I was reminiscing the other day about elections like 1976, when I was not going to be particularly unhappy in the morning whichever guy won. Good times.....

Having Musk and RFKjr anywhere near the administration is a suicide pact with America

I wanted to share an anecdotal story from door knocking this morning. I knocked on a door and the lady who answered is probably early to mid-40s. She let me know right away that she is Puerto Rican-American. She also let me know that her and her daughter are voting for Harris because of what was said at the MSG rally about Puerto Rico by Trump's people. It seems to be breaking through.

I'm a big fan of the Packers center.

That final Harris ad during the Lions game..woah. Very good message.

I can't imagine how much Packers fans can't stand Kerby Joseph.

Yes it was.

From the first TD:

I think you'd have a hard time even calling that targeting. He was dropping into the hit, not launching himself. Bad hit? Yes. Foul, Yes. Ejection? Come on...

My favorite was the Ecology Song. Or was it Mercy, Mercy, Me? ETA: And people did listen for a while, and passed legislation to help with clean air and water with good results. Unfortunately, people have either forgotten, or never knew about rivers catching fire, air quality alerts, and generally how dirty many of our cities were, and how important it is to keep the regulations to maintain our cleaner, healthier, environment. Even now it's unacceptable that we keep hearing about lead contaminated water in places-and yet it could get even worse.

I'd be more for Bregman if he was the last piece of the puzzle to put us over the top in October. But we have a bunch of other holes to plug, so I think I'd be surprised if we went all in on him.

He’s waiting to see what Maybin gets.

He can't play in bad weather.

Cardinals up 15 on the Bears in the 4th and are in Chicago territory trying to make it a 3-score game. Update: Just did so. 27-9.

Barring Lions fumbles on run plays or kicks, it will be almost impossible for Green Bay to come back in this. Would be nice to run off a few minutes here.

So the Lions can play in weather like real men do? Heck yeah!

Run up the score!

Agree. That’s a penalty, not a booting.

This team has an amazing ability to just keep playing, good things happen!

From the article: Sometimes I think that Republican operatives don't realize that most normal Americans aren't tied in with every single outrage of the day that comes down the pipe.... it's one of the party's biggest flaws in the Trump era. The average voter knew about MSG and likely didn't hear about Biden or anything he said....

Both Biden and Harris needed to be saying this the last several months.

Campbell's aggressiveness nets us 4 extra points, something that will surely be forgotten about the next time an aggressive move goes wrong.

I used to love everything about elections-from watching the debates to watching the conventions, right up to watching the returns come in on Election Day. This was true even when the results were different from what I had hoped. Now I think I'll have to stay offline for the next few days, except for some things I absolutely have to do online. '76 was the first election I was allowed to stay up and watch-I was 9. I vaguely wanted Carter to win but felt like Ford was also fine.

These 4:25 "game of the week" games usually start pretty close to the listed time, kickoff will likely be at 4:30 at the latest.

"They paved paradise and put up a parking lot" She was singing about the environment since the 60's. Yeah, nobody listened...

A Trump win will not be good for my job security or the security of anyone whose job depends on a competent government. Massachustts is indeed a great place to live.

We're pretty doom and gloom here, because a Drumpf win could be a big disaster for MA-and it's really stressful to know that our future could depend on how the people in about 7-8 states vote. Even with all of its faults MA is a really great place to live.

Somehow, if and when this era passes we're all going to have to try our best to come back together after being driven apart by all of this rhetoric. When this happens I don't know, and will depend on what happens on Tuesday. I can only say it won't be easy, and all the junk 'news' out there might make it impossible. I hope not.

I've seen similar pictures of young women in Afghanistan. They should be a warning. But... denial is not just a river. And yes, that is exactly what MAGA wants.

“We don’t know what we’re doing” is a hell of a way to make a living.

In TN I saw Blackburn ads where she threw “China” on the floor in an effort to show she will fight China

Iowa has also had a lot of trouble attracting doctors in general, but especially OBGYNs. This isn't just because of the abortion ban, of course, but it certainly doesn't help. This is one issue which really needs to be addressed, and soon-hospitals are closing, especially in rural areas but also in poorer urban neighborhoods. Where I grew up the nearest hospital was 30-45 minutes away, and if that closed, the next nearest one was even farther away.

He was so damn right. There was a reason the leftists like George Orwell who could see the danger of Stalin and Hitler could see how much they needed Churchill.

She wants it to come down to Warren so she can get attention and perhaps try a few things. In the end it will fail but could be good for her future if she gets to be on Fox News a lot.

Well A - that should be plastered in ads all over the telly in these last 2 days B - He'll probably roll back child labor laws if given the chance like that troll in Arkansas did.

The remember the names bit was great. Good spoof of online culture warriors.

Was that the real Tim Kaine on SNL?

My mom said I had a huge crush on Dixie as a kid. Maybe it's not a coincidence that I live with a former nurse.

Maybe this is a conversation better had after the votes are cast, but people really need to stop stereotyping and understand that the demographics that swung heavily toward Trump in 2016 may not have the same relationship with him today. I'm not saying it's a lot of folks, but not everybody feels the same way that they did then. And it may impact actual voting behavior. But there's a tendency if you don't spend time in rural America to assume that perceptions don't change, and that's not necessarily true.

There won't be a next Trump. He's a freak who has totally conned 40% of the electorate. If there is one, I hope they expose him a lot more quickly. I have no problem wth the media supporting a conservative candidate who is intelligent and sane. I wouldn't vote for that person, but I would consider them qualified.

Ha-Seong Kim of the Padres declined his player option and is now a FA. Could be a potential target for the Tigers, he's a right handed bat that can play all over the infield and will only be 29 next season.

Incorrect. Monetization of debt starts with spending. Spending starts in congress. The Fed couldn't monetize debt unless debt is issued (government bonds of some type). Wall Street benefits no matter what as they are the exchange that handles the transactions (bond auctions) and get the money first. All these inept assholes that's inhabited congress for the last X amount of years are at fault, including the two dip****s we have today.

I think we already have an oligarchy, but this arrangement would certainly make it easier for them.

I don't want to sign in/create an account, but I already know that even though I would have been considered a mainstream Democrat in the 70s, I'd be labeled as far left today.
