The price of eggs was just a small part of it.
If you're not even going to bother to try and figure out why America hates Democrats, I don't know what to tell you other than don't expect to ever win another election again.

With Trump at 76,618,459 and only the small percentage points left to count in the states I listed in the previous post, Harris breaking 74 Million might be our last million vote barrier crossed for either side.
It's still possible that Trump cracks 77 Million, but with the bulk of the remaining uncounted votes being the 4% that California still needs to count, I'm not sure if there is another 381.5k Trump votes left to count.
ETA: Nah... On second thought I'm going to call that Trump gets more than 77 Million when it's all counted up.
That 3% in New York that remains shouldn't be neglected. A lot less votes in NY than in California, but Harris only has a 12 point lead in NY vs the roughly 21 point lead she has in California.
Assuming that Google's map is at least somewhere in the ballpark of accurate, there should be plenty of votes left to get Trump over 77 Million.
Lesson Learned: Don't trust the vague counts out there until everything is counted up. I'm sure that everybody has their own way of counting these things and that's why everyone is always slightly different at any given time. Even this far out from election day.
I probably shouldn't have definitively said that Trump would cross 77 Million.
I'm not going to say that he won't for the same reason I shouldn't have said he would.
There are not a lot of votes left at all. It looks like Maryland may have finally finished counting too, because Google now shows them at 99%.
With California being at 98%, does that mean that there's still 2% to count? Or does 99% mean 100%? About 45 of the states show 99% counted right now.
That's the difference of about 151,000 votes.
If 2% is 2%, Trump gets around 115,000 more votes from California. If it's only 1%, he only gets half of that.
115k would get him to around 76,930,000.
I think at that point, 70,000 popping up from other places could probably happen.
Are there are a lot of variables, or very few variables? What does 99% really mean? Are 2 states actually still counting a small amount of votes, or are 20? Or does 99% mean they're done and the only states remaining are the ones on the above list, now minus Maryland?
It's really close.
But I'm leaning toward him not getting it.
Any 1 Million number is a psychological thing, and I don't think the Democrats are going to allow it to happen. It doesn't matter at all in the real world, but this is just how petty and sad I believe them to be.
Think about how corporations use that same psychology on us every day to make us think things are a lot cheaper than they actually are because they took a single penny off of the price before sales tax. The $799.99 refrigerator sounds a hell of a lot cheaper than the $800.00 one. Gas is $2.77 per gallon, but it's really $2.78 because we still shave off decimals of a penny at the gas station.
Why keep counting in California now outside of D13 and D45?
The historic loss for Kamala is no less historic if she gets another 200k votes under her belt. She's still 700k away from the next million dollar barrier. Hell... I don't think there's a high probability that there are enough votes left to count that would get her over the next much less impactful half-million barrier.
Just wrap it up over the weekend. Make enough counts to keep everything looking legit, but make sure Trump gets at least 50k or so less than 77 Million. Nobody could ever prove that you did it and it's so pathetic that probably nobody would even think to accuse you of purposefully not counting votes you still had left to count 3 weeks after the election.
That way people will go around saying Trump won the election 76 Million to 74 Million, instead

Trump's 'C-level' Cabinet picks spark outrage

Trump's cabinet picks are A-Tier.
What the hell would MSNBC know about it? They're being sold off by Comcast, and Comcast isn't going to let them keep the name MSNBC because they don't want it to be associated with NBC anymore.
Fuck you Ted. Where you been, loser?

I'm not going to bother with updating vote counts tonight. They're just moving so slow it's like they're underwater.
We still don't have a clue where the last two house seats from California are going. Pretty much all of the states from yesterday still have the same percentage of uncounted votes.
Trump is still 175k short of 77 Million. Harris is 183k short of 74.5 Million.
The only notable change today is that Mississippi is only coming up 95% complete when it's been stuck at 98% for weeks, now making it the state with the most percentage of votes still left to count, even though the amount of people that make up 5% of MS is dwarfed by the remaining 2% of California.

Why Kamala lost: A confession
By Kevin Drum | November 24, 2024 – 7:13 am
https://jabberwocking.com/why-kamala-lost-a-confession/
I have a post all teed up about Why Kamala Lost, but I can't quite pull the trigger on publishing it. Here's why:
This is not the Democratic (popular vote) winning margin each year. It's the change from the previous election. For example, Joe Biden won by 4.5% in 2020 and Kamala Harris lost by 1.5% in 2024. That's a change of -6.0%.
The House vote barely changed at all. In 2022 Democrats lost by 2.7%. This year they lost by 3.0%.
These are just not world historical changes, especially in a weird election that featured a global mutiny against incumbents and a JV candidate hastily subbed in three months before Election Day.
In other words, there may not be an awful lot to explain. Maybe Democratic losses were just the result of a routine pendulum swing and the breast beating over causes is overwrought.
I do think there are some lessons for Democrats in this year's election, and I may yet write about them. But at this point I feel like every theory should be treated as highly provisional. Election results bounce around all the time, and this year's bounce wasn't wildly out of the ordinary. Maybe it really was just the price of eggs.

Not that you're going to live long enough to see 2028, Kevin, but you're not helping Democrats win any elections going forward being just as wrong this as you've ever been about everything else.
Let's see what your real feelings on the issue are.

Total votes counted: 151,166,643
Trump's lead: 2,511,325
COMPARED TO THE 2020 ELECTION:
The 2020 results were 74,223,369 for Trump and 81,282,916 votes for Biden*
The total EXACT vote count in 2020 was 155,506,285.
The total amount of votes less in 2024 compared to 2020 is down to only 4,339,642 now.
Trump now has 2,615,615 more votes than he did in 2020.
Harris now has 6,955,257 less votes than Biden* did in 2020.
States with votes left to count (States below 99% according to Google's map)
Mississippi: 5% left
New York: 3% left
Oregon: 3% left
California: 2% left
Utah: 2% left
HOUSE:
We're still at 220 R / 213 D.
CA D13 is a 50/50 tie again with 99% of the votes counted.
D45 now has the Democrat up by .2 with 99% counted. AT 90% the Republican lead by 1.2 points. At 92%, that lead went down to only .2 points. They found a lot of fake ballots at the end to push the Democrat ahead.
As I said a while back, these two are going to get recounts. They should also be investigated by Trump.

I've been saying for well over a week that D13 and D45 in California need to be investigated...
Nancy Pelosi's daughter posts bizarre video saying she was in California district to 'CURE ballots'... as Republican candidate's lead tumbles

Thanks to Jayne for pointing out this article. I hadn't actually read anything about these two districts or even the people who ran on either side. All I've been doing is looking at the numbers, like I did when I gave a more accurate prediction than ANYBODY in the media.
So it looks as though Nancy Pelosi's daughter has been deeply involved in both of those districts over the last week. I do think we should find out what days this happened and where specifically.
I'd like to know where Lil' Pelosi was on the days of Tuesday, November 19th and Wednesday, November 20th. What do you think the odds are that she was hanging out in Coalinga or Huron?
I wonder if this is the same daughter that fucked her mom over by recording Nancy saying that January 6th was her fault and not setting the device she recorded that on on fire immediately.
It wouldn't surprise me. That fuckin' dummy would have been able to just keep doing whatever she's doing and nobody ever would have reported on it if she didn't report on herself.
