Trump is universally unfit to be President. The tamest reason is policy: his tax and tariff plans will destroy the economy, his border policy will exacerbate the problem, his foreign policy will turn our allies into new enemies and empower our old enemies, his energy policy will tank the price of oil, further destroy the environment, and hinder innovation, and generally his policies will widen the wealth gap and cause increased social issues. But beyond that, his temperament, rhetoric, and character are so far out of line with what is required for an acceptable/effective leader that his policies shouldn’t even be a factor. One look at any meaningful sample of his public statements, interviews, and feedback from the people who know him best shows that he is entirely driven by ego and self-interest and will do literally anything to feed that drive. He talks shit incessantly, about his former friends, colleagues, world leaders, constituents, and political opponents. He lies incessantly, about his accomplishments, about what he knows, and generally will lie about anything if he thinks it will benefit him. He has lied about the integrity of our elections going back to even before 2016; for me personally, this is the most disqualifying thing he’s done. Undermining the people’s faith in democratic elections with lies is the type of shit a dictator does, and the exact opposite of patriotic. He intentionally sows discord. Thats the opposite of leadership. He’s the standard bearer for the party of “family values” who has cheated on all 3 of his wives and committed sexual assault. He’s the standard bearer for the party of “fiscal responsibility” who has a litany of bankruptcies. He’s the standard bearer for the party of “law and order” who is a felon. If you read all that shit and give a wave of the hand and stick to “that’s fake news, and nothing compared to Harris’ DEI and open border agenda”, your brain has been poisoned.48 points

Rise and Shine, time for some hopium. Georgia over night data takeaways: 1. 2.16 million ballots cast (2020 early voting was 2.3 million, with a week to go, we are going to fly past that number). 2. Females have now cast 240k more votes than men. 55.4% to 44.1% 3. Day of election voters from 2020 represent 128k votes or 6% (likely Republican bump, but certainly doesn't explain turnout) 4. 2020 Non voters represent 344k, 18-29 103k, 65+ 75k 5. Fortress Atlanta Update: Clayton County - 48k or 23% Cobb County - 163k or 28% Dekalb County - 157k or 27% Fulton County - 250k or 28% Gwinnett County - 162k or 25% Very strong numbers, the likely bump in Republican early voting is pretty muted in comparison to other turnout, which is pretty much all favorable to Democrats. Yesterday both my wife and I got calls to get people to the polls (first time it's happened for either of us, we thought it'd be more, but we got them there).24 points

Many of you know my story. Lost a daughter to still birth at 8 months about 6 years ago. Well after 6 years of frustration, disappointment, hundreds of thousands of dollars in doctor bills for IUI, IVF, therapy to unfuck myself after the loss of our daughter, this (not so little) little guy came into our worlds 5 weeks early weighing 9 pounds, 9 ounces and 22 inches. Still in the NICU 10 days later because at first his lungs were ready to handle the tank and now he can’t eat just quite enough without the feeding tube. After being hesitant to have children, this is the good stuff. Meet Chet OCUGolf! Thanks for all the support, uplifting words, and prayers over the years. Now I just need to figure out how to take care of this thing!23 points

Some of y'all who are in DFW might know the name Richie Whitt, who has a checkered reputation (mostly bad on The Ticket thread) but I always liked from our shared days at the FWST. Anyway, I'm sharing what he posted to FB today. IMO, it was absolutely perfect.18 points

