2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
I did my part here in the Piedmont region and voted for Nikki Haley. Open primary here. No reason to waste my vote in an uncontested Democratic Party primary. If it was a closed primary, I would have registered as a Republican. Your mileage may vary, but something to consider. Make your voice count for something.

Israel
It looks like Egypt is preparing for the inevitable exodus of Palestinians from Gaza. I think it is highly unlikely that Gazans will ever be allowed to return to Gaza if they cross the border into Egypt and out of harm’s way. Israel has given Hamas an ultimatum of releasing all hostages by Ramadan—or else. The “else” is likely to occur regardless of whether the hostages are released. The collective punishment of those in Gaza for the heinous acts of Hamas will reverberate through the region for decades. American interests will not be immune from the rage generated by the Israeli government’s campaign against Gazans. It’s the dismal tide.

This past weekend I learned
Trumpers are nihilists. It’s not that they believe in nothing; they don’t believe in what exists. Their point is they don’t have point. Their cult leader praises their lead-addled brains—so they worship him. They adore “a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” They are the lumpen-proletariat; the dismal tide. They celebrate the end of our fragile republic and welcome an authoritarian state. They shall not pass.

I am sure it is not lost on FSU (and Clemson) they are hitched to a lower tier conference when compared to the SEC and Big 1G. The top 4 this year will be playing in the SEC and Big 1G next year. The power 5 is the power 2 next year. Clemson and FSU need their JP Morgan banker friends to scheme out a way to get them out of the ACC.- Henry Kissinger rest in piss

- 2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?
Terrible job numbers - UE rate up, job participation down, wage inflation anemic, manufacturing and retail only added 1k jobs=bond rally and markets up.- Israel
You are right—they are right wingers and anti-Semitic as fuck. The organizer, Nerdeen Kiswani, is a Hamas apologist. But of course, they must be commies . . .- Israel
Repeated for emphasis. The horseshoe theory of politics is manure for mediocre moderate minds—and, unfortunately, emboldens the far right where antisemitism seethes as a catalyst for irrational hate. The fishhook theory of politics illustrates antisemitic reality more accurately.- Health Insurance fuckery
Example of our broken system. >We have an obesity epidemic in the United States. >Preventive or curative obesity treatment would save Americans trillions in costs associated with obesity. >New drugs that curb overeating are so effective that we now see food-associated enterprises revising revenue numbers to reflect a reduction in US obesity. Our broken system—charge overweight Americans more for the drugs:- the 2023 speaker of the house voting thread of implosion

Right-wing populism depends on the human reptilian brain.- The official 2024 GOP Presidential Candidate Clown Car thread!
Delusional: Oprah pitching a White House run with Romney; Manchin trial balloon as third party candidate; Nancy “let me tell you about my husband trying to raw dog me before this prayer conference” Mace suggesting she is a perfect VP for Trump; Cenk “I was born in Turkey” YoungTurks announcing his pretend candidacy and dumbfuxks this this opens the door for Elon Muskie to become President. This nation has a celebrity hubris epidemic.- Markets still falling like whoa
The Pete Peterson debt cult scaremongering has poisoned any serious conversation regarding public investment in this nation and her people. Household debt ≠ US Govt. debt As rightfully pointed out by bozo cass for decades, there is massive mal-investment by the US Govt. Those who own the legislative process ensure the Spice continues to flow to these poor investments—much of it to bad actors pushing the Pete Peterson narrative. tldr-the call is coming from inside the house.- Markets still falling like whoa
The hike in interest rates has added trillions in interest income—which is making its way through the economy and contributing to job gains. The rate hikes juice the economy. The Money Velocity of the interest income juicing will determine its inflationary impact. - A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
