When my wife told her mom she was surprised she didn’t vote early, mother in law said “I want to make sure my vote counts”

I think people who “go back and forth” are the hidden Harris voters. They just don’t want to admit it to others because they were trump voters.

For you level. That’s awesome

That comedian should avoid going above the 2nd floor in any building.

Road 111 goes from Chattanooga thru my family’s north of there but goes a bit east. Will be interested to know your route. One of favorite part of my trips down there is when I get off I-75. I will say this about our southern friends. It’s immediately evident how nice they are. I stop every 90 minutes to 2 hours and every person I encounter says hello and is gracious.

I’ve been in TN since Friday. Just got back tonight. On the drive down and back I was shocked by the lack of Trump signs. Not saying they didn’t exist but I got off I-75 in KY and head southwest on the smaller highways for 3 hours and you see lots of country. Lots of political signs for locals but no large displays for Trump. Make of that what you will. No I am not suggesting KY or TN turn blue. Just speaking to overall enthusiasm.

Vance converted to Catholicism a few years ago under the guidance of a very extreme sect of Catholics, Opus Dei.

I don't think that's a function of pay. That's because there's an abundance of jobs at that level and retail workers can now have more flexibility in finding the job that fits their schedule and desire. Rather than pay 2 people to stand behind a register to just input things into a register and ask dumb questions, those 2 people can make the food, clean up, gather the food, etc. When I worked retail it was a pain in the butt handling a customer at the register because it took me away from something else I was doing, like stocking shelves or whatever. People aren't out there crying because they can't work at McDonald's anymore. They're working somewhere else, or they retired, or they realized after covid they didn't need the extra money it brought in. It's really no different than not having gas station attendents pump our gas. Once they realize customers can do it themselves then why pay people to do it?

I was half listening while playing on my phone but every time I looked up it seemed like she was talking about Trump or John Kelly. I’m not criticizing but only speaking in the context of addressing these alleged undecided voters. Just still amazed that here we are treating her like we’ve always done but the other guy didn’t show up and says the most bat**** crazy things and… nothing. Trump gets to hit from the lady tees.

Too early to tell. I’d be thrilled with a Fryman but even so… just average is fine.

Harris needs to answer questions to these “undecided” voters in PA without mentioning Trump.

The only thing I can think of that would matter a little bit is if there’s real audio of him, recently, using the N word or talking smack about Christians. And by recent I mean 2021 or later.

That’s it? They will just point out some old Biden videos of him sniffing hair or something. This won’t even make the news.

I think that’s exactly it. Plus the uncertainty of knowing where game 1 will even be means you can’t start until you actually know.

Trump could perform an abortion on a 12 year old girl that he impregnated, put it on PPV and the evangelical right wingers would pay $49.99 to watch it and slut shame the girl.

I'd steer clear of anything on Newsweek. It's not what it used to be. Remember when JD Vance said one valid reason to oppose certification on Jan 6 was things being out in the press that were inaccurate? This is an inside job. Create a fake scandal then when it gets out and debunked, that provides the fuel to question all the votes already cast and create doubt, blah blah blah. This is a plant.

RIP Fernando. Horrible news on its own but throw in the Yankees And Dodgers WS and 1981… this really stinks. He was only 63. That’s shocking to me. I was just a kid for Fernando mania and here he is only 12 years older?

Texas is the one state I fear shenanigans if if looks like she will win it. Abbot will send in the national guard and try to get them to seize ballots on election night. There’s no way he will let it go blue. They will find some judges to let them do what they want.

I knew there would be a good answer. Makes sense. The $2 double cheeseburgers (plain, 2 of them) was my go to after Tiger games at 11:30 pm after dropping my buddy off at his house. Can eat while driving. No mess. Those were the days.

Yeah I think at that point they’ve earned the right to get a chance to catch their breath and possibly set up their rotation. It’s the World Series. We should want quality baseball. I just don’t know what people expect the solution to be when you have the preceding LCS can go from 4 to 7 games. You can’t work around that.

Why would it just affect the quarter pounder if it was due to the onions? Do they get a different kind of onion from other burgers?

****. Just realized that demo is me.

But they aren’t to change the schedule if the preceding series ends early. TV spots have been bought based on the days they are airing, plus you have all the logistics that go into planning the games. Don’t blame the league, blame the Yankees and Dodgers for not losing more in their LCS.

Tonight would have been game 7 in the ALCS. I don’t think 3 days off is unreasonable. Let them recover from partying tomorrow. Give them a travel day Wednesday . Then a day to work out in the stadium. They have media sessions too.
