That's hilarious. Your forgot the sarcasm emoji.

Yeah, except I'm not "the left". Not even close. Gaetz is a stunningly poor choice and has been an exceptionally poor member of Congress, as in AOC poor. Republican Senators are already on record stating their doubts..... "But multiple Republican senators have already signaled they have some heartburn over Gaetz, an outspoken bomb-thrower who was previously under a yearlong DOJ investigation stemming from accusations he had a sexual relationship with a minor. The DOJ ultimately did not press charges. "He will never get confirmed," a Republican senator, granted anonymity to speak freely, told Fox News Digital. One Senate Republican source simply said, "Ain’t gonna happen," about the prospect of Gaetz's confirmation." https://www.foxnews.com/politics/matt-gaetz-resigns-from-congress-over-trump-nod-attorney-general-johnson-says

Thais in LA protest....then hand her a check for one million THB. Very effective protest tactics.

Yes and....he will still require Senate confirmation. I don't believe that will happen. Rs may have a majority but they'd be fools to squander the election momentum on this tool.

Zero percent chance he gets confirmed. Zero. He's under investigation for drug charges, sex with minors, and other stupid behavior. Zero. Edit: This guy is such an idiot, he's already resigned without realizing it's not a "sure thing" that he's going to be the AG. News flash: he isn't. So now he's out of two jobs in one day.

Do you mind sharing where you purchased the fluorouracil?

TLDR.

So I guess the answer to the OP is "no".

And they did. Sucks to be you.

I'm currently visiting my son in the US (SoCal). We went out for breakfast - two coffees, one avocado toast w/salmon, one omelette with bacon/hash browns/toast. Bill was $60 USD. Crazy. Another evening - two burgers, one beer. $62 USD. Plus tip. Prices "under control", lol. No effing way.

No, he is President Trump by virtue of the fact that he held the office previously. Former presidents are still referred to as Mr. President, even after leaving office.

If you read the demographic breakdowns on the election, you'll find that more young African American males and Latino and Hispanic voters moved from the D side to the R side in this election than in previous elections. Trump's campaign experienced gains in the so-called "minority vote", despite running against a candidate that many would describe as being a minority.

No and no.

Exactly. OP habitually posts inaccurate information such as this in his zeal to bring us all "breaking news", lol.

That's what she said.

I flew out of BKK yesterday using fast track and the e-gates are now installed and operational in that area.

This is a solution in search of a problem.

The word racist for sure. Usually people mean bigoted or prejudiced when using the word racist. The word literally has somehow been co-opted to become its antonym. Many people say literally when they actually mean figuratively.

Without attempting to get into the politics of the US election: 1. The article states the US Federal Reserve will "gradually" cut rates. In other words, the previously expected tranche of consecutive rate cuts may not materialize. This doesn't necessarily "support" the dollar but it slows the weakening of the dollar that would occur if the Fed continued on their previously expected course of action. 2. When looking at what candidate Trump has proposed, it's not the spending side of the equation that's of "concern" to some, it's more the revenue side. He has proposed eliminating taxes on tips, overtime pay, and Social Security payments. That means less revenue, so even flat spending results in a greater deficit, if those things were to happen. He would also like to continue with the tax cuts he achieved during his Presidency, which are set to expire in 2025. That would also reduce incoming revenue. Add to that his tariff proposals (generally inflationary in economic theory) and we're back to higher interest rates for longer. (Disclaimer: I am not voting for either candidate and this post is in no way intended to reflect a preference or dislike for either of the US presidential election candidates.)

Nate Silver is no longer associated with 538, btw. ABC news bought it.

False. No assessable income, no need to file a tax return.

Sorry, I don't understand the question as you've written it.....? If you are asking if I think the early voting is higher than during COVID19 - or because of COVID19 - I'd venture to guess that COVID19 got people used to voting early and they realized it's a lot easier than standing in a line for hours on election day.

OP seems politically savvy enough to know but referring to this as "early voting results" is not exactly accurate. There are no "results" yet - just demographics of early voters. "It’s unclear what this means for the election, however. The early vote data only reveals whether voters are registered with a party, not who they are voting for, and the early electorate can change from day to day as more people vote early. The surge in 2020 Democratic early voting was largely a reaction to a pandemic that no longer exists, skewing historic comparisons. And what might seem like demographic trends in the early vote can suddenly disappear once Election Day votes are factored in." https://apnews.com/article/early-vote-records-trump-harris-1c219d0d27d56996388f2e2be5a58fac

I just received a text from Japan - "Yeah, we don't think so...."

The poster to whom you are replying lives in Georgia, USA. He couldn't hack it in Thailand but logs on here occasionally to slag on those of us who live here. The vast majority of his posts are during burning season when he tells us how much smarter he is than everyone else for moving away from CM to the US. I'd put him on ignore but I'm entertained by his ignorance and self-congratulatory tunnel vision.
