Are you telling me that our country is in the hands of Steelers and eagles fans?

Steelers and Eggles fans are DEMS.

It's the Penn St, Lockhaven, Slippery Rock fans who are the problem.

Something old lobo mentioned yrs ago was the college campus push the gop was trying to mobilize. seeing Charlie Kirk and the TPA assholes post videos from campus visits is a bit alarming, esp in PA and AZ. I’m sure there’s some bussing in or paid stooge action to some degree but still is gross that college kids would gravitate toward such a grotesque human in every way.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris has secured the endorsement of one of the nation’s largest Muslim American voter mobilization groups, marking a significant boost to her campaign since many Muslim and Arab American organizations have opted to support third-party candidates or not endorse.

Emgage Action, the political arm of an 18-year-old Muslim American advocacy group, endorsed Harris’ presidential campaign on Wednesday, saying in a statement provided first to The Associated Press that the group “recognizes the responsibility to defeat” Donald Trump in November.

Honestly remarkable how Trump not only has softened the GOP’s opinion of Russia, he has them all actively rooting against Ukraine. Purely because he wants to fuck Putin.

Well, the GOP married Trump. It's a cuckold thing, I'd guess.

https://www.cleveland.com/news/2024/09/ohio-will-invalidate-votes-for-2024-presidential-candidate-jill-stein-because-of-vp-swap.html

COLUMBUS, Ohio—Ohioans’ votes cast this fall for presidential candidate Jill Stein will not count because the Green Party nominated her running mate after a state administrative deadline, according to party and state officials.

Stein, who filed to run as an independent presidential candidate in Ohio because the Green Party lost state recognition several years ago, will still appear on state ballots, which began to be sent out last week to overseas and military voters, according to Dan Lusheck, a spokesman for Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose’s office.

When Stein filed to run for president in Ohio, she listed Anita Rios – the Green Party’s 2014 nominee for Ohio governor – as her running mate. However, Rios’ name was only submitted as a placeholder until the Green Party nominated Butch Ware, a history professor at the University of California at Santa Barbara, for vice president at the party’s national convention on Aug. 17.

When Rios notified the Ohio secretary of state’s office in late August that she was pulling her name from the ballot in favor of Ware, LaRose’s office accepted her withdrawal but refused to add Ware’s name in her place, according to Philena Farley, co-chair of the Ohio Green Party.

The reason LaRose’s office gave for refusing to add Ware’s name is that, under state law, the deadline to replace an independent vice-presidential candidate on the 2024 ballot was Aug. 12, Farley said.

As Stein no longer has a recognized running mate, any votes cast for her are invalid, the Ohio Green Party stated in a post on X.

For the overwhelming majority of morons it boils down to nothing more than inflation. Inflation was bad during Biden, not during Trump. Clearly that’s all due to things Biden and Trump did. 

You guys give WAY WAY too much credit to the general population of this country. There are tens of millions of people in this country that are really fucking stupid. 

Go over to the Springfield thread and watch the interviews with the locals and then imagine every single small town in the country being filled with millions of people like that. 

Those are the people that decided Trump was the best the gop could offer.

We are living in idiocracy.

Same as it ever was.  The left half is more aggressively stupid, though.

Trying to come up with a counter-narrative to Russia's increasingly known interference with our election.  Just like the "Biden crime family" was an attempt to counter-narrate Trump's crimes.

any votes for her were ALREADY invalid, as they just take votes away from the only legit candidate.

I wish Biden would come out and say that. Sorry, I refer you to scotus. I won’t be doing any of that. Fuck off 

SCOTUS: We limit our holdings to the particular facts and legal questions before us... the plaintiff was Trump and the case regarded his misdeeds, so don't stretch it to cover Biden.

Pretty sure this has to do with a Ukrainian ambassador (theirs, not ours) speaking at a Dem/Kamala fundraising event arranging a visit to Pennsylvania without a Republican escort. 
 

They also asked Zelenskyy to recall that ambassador. 
 

Typical bullshit that R’s are going to throw against the wall.

Another anti-business aspect of Trump is his unpredictability. I guarantee business leaders, even those who have vocally supported Trump, hate that they have zero idea what random Trump tweet can hurt their business. And once Trump has made a proclamation he cannot walk back a mistake no matter even if he privately realizes he was wrong.

Yep.  He's a loose cannon with the fuse lit, rolling around on the deck ... and I mean that in respect to everything, not just businesses and the economy.

Asheville currently at the top of our fantasy retirement list.

It's up there for us - I'd prefer New England, but I also have a few dozen former co-workers that I've stayed in touch with, who are in the Raleigh area (Research Triangle) and they pass long job offers every now and then.  Not taking any right now because my wife's retirement is tied to Texas unfortunately, but maybe in a few years the right offer will hit to make it worth our while.

I'm really enjoying that the Party of Reagan has turned into the Party of Supporting the former Communist KGB agent-turned-Russian Dictator in their war against a Democracy.

I love pointing out that to MAGA relatives, because most of them don't have a response.

Right. Today they’re not only having to think about a possible ridiculous tariff, they have to consider that Trump may try to paint them as anti-America even more so than actual foreign brands.

its Trump style. When he senses a possible weakness in someone and it can benefit him, he bullies them. Hence why he always refused to pay his suppliers and contractors who needed the payments. Then it’s time to renegotiate. And if you never need that vendor again, don’t even bother negotiating just never pay.

This John Deere thing is also Trump picking and choosing winners / losers. Almost all of the manufacturering for them and others is done out of country. CAT has maybe one or two foundries here. If Trump blanket raises tariffs - all machine costs will go up. None of them are American made. They are American assembled.

Gotta sleep with one eye open if you are allies with the USA. Friend under one administration then be thought of as an inconvenience in four years and discarded.

Very alarming how many Pro Putin Americans there are right now.
