Seriously? " ........... likely the DOJ is spending money created from debt" They've (both D's and R's) been doing that for decades!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(SEMAFOR) Slow boring There are barely two weeks until the US election. They are, laments the political scientist Ben Ansell, going to be boring. Two weeks “of doomscrolling. Of ‘unskewing’ polls you don’t like. Of cursing or cheering Nate Silver. [Two weeks] of essentially nothing changing.” It’s not easy for the media, which relies on a certain horse-race he’s-up-she’s-down narrative, but the fact of the matter is that nothing much has happened in the polls, and nothing much is likely to happen. That is, says Ansell on Political Calculus, the “horrible truth at the heart of the current period of the Presidential race.” The poll average over the last month has not shifted. All the predictor sites have had Kamala Harris at around 53% to 57% likely to win, for weeks. That is barely better than a coin toss: This is “just a really really uncertain race.” The outcome could be interesting, sure. A systematic polling error in either direction could mean that either candidate could end up winning a landslide, and there have been systematic polling errors in several elections in the last decade or so. But we won’t know until after election day, and no amount of tea-leaf-gazing is going to change that. {AKA Neck and neck lol}
Right, but maybe the Onion Rings patooey. "A preliminary FDA investigation suggests that slivered onions served on the burgers are a likely source of contamination. The USDA is investigating the hamburger patties. In a statement, McDonald's officials said that initial findings suggest that some illnesses are linked to onions sourced from a single supplier." - AP
Speaking of onion. Trump Releases Skull Measurements From Phrenology Exam Published: October 18, 2024 PALM BEACH, FL—Claiming he had the most “beautiful and perfect” cranial structure that his physician had ever seen, former President Donald Trump reportedly took to Truth Social this week to release the skull measurements from his latest phrenology exam. “According to my doctor and everyone at the Boston Phrenological Society, my incredible scalp morphology and brain contours will make me the best president of all time,” Trump wrote in a late-night post, adding that his medical advisor Dr. Heimlich von Thurston personally measured his skull’s shape, hollows, and bumps with specialized calipers and assured him that his 27 mental faculties were aligned in ideal proportion. “Although Laughing Kamala claims she is ‘intelligent,’ ‘mindful,’ and ‘truthful,’ my skull circumference, brow, and forehead shape are far superior according to Morton’s cranial capacity rankings. My skull shows I have the brain of an aristocrat. And she has the brain of a lunatic in an asylum! Release your measurements, Kamala. Or do you have something to hide?” Trump added that when he was elected president, he would ensure that anyone with a criminal skull shape like Kamala Harris’ would be rounded up and deported immediately.
