I wish they had used equity instead of socialism. That would avoid the petty red herring over the precise definition of socialism.

Looks like the threat is now inland rain and flooding (and tornado warnings). Listening to the NC governor now; western NC is dealing with water levels they've never seen. Looks like Atlanta proper may have lucked out as the eye went just east of it, so they didn't take the brunt. But I'll let @peeniereport on the scene.

Didn't a Georgia judge recently rule that they need to hand count every ballot? If so, that won't help them finish on election day. Vance is going to curb stomp Coach Grampa Weirdo Walz in the debate, who will try to aw shucks his way through a debate with a Yale law school grad.

The Ukrainian president being flown on taxpayer money to PA to pimp for Harris? That's not election interference, and it's a perfectly acceptable use of tax dollars. Only Russian bots for Trump are election interference. Democracy! Save it!

No taxes?

Wow, that's great! I did not think she was of adult age to do that... is she going to college as well?

If anyone is watching Weather Channel, they have a quad box with video in different locations. I don't know where Cedar Key, FL is, but it is in the top left of the screen and in the past hour the storm surge has gotten really bad.

I remember that, it's super cool. Thanks for posting. Glad you are OK.

I'm trying to think of who lives there. @Voltaireis in the panhandle but I think (hope) he is on the west (good) side of this. @peenieis in Atlanta which, while inland a bit, is supposed to get a ton of rain and wind. @Bill E.is in Georgia but looks east of the really bad stuff. @iam90sbabyis Orlando area I think, looks OK. @GobbleDog?

More of a love-fest. Ruhle is asking leading questions about the future, and questions about why Trump sucks. Nothing about Harris/Biden's past. How brave of Kamala!

Ruhle spent most of the interview nodding with a smile, as if to say, "that's my Kamala, running with that Trump softball just like we rehearsed. :hugs:".

That's what ballot harvesting is for.

I find it hard to believe that Pennsylvania, which was so close last time it needed 110% votes for Biden in certain Philly wards, is going to go for Harris, given the real threat to fracking that she represents.

I was born and raised in Wilkes-Barre. The city I grew up in was heavily union blue-dog democrat -- hard-working, blue-collar, family values. Those people, transported to today, would overwhelmingly vote for Trump. I was just back there this past spring for the first time in, oof, a decade? Downtown was quite depressing. Anyway, I'd still say the old guard there will be overwhelmingly Trump, but I can't speak for the newer generation. Zoomers suck everywhere.

Tim: Trump isn't going to do ridiculous tariffs like 20% on everything etc. This is Trump doing his "art of the deal." He's going to try to use it as a starting position in talks with other countries. HTH

Hopefully you had a good night sleeping off the booze, and can come in today with intelligent discussion.

For the purpose of this discussion, I don't want to move the goalposts into an argument of how violent it was. Instead, I'm conceding it was violent, and/or could be if there is another one, and I assert that the Capitol/security would be more prepared in the future.

That is interesting. I wonder if it is relevant. Maybe a girl planet just wants to be different?

Fake information, PeefoamLight?

I didn't "run down the field" with anything, I said initially that the rate of change vs. absolute change was interesting. I've made my points, which you've largely ignored, and instead focus on your inability to read, and end with another Eeyore reference. I was trying to have an actual conversation with you, if you had taken the time to read my posts, Hopefully, others with some intelligence got something out of them. Otherwise, I'm done responding to your trolling on this, Peefoam-Light.

Nice data, boyo.

First thought was an interview with Lex Fridman, who is fairly apolitical but the Left probably considers him a MAGA guy because he is right of Mao. Main point is that this is an unscripted interview on a variety of topics, with Trump answering honestly. I have no idea what Kamala actually thinks, since her recent positions are 180 degrees from her life's work.

I don't have access to WaPo, since I don't support Leftie sources. Feel free to paste the relevant info. Also, if you read above, I said that the rate of change (vs. absolute change) is an interesting point which, as an engineer, I find more believable. But in doing so, you are basically conceding that the absolute temp change is irrelevant. Either you didn't read that or forgot. More Eeyore, I'll go Seafoam in reply: Rusties are so stupid!

We're looking to the future, unburdened by the past.

Well, there you go then. Great discussion. On Fox? She'll only go on stations that support her. Did you watch it? Half of it was basically, "Trump said this, tell me why it sucks and you are awesome!" And she was clearly given the questions. Also, I thought that Ruhle looking glowingly at her the entire time was not a very professional look. I agree on the second paragraph, and I think that in general he is getting better about avoiding the grievance talk (has he done that recently?), and being a little quieter. See above.
