  1. When people talk about a dark jedi/illuminati pulling all the strings in this country, Nancy Pelosi is likely as close as you will get.
  2. Fun Fact: Every GOP President since the end of WW2 has had a recession start on their watch. Every. Single. One. Only Truman and Carter had recessions begin during their terms. Eisenhower had 3!
  3. Yo. "Real Americans" don't take industrial butcher jobs. Last 50 years of corporate agriculture and race to the bottom, unregulated late stage Capitalism out front shoulda told ya.
  4. This is part of the reason why Democrat fortunes have revived in Michigan and Wisconsin: Conservative Snowbirds retiring to FL. Unfortunately it's happening in NC as well.
  5. Este. Do not repeat the mistakes of the 2016 Clinton Campaign. I remember going up to knock doors in PA in late October and the local coordinated campaigns were like "We've been screaming for resources for months while they open another office in NC"
  6. David Plotz has a vibe based theory that the campaign that is having more fun is winning the election, and that pretty much tracks in my experience. My personal feeling is the, possibly with the exception of 2016, the side that spends its time in the cross tabs attempting to unskew the polls is probably losing the election. We've seen that flip in the last 6 weeks.
  7. Look, as somebody who just spent two wonderful weeks in Europe, and is as prone to anyone to criticizing my country: I love America. I don't know who here wrote it a week or two ago: we often fail to live up to the American Dream, and yet we keep on striving and hoping and achieving. Every time I come home from international travel, I feel like my American heart grows a little more with pride and wonder. This country fucks.
  8. I suspect that's what John Robert's keeps telling the hard conservative 3: At somepoint, a Democratic president is going to tell the court "You enforce your decision, because I won't"
  9. The new Congress is sworn in on January 3. So if the Dems win control and their is a contested election, then in theory Jefferies would become acting president. But the Presidential Succession Act is a hot mess constitutionally, so the Supreme Court could rule both the Speaker and President Pro Tempore ineligible and it would fall to.....Anthony Blinken, if he had not resigned as Secretary of State, since cabinet officials don't technically lose their job at noon on inauguration, but rather by tradition resign (in lieu of being fired).
  10. It is if you are talking about Washington, DC. When you come in to DCA from the North, you fly over some of the wealthiest enclaves in America.
  11. It's super common for Officers. I had an in law who had to spend a miserable year in the Pentagon to get in his time as a Navy O-5 for retirement purposes. He hated living in DC away from the water, but as he described it "it's this bullshit everyone has to do to retire at a higher pay grade." He wanted to leave after his last shipboard command. I think he basically was fetching coffee and pulling chairs for Admirals. It's a paperwork thing.
  12. Even though this has been asked an answered multiple times: Walz achieved the rank of Command Sergeant Major prior to retirement, however he didn't complete some associated course and paper work prior to retirement, so he technically retired as a Sergeant Major. His bio described him as "Command Sergeant Major" which is correct, however at some point it also referenced him as a retired Command Sargent Major, which is wrong. It's been updated. The rest of the attacks are Swift Boat bullshit from JD Vance (who was a press specialist in Iraq for 6 months, i.e. Private Joker) that he retired prior to his unit deploying, even though his unit hadn't received orders and his Unit Commander signed off on the retirement and didn't have to. If this is something that is going to make you not vote for Harris, you never were.
  13. Are you guys getting your Soros money? I haven’t seen a check in weeks!
  14. Not only did the primary, but Organizing for America became the defacto DNC and Obama basically let the actual DNC rot under Debbie Wasserman Schultz. The party is still recovering from the malfeasance.
  15. I mean, let’s be frank, it’s pretty impressive.
  16. Laura Bush killed someone with a car.
  17. This is quite the 80s/90s basketball deep cut.
  18. Reminds me of my grandfather, who grew up poor as fuck in central Texas, and had to hunt for food. He always said the only guns a man needs are a .30-06 and a 20 gauge. He eventually became a .270 guy, but he maintained his convention that owning more than a couple of guns made you weird AF.
  19. I don’t want to force field this thing, but the DC area is in a drought and could use the rain.
  20. Don’t football my cloakroom!!!
