"Today, Celine Dion’s management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc., became aware of the unauthorized usage of the video, recording, musical performance, and likeness of Celine Dion singing ‘My Heart Will Go On’ at a Donald Trump/JD Vance campaign rally in Montana. In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use.…And really, that song?”

Last we talked about it (early 2023,) he said he was hoping Pence would run and "whoop" Trump. I just checked Open Secrets and the only two donations he has ever made are to Pence in July 2023 and Brian Kemp in 2022. We haven't talked about it since then, and it's looking like 2024 will be the first year of my life that I won't set foot in the state of Georgia, so it's highly unlikely that we'll get to talk in person before the election. My guess would be that given he donated to the campaign, he'll write in Pence again.
On nose-holders, I get it. I know quite a few of them, some of whom didn't just hold their noses, but fought HARD for the Republicans to nominate another candidate in each of the last three elections. (I mean, in 2016 I knew personally just about every individual listed on this page. I know literally no one on it now.) I could easily see myself being a Trump nose-holder if my life experiences were just a little different. I feel pretty confident that I'm doing the right thing, but to be honest, I still have doubts at times when it comes to voting for someone who might advance pro-choice policies. There's next to zero chance of me voting for Trump, but given Pence's stance on Jan 6 and his continued refusal to endorse Trump, if I lived in a state that treated write-ins as a vote, I'd consider going that route.

Somebody hacked the Trump campaign and they are blaming Iran.
Irony.

My people aren't a large group, but they exist. I found them in Columbus; I found them in Marietta; I found them in Tucker. I'm not saying that this type of voter ALONE cost Trump Georgia, but I am saying (and I believe I predicted it here at FOFC or perhaps at FOxL at the time it went down in 2020,) that RGB's passing and Barrett getting put on the court DEFINITELY cost Trump some pro-life 2016 nose-holders, because at that point having an R in the White House became less critical to that agenda. Again, doubt that many of them voted D, but it had to have made them feel a whole lot more at ease about writing in someone like Pence or just leaving the Presidential slot blank.

Just off the top of my head, Upper income taxes Child tax credit Spending on clean energy Unions Crypto investing Education spending Fed independence Corporate tax rate CFPB You can like/dislike, but there are plenty of differences.

The child tax credit literally expired under Biden when Dems controlled both the House and Senate. Dems haven't touched the upper income tax brackets in forever (they almost torpedoed the infrastructure bill so they could keep a tax break for the rich!). Education has not seen much spending difference between parties (heck, some of the biggest jumps we've seen is during Republican controlled Houses). And even Obama was proposing cuts to the corporate tax rate before Trump actually did it. Democrats and Republicans got together to undo SEC regulations on crypto just a couple months ago. The Democrats just launched "Crypto for Harris" the other day. There's a handful of economic issues they differ on. But they're incredibly minor and it's why we see almost no change in our economic policy no matter who is President. Maybe Ksyrup's friend is heavily invested in who holds seats on the NLRB, but my guess is they're just a Trump supporter who is afraid to admit it. |

I have routinely voted against my self-interest. Voting Dem is voting against my self-interest, in fact. I work in a heavily-regulated industry. Having the GOP decide who runs the FTC, CFPB, etc., instead of Elizabeth Warren woudl be much better for my business.

Talk is cheap. Actions are all that matter. Both parties have carried out nearly identical economic policies over the past few decades when in power.

It's not voting individual interests, it's voting for politicians who will likely support policies that may benefit others either at your expense or that won't benefit you at all.
I'm voting for Harris. If she supports policies that benefit lower economic classes, or that might result in my taxes increasing, I'm fine with that (as a generic issue, not knowing what the specifics of any such policy are). I'm not looking for someone to counteract my vote by voting for my interests. This isn't some quid pro quo situation.

I guess I don't understand your point. That goes without saying. I'm saying some people - like me, now - are choosing to vote against our self-interests because we see the bigger picture as way more important at this particular moment. I don't expect you or anyone else to "take up the slack" by making sure my interests are represented.
You vote how you want. If that's to help yourself, fine. I see more benefit in voting for people whose policies either don't benefit me (at least not personally, although I feel I will benefit from an authoritarian not being in office) or may actually harm me financially. I don't know whether that will in fact be the case since I fall short of the baseline household income that seems to separate rich from not rich, but there's no question that the business I am a part-owner of would benefit from the GOP being in charge of economic and market conduct policies. I'm choosing... the US, I guess?

Exactly. I still care that such programs are administered smartly, but I am choosing to vote for a party attempting to help the less fortunate rather than the party that puts callousness ahead of compassion. There was talk earlier in the thread about what happened to compassionate conservatism? That's for RINOs! Today's GOP not only is against such things, but actively speak out against in cruel terms - governors who refused to opt in to the federal free lunch program saying they don't believe in welfare, or using the ridiculous argument that there's already too much childhood obesity, or local GOP reps saying things like "hunger is relative." They aren't even primarily falling back on the typical arguments - they're just going straight to callousness - all while supporting other forms of welfare for corporations at the expense of the same people they deny benefits to. I've heard enough of that BS.

I wonder if someone's feeding him these ideas directly, he just extrapolating on some half-sentence he heard Barron read on twitter, or if he's just pulling it out of his ass entirely.

I can honestly say that as a straight, liberal white male, I've never dressed as a woman and the thought has never really been entertained in my head. It's like they hate themselves so much for having had those thoughts at some point that they have to punish the people who enjoy it.

Watching the closing ceremonies in Paris and the thought occurred to me - can you imagine Trump giving an opening/closing speech in LA in 2028 and going off-script?

Definitely panicking.
Although I still think the election is his to lose. I saw somewhere that Clinton and Biden were ahead in the polls 5% and 8% a few months before their elections and we saw how those turned out - an L and a razor-thin W. Harris might be up 2 or 3%, which is great considering where Biden was, but that trajectory needs to continue. Still, it's hard to imagine nothing but good news and error-free campaigning for another 3 months. At some point this is going to settle in. Trump, as always, is the wild card, as maybe he can do damage to himself even as Harris's momentum slows. Whatever it takes to grow the margins.

I agree that things are not as bad for Trump as even he seems to think they are.
Someone pointed out that if he flips Pennsylvania and Georgia and everything else stays the same from 2020, he gets 270 on the nose. He can basically run a two-state strategy. |
