For all his faults, Trump has always had no problems getting plenty of pussy.

When you're not worried about sexual assault, things get a lot easier.

well, it's not up to them. if it was, mcconnell etc would've run him out on a rail the minute his losing starting affecting them, which was years ago.

it's up to the voters who live in a fantasy world. good luck convincing them of any type of abstract thought.

also, whomever is saying "he'll just play kingmaker and tell people who to vote for" it doesn't work like that either. the voters don't ever listen to him and all his picks get wiped out. it has to be him.

y'all seriously need to stop thinking about this like a political party - it's a team sport and the opponent is aggy. does that cheat sheet help at all?

Emphasized so maybe some of y'all will eventually get it.

Stop thinking of the GQP as a political party, and that it will behave as political parties do.  It stopped being a political party long ago.  It's as if your favorite college football team morphed into a military unit, arming itself with rifles, mortars, and tanks, and started simply murdering its opponents instead of playing a football game against them.  Y'all are the idiots typing "so, I wonder what their game plan will be for next season with new players.  Maybe we'll start passing the ball more."  No, you fucksticks, they'll keep doing what they've been doing, and what they've turned into: they will shoot and murder the other team.  The rules of football are entirely irrelevant to the picture.

The rules of political parties are entirely irrelevant to the GQP.  It is a terrorist death cult, and the sooner you realize that is all that it is, that is the ONLY thing it is, and it cannot ever go back to being anything less than that, then the sooner you'll be fully equipped to figure out how we fight back against it (hint: using intelligence sources against it and being prepared to take decisive lethal action when it next launches an attack on the Republic need to be part of your plan).

Actually, Pete is not ENTIRELY right....someone WAS "shutting down the airspace" in certain areas and preventing private helicopters from flying rescue missions.  https://thehill.com/homenews/4913942-pilot-helene-north-carolina-rescue-missions-arrest-threat/

So, a power-mad local official with a badge.....NOT the FAA, NOT FEMA.  Odds that dude votes MAGA?  Close to 100%.  Elmo continues to get everything -- every. single. thing. -- wrong.

Some probably need to be shut down.

All he does is lie.  Truly, I suspect that he tells more lies in a day than truths.

And everyone is just immune to it. Ho hum, just another normal day.

Suspect? I bet there are days, weeks, or months where he doesn't tell a single truth. He probably says he needs to pee when he really needs to shit and that he's hungry for McDonalds when his fat ass is already full.

just caught up with the last few pages and i'm reading that the gop is getting tired of trump, and after he loses next month, he'll be out of the picture by 2028.

lolol.

have y'all learned nothing? if he's drawing oxygen, he will run, and likely win the nomination. must we do this every 4 years?

As others said, I hope he’s the nominee in 2028 whether he wins or loses this year.  2032?  Even better.

Not a disqualifier for him or his chances

This.  A Trump in prison gets 10% or more of the vote, even as a write-in candidate.

Oh....and if that is indeed the case, do you think that maybe, just maybe, Brisket's "Make America Even Greater, for Real This Time" PAC won't organize the shit out of drives to get him on the ballot as a write-in/third party candidate in all 50 states (in the event that he's not the GQP nominee, which has just as likely a chance of happening; for real, this GQP would absolutely nominate an imprisoned Trump for POTUS)?  Because if you think we won't do that (after paying Brisket, through multiple shell corporations behind the PAC, an 8-figure "consulting fee," of course)....you haven't been paying attention.

I was in undergrad 88 to 92, and the state paid a pretty high percentage of the costs of education outside of housing and food. I think the most I ever paid was a semester I took 17 hours and including fees for a lab it was 1300 or so 

When I was in medical school the state was subsidizing quite a bit. Our tuition was under 6k per year. Guys 5 years ahead of me paid 1K per year. 
 

Somewhere we lost our way

In the '70s, it was a big deal if your tuition bill topped $100. If you had a good summer job, you could pay for the year. If you worked oil rigs or something like that, you could live like a god. I returned to graduate in the mid 80s and it was still less than maybe $400? 

