    These people are deranged lunatics and they're getting awfully nervous it seems. The lies are increasing 10 fold daily. Trump and his supporters are desperate so they think lying even more egregiously will either discourage dems from voting or keep their rabid brain dead supporters foaming at the mouth enough to try another riot to support they're fictional hero who needs their money to stay out of jail.
    There’s going to be violence if POOTWH loses. They’re laying the groundwork for excuses as evidence by the lack of cooperation in vetting and naming those responsible for agencies and departments, including defense and intelligence requiring security clearances, to ensure a smooth transition. What better way to weaken ‘Murica but from within with a chaotic and dysfunctional gubmint?

    Careful what you wish for.
    might as well get the violence overwith now. it's only been brewing since before 1/6. get the shit overwith so when trump loses he goes to jail.
    to clarify, these people are actively trying to overthrow out democracy. that is worth fighting for. you can't reason with a thug or a bully. the only thing they understand is a punch in the mouth. if they try anything, i say retaliate. it might be the only chance we have to save our system of government.

    If only they were Arabian horse traders. Or Trump family members (talk about affirmative action hires!).
    Honestly - would you rather your children turn out like Trump's kids - clean cut Businessmen/women, Lawyers, Student or Biden/Harris - Addicts, trans wanna-be

    It's funny to me that Pearl Jam and their message board would be going all in on the ESTABLISHMENT.  Huh.  Weird.  Neil Young's younger living corpse is turning in its grave...
    This is a joke, right? 
    He fancies himself as a higher level troll. 
    Well I guess he's fancier than one who spends all his time in here. Congrats to that? lol

    We knew the court was going to keep trump on the ballot and that it was a long shot at best. 

    try again, magaman.

    besides, we would rather him lose at the ballot box and then lose everything and then go to jail. it is going to be beautiful.

    Normally they wouldn't go all in on the establishment. You've seen that. But in this case, the establishment means norms, traditions, allies, global safety, actually giving a shit about your fellow human being. Trump is a bull in a china shop and you all claim to want this. He basically says he wants to burn it all to the ground and you all claim he's the one who loves america and the dem's hate it, when they want to preserve it. 

    All he wants is power and more money, and to stay out of jail. It's unbelievable to me that you folks can't see that. I mean, everyone at that level, on some level, wants power. But he NEEDS it, for his narcissistic sociopathic "brain". 
    How much money did Trump make over his 4 years in office before?
    I know I shouldn't bother but sometimes it’s just too easy. 

    ‘An analysis of documents, some of which only became public in recent weeks, shows just how much Trump’s businesses raked in while he was in office. Dig through everything—including property records, ethics disclosures, debt documents and securities filings—and you’ll find about $2.4 billion of revenue from January 2017 to December 2020.’

    The more I read this thread and the closer it gets to the election, that harder it is for me to decide who to vote for.  I try to break it down to the core of what the candidate bring to the plate and see if that helps:

    Kamala Harris:  A imperfect politician who is in favor of Democracy and insists it is a good thing, and is someone, who if elected, would allow further elections to occur, and who is more supportive of the middle class than the ultra wealthy, who wants to brings costs down and increase economic security, and who favors affordable health care.
    Donald J Trump:  A failed businessman who believes in authoritarian rule, patterns himself after dictators of countries whose problems make ours look trivial, who would make himself king for the rest of his life, who is a narcissistic, chronic liar, and who panders to the ultra rich while deceiving his fan base with his fake claims of caring for them and of being a Christian, and who talks them into giving him money they cannot afford.

    I just can't decide.  Oh, the agony!
    It is a tough one.  I have one criteria I like to use, it's pretty simple.  Maybe you can help me because I never hear about their stance on this policy whilst watching Fox News.  

    Does either candidate support a riot at the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power?  As a general rule, I don't support pro-insurrection candidates.  Thanks.  

    Good gauge of who to vote for.  I'd say Kamala Harris is your best pick.  And mine! (Giant "duh", lol!)

