unfortunate last name

Well, on a positive note for the future he has the opportunity to redeem the name, and no one is going to remember who the fuck Vivek was in about a year beyond political junkies.  Hell, 90% of Americans couldn't tell you who Vivek is now.  

The kid has a shot a carving a political future if he wants, he may just need to pick a more favorable district.  This is clearly a young man with ambition, so I doubt he's a one and done kind of guy.

Washington crossed the Delaware in the middle of winter at night for this nation and you can’t be bothered to cross the Potomac?  


He did it then; he would do it now.

Closest Chilis is in Alexandria, VA.  I love you guys, but I am not crossing the Potomac for you

While Armybrat did indeed think that, he never actually said it to General Washington.  You should reconsider.

DAMMIT! 30 seconds late!

Kamala Harris’s journey to the presidency began in her childhood, growing up in a multicultural family that cherished community and togetherness. Every Friday, her family would gather at their local Chili’s, where the sizzling fajitas and endless chips and salsa sparked a love for both food and camaraderie. It was here, amid the laughter and warmth, that young Kamala developed her belief in inclusivity and the importance of community bonds.

As she grew older, Kamala discovered a fierce admiration for Aubrey Plaza. The actress’s wit, confidence, and unapologetic authenticity resonated deeply with her. Inspired by Aubrey’s unique approach to life, Kamala began to envision a future where everyone could love freely, leading her to champion LGBTQ+ rights passionately. 

The more Kamala learned about the challenges faced by marginalized communities, the more determined she became to fight for equality. She often joked with friends that her desire to protect gay marriage was fueled not just by her commitment to justice, but also by her aspiration to one day share a margarita at Chili’s with Aubrey Plaza, celebrating love in all its forms.

Fueled by her love for Chili’s and a heart full of ambition, Kamala decided to take her passion to the national stage. Her dream became clear: to unite the country, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their love story, could feel the same warmth she felt on those Friday nights. With every step of her political journey, she carried the spirit of Chili’s and the inspiration of her girl crush, ready to make history and create a more inclusive future for all.

I feel like some areas of this tale could benefit greatly from additional detail. Go back and put some more quarters in the AI machine. And don't be  shy about dropping in a video prompt.

I'm sorry.  This is bullshit.  These states need to be able to count their votes for fucking Thursday.  This happened last time.  It was Friday and Saturday and they were still dicking around.  Meanwhile, states like FL are essentially done that night.  I understand the reasons but there needs to be some uniformity.  Otherwise, you get the election conspiracy types.  "THEY'RE FINDING VOTES!!!"

Hopefully, we're not waiting on NV again this year.  Then again, if we are, we can at least revisit the Nevada count memes one more time ...

This exchange includes "I have the right to choose in Michigan, so why should I care about a national freedom to choose?" The selfishness of that argument is the opposite of Democrat ideology and just exudes Trumpism, and I bet she already voted for him a week ago.

All I know is after watching that MI video that most Americans will make the right call, but all kinds of stupid still exists. I think it goes deeper than normal politics, and shows that some of these people were just raised without the ability to see beyond themselves or with an understanding of what accountability is and how it works. 

It's the biggest downfall with the rise of the internet/social media.

Throughout all of human history, stupid people would voice their stupid ideas in their community, get shunned, and (all but the most insane individuals) would then reconsider/adjust their beliefs in an attempt to appease our innate desire to belong.

Now, stupid people have the ability to leave their immediate communities and seek out communities full of other stupid people, thus eliminating the need to reconsider anything.  

The "information superhighway" unfortunately includes an HOV lane for people with IQs under 90.

It's as if MAGA lives with a different value system- I Got Mine, F U- and needs to be shown the practical long-term benefits to everyone, including themselves, of having a critical mass of of the population that adheres to treating others the way they want to be treated.

I've been saying the same for years. All the village idiots are able to communicate with one another now. Downfall of our society.

Well, I told Mrs GOTJ about the Wednesday Call to Arms (full of drinks & skillet queso) @ Chili's. Since she waitressed at one part time for a couple years as an undergrad thirty years ago & her ex actually managed the one off I35 by Lincoln Village she said "hell to the fucking no."

I may swing by the Chili's off Pecan Park by Lakeline Mall for a quick beer or two.

And this is how the fascists win. 

Actually, for those who can't/won't make it to a Chili's I recommend restaurants owned by immigrants, women, or POC.  They have the biggest jeopardy in this thing, and I know I ain't driving 4 hours to Spokane for a fucking Chilis.

Trump campaign:

Low energy
Empty rallies
Rushing out memos and polls from junk pollsters to offset Selzer, or even fake polls (Ryan Fournier)
"Please vote or I'm in big trouble"
Relying on the lowest propensity voters (young men) to show up and save him
Already calling it rigged, Dems cheating, etc.
Already having campaign leaks shifting blame
Insiders in the GOP already blasting warning bells about women/senior women abandoning Trump
No ground game

Harris campaign:

Big (dick) energy
Packed rallies in swing states
No leaking, no backstabbing (yet)
Know they have the highest propensity voters banked already (older women, young women, college educated voters, black voters)
Pure confidence from the likes of Nancy Pelosi, David Plouffe, etc. 
No one sounding the warnings about lack of enthusiasm, ground game, etc. (no 2016 Debbie Dingell sounding the alarms)
Such a huge ground game, they've had to turn away people 

Amazing.

Could be responsible for record gains in Chili’s stock on Wednesday 

Fify.

It’s so fucking funny that the guys who do nothing but ratfuck couldn’t come up with anything this year except “Tim Walz fucked a Chinese woman so well that 30 years later she still wants him” and on the day before the election have resorted to possibly their most bizarre internet-brained shit yet with this squirrel nonsense.

It’s obviously indicative of something deeply wrong with our society that these jokers were able to come so close, but at the same time they’re just going to get more and more like this and it ain’t gonna help them politically.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who saw the transparency of that Atlantic article.  It's like it was written by LaCivita.

Note that Cheung didn't really deny it- just deflected.

I've just figured all along that if Trump wins, Cheung is going to be press secretary.  Imagine that.

Yeah, it was a pretty classic "start laying the blame for the loss now" type of article.  That's like, the last thing you want to do the weekend before the Election - it does not display confidence internally. 

"“People are calling this the most disciplined campaign they’ve ever seen,” Trump remarked to friends at a fundraiser this summer, according to someone who heard the conversation."

Can someone point out which article is being referenced here? There's a half dozen on Trump on their website.

Based on the snippets I’ve seen out of Milwaukee and Dane county, I have a hard time seeing wisky being that close. 

That was my hope before the election. Same states as 2020 but pick up NC.

Is Maine 2 not competitive?

Pennsylvania weekend firewall:

D-R: 409k

D-R + 70-30 indie split: 492k

One final drop tomorrow of the mail should get it to 500k?

Not built to be, but I did see a poll over the weekend from UNH that had ME-02 48-44 Trump.