Imagine you were vetting someone applying for a job at your company. You find out that in the past, he's worked closely with certain people. You pick up the phone and call those people, and say "hey, this Don guy has applied for one of my managerial jobs. You worked with him when he had a senior managerial position. What did you think of him?" And these are not clowns. These are people who worked at a high level. Many of them have a DECADES-LONG track record of high-level performance and genuine dedication to the enterprise (esp. the ones I bolded). And this is what they tell you: Mark Esper — Trump's Secretary of Defense “Trump is not fit for office because he puts himself first and I think anybody running for office should put the country first.” James Mattis — Trump's Secretary of Defense “Trump's use of the Presidency to destroy trust in our election and to poison our respect for fellow citizens has been enabled by pseudo political leaders whose names will live in infamy as profiles in cowardice. Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people - does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us.” John Kelly — Trump's Chief of Staff “Trump is a person that has no idea what America stands for and has no idea what America is all about. He's a person who admires autocrats and murderous dictators. A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law.” Mick Mulvaney — Trump's Chief of Staff “I am working hard to make sure that someone else is the nominee.” Mark Milley — Trump's Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff “Trump is a wannabe dictator. We don't take an oath to an individual. We take an oath to the Constitution, and we take an oath to the idea that is America - and we're willing to die to protect it.” John Bolton — Trump's National Security Advisor “There will be celebrations in the Kremlin if Trump is elected in November. Putin thinks that he is an easy mark. Donald Trump wants Americans to treat him like North Koreans treat Kim Jong Un. Get ready.” Cassidy Hutchinson — Trump's Assistant to Chief of Staff “If Trump is elected president again in 2024, I do fear that it will be the last election where we're voting for democracy because, if he is elected again, I don't think we'll be voting under the same Constitution.” Stephanie Grisham — Chief of Staff to Trump's Wife Melania “I did not vote for Trump in 2020.” Sarah Matthews — Trump's Deputy Press Secretary “Trump has a history of making unhinged comments. He helped incite a deadly insurrection on our nation's Capitol.” Anthony Scaramucci — Trump's Director of Communications “Trump's going to make things rougher for people. He has already said he's going after his adversaries using the Department of Justice. When someone's telling you they're going to flex and be a dictator on day one and go after their adversaries, this is against the 200+ year experiment of America.” Alyssa Farah Griffin — Trump's Director of Strategic Communications “The reason that I cannot in good conscience endorse Donald Trump this year also has to do with the fact that he is walking away. Not just from keeping faith with the constitution on January 6th, but also from a commitment to fiscal responsibility, a commitment to the sanctity of life, a commitment to American leadership in the world.” Bill Barr — Trump's Attorney General “I have made clear that I strongly oppose Trump for the nomination and will not endorse Trump. One of the reasons I'm against Trump as the nominee is I don't think he's going to move the country forward.” HR McMaster — Trump's National Security Advisor “It would be terribly divisive for our country for Trump to run again.” When you call someone's references, and that's the kind of thing they tell you -- not the usual wishy-washy "well....we had some challenges when we worked together....but we made it through" that you USUALLY hear when someone has a negative impression of a candidate -- YOU DO NOT HIRE HIM. YOU WOULD BE A FUCKING MORON TO HIRE HIM.18 points

can we get serious for a minute? y'all can bag on chili's all you want, but there is not a chain within 7 miles of me in any direction, and the closest chili's is 9+ miles away. i know in texas, 9 miles takes 9 minutes, but here that's like an hour. some nights, i would kill half of you for a nice chicken ranch sandwich. they basically invented the buffalo chicken sandwich as far as i'm concerned, and have gotten no real props for that. sorry to get all real with you, but there are more serious issues in the world than the presidential election. as you were.17 points