    So he made more money from businesses he had before he was President because he was President? And you do understand what revenue means, right?

    He should have ran for President when he owned all his casinos, then they wouldn’t have went bankrupt!

    Even the radical liberals are facepalming at your response. 🤦‍♂️ Be better.

    Does anyone think they should have made Kamala the “Hurricane Czar”?
    Weren't you going to identify the law that created all the worldwide inflation?  The first two your said made no logical sense since one was never passed and the other came after inflation surged. Surely you can't be misinformed yet again....
    Build Back Better morphed into Inflation Increasing Act minus some pork to appease Manchin. Everything they did resulted in inflation. Why did they tell us inflation was going to be transitory? Why did prices never return to where they were? Can you ever admit Biden/Harris made 1 mistake? Is Bidenomics working? Is Kamala still proud of Bidenomics?
    Prices never return to what they were.  That's called deflation and a sign of a shrinking economy and a terrible sign.  Surely you learned that in college, right?

    Second, so again, you are telling us that inflation was zero, but then Biden passed an act and randomly called it the "Inflation Reduction Act" and it caused inflation.  Makes total sense.  If he hadn't called it that, then there wouldn't be inflation either.  

    Is Bidenomics working?  That's just a silly political phrase.  I don't care about that.  Is the economy healthy and inflation at 2%, slightly lower than the fed target? Yes.  Yes it is.  Can one attribute it to the laws passed?  Maybe.  You never know.  Presidents are saddled with the economy whether it's fair or not.  But I'm sure you know that too, from your extensive historical studies of cyclical economics and the political ramifications.

    Donald J Trump:  A failed businessman who believes in authoritarian rule, patterns himself after dictators of countries whose problems make ours look trivial, who would make himself king for the rest of his life, who is a narcissistic, chronic liar, and who panders to the ultra rich while deceiving his fan base with his fake claims of caring for them and of being a Christian, and who talks them into giving him money they cannot afford.

    I just can't decide.  Oh, the agony!
    It is a tough one.  I have one criteria I like to use, it's pretty simple.  Maybe you can help me because I never hear about their stance on this policy whilst watching Fox News.  

    Does either candidate support a riot at the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power?  As a general rule, I don't support pro-insurrection candidates.  Thanks.  

    Good gauge of who to vote for.  I'd say Kamala Harris is your best pick.  And mine! (Giant "duh", lol!)
    Okay, no longer call me "undecided"!  
    can i stop calling you mr moderate?

    oh wait, wrong guy, haha

    I consider myself moderate.  A lot of you guys here are probably to the left of economically.  But the party is pretty much pro-ish business, center left.  So I'm good with that.  Better than ridiculous tariffs, exiting trade deals and handing them to the Chinese and pro-Russian garbage.  More importantly, I think that isolationism, tariffs and economic prosperity that isn't shared multi-nationally is a recipe for war.  We've had 75 years of intercontinental peace, probably the first time in 600 years for that, and I think we owe it to integrated economies.

    Does anyone think they should have made Kamala the “Hurricane Czar”?
    Weren't you going to identify the law that created all the worldwide inflation?  The first two your said made no logical sense since one was never passed and the other came after inflation surged. Surely you can't be misinformed yet again....
    Build Back Better morphed into Inflation Increasing Act minus some pork to appease Manchin. Everything they did resulted in inflation. Why did they tell us inflation was going to be transitory? Why did prices never return to where they were? Can you ever admit Biden/Harris made 1 mistake? Is Bidenomics working? Is Kamala still proud of Bidenomics?
    Prices never return to what they were.  That's called deflation and a sign of a shrinking economy and a terrible sign.  Surely you learned that in college, right?

    Second, so again, you are telling us that inflation was zero, but then Biden passed an act and randomly called it the "Inflation Reduction Act" and it caused inflation.  Makes total sense.  If he hadn't called it that, then there wouldn't be inflation either.  

