Hey, SECOND, now you get to see how impotent board- splattering is. Your go- to tactic for the past dozen years in this "war" you've been waging against America? Doesn't work.
Try evidence, logic, and honesty instead.

Kamala Harris for President of the United States | Endorsement
By The Houston Chronicle Editorial Board
Oct 25, 2024

arris-presidential-endorsement-2024-19829891.php
Clawing out of the mud-caked aftermath of a deadly hurricane should be a solemn moment, even in this divided America. Scenes from Helene’s wrath in North Carolina — sedans flung like toy cars, living room couches marinated in floodwaters, towns reduced to war zone rubble — touch a nerve with Houstonians who lived through Harvey and other devastating storms.
These disasters take so much from us, but the aftermath brings hope. On a trip to North Carolina and Georgia, Vice President Kamala Harris worked a hot meal line and remarked at another point: “I think that in these moments of hardship, one of the beauties about who we are as a country is — is people really rally together and show the best of who they are in moments of crisis.”
In Houston, too, neighbors we’ve never met pull up with chainsaws and muck-and-gut gear, Cajun Navy volunteers deploy boats for rooftop rescues. Government makes itself useful, too, and leaders prioritize concern, clear communication and aid to those in need, above everything — including political stumping and tribalism.
Nearly all political leaders — regardless of party, geography or faith tradition — honor this ritual.
Not Donald Trump.
His visit to Helene-devastated areas was a vehicle to spread lies, inflame and divide. His claims that the Biden administration isn’t helping victims because they’re Republican or that FEMA has run out of money — “It’s all gone. They’ve spent it on illegal migrants.” — are baseless. They’ve been refuted by Republican officials and yet, they’re still stirring fear, anger and distrust that have led to threats against FEMA workers and confusion among vulnerable people about whether help is available and whether it can be trusted.
This is how Trump leads. He doesn’t. Even in a desperate hour of need, he exploits. Even from people who have lost everything, he takes.
It’s just one in a sea of examples showing why we believe Trump is unfit for a second term in the White House, and why this editorial board endorses Kamala Harris for president of the United States.
Many who are firmly in Trump’s camp won’t be swayed, we know. Some are fatigued by dire warnings about his threat to democracy. They’re less concerned in this election with abstract notions of patriotism than with how to pay the rent in a vulturous housing market or how to feed the kids when inflation has eaten the grocery budget. We understand Trump’s star power, the kernel of truth in some of his outrageous diatribes and the sense of community he's built among Americans who feel their grievances have never been adequately addressed.
But we ask those with a shred of doubt to open your minds to inconvenient truths. We ask you to resist the temptation to dismiss the former president as some kind of redeemable shock jock — erratic, entertaining but not really dangerous.
And understand this: A man who will exploit a deadly hurricane will exploit you. A man with six bankruptcies and millions owed that he may not have the cash to pay is trying to win the White House in part to stay out of the poor house

It should never have come to this.
Kamala is an obviously flawed meat puppet. She is so inauthentic that the newspapers realize they can't sell that ho.
Joe, who has been supposedly heading the USA for four years, proved to be a senile meat puppet suffering from Parkinson's.
What was the deep state thinking? Did they really think they could continue this charade for another four years?
Why couldn't they stand up a candidate with at least a shred of credibility?
Meanwhile, the only other choice we have is yet another obviously flawed candidate, Trump, whose biggest selling point is that the deep state is against him. Plus, he has a crap ton of money.
I thought the idea of running more than one candidate was that we would get BETTER candidates, not the bottom of the barrel.
Just goes to show the corrupting influence of money. No amount of donation limitations will fix that. Candidates use the money to buy ads. So the only thing that will level the playing field somewhat would be requiring free TV and radio time for candidates to explain their views.
The other thing helping is that Musk freed Twitter and turned it into X. Without that wedge, the "establishment media" would have a lock on our information spaces and we would be as much in the dark as before.

You never have been of positive value. You and Trump are absurdly negative, Signym. There is not any Trumptards worth a shit, you and 6ix included. But dream on that Trump will redeem your worthless existence while in the White House.
Once again flailing away at a figment of your imagination.
Dood, try the real world once in a while. It might be better for your blood pressure.

