More like she is coming to terms with her political adventure, I won’t stoop so low as to call it a career, being over for good. There will be no second chances, à la Stacey Abram’s, because she is the main cause of the GOP retaining the House and reclaiming the Senate and the White House, the last while winning the popular vote. A bigger disaster just was not possible. ☠️

On a lighter note, amidst the gloom, despondency and general, all-round misery that is the Presidential Election, the LA Dodgers have earned my respect for the following piece of epic-level trolling: We hate New York - Giants, Jets, Yankees, Mets, it just doesn’t matter 😎 And now we return you you our regularly scheduled interminable suffering ☠️

Tim Walz accused of pushing Chinese Communist Party official’s daughter to brink of suicide during storm-tossed love affair in 1980s: ‘Made me feel cheap’ By Josh Christenson Published Oct. 28, 2024 Updated Oct. 28, 2024, 5:44 p.m. ET Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz had a love affair with the daughter of a Chinese Communist Party official during his teaching stint in Foshan that was so stormy, it drove her to the brink of suicide, The Post has learned. https://nypost.com/2024/10/28/us-news/tim-walz-accused-of-pushing-chinese-communist-party-officials-daughter-to-brink-of-suicide-during-1980s-affair/ Apparently, in his (much) younger days, Tampon Tim was quite the male misogynist piglet 🐷 Interestingly, the majority of website at the top of the search are of Indian origin. Maybe Kamala has done nothing to curry favour with the subcontinent by denying her heritage?

Daily Update on Kamala Tanking America

Would we see more investment in small businesses under a Harris regime, to stick it to Amazon now that Jeff Bezos stiffed her on a WaPo endorsement? 🤔 -
Electric vehicles have an efficiency problem
Pooky replied to Nature Boy 2.0's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
Until a viable alternative to the lithium-based battery is available, electric cars will remain an outlier. The environmental cost is unsustainable and the raw material sources remain a source of global economic friction. The West, in particular the USA, can not and will not allow China to become the dominant market force in EV production and sales. Solid state batteries looked to be the way forward. With greater capacity and faster recharging, but developed has been slower than anticipated. Anyone aiming for 2035, or even 2050, as an ICE cut-off date, is being impracticality optimistic. Without significant and well-planned investment in an electric charging infrastructure, unlike the $7.5bn investment con-job perpetrated by the Biden-Harris administration, the ICE will always remain the most accessible and efficient means of ground transportation. -
It doesn’t matter if she knows the topics, they know the topics, or the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal knows the topics. Kamala Chemeleon is inherently unable to form succinct, coherent and cogent responses to the questions posed, even if she is given days to prepare. She can’t manage a 3 minute conversation without needing balsamic vinaigrette for her word salad. A 3 hour conversation would be a nightmare from which her psyche would never recover. ☠️

Different breed of billionaire. The Koch brothers, Sheldon Adelson, Bill Gates and George Soros are all of a reliable political flavor. Donald Trump is not. Before 2015, he was seen as leaning Democrat, if not a full-fledged Democrat. He was feted by the likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. He donated to Democrat causes. He was part of the in-crowd. Then he walked down that escalator and everything changed.

What was most conducive to the evolution of Donald Trump as a political force were the divisions sewn under the Obama era, mainly by race, but also, among other factors, by the weaponisation of political agencies against the nascent populist organisations within the GOP, most prominent of which was the Tea Party. Having the IRS persecute right-of-center organisations in an obviously biased manner convinced the rank and file of the GOP that they needed a robust figurehead to lead their populist push, rather than the rehashed politicos that had led the Tea Party like a blind gerbil farmer. The wrinkles started appearing when it became apparent that Trump’s business acumen was such an asset that it threatened to upset the Washington machine. None of his policies are determined by race, gender, political affiliation, or any of that #######, despite what the Democrats and their allies in the media might want you to believe. No, all of his policies are driven by financial considerations. Illegal immigration is a major drain on Federal and State coffers. Tariffs address the historical market-rigging of China and aim to rebalance a decidedly unbalanced trade situation. They also drive manufacturing home, to increase revenue and taxes. And so on and so on. When combined, this success of this type of approach makes traditional politicians uncomfortable. The unfamiliar territory they find themselves in diminishes their power and influence. There are less avenues to promote their own influence and less opportunities to benefit from their policy positions. So they resist. And the alphabet agencies resist strongest of all.it is in their interest to maintain the status quo (the situation not the band). History can educate us about what happens when you try to change things too much in Washington.
