Unless repubs are completely out of their minds.

Always the caveat.

If Vance succeeds him - “How out of their minds are the Republicans to simply replace Trump with Vance? This is simply a continuation of Trumpism.”

You guys got it all figured out.

Nationwide issue with Dominion voting machines.

From the article:

Benson stresses that this is a nationwide issue and is not only affecting Michigan.

“Yeah, this is a nationwide issue with Dominion voter access terminals in, in the counties that use them in the voter access terminals,” says Benson. “Of course, not all the machines, just the ones that are accessible, have an issue. With the straight-party voting and a programming issue, that’s again affected the machines nationwide.”

Benson addresses Dominion ballot machine programming issue in Michigan

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — Split-ticket voters using a Dominion ICX Voter Assist Terminal (VAT) on Election Day should be prepared for straight-ticket/split-ticket programming issues when marking their ballot, according to Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson. A VAT is a special type of...

3 or so weeks ago my personal assessment of data was that Harris would win. From then until a day or so ago, it looked like a Trump win. Current conditions point to a complete toss-up for me now. The worst news of that is it means it will be days (weeks?) before we know the results and everyone will lose their minds

Translation: yeah, I can't make sense of it either. But it was awesome because Trump was even extra orange.

All of politics and election campaigning every single cycle on both sides can be summed up with the message “I care about you, the other candidate doesn’t”. Trump riding in the garbage truck was a clever and unique way to convey that message and that he gets those who support him. It also came with the added bonus of reminding the disdain the other side has for them. It was brilliant.

See how easy I did that?

It's for the greater good, you should be happy to pay your fair share. Think about it, there are hungry people still south of the border they'll need that money when they get here. Don't be heartless.

Looking at trust worthy polling the last few days, seems Trump has this well in hand. It would take 2020 shenanigans on steroids at this point, for him to lose...but I wouldnt discount that.

This article actually says 2.8%

U.S. economy grew at a 2.8% pace in the third quarter, less than expected​


The U.S. economy posted another solid though slightly disappointing period of growth in the third quarter, propelled higher by strong consumer spending that has defied expectations for a slowdown.

However, resilient consumer spending, which accounts for about two-thirds of all activity, has helped keep the economy moving, as has a relentless wave of government spending that pushed the budget deficit to more than $1.8 trillion in fiscal 2024.

Personal consumption expenditures, the proxy for consumer activity, increased 3.7% for the quarter, the strongest performance since Q1 of 2023, contributing nearly 2.5 percentage points to the total.

Another major factor the department cited for growth was federal government spending, which exploded higher by 9.7%, pushed by a 14.9% surge in defense outlays. Fiscal spending at the federal level contributed 0.6 percentage point to the GDP growth rate.




How are consumers doing it? Well...this article is almost 3 months old but shows a bad trend in personal responsibility.

Average consumer now carries $6,329 in credit card debt. 'People are stretched,' expert says​


  • Collectively, Americans owe $1.14 trillion on their credit cards, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York reported Tuesday.
  • The average credit card balance is now $6,329, a new report by TransUnion found.
  • As consumers lean on credit cards, more borrowers are also falling behind on their payments, both reports show.
