'Objects In Space'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
She knows his playbook.
It's not just that he's a liar (though he obviously is), he's increasing incoherent verbally. For real, Trump's speech patterns remind me very very much of how my dad talks, and *he* hallucinates blue people and aliens in his apartment. I would be 110% UNsurprised to learn that Trump hallucinates people and/or aliens.
In purely unscientific observation, There are far fewer Trump signs in this very red area. As in extremely rare, which was not the case in the prior 2 elections.
They are all over the place here, but I wasn't here for the last election so it could be that there are less. It probably makes me a bit more pessimistic though.
Thing that is more encouraging: Trump's base was already locked in, numbers-wise. He was never going to get *more* voters.
His favorability is higher than it has been in the past, so Harris has to probably outperform Biden from 2020 and right now she isn't there yet, which is making me think Trump will win. She really needs to get back to his 2020 level with Black and Latino voters.
That's a lot of firefighting.
We are opening a total of 32 Haunted Houses, across 5 states and they all open in a three week window. First ones opened last week, another round this weekend, and the final round the next weekend.
Stretch goals: Both NC and TX(!) are closer than they ought to be, because downticket races are dragging Trump down, rather than the opposite.
That's actually another big positive, the bounce Kamala got opened up more lines of attack that the Republicans have to spend time defending. So even if she doesn't win Texas, they have to spend money, energy and focus there to defend against down ballot effects.
Also, the GOP wasn't really spending money on NC before because they thought they had it in the bag. Now it's super tight. Also the GOP had a stretch goal of New Hampshire and have given up on that.
Ugh. It makes my stomach tight and I've got to focus on Matilda's travel stuff.
and I said, "doing anything good?" which let her say YES!!!
That's a fantastic way to ask and it allows them to give whatever details (or not) that they wish. I'd respond well to it and I don't like 'not friend' people asking for too many deets.
My first vote was on one of those! Very satisfying.
Me too! Our house was a polling place (it was vey small town back then) so I 'voted' a lot as a child. For every candidate. I loved punching the little chads.
Even so, I'd like to cast my absentee ballot and then be put into a drug-induced coma until after the election.
I feel this so hard.
trying hard to duck (say) Rita Moreno's phone calls.
Yeah, she's another one I'm not ready for. That "Heyyyyy you guyyyyyyys" from The Electric Company is literally one of my first childhood memories.
Man, The Electric Company was amazing
The literal first one that I'm sure wasn't my being told over and over was Archie and Edith singing--they weren't good, and they sort of remind me of my dad's parents. And, yeah, I watched a lot of EC. Death may be my gift, but I don't have some inside info about Ms. Moreno(she was SO good on the "One Day" reboot!)
