Jeff Bezos has warned a Trump victory would mean the death of corporate media. Some people feel the polling is a little sketchy. I'm no data scientist but I'm seeing my poll is better than your poll. Saw some Rasmussen interpretation last night that there's some indicators Trump could win in a landslide. Another analysis - Harris needs her entire blue wall to win. If Trump chips away at that it's over.
The last thing the msm came up with, I mean after the Liz Cheney thing was Trump simulated a sex act on a mic at a rally in Milwaukee on Friday night. This was only after his mic wouldn't work right for a whole hour. Sometimes people get punch drunk from stress or overwork. I'm sure you've dealt with them. You go to work and someone's acting a little too zany. Drudge ran with the headline though with a short clip on X. Is Drudge still around?
The legacy media. Where do we go from here?
Probably take a few months to finish count, handing chads, doctored smartphones, district courts, while each network blathers on. Meanwhile, perhaps RFK jr and Tucker Carlson will manage the ship of state. No calls asking for advice so far here, but got an e-mail that our family doctor is leaving town and we better find another one before our pills run out. Gonna see if the vet will take us, ya know?
ReplyDeleteNewsfeeds trying to put a positive polling spin on for Harris but one data expert I read, forget the name has said when only 28% of people say the country is on the right track the incumbency has never won. We'll see what happens.
ReplyDeleteI'm no Democrat but I would have said go with someone outside the WH.
ReplyDeletethe abortion issue - still out there.
ReplyDeleteYes. Many pro-abortion ads on TV. Might be a depressing fact that many people like abortion.
ReplyDeleteJust another part of 'No government can tell me what to do'
ReplyDeleteNo consistency. Many people who say my body my choice would have no problem with two Army guys holding you down for a covid shot.
ReplyDeleteNo consistancy - We will jail you and your doctor, because it is our business and not yours. But keep your hands off our AR-15 collection - that is government interference. I see your point.
DeleteAbortion is arguably the taking of a human life and I'm thinking philosophically it should enter into your moral calculus but it doesn't. For you and others choice trumps life. Pro-choicers enjoy this edge in the debate. Pro-lifers have to identify as anti-abortion but pro-choicers need not identify as pro-abortion. That's a philosophical twilight zone. You can't admit you're pro-abortion even though in all your voluminous commentary over the years you've never said you're against it on even a personal level.
DeleteJust for the record though it bears noting that most of the people who publicly identify as pro-choice were for various covid vaccine mandates even though it was a rushed vaccine and needs much more further study. What they say bears no weight with me. They're only pro-choice on abortion and sexual issues but not much else.

There's a metaphor in here somewhere. Oh I get it.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to think of another issue where you have the luxury of saying you're not for or against it. Normally that falls under dissonance. Give me some time.
ReplyDeleteNot for, not against - Hi Diddle Diddle-I'm in the middle?
ReplyDeleteSo yeah apply this to other issues. Not for racism, not against racism. In the middle. Not for bank robbery, not against......
ReplyDeleteI tend neutral on acupuncture - not for me, but pro-choice.
ReplyDeletePro-choicers don't acknowledge the philosophical problem or issue or dilemma here. That is even the Roe Court said in a footnote that if the fetus is human the abortion case collapses.
