behind Harris and WIN!
  19. Thanks. I’m off to Vegas to bet my entire net worth on the Democrats now.
