Jordan isn't tying any of his money to any of this, to include his brand.  No one way he jumps in.  It's gonna be another feckless clown a la Mike Johnson they prop up to do it, if they do at all.  

I was only joining about Jordan running in NC. First he’s notoriously apolitical and I’m sure he has zero desire to be governor of nc. I will work on my words to be more obvious about my intent.

So jealous. Early voting opens in 30 days for Texas! 

Kamala is in Atlanta for an abortion rights rally in Atlanta, GA this afternoon (2pm) and then an evening rally in Madison, WI (6:30pm)
Nothing on the schedule for Trump and Vance - Trump has an NC rally tomorrow and Vance is doing some local stops in PA tomorrow
Walz has nothing on the schedule for today - he has a rally in Allentown, PA tomorrow

Needs to be a larger story. Fuck rfk right now

Just an FYI on how this works - apparently the governor needs the state legislature (Nebraska is unicameral) to approve a special session and they'd have to do this by the end of September.

There are a couple of Republican senators that represent Omaha and they're the holdouts. Voting to essentially disenfranchise their constituents would be a political death sentence so it's a pretty hard sell to get these guys to switch.

McDonnell is still a no.  

Quote

"Winner take all is a passionate issue for all Nebraskans. Sen. McDonnell has heard compelling arguments from both sides, and as of today, remains a 'no,'" a spokesperson said Thursday after attempts to contact the senator.

McDonnell was a registered Democrat, but switched to Republican in April after getting shit for voting for anti-abortion and anti-trans legislation.  So, socially conservative, but doesn't have heavy ties to the GOP.  Nebraska's Unicameral is nominally non-partisan and committee assignments are by secret ballots, which does diminish the party pressure.  But, I could see Ricketts offering him campaign funding for a higher office.

I'm a few in the bag, but I think I meant that unless he's the trustee (assuming irrevocable, which isn't the argument on display), what's he doing there.  I may be being dense, I thought about this for about a minute on my way out of the office for a day off tomorrow.

I did a quick look.  Nevada law permits modification of an irrevocable trust if trustees and beneficiaries all agree.  That, apparently, is unusual. 

The general rule for judicial modification of an irrevocable trust seems to be that the trust fails of its essential purpose at the time of creation, for some reason, tempered by consideration of the beneficiaries.  So, if a proposed change discriminates against a beneficiary or alters the original arrangement with respect to a beneficiary, then it won't be granted.

Collectively, it still seems "tied" for the moment.  By that, I mean that Harris hasn't conclusively broken out beyond the margin of error.  She likely is trending in the right direction, but we need a bit more time to see if she can establish a lead outside the margin of error.  

Like we're winning a football game by 2 points with 6 minutes left.  Gotta play offense and defense.  If you play it right you win by 9 and it looks good.

I've heard some judges like RVs and all inclusive trips to foreign resorts.

Sorry to interrupt the schadenfreude for a moment but an update on East Texas pulp muncher's head space:

My 11 y.o. son told me after soccer practice the other night that "Colt" offered up out of the blue - If Kamala (mispronounced of course) wins the election that him and his family are moving to Canada.

I asked how he responded to that and he said he just ignored it. I told him next time tell him they better start packing their shit.

so move to a country more woke and with higher taxes?

"You should ask your parents why we're moving to Socialist Canada, Colt."

Maine needs to write it in their laws right now that they will switch to winner takes all the minute Nebraska does, Like how the state compact only goes into effect if the 270 is reached nationally.

They can't.

Laws in Maine do not take effect until 90 days after the session ends.  Nebraska timed this on purpose

Exactly.  The Royal We’s son should say, “Hey Colt. Does your dumbass dad know Canada is more liberal and progressive than ‘Murica with higher taxes? Do your research!”

Robinson using the Eddie Murphy “wasn’t me” defense is hilarious.

“But that’s the same username you used elsewhere, and your email was attached to it, and the language was identical to your Facebook posts, and…..”
“Wasn’t me.”

Continuing the Eddie Murphy line, it’s like the old SNL Buckwheat assassination sketches, where they asked people about the shooter and they would respond with “oh he was such a polite and nice young man” and when asked if they think he did it, the response was “oh yes, that’s all he ever talked about was shooting Buckwheat.”

If it was one or two random adult sites, and no comments, sure, maybe somebody was fucking with him (we’ve all pranked people by signing them up on those sites, and even though we couldn’t do the email confirmation it had to be amusing for the people we were pranking).  But wow, this guy was getting off more on posting about stuff than any porn he looked at.  And throw in the porn stores he frequented and the booths he decorated with his seed.

FAU (National)

Harris 50, Trump 45 (+5)

Previous was Harris 49, Trump 45

Who will win?

54-46 say Harris - 91% of Dems say Harris, 86% of GOP say Trump and independents think Harris will win 56-44

45 seems like his ceiling, nationally. Possibly also his floor (I was hoping it would be closer to 40) but some of that is probably just a mix of people who hate Biden and transfer that hate to Kamala and people who hate black candidates but aren't necessarily in love with Trump.

I've got to tell you, between this and telling a kid that you fucked his mother, I question if your particular flavor of sense of humor is what one might consider to be Mainstream.

Honestly did not know she had children 

That's going to be a narrative, I'm sure. "First she claimed to be black, and now she's claiming children that aren't hers either!"

The guy apparently chooses atom heart mother as his floyd album. He is out of the mainstream.

I mean, at least he didn't roll with Ummagumma. Although I can certanily see him making an impassioned speech that Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In a Cave and Grooving With a Pict is both his favorite song, as well as his favorite fetish.

Now that I’m old, High Hopes is my favorite song.  I drive other fans crazy with that one.

High hopes is a great song.  I mean the verse lyrics are a little try hard but the music and the chorus are outstanding.
