  1. Lester Holt tried to fact-check Trump multiple times in his first debate with Hilary. Trump blew through it like shit through a goose.
  2. Didn't you hear Tim Walz's speech on Wednesday night? He's going to be reminding everyone in the campaign to play to the whistle/buzzer. Plus Minnesota sports fans have a long memory of seeing what happens when you take the foot off the gas too soon.
  3. This photo better be in discussion for a Pulitzer.
  4. All of the speakers so far the DNC are advocating for the very thing the protestors are calling for. I haven't had a chance to type out all my thoughts on Walz's speech last night, but after it was over, it took me an hour and a half to calm down enough to go to sleep.
  5. That's the Mankato West fight song. Go fuck 'em up, Coach.
  6. Unfortunately, Bibi has a rock solid majority in the Knesset, so unless his coalition completely collapses, he's the PM until October 2026.
  7. Nancy was leaning hard on Joe, but she absolutely did not anticipate either the timing of the decision or the rapid consolidation of the rank-and-file around Kamala. I think she was envisioning a freewheeling brawl on the floor of the United Center. Turns out the following were the opinions of most Democrats: Willing but unimpressed to slog out a joyless campaign with Joe at the helm The decision to withdraw is Joe's and Joe's alone In the event he withdraws, VP Harris is the only way forward The speed at which the party rallied around Harris is stunning. The replacement process was all over in about 3 hours, and completed with an amount of energy that I haven't seen in the Democratic base since 2008. I didn't think that the Democratic Party was capable of such a thing.
  8. If they actually believed all of this, they would be turning in a straight ticket Democrat ballot.
  9. HIllary is in one of the dark slots on the card, before the networks show up. Let her talk, then get her out of the way. https://www.npr.org/2024/08/19/g-s1-17601/dnc-speakers-list-lineup-monday-biden
  10. Rough start for the Giants SP last night against the Braves. HBP, HBP, K looking, BB, BB, grand slam into McCovey Cove.
  11. Pelosi was able to do what Mitch McConnell was either unable or unwilling to do. She didn't expect the timing, or the rapid consolidation around Kamala Harris.
  12. I don't know if/when Predictit will post their markets for Florida, but if you're looking for underdogs at a price, Democrat to win Florida President and Senate are worth throwing a few bucks on.
  13. The traditional strongholds of Wisconsin Republicans in the Milwaukee suburbs. They are among the few suburban counties that are still hard R post-Dobbs.
  14. Say what you want about the cheese heads, but they've been crawling through glass to vote Democrat since the spring of 2018. Meanwhile, across the St Croix, the top of the GOP ticket will have a deadbeat dad joining the rapist/felon. Good luck!
  15. @THUJONE please pick up the white courtesy phone...
  16. It's Phelps or Biles.
  17. Abortion and weed. Abortion and weed. Abortion and weed. If those ballot initiatives in Florida finish anywhere near the 60% required to pass, that's a huge problem for what's left of the GOP elsewhere on the ballot.
  18. One big reason why these Olympics have been a runaway success this time is joy. The last two Olympics have been behind closed doors, run from a ChiCom gulag with them shoving swabs into noses and hauling off anyone who popped hot for COVID, or with everyone in Japan locked up in their hotels. You have to go back to February 2018 in the mountains of South Korea to find anyone who was visibly enjoying themselves. Looking forward to Los Angeles in 2028.
  19. Did I miss the handover? Usually the concert is at the end.
  20. The instant that Obama finished off Hillary in 2008, every Democrat knew that Hillary was going to be the nominee in 2016, baggage be damned. That 2010 midterm had turned out to be even worse than initially figured.
  21. Oof. The ladies are lucky to be tied at the half. They are playing like shit.
  22. Curry is fucking nails
  23. I forgot this existed.
  24. I realize that the abortion and weed ballot measures are not going to get what they're polling at (both have been polling in the upper 60s). But if they end up anywhere near the 60% threshold for passage, there is a ton of room for growth by both Harris and whoever wins the Senate primary against Rick Scott, and a massive liability for Republicans downballot. For comparison's sake, the Michigan abortion ballot won 56-44 and gutted the GOP at all levels.
