  1. When it comes to arguing with or setting the average Trump voter straight, it’s not difficult. You only need a few talking points and facts. The economy is the best talking point, and when they counter with inflation, mention how wage growth is outpacing inflation. If they say their wages haven’t grown as much, well then that’s their problem. it’s ok to agree that deciding between two 80 year olds is not anyone’s first choice. When they throw out Biden’s age, always counter that Trump is effectively the same age without Trumps age being your main point. “You’re right that Biden and Trump both misspeak but I’m more interested who performed better with 4 years of their presidency. With that it’s no comparison. But I will give Trump credit that he’s better with social media.”
  2. Sorry to hear about this. One thing to remember is that there isn’t always the perfect solution for the elderly. Many cannot be fully healed. Do the best you can but accept realities.
  3. Of course Kyle is riding the grift train. It’s not like his choice is grift vs starting as an audit associate at EY. he's a high school graduate that was turned away from the military because of his test scores. the world needs ditch diggers too.
  4. Great list and if I can add to the Ukraine point. Some complain that we shouldn’t be sending billions to Ukraine while we have a border crisis. False argument. We can do both if wanted. But also it’s not like we send billions to Ukraine and they buy Chinese military supplies. Those billions are coming right back to American military companies and workers. Ukraine aid is also a stimulus check for workers in 38+ states. and the most important part, not 1 American soldier has died.
  5. Bitcoin mining will drop in April when the payout drops in half as originally planned. Unless the price also doubles, and then everything stays the same.
  6. Another quality politician from SC with plenty of backbone. In 2021, Nancy Mace, GOP Congress member from SC, criticized Trump for his role in Jan 6th. Trump didn’t like that so he endorsed her GOP primary rival in 2022. Nikki Haley was the main supporter of Mace and even traveled with her in Mace’s campaign. Mace won her primary 53-45. Haley may have been the reason. fast forward to today. Mace has done a 180 and is a full on Trumpist and goes on about how Nikki is basically a Chinese agent. https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2024/02/03/nancy-mace-nikki-haley-south-carolina-republicans-nn-vpx.cnn
  7. The story was always a bit shady.
  8. I had to watch that twice. They should stop reading economic news live as is comes in. And for the guy who said this was a good as it gets, I hope he enjoyed his last Fox News appearance.
  9. One Shot made 32nd out of 36 things to do in Dripping Springs on Trip Advisor.
  10. As a wacky as Trump is, he definitely gets his message out to his core followers. Some even run ahead of his crazy statements by coming up with crazier ideas. Very remarkable.
  11. the election was stolen from Trump, leading to his secret, shadow govt that has led to the greatest prosperity for everyone?* * except for anything negative. That's Joe's fault.
  12. 2016 looked like a layup too. Run up the score to guarantee victory. Biden wants to reform border security but the House isn't letting him. Do it anyway. Is the House going to sue Biden for increasing security without full authorization. Biden needs to get border crossings below Trump admin levels and then highlight it. Take away every issue that has even the slightest legitimacy. And ask Americans if they are personally better off today than 4 years ago.
  13. The GOP will be telling voters to not look at their paycheck or brokerage statements. Instead eggs are more expensive than they were in 2017. #1 issue. seriously with the GOP not being able to run on the economy, they will continue to focus on immigration. Be prepared for them to find a young, pretty blonde woman killed by an immigrant with a dark complexion. Her mother and father will be on the GOP convention stage with Trump.
  14. Weisselberg, trump org CFO, in negotiations to plead guilty for perjury in NY. I guess going to jail for 100 days didn’t teach him a lesson the last time. Hopefully he goes away for a longer stretch. everyone around Trump goes to jail except him. Amazing.
  15. I have to guess that there are more than a few attorneys who are passing on top dollar advice to the whistleblowers’ attorney. Outside of Ted Cruz, does anyone have more hatred towards them than Paxton?
  16. There are some that love the Chiefs solely for their refusal to bend to lib'rul demands to change their name.
  17. basically the guy looks Chinese, and perhaps ethnically he is Han Chinese, so Cotton assumes he must be a member of the CCP. FYI, I have issues with TikTok and the uncertainty of the controls within China but this isn't how to manage it from the govt.
  18. I'm uncertain how many football fans are really pissed off about the Taylor Swift/NFL coverage but I do know the Venn chart would overlap completely with the same guys who get pissed off about football safety rules changes or players talking politics. Their opinions ignore players who don't know their own names by 50, or they ignore conservatives players/entertainers who mimic their own political beliefs.
  19. Biden has found ways to forgive billions in student loans. With a B. And even with those he's fighting conservatives because they are taking him to court AND taxing the individuals for receiving a govt benefit. But it's true that he cannot forgive as much as he wants. I do find fault with him that I never hear him go after the real culprit: rising college costs. He might say that we need to make school more affordable but I haven't seen him do anything. I'm sure there is plenty of Biden support in higher education so it's not easy to go after their money.
  20. I'm getting there quickly. Feels like I spend so little time in my car and I can easily find podcasts or music on my phone. I'm committing to cancelling it at the next contract end date in July. At least give myself 6 months to see if I miss them at all.
  21. While I'm skeptical of any poll, I think the following Quinnipiac poll bodes poorly for Trump. Biden has a 50-44 national lead over Trump. But it has Haley over Biden with a 47-42. In other words, some Haley supporters will not just stay home but will actively take Biden over Trump. Of course, the national poll doesn't mean crap at the end except it does show national sentiment which reflects many voters.
  22. depending on the relative size of the purchase, spread it out. If it's 1% of your net worth, buy it all today. If it's 75%, spread it out over 6 months.
  23. Nothing better when the Right brings out their entertainers. “For tonight’s entertainment we have Ted Nugent and Rich Little.” The show starts at 4pm.
  24. Postponed the process for at least one month. I bet the eventually say that he has to give a deposition but the can will continue to be kicked down the road. has there ever been a defendant that can delay his trials like Paxton?
  25. Is Paxton saying that the previous settlement has been decided, or is he will to accept any judgement from the court? It seems like actual collection of any amount is in question.