My beloved had daughters graduating high school in the first few years of this century. I was dumbfounded and furious when I heard about what had happened to college costs. Guaranteed loans for banks who face no risk. No reason other than decency and an understanding of public university education to keep the colleges from raising fees in tacit collusion.

I'm glad to be a Longhorn, but I can't exactly say that I love the University. Money grubbing cunts.

Yep. My first semester tuition in 1989 was ~$400 for 13 hours. Jester was ~$1300.

I showed up in 97 and it was about $100 per hour. And I was late to apply for housing so no dorms available- efficiency apt up on 28th was like $650 a month.

To continue the firefighting tangent, this article from last December gave me a good chuckle. Essentially, all these conservative firefighters and cops moved to Idaho to get away from Commiefornia, only to find that they (and their bank accounts stuffed with generous goverment pension money) are unwelcome.

 

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-12-21/california-cops-firefighters-flee-california-take-pensions-to-eagle-idaho

I remember one of those CA cops that relocated to Idaho.   Mark fucking Furman.

Dude, I cannot handle this kind of stress every four years. We are one Wall Street crash away from that semi-sentient turd having the keys to the White House, again. I long for the days that having someone like John McCain in the office is my biggest fear.

I love stress.  If you gave me a billion dollars to go sit on a beach I couldn’t do it.  Of course I would choose a massive heart attack for this asshole, if given the choice… But if there’s a fight to be had, bring it.

Same. The stress sucks. I had the daily worry women and LBGQ friends have over this wretched pustule.

I fear that Trump has shown other politicians that there is no consequence for lying, no limit on the outrageousness of those lies or any real need to have Any substantative position on anything. Say one thing to one group and the exact opposite to another group? No consequences.

At a play last night in Lakeway; old ass lady walks up and tells me how handsome I am and that I look like JD Vance and she hopes I share her political viewpoint. (I do not look like him and my wife was like wtf This shit just creeps into everything all the time.  I can't drive to dinner without seeing "no balls in women's sports" and other bs a dozen times.  It fucking sucks.

Because in 2024 America, particularly for the men who dominate many blue collar ranks, it has become more important to hate the "other," defined as "any and all groups smaller and weaker than yours," than it is to support someone who might actually make things better for everyone.

I think this generation of blue collar workers are weird. Whether or not they are in a union, they are mad about not being able to reach the American dream the middle class could access when the unions were at their peak, but many of them take all the basic things the labor movement got them for granted, which are now at risk.

That would defy literally every poll that has been taken to date. They’d all have to have been off by orders of magnitude for them to be able to call it early without the million plus mail in ballots. Even if the pollsters are all herding, that seems…pretty fucking unlikely. 
 

Like I’m about to fuck Sydney Sweeney unlikely. 

You will never be physically intimate with Sydney Sweeney. It is very possible that the election will be called by midnight East coast time on Election Day.

 

1) the direction of polling error has tended to be consistent and 

2) pollsters adjust to error based on previous results. 

A 2% miss in favor of Harris is a Harris Landslide. A 2% miss the other way is a comfortably clear Trump electoral win.  Both are very possible.

people also forget that 2024 isn’t 2020. The nature of turnout will be much more conventionally weighted to in-person voting.

Yep. Mrs. Wood (no [pics) and I retired for far less, combined, and we're doing great. Give me a couple million, and we'll live like royalty.

Knock on wood. (I can just knock on my head when I say that, so I got that goin' for me, which is nice)

My brother in law is a union plumber in CA.  He's made as much 150k a year and oftentimes he gets paid to sleep in his car for hours. Raising four kids on his income and his daughter just started at UCSB. He can't wait to move to TX or FL to flee the liberal policies of CA.  He'd do fine in Austin, but good luck elsewhere.

Locally a lot of blue collar guys are Maga because of media consumption- fox, talk radio, Joe Rogan.  For vast majority it's guns and just being anti PC. Not a lot of thought goes into it. Even Mexicans.