The response below is a good start. Read it. It's dead-on. But to add on a couple of those points: 1) The 100% no-going-back deal-breaker was January 6th, and the relentless cascade of lies, INTENDED TO DESTABILIZE THE COUNTRY, leading up to it. January 6th was an attempt to overthrow our government. It was urged on, supported, and actually embraced by Trump. He betrayed our country, he stands by that betrayal, and he continues with the same lies, further dividing and destabilizing our country. You are either the president of the entire country, or you are not fit to be the president of any of it. 2) He is a stochastic terrorist. He says horrific things about those who are weaker/smaller/less advantaged than him, intending to and actually inciting violence against them. A slaughter in an El Paso Wal-Mart. A massacre in a Buffalo grocery store. A mass murder in a Pittsburgh synagogue. Horrific slander against Haitians in Springfield. When he calls people with names like mine "murderers and rapists," not only is it false (native-born people commit violent crime TWICE as often as immigrants; that is, you are statistically MUCH safer if you are in a room full of immigrants than you are in a room full of native-born Americans), it incites violence. He knows it. He does it on purpose. He LIKES IT. He is a terrorist, in every sense of the word. 3) His lies are relentless. It's not just "nasty talk." It's psychotic, and pathological. There has never been a figure in American politics anywhere close to the level of liar that he is. We're not talking the "everyone fudges here and there" -- he lies about the most obvious things. 4) He sides with our enemies. All of our allies are aligned against Russia and its horrific invasion of Ukraine. He sides with Russia. 5) He does not actually stand for anyone but himself. You suckers think he stands for your side of the political aisle. No. He does not. He doesn't give a single iota of shit about you. He only cares about power, and trying to fill his internal void with power and approval. He can never fill that void. 6) I have 30 years of experience working with large enterprises. I have seen hundreds of executives in action, and their level of competence covers the waterfront. Some are amazing leaders, the top 5% able to accomplish incredible things deftly and brilliantly. Most are in the middle 90% - good enough, sometimes hitting the mark, sometimes missing it. And then there is the bottom 5%, which is people who are genuinely incompetent, narcissists, idiots, etc. And truly, there is the bottom of that class. The bottom 1%, who are malignant, who come in and make everything about themselves, who lie, who cheat and break deals, and do incredible damage to the enterprise. I know executives, I've seen Trump's type before, multiple times. He is a cancer. BTW, I was livid when Bill Clinton wagged his finger and lied to me. I still hold him in contempt for that. Trump tells more lies in a week than Clinton told his entire presidency. If you thought that Clinton's dishonest character was disqualifying then (and I did), the you cannot think any differently about Trump today. 7) Want proof that he is a cancer? He is a completely failed businessman. He has not succeeded at any legitimate business -- he has only tread water, starting with a fortune, and keeping pretty steady (the return on his investment is less than what it would have been if he'd have just dumped his initial stake into the S&P 500). He is good at one thing: selling himself. He is con-man and a grifter. Again, I've seen more than a few people (almost always men) like him. The only thing remarkable about him is the scale, that he managed to go national with it. 8 ) His bizarre and inconsistent "economic policies" that he has promised this campaign are nothing but 5th grade class president-level promises of "recess all day, no more tests, and free ice cream in the cafetaria." TWENTY THREE Nobel prize winning economists have pointed out that his proposals, if implemented, would be disastrous. And it's obviously so. 9) He is a weak, not very smart man, who allowed himself to be completely manipulated by the worst elements of the Federalist Society to appoint judges who flatly disregard the rule of law (at best) and often do that AND are incompetent (they were selected because of their loyalty and malleability, NOT because they are qualified). As someone whose livelihood is closely tied to the skill and performance of the men and women who wear black robes, I have seen a rapid decline in the quality and ethics of that group. I now have to advise clients things like "I don't know what will happen here, because this judge is just not smart." Or, even worse, "I know what the law is and says, but this judge is going to do whatever the Freedom Eagle Religious Institute amicus brief tells him to do, so buckle up." 10) Decorated men, who took an oath to serve their country, and take that oath very seriously -- think men like Mad Dog Mattis, who (before he came out and spoke the truth about his view of Trump) MAGA ADORED -- have flatly told us that their experiences with Trump informed them that he is an existential threat to the Republic, and he cannot be allowed to take power. As to anything Trump has done that I approved of? Fuck if I know. I'm sure he pardoned at least one person who probably should have been pardoned -- somebody convicted of a drug crime or something.16 points

I'm not going to lie. The shit coming out right now almost indicates that the fourth estate understands the stakes. My main issue is that these idiots are a week late. 10-15% of the people who will vote have already voted. As an eternal optimist I'd like to believe that this shit is timed as well as they can muster. But fuck them for not beating this drum constantly, day in and day out, for years. Seriously. Even if you're a classical liberal (what conservatism used to mean), you know that the nation can easily withstand a Kamala Harris presidency and still move toward your preferred end state. The ultra-nationalism and ethnocentrism (white nationalism) represented by Trump is a direct threat to American ideals. Fuck these pussies for waiting until T minus 12 days to start flooding the national narrative with this shit.14 points

Also it may have been missed last night - The Republican mayor of Waukesha, Wisconsin endorsed Kamala. Kind of a big deal, as Waukesha is in one of the WOW suburbs of Milwaukee that are stubbornly red. Waukesha County went to Trump by 20 points, but Biden did win most of Waukesha, the city. But if he can help push Waukesha a little bluer, that will help Harris a lot14 points

2022: Dems have good leads in pivotal seats through mid-Oct Mid to late Oct, spam polls start pulling the averages right for no reason. Before Election Day, now Oz and Masters are leading and it’s a red wave! Omg, early voting stats looks awful for Dems Election Day: oh, Dems turned out on Election Day. And all the polling was really wrong, it was basically what was the state of the races at the start of October13 points
