My biggest beef with Dotard.  He’s made voting for one side so repugnant that you have to vote for the other side regardless of policy.  Now we’ve gotta act excited about price controls. 

  Nobody proposed any “price controls,” come on.

The pending Krogers-Albertson merger is definitely concerning.

HEB kicked Krogers ass in Texas

 

You worried about that when the real problem is the 3-4 companies that control everything in the beef, crop, poultry, pork, etc industries.

I have no issue with the Fox poll. We will see a few Trump +1 / tied race to Harris +5-6 and that doesn’t change that its +3 Harris or so today

I bet this goes to like 51-52 Harris to 46 Trump

 

I think Trump is hard stuck at where he is where as Harris could get a few extra percentages. People who vote for Trump are not going to change much if at all.

I’m basically non-ideological on everything. The facts on the ground are what matter and you should always decide based on that.

This is one where I’d want to see whatever analysis they’ve done to say this is one of the situations where controls work out.  Austin doesn’t feel very monopolistic in grocery.  Small towns would more I’m sure, just like they’d seem that way for every type of business.

CNN out there digging up 20-year-old news on Tim Walz's DWI arrest and yet nary a peep on the $10M bribe to Trump from Egypt.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/15/politics/tim-walz-2006-campaign-falsely-described-dwi-kfile/index.html

Quote

When Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz first ran for Congress in 2006, his campaign repeatedly made false statements about the details of his 1995 arrest for drunk and reckless driving.

According to court and police records connected to the incident, Walz admitted in court that he had been drinking when he was pulled over for driving 96 mph in a 55 mph zone in Nebraska. Walz was then transported by a state trooper to a local hospital for a blood test, showing he had a blood alcohol level of .128, well above the state’s legal limit of 0.1 at the time.

But in 2006, his campaign repeatedly told the press that he had not been drinking that night, claiming that his failed field sobriety test was due to a misunderstanding related to hearing loss from his time in the National Guard. The campaign also claimed that Walz was allowed to drive himself to jail that night.

I honestly think a lot of Biden’s unpopularity was due to his age and that he was running again. His biggest negative has gone away since July 21st. 

What can be, unburdened by what has been so to say.

Actually, shooting at his dick. It's not an easy target and it hides.

Ladies and gentlemen, the new auctioneer on Storage Wars!

"I promise to take bids more slowly so the stupid childless cat ladies will understand me! Sure, some of the cat ladies aren't white, but we still love them."

This would be so humiliating if any non-shameless person was in his shoes. Walking across an empty asphalt parking lot to ascend the dais set up in front of loading docks would seem endless. Then you arrive, and there is nobody around except for some malcontent extras who didn't like their box lunches and hate you.

Should you have a dream like that, it would be a nightmare of sinking stomach and heart. That is, if you were not shameless.

I mean, it sucks that we live in a world where human avarice seems to trump almost all of our positive attributes. It sucks that people suck. But here were are, so yeah, I'd love to input price controls becuase I don't like fuckig corporate based inflation.

It's all about laying the foundation to contest the election when he loses. He'll file lawsuits that she was not a legitimate candidate because Biden won the primaries. It's just throwing grievance shit against the wall. But it's also whining because he spent years making Biden out as the feeble candidate and now that's him.
