Agree with everyone above on the timing. It seems to have worked out perfectly. No real convention bounce/bump, the ear thing seems like months ago at this point, and it makes the Vance pick look even dumber. 

Agreed here as well. 
It's way to early to "count chickens before they hatch", of course, but I couldn't be happier with the way things have turned around.  The positive energy and hope is widespread and is building.  Not long at all ago, I had no idea I could feel this hopeful.  Now here we are!

musk is giving trump 45 million a month through the election. he is basically a trump shill. his opinion does not matter to most of us. 

Musk said today he really isn't.  Trolled the Trump campaign I guess.  Maybe it's because TSLA reported earnings today and they are down 10% for today and afterhours. The missed revenue numbers and that's with **$890MM** in regulatory credits they received for the period.  Yes, that's right, Elon the South African who hates all of the takers in this country received almost a billion in regulatory credits.  

i will bet he is totally giving 45 million a month and then denying it. it is not like anybody is going to hold him to his word or anything. 

he has lost a lot of us as customers forever. many will never ever buy a tesla, and many will never use twitter again.

I'll never own a Tesla.  

But to be fair,  I own two V8s. 

Yeah fuck that. I'm in the market for another V8

I know it's terrible, but I love them.  And I love cars.  

I was looking at a new Ford Expedition but no V8s...only V6. That would probably be ok but fuck that. I'll get an F150 with a V8.

Noooooooo!!!!!! Ford trucks use the aluminum beds that take away steelworker jobs from our fellow hardworking northern Indiana union steelworkers.

What a sad address to the nation. Can’t even understand him. Looks defeated and about to cry. You can really tell he didn’t want to drop out. Almost feel sorry for him.

LOL -- for me, a Tesla might as well be a red baseball cap. I bought a plug-in hybrid instead; I'm having a charger installed at my house, and my only requirement for it was "not Tesla." Eff that guy.

I'm absolutely certain that they're just getting started with the misogynistic comments about Harris. The most off-putting thing, to me, is seeing women who engage in that behavior themselves -- you know, "DEI candidate," "she was just handed the job," "has she even done anything?" I think these are the same women who, in 2016, brushed off the "Access Hollywood" tape and stories of sexual assault with "Oh, that's just how men are! Lighten up!" and wore shirts that said "I'd let T---p grab my p---y." I was raised in a time/place where that attitude was prevalent, and I just shudder thinking about what I was told to just "relax!" and laugh off.

Anyway. I'm sad to see Joe step back, but I was reminded again tonight that it's the right thing for him to do.

Yep bowed out gracefully it takes more than a mere man to do that on the world stage!
