[defixione]

comma'la is like #47 on the list that exists.

she will be one term.

fingers crossed 2028 is the year we break this cycle.

I've often wondered why you don't type using the Russian alphabet, it's not like it would blow your cover.

Today is the primary election in St Louis, and Cori needs to go.

Dow is up again. Does that mean Trump's ALLCAPS HARRIS CRASH was wrong. Again?

[MICHHAWK]

no.

it means that when the market is good, president is good. when market is bad, president has nothing to do with it.

Markets have been incredible during Biden's tenure. Crunchwrap supreme good

Markets have been incredible during Biden's tenure. Crunchwrap supreme good

I heard yesterday the Dow is up 7500 points since Biden was elected.

In other news:

Most large cannabis multi-state operators were notably higher Wednesday after Vice President Kamala Harris selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, a noted marijuana reform supporter, as her running mate for the Democratic presidential ticket.

In May 2023, Walz signed into law an adult-use marijuana bill that also expunged non-violent cannabis convictions. Sales in the state are expected to begin in Q1 2025...

no.

it means that when the market is good, president is good. when market is bad, president has nothing to do with it.

Fun fact, the only three presidencies since 1929 that saw negative returns on the S&P 500 were all Republican presidencies.

I would say the more sound view is that there is much more noise than signal in using market performance as a proxy for a President's performance. BUT, if that's the exercise, then we should be grounded in the facts!

It's been legal here for about a year. There are only two dispensaries, both on Reservations. I'm told you can buy edibles because of some loophole in the law. I know the legislature is trying to come up with an equitable method of distributing licenses.

When they go weird, we go Walz.

[Shirley]

When they go weird, we go Walz.

lol

I hope that when "weird" loses its altitude, they change to "creepy", because that's what they are.

[twocoach]

do i have this right. the jewish guy couldn't be the pick because he is not pro hamas?

Mich bringing the truth, dammit!

BTW, not one email or text asking me for a donation since the Walz reveal?

What have I been doing wrong?

Who have I offended?

I just got a text and a few emails earlier today.

Yeah, that post has not aged well, at all.

[MICHHAWK]

all parties have their "weird wings of the party." but for there to be a "pro middle eastern terrorist" wing of the democrat party. that's a humdinger.

[twocoach]

I wouldve gone with Kelly

pretty good counter to the "patriots' when you have an astronaut and a veteran. What's more patriotic than that?

FYI: Walz served 24 years in the Army National Guard, and, he's the highest ranking military person ever to serve in congress, Command Sargent Major, dammit.

but was he an astronaut?

sheesh, ok, I get it. You love the guy. He might be great? I admitted I don't know much about him.

hes probably a better option than shapiro...but I'm not a huge fan of Shapiro so, others might feel different

Seems like Harris made the choice because she likes the person and his fit in her administration and not because of what state they represented, which is great to me. It shows that she is building her team to succeed while in office, not just to try to get into office.

Yest another "things that don't exist for 200, Alex" statement. Well done.

[MICHHAWK]

Full disclosure: I don't know all that much about Walz either, and, as much as I hate to admit it, I think part of my exuberance for him is my...........relief at not having to face the drama that the ultra-left, pro-Hamas-wing of the Democratic Party would have put us through, including at the DNC in Chicago in a couple of weeks, had Shapiro been the VP choice. And, and, and, I really, really like Shapiro.

he said it. not me.

your apology in 3-2-1

[KUTradition]

blech

he was like 4th or 5th on my list

i don’t get it

Of course you will get it if you really think about it.
While bland, low risk. Not Jewish. Not Gay. Not too young. Not too old. "Moderate" Democrat.
Middle America, average guy, military background.
Kamala the highlight of the ticket.
All makes sense to me.

i agree with that breakdown

i should’ve said i don’t agree, not that i don’t get it. i understand the strategy

If your comment was a direct response to that then quote it next time. I am not a damn mind reader.

Bite me. He's a good choice.

i don’t think there was really a bad choice among the top 4 or 5 options

just not my preference

I don't agree with the decision either but probably the safest?
Maybe the safest? Definitely not the most exciting.
