2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.

Notice how Trump's upswing directly corresponds to Biden's downswing since June.

I fully expect Trump's to start heading down again post-DNC.

Was about to say, don't we have a child tax CREDIT.  Now I think it is kind of dumb it is at its least valuable when a kid tends to get the most expensive but I get the whole 18, technically adult, no "requirement to go to college" thing so that's a discussion for another thread BUT yea people who have kids do get a tax benefit over an equally positioned person without kids.  What a moron.  

Tax credit and 50% bigger standard deduction to reduce taxable income, and then a tax rate that is lower after credits and deductions (ex: 50k taxable income $614 lower taxes for head of household vs single, and another $123 lower of married filing jointly).

Apparently the Vance fucking a couch thing is real and was in his book prior to 2016. There are some screen shots floating around the TikToks. It would be interesting to see a pre2016 copy.

Putting that in your bio novel is as gratuituous and stupid as Noem putting in the doggocide.

20 minutes from the new Fox News polls, the last ones were:

Trump +1 (49-48) over Biden and hypothetically Trump +1 (49-48) over Harris
Trump +3 in the three-way (44-41-10) with Biden and RFK
Trump 44/56 favorability
Biden 40/60
RFK 42/51

These were the post-debate polls, so will be interesting to see the shift.

Man, if Vance does have to drop out it will be poetic justice for yet another hypocritical shitbag who sold out his principles to grasp power through the snake oil of MAGA. And Junior will look yet again like dumb Fredo we all know him to be. 

It’s really amazing to watch. Several of my colleagues are former law school classmates of JD. Most of them say he was a pretty generic, dweeby but harmless guy at YLS. You never know what’s lurking underneath. 

On the other hand, they’ve all described his wife as “soulless” even back then, so seems like a match made in heaven.

so this captures post assassination attempt and kamala at head of ticket?

Today's will, yes.

And another to throw on the pile -

Commonwealth Foundation (basically PA's version of TPPF) has Harris +1 (and Casey +11)

Again, I call bullshit.  If Casey is +11, there is no way Harris is +1.

Walz: Then we're gonna get some food. Corndog? 

Daughter: I'm vegetarian. 

Walz: Turkey, then. 

Daughter: Turkey's meat. 

Walz: Not in Minnesota, turkey's special. 

 

 

 

in this clip he reminds me of a more sane version of this

Or Cooper

I feel like Cooper has been very very quiet. Compared to the others. Not much a rollout campaign?

“You’re just like that girl who is a little messy and likes to party and maybe says some dumb things sometimes. Who feels herself but maybe also has a breakdown. But kind of like, parties through it, is very honest, very blunt. A little bit volatile. Like, does dumb things. But it’s brat. You’re brat. That’s brat,” she said in the video.

Not a chance it's Whitmer

She took herself out of it a while ago.  And that's fine - she's a co-chair of the campaign and she's awesome.

i have no fucking idea what you're trying to convey.  I'm more confused than I was before. 

Brat is just the name of the new album of pop star Charlie XCX. The pop star tweeted "Kamala IS brat" and then Kamala's team ran with it on social media.

Little confused - I'd say RFK is "third party" and not sure how Trump is not a "charismatic challenger" but Joe needs to get his ass going and get that ceasefire done to flip Key #11

I fucking LOVE That people have figured out how to spot these bots on X/Reddit and figured out how to out them. 

But it had a blue check! Must be legit right????

whoever let Pete lose on tv is a genius and perfect timing.

And this.  This new "okay, we're going to fucking fight back now" Democratic party is something, and I'm here for it.

Well, I mean, I have a lot on my plate, but since she practically called me out by name.....I'll see what I can do.  I'd like to go ahead and request that we stock some cheap beer and pork rinds in the Navy Mess....policymaking is thirsty and hungry work.

CSB; a couple of years after that, my mother was seated at a dinner next to Stockdale.  She said he was sharp and was a great and witty conversationalist.

I admit I don't get it. Sounds like they're describing the embarrassing sloppy drunk freshmen chicks who walk around west campus their first week of school loudly yelling "We get to start over, nobody knows who we are here!" who gets put on academic probation their first semester because they can't handle their liquor. But I guess that's a complement these days, so fuck yeah.

Quote

The presidential race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is essentially tied, according to a new Wall Street Journal poll that shows heightened support for her among nonwhite voters and dramatically increased enthusiasm about the campaign among Democrats.


The former president leads the current vice president 49% to 47% in a two-person matchup, but that is within the margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. Trump held a six-point lead earlier this month over President Biden, before he exited the race and backed Harris.

If you don’t know what the “Apple” dance trend is on TikTok you needn’t concern yourself with it.

Can I call you a perverted, disingenuous cunt instead?

I'd rather do that.

I wouldn’t try to read too much into this. Seems like generic pol-speak that darn near every prez nominee has spit out.
