Haley seems almost normal sometimes.

Haley seems almost normal sometimes.

She’s a fairly normal post-Bush pub. I would vote for Biden over her. But I would vote for her over Trump or Vivek or Ron. Or even Tim Scott or Pence.

[KUTradition]

yep

I genuinely believe that if Jesus reappeared (or appeared, if you will) and said that Biden, I don’t know, has acceptable personal hygiene habits, Trump would blast Jesus as an agent of the radical left who is “not a very nice guy.”

Except that he is back to hating Israel and threatening them.

Everything Trump thinks is temporary, except that Trump is the strongest, most powerful, most virile, most successful, most winning person. There is not a position that can't be flattened to dust if it's contrary to these fundamental truths.

President Joe Biden’s 2024 campaign, the Democratic National Committee and a joint fundraising organization that raises money for Democrats' state parties collectively raised more than $71 million in the third quarter, according to Biden's re-election effort.

The amount is on par with what the operation raised in the second quarter, which was $72 million, when the campaign itself brought in $20 million. Biden's team did not disclose how much money the campaign committee specifically raked in this quarter, which will be disclosed in a filing with the Federal Election Commission later Sunday.

The campaign touted nearly $91 million cash on hand across its fundraising entities as it prepares for a massive re-election effort...

The Biden effort reported over 240,000 new donors this quarter who did not give to the campaign in 2020. And it doubled the number of those who have signed up to give every month, to more than 112,000 people.

“We are especially proud of our efforts to exponentially grow our grassroots donor base, now having over a hundred thousand Americans signed up to donate on a recurring basis from now until Election Day,” campaign manager Julie Chávez Rodriguez said.

The combined $71 million is more than any Republican campaign haul, with the Biden effort including a party apparatus fully behind him and multiple entities, some of them with higher contribution limits.

Trump's campaign, which has raised the most money on the GOP side, previously announced more than $45 million raised in the third quarter; it did not detail how the money was divided between his campaign and a PAC that has been covering fees in his legal cases...

MAGA is dead, but they just don't know it yet.

MAGA is dead, but they just don't know it yet.

I think that's probably true...at the ballot box.

But I won't sugarcoat - I've definitely been thinking, watching events in Israel, about the challenges we'll face if/when something like 5-15% of the country (a very heavily-armed and radicalized 5-15% of the country, that lives largely in concentrated places) is more or less shut out of the national political process (a process they have been radicalized not to trust).

I'm very concerned that conversations about what to do when armed radicals surround themselves with at least somewhat-sympathetic non-combatants...won't be oceans away.

Shit is gonna get tense going into 2025
