  1. While they're at it they ought to send him to Texas for Friday night lights.
  2. edit: beat by MagicSoccerSpray, pasted the text from the NYT article, which has more detail than what I originally posted from Politico.
  3. Continued whiplash from the Storm Shadow dialog. FT on why UKR has been requesting use of Storm Shadow (into Ruzzia) for a long while, but others say they won't provide the advantage Zelensky seeks. https://archive.ph/ZTGCk
  4. This week Vance also appeared on a podcast and called this election an extension of the Civil War, and said he was running on the side of the Confederacy. You'd think that might make the news, too.
  5. I'm fixated on the "More Money With Trump" slogan. Seems racist and dumb af.
  6. WaPo has an article about the Harris/Walz digital rapid response team. https://archive.ph/dX2tg In the Tech section, so has the feel of a feature, and not political. It's interesting all the way through. The conclusion gives me the expectation that not only will they find creatives uses on tiktok and insta to drive turnout, they'll be effective in doing so.
  7. The tariff loophole that's helped Temu, Shein and other Chinese companies to flood the US market with cheap Chinese products is on the way to being fixed. A new regulation proposed today in the Federal Register would exclude a wide array of goods from being able to claim the so-called de minimis exemptions to avoiding tariffs, which extends to shipments of less than $800 in value. The proposed regulations would also make claiming duty free status more complex. The article indicates statutory changes are also necessary and that the Biden administration will try to get Congress to amend the law, as well. https://www.ft.com/content/2f07510b-d2c6-4bae-bae3-aa5dfa8bd796
  8. Walz with another great line https://www.mlive.com/politics/2024/09/tim-walz-michigan-visit-touts-kamala-harris-as-brighter-more-hopeful-alternative-to-donald-trump.html Also, to point out the A New Way Forward banner. The transition from Not Going Back, as I hoped for.
  9. Another data point, pointed out to me by a woman, of course: He's not wearing a wedding ring. And you can tell by the hat the image isn't flipped.
  10. The utes. From a BU prof. in the biz school (Boston, not the rapey BU)
  11. This gent was Sec of Education for Pres Obama
  12. I'm gonna have to spoiler this shit. I need eye bleach. Ripped secondhand from twitter.
  13. You probably should take into account his obsession with adding to the population, including spreading his seed around even to employees, before finalizing that community note. He also doesn't know her. But that's not why I'm in this thread. I'm here because Space Karen made the WSJ for a spectacular failure to take out the DA of Travis County with secret donations.
  14. Found the original source. Her own twitter. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-fawns-very-special-laura-loomer-new-video
  15. Is that post still up? I can't find it. Maybe a shop? (Or maybe I'm blocked.)
  16. pre-emptive plea for no hock tuah gifs
  17. Austin-based, well-known journalist. She didn't specify "non-anecdotal info" but if you trust Beto's info you'll like this. edit - this is the article that resulted from the interview https://newrepublic.com/article/185896/taylor-swift-beto-orourke-harris it has an interesting discussion about the TS endorsement and compares it to Beyonce's endorsement of Cruz, which occurred after new voter registration had closed. I'm guessing one of @Js1embeds of Tom Bonier on twitter had similar info as Cruz Beto (oops) mentioned.
  18. Dotard even more confused than usual, says Tim Walz is the Vice President. https://www.threads.net/@aaron.rupar/post/C_1SAqXAFfe
  19. New official ad dropped 2 hours ago - topic: abortion, taken from the debate
  20. Somehow, I didn't notice the debate thread yesterday. #Oops. Apologies if I messed up the election thread.
  21. Not Daniel Figurelli? /s
  22. "How resounding was the win?" sounds like a good question! https://archive.ph/BHDvI#selection-1711.130-1711.176
  23. I dunno why but this song just came to mind. Dearly beloved We are gathered here today To get through this thing called "life" Electric word, life It means forever, and that's a mighty long time But I'm here to tell you there's something else: The afterworld A world of never ending happiness You can always see the sun, day or night So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills You know the one, Dr. Everything'll-Be-All-Right Instead of asking him how much of your time is left Ask him how much of your mind, babe 'Cause in this life Things are much harder than in the afterworld In this life You're on your own And if de-elevator tries to bring you down Go crazy (Punch a higher floor) https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/sep/11/blinken-hints-us-will-lift-restrictions-on-ukraine-using-long-range-arms-in-russia other bits from the article as confirmation
  24. Free download, surely designed to annoy any trumptard who looks at your phone screen. https://store.kamalaharris.com/defeat-donald-trump-phone-wallpapers-digital-download/
