US Election 2024

What newspaper is it? It’s absolutely desperate journalism.

NYT and WaPo have both totally showed their arses over it, but that is a continuation of their attitude to the Biden-Harris admin and the new Harris ticket.

I didnt realize this…the next congress (house) will be responsible for certifying the results of the presidential election, not the current (republican led) house

Of course they can only certify votes that the states themselves certify so only the last link in a chain in which there are multiple vulnerabilities, but it’s a good thing to be shooting for nonetheless

It goes back to how Presidents were originally selected. States have their elections in late Fall, then head to Washington in January. There, they convene Congress to choose the President. That changed with the introduction of the idea of electors, but initially they were often the Senators and House members anyway. The pledged electors evolved from that.

Trump has a record of trying to cut medicare despite ardent promises to protect it, as a very popular populist program, during his campaign. Every budget proposal his admin published included proposed cuts. Every one. Yet these people say we cannot comment on his record, only what the lyingest liar in liartown says now despite having said it before and shown that it was a lie.

EDIT: Note, he also doesnt know the difference between medicare and medicaid.

Yeah, that company can’t be happy. Pretty sure the 47 is for 1947.

What is the relevance of 1947?

My daughter bought a hat for me at the Liverpool store when she was in England. it is the 47 brand and has an American flag on it, with the Liver Bird prominent on the front. Not sure I’m a fan of their branding… feels a bit more like the sort of stuff a gun-owning type might wear, I dunno?

Anyhow, of course I thanked my daughter for the hat and for thinking of her dad!

'47 (brand) - Wikipedia.

It’s all fairly harmless. When the father or grandfather started selling stuff in Boston outside Fenway.

The tax on unrealized gains will be a difficult one to pull off without big backlash, but as with most of these policy statements, the devil will be in the details.

Especially with the way these guys use the value in their equity to turn it spendable money it seems like a worthwhile endeavor to explore. If they think they have an approach to make it work, and this isnt know nothings down the pub coming up with ideas, then it’s worth taking a serious look at.

His latter years have been rather sad to see.

Much to my mother’s despair, my brothers and I worshipped the wrestlers of Hogan’s generation. The amount of shit we broke around the house…

Can someone please explain to me how a former head of state is allowed to access a current head of state and discuss state matters?