    Is Bidenomics working?  That's just a silly political phrase.  I don't care about that.  Is the economy healthy and inflation at 2%, slightly lower than the fed target? Yes.  Yes it is.  Can one attribute it to the laws passed?  Maybe.  You never know.  Presidents are saddled with the economy whether it's fair or not.  But I'm sure you know that too, from your extensive historical studies of cyclical economics and the political ramifications.  
    So the administration effectively lied to us when they said inflation was transitory? Is it possible for the first time ever in AMT history a radical liberal could admit their fearless leader might have lied and made an actual mistake. Nah… never could just pivot to it was Jan 6 fault.

    A fresh batch of close polls released Oct. 10 has Democrats worried and sent Vice President Kamala Harris’s odds of victory sliding to their lowest point yet in prediction markets for the Electoral College. Those polls — most notably from Emerson College, Marist College and The New York Times, three of the most prolific pollsters in America — show Harris and former President Donald Trump tied in the northern battlegrounds and Harris trailing heavily in Florida. But our forecast came to a different conclusion: Currently, our model gives Harris a 55 out of 100 chance of winning the majority of Electoral College votes, up from the brink of 50-50 on the evening of Oct. 9.

    The difference boils down to one thing: trends, not levels. If you compare Harris’s margin over Trump in polls released Oct. 10 to the results of previous polls by the same pollsters in the same places, Harris’s margin has increased by an average of 0.4 percentage points. And according to our election model, which looks at differences in results among all pollsters to identify whether a firm leans to the left or the right, the polls from Emerson in particular have tended to underestimate Harris compared to polls with the same methodology (a mix of robocalls and online interviews) in the same geographies. This means our starting point when looking at these new polls is that Harris is doing better than they indicate, by about a point on vote margin, and that she is either holding steady or gaining ground.

    But The New York Times/Siena College poll in Florida should worry Democrats. It single-handedly moved the 538 poll average in the state from Trump+4 to Trump +5, and could indicate broader weakness of pollsters to sample Republican voters properly. However, The Times’s surveys in Texas and Montana came in right on target with our forecast, prompting our model to think the race is more of the same than worth a dramatic shift in estimates. So this is a good place to remind you: More of the same in forecasting today is still forecasting a toss-up race.

    For those “free thinkers” out there, whoever and wherever you may be. From Letter From An American:

    The Atlantic nodded to the free thought on which the magazine was founded in 1857 when it came out strongly for Harris today. It is endorsing Harris, it said, because she “respects the law and the Constitution. She believes in the freedom, equality, and dignity of all Americans. She’s untainted by corruption, let alone a felony record or a history of sexual assault. She doesn’t embarrass her compatriots with her language and behavior, or pit them against one another. She doesn’t curry favor with dictators. She won’t abuse the power of the highest office in order to keep it. She believes in democracy. These, and not any specific policy positions, are the reasons The Atlantic is endorsing her.”

    Love the afterthought.

    Trump has previously said he had hoped to hold a rally at Madison Square Garden, home to sports teams such as the New York Knicks and the Rangers, and the most prestigious rock venue in the country.

    “We’re going to be doing a rally at Madison Square Garden, we believe,” Trump said in April. “We think we’re signing Madison Square Garden to do. We’re going to have a big rally honoring the police, and honoring the firemen, and everybody. Honoring a lot of people, including teachers by the way.”

    Only (I think it is) the fourth time The Atlantic has endorsed someone for president.   This was a great time to do that, I hope it helps!

    That is so thoughtful of him to include the teachers, since one of his and his followers desires is to eliminate the Department of Education. My wife is a special education teacher and removing Federal oversight of SE and other areas will cause unthinkable damage to some children's education. It is already difficult to make some States and school boards follow basic and fair guidelines for SE students. Once the different State education boards don't have to follow the guidelines put in place, it will become a sh*t show of State to State inconsistencies. The State you live in already affects the quality of the education your child gets, with no Federal guidelines in place, it will exasperate it greatly.

    It's concerning how little people appreciate this issue.

    Vilifying academia and undervaluing education don't typically bode well for societies.
