Honestly remarkable how Trump not only has softened the GOP’s opinion of Russia, he has them all actively rooting against Ukraine. Purely because he wants to fuck Putin to fuck him.

Fify.

Trying to come up with a counter-narrative to Russia's increasingly known interference with our election.  Just like the "Biden crime family" was an attempt to counter-narrate Trump's crimes.

https://www.cleveland.com/news/2024/09/ohio-will-invalidate-votes-for-2024-presidential-candidate-jill-stein-because-of-vp-swap.html

 

COLUMBUS, Ohio—Ohioans’ votes cast this fall for presidential candidate Jill Stein will not count because the Green Party nominated her running mate after a state administrative deadline, according to party and state officials.

Stein, who filed to run as an independent presidential candidate in Ohio because the Green Party lost state recognition several years ago, will still appear on state ballots, which began to be sent out last week to overseas and military voters, according to Dan Lusheck, a spokesman for Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose’s office.

 

When Stein filed to run for president in Ohio, she listed Anita Rios – the Green Party’s 2014 nominee for Ohio governor – as her running mate. However, Rios’ name was only submitted as a placeholder until the Green Party nominated Butch Ware, a history professor at the University of California at Santa Barbara, for vice president at the party’s national convention on Aug. 17.

When Rios notified the Ohio secretary of state’s office in late August that she was pulling her name from the ballot in favor of Ware, LaRose’s office accepted her withdrawal but refused to add Ware’s name in her place, according to Philena Farley, co-chair of the Ohio Green Party.

The reason LaRose’s office gave for refusing to add Ware’s name is that, under state law, the deadline to replace an independent vice-presidential candidate on the 2024 ballot was Aug. 12, Farley said.

As Stein no longer has a recognized running mate, any votes cast for her are invalid, the Ohio Green Party stated in a post on X.

any votes for her were ALREADY invalid, as they just take votes away from the only legit candidate.

I wish Biden would come out and say that. Sorry, I refer you to scotus. I won’t be doing any of that. Fuck off 

SCOTUS: We limit our holdings to the particular facts and legal questions before us... the plaintiff was Trump and the case regarded his misdeeds, so don't stretch it to cover Biden.

Pretty sure this has to do with a Ukrainian ambassador (theirs, not ours) speaking at a Dem/Kamala fundraising event arranging a visit to Pennsylvania without a Republican escort. 
 

They also asked Zelenskyy to recall that ambassador. 
 

Typical bullshit that R’s are going to throw against the wall.

Another anti-business aspect of Trump is his unpredictability. I guarantee business leaders, even those who have vocally supported Trump, hate that they have zero idea what random Trump tweet can hurt their business. And once Trump has made a proclamation he cannot walk back a mistake no matter even if he privately realizes he was wrong.

Same as it ever was.  The left half is more aggressively stupid, though.

They used to be confined to their village.  Now, they have social media to connect and amplify.

Is knowledge a normal curve, though? On some days, it feels like there is a long tail.

Yep.  He's a loose cannon with the fuse lit, rolling around on the deck ... and I mean that in respect to everything, not just businesses and the economy.

Asheville currently at the top of our fantasy retirement list.

It's up there for us - I'd prefer New England, but I also have a few dozen former co-workers that I've stayed in touch with, who are in the Raleigh area (Research Triangle) and they pass long job offers every now and then.  Not taking any right now because my wife's retirement is tied to Texas unfortunately, but maybe in a few years the right offer will hit to make it worth our while.

I'm really enjoying that the Party of Reagan has turned into the Party of Supporting the former Communist KGB agent-turned-Russian Dictator in their war against a Democracy.

I love pointing out that to MAGA relatives, because most of them don't have a response.

Right. Today they’re not only having to think about a possible ridiculous tariff, they have to consider that Trump may try to paint them as anti-America even more so than actual foreign brands.

its Trump style. When he senses a possible weakness in someone and it can benefit him, he bullies them. Hence why he always refused to pay his suppliers and contractors who needed the payments. Then it’s time to renegotiate. And if you never need that vendor again, don’t even bother negotiating just never pay.

This John Deere thing is also Trump picking and choosing winners / losers. Almost all of the manufacturering for them and others is done out of country. CAT has maybe one or two foundries here. If Trump blanket raises tariffs - all machine costs will go up. None of them are American made. They are American assembled.

Gotta sleep with one eye open if you are allies with the USA. Friend under one administration then be thought of as an inconvenience in four years and discarded.

Very alarming how many Pro Putin Americans there are right now.

Nah, the c suite people all support him because they know he won’t do a god damned thing to hurt their profit margins and will shut down workers who ask for decent wages. It’s all organized, the Republican Party says shit to gullible idiots and gets their vote knowing they’ll never be held accountable for continuing the economic status quo. John Deere might be a little upset that their name was mentioned but they know there ain’t gonna be no fucking tariffs, lol. Trump is just a useful idiot to get votes but even he knows that outsourcing to Mexico increases profits and that’s all his corporate backers care about. The cult buys it because they are fucking morons and they care more about the license to be racist sexist shitheels in public.

A couple of things: 

1. John Deere is an easy target because a couple months ago they publicly caved on their DEI policy amidst conservative pressure.  They demonstrated that they are cowards and Trump knows they won't say jack shit.  

2. Trump is essentially saying he is dissolving USMCA, the NAFTA replacement that was negotiated under his administrations.  It's basically NAFTA with a Trump logo. He can't put tariffs on Mexican products because of the law he spearheaded and signed.

I hear more policy detail in her 30 min interview with Ruhle than Trump has uttered in 8 years. Not to mention she both explained her policies and explained how his won’t work 

"Child care is child care."

The round table on Abby’s show last night kept saying the same thing, granted 4/5 of them were radical republicans.

Oof. Sounds so much like COTA's Bobby Epstein. Investors, vendors, etc ... beware. If you enter into a contract with him, prepare thy anus. Be prepared for him to withhold payment or slow-pay, while simultaneously holding you strictly to every letter of the deal. Don't like it? He just says, 'OK. Sue me. I have lawyers in tall buildings who'll work it out with you in court'. He's fucked so many people, it amazes me that anyone still does any kind of business with the guy.

Between Walz and Gretchen, I think MI is getting locked up. I'm not saying to ignore MI but we need more attention on PA. And definitely keep spending time in Omaha. Crazy how that it could be the tipping point.

I don't think the campaign disagrees.  She was just there yesterday for her economic speech and she's also in AZ Friday and Nevada Sunday.  

Today is a busy day for her doing her VP stuff - some gun violence stuff with Biden today and meeting with Zelenskyy. 

Walz, as we know, is going to be at the Minny-Michigan football game and talking to students about registering to vote. I love putting him on college campuses.

Trump will be at the GA-Bama game. He won't spend time with GA students other than having a few come to his suite. Trump is not the type to walk a campus.