Quote:Millions voted for Trump in the primary. There were dozens of alternatives, but Trump was who they wanted, not somebody who wasn't a criminal, wasn't a racist, wasn't a Hitler fan, wasn't promising revenge on their enemies. Particularly appealing to primary voters is Trump wasn't paying his income taxes. Check Trump's tax returns. There are not any recent ones made available to public.

Multi-billionaire fears Trump will take away his money if he endorses Harris for President:
Jeff Bezos killed Washington Post endorsement of Kamala Harris, paper reports
Published Fri, Oct 25 2024 1:44 PM EDT
The Washington Post said it will not endorse a candidate in the presidential election for the first time in decades.
The newspaper ran an article by two staff reporters saying that editorial page staffers had drafted an endorsement of Kamala Harris over Donald Trump in the election.
“The decision not to publish was made by The Post’s owner — Amazon founder Jeff Bezos,” The Post reported.
In a 2019 lawsuit, Amazon claimed it lost a $10 billion Pentagon cloud computing contract to Microsoft because Trump used “improper pressure ... “to harm his perceived political enemy” Bezos.
In all election years but for 1988 Bezos' newspaper had endorsed Democrats.

I'm going to laugh if Bezos comes out with a fact check and says "Nah. She just dumb."

Looks like there will be two Senate pickups for the GOP and for the first time since August 6th the generic ballot for the House is in favor of Republicans by +0.5.
Harris slipped to a +0.1 lead in the national popular vote polling today, which means if you factored in the 2020 polling bias Trump wins the popular vote by +3.7 points.
Trump has lead Harris all week in every battleground state. When you factor in the 2020 polling biases, he wins every battleground state with anywhere between +2.7 to +7.5 of the vote in those states.

If you guys told your readers/viewers the truth instead of lying to them everyday, they would know that nothing is slipping away from anyone. Harris was destined to lose the moment they picked her. Some of us knew that from the beginning.

"Dangerous Times" - LATimes Editor Quits After Owner Strikes Down Kamala Endorsement
The editorial editor for the Los Angeles Times quit in protest after the newspaper’s owner blocked a decision to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris.
“I am resigning because I want to make it clear that I am not OK with us being silent,” Mariel Garza told the Columbia Journalism Review.
“In dangerous times, honest people need to stand up. This is how I’m standing up.”
Garza’s resignation followed the news this week that Patrick Soon-Shiong, the billionaire doctor who purchased the Los Angeles Times in 2018 for $500 million, shot down the Times editorial board’s attempt to endorse Harris.
This will be the first election cycle since 2004 in which the Times has not endorsed a candidate.
In a social media post, Soon-Shiong explained he offered the editorial board the chance to “draft a factual analysis of all the POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE policies by EACH candidate during their tenures at the White House, and how these policies affected the nation.”
“With this clear and non-partisan information side-by-side, our readers could decide who would be worthy of being President for the next four years,” he wrote.
“Instead of adopting this path as suggested, the Editorial Board chose to remain silent and I accepted their decision.”

I guess providing an analysis of the positives and negatives of BOTH candidates was just too much honesty for Garza.

LOL... yeah. My old man told me about the LA Times thing this morning.
These people are watching the end of the world they thought they were living in come crashing down around them. That's been happening ever since the DEI departments started getting gutted early last year and the massive tech and "journalism" layoffs that followed several months afterward after the interest rates were raised and all of that free money dried up.
Good luck to Garza in this job market. With Starbucks laying off thousands of employees this year, he might not even be able to work at his go-to backup job when he can't find anything requiring his specific skillset after rage quitting today.

I thought that I should note that I missed the period in time earlier today that the national Popular Vote aggregate at RCP was a Tie. By the time I'd gotten to it, it had already shifted up to +0.1 for Harris, which was still a drop from yesterday.
If you go into this election anything close to a tie, you lose. Bigly.
Unless Harris can rise AT LEAST back to her all-time high of +2.2 by November 4th, this election is over. Even if she magically pulls that off, I'd only give her a 10% chance of winning. We don't get to coinflip territory until she's leading by roughly +4.2
