I'm not even going to bother with the Tom Hardy Mad Max "that's bait" meme on anything involving Wolff.

My dreams for an immediate post election/post inaugural period for Harris: Trump sentenced Peaceful transfer of office from Biden to Harris with a joyful ceremony Putin/Zelensky peace deal that allows Ukraine into EU and some sort of less-than-awesome status quo agreement on the borders Some sort of agreement on territorial integrity of Taiwan that encourages China opening up and relaxing their hike toward Stalinist isolation Brexit reversed and the UK reintegrated into the EU (not Harris' job obviously but probably best for the West). But all that requires that item 2 occur.

So, I think you are doing fine work here MTB. I'm convinced by a couple things i've seen in the final week that the aggregate will be a good night for Harris (and America and Democracy). We should be worried still that Trump's team are using polls-as-propaganda because the gunstrokers and lightly-educated will see them as reason for another Jan 6 or whatever other escalation of their fascist program they organize. One good thing is that many of these people were put in prison over the last 4 years and they lost a core of organizers but Mike Flynn and his brother are still free. Steve Bannon just got out of prison and probably was organizing while in jail. I hope the counter-planning has been as robust. I think perhaps it has.

Literally calling for Liz Cheney's death by firing squad should have been a decisive moment. We have to break this movement. To quote Daniel Day Lewis in Lincoln: "the moment is NOW!"

man... can you imagine this guy in charge of anything?

this game is hot garbage

Joe Rogan destroyed Vance on abortion/Roe. I was not expecting that.

People want to be nervous. I do think there is a strong possibility of violence if team crybaby doesn't get its way but the overall trends (well outlined above). The only trend you don't mention is the huge, already polled and captured in early voting trends gender gap.

This Jets Texans football game is a manifestation of what an RFK Jr. oversight of the FDA and HHS would be like. I can see the logic of not having vaccines because we need to rapidly depopulate the planet to allow the billionaires more freedom of action.

The three jewish women commercial being run by the Republican Jewish Coalition is hilarious.

If that happens it will because he suddenly became popular for all the asinine things he does and women forgot it was election day. Statistically, women will outvote men by a good margin and unless they don’t, he can’t win.

Ok, I recall that BST was a fan of the term "loonspuddery" which was amusing.

Jed 🇬🇧 (@TigersJUK) / X is the guy's handle.

is blue square thing "Jed" the tiger twitter guy?

Listening to George Conway just now on the bulwark thing...says the "I am your protector if you like it or not" thing was likely a conversation with the campaign consultants who told him that was the overall aura he was trying to project but captain dumbass went ahead and said it because he lacks self control. He basically dove straight into a H.W. Bush style "Message: I care" statement.

Looks like Elon is above the law. Hold him in contempt.

This has been interesting to watch

Bryce Underwood thing is clearly impacting if Carter Smith decommits. Hope the gamble pays off.

That would be an amazing stat.

Its not like I haven't seen these at the various places where they would exist. I haven't been to a gun show for about 5 years but I had seen this type of thing there.

Ron Filipkowski on X: "Montage of clips of Trump dragging his right leg over the last few months. He refuses to release his medical records. https://t.co/5Am3xiOdWT" / X

Elon's garbage app is not happy with this link https://x.com/DanRShafer/status/1850266451283788017 https://x.com/DanRShafer/status/1850266451283788017T https://x.com/DanRShafer/status/1850266451283788017

I'd be wary of adding a lot of position player veterans unless those veterans were good cultural fits. You can't help but notice that Javy Baez leaving the dugout signaled immediately the surge. Is Alex Bregman that fit? I dunno. Spencer Torkelson would be a cultural fit if he could hit his weight. Will that happen? I dunno. The formula of the '84 Tigers to create a core of young players who all come up together and add via trade (Chet Lemon) and FA (Darrell Evans) those extra pieces seems more robust for our market than the 2006-2013 model of building via the checkbook and trading for pieces from the bottom of the woodpile because only a Dave Dombrowski can do that if he's backed by a hefty Mike Illitch checkbook and Scott Boros is on speed dial.
