Portland is a good place for a riot. So, too, would be San Francisco, Seattle, LA, Chicago, NYC, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Boston, and Martha's Vineyard. Just hold back the police and fire departments and wait until they are all gone.

Take away all their privileges. All of them. Medical, financial, access. The can all go deliver mail instead.

US dollar up against the Thai baht. That's good.

Well, if Vivek does as promised, they should began hacking away at the DOJ, IRS, Education Dept asap.

Person with the biggest grin on his face tonight must be Joe Biden.

Eliminate the federal retirement system and let the feds rely solely on SSA like the people they rule over.

I'd really like to see Trump appoint Lilly Tang Williams as his ambassador to China.

I posted on AN last night that Moo Deng needed to keep his head down.

I would put in a buy market order for European defense contractors, because they are going to need to start paying their own way now.

I wonder how much that Democrat death squad executing Peanut played in all this. I'll bet it made a measurable impact.

It looks like Trump has solid enough numbers now that this will be hard to turn around. Also looks like I was wrong. I really did expect Harris to win and do so easily. And I still don't like Trump, but I do like having Tulsi and RFKjr around. I will be hoping for Tulsi in '28.

I think before all this vp stuff, Walz had the senate next in mind on his career track. That may have just been derailed.

Might be funny if Trump named Nigel Farage an Honrary Consul General and bypassed the State Department.

If this lead for Trump holds and he gets AZ, then indeed this will be very bad news for Starmer and, in particular, Lammy

That's also a dying demographic, white liberal women. They're mostly elderly baby boomers who are behind that segment of voters. By next election, there will be fewer of them still living. And fewer after that and then fewer after that. This may have been the last election they had a chance to dominate.

It's a nice pleasant, cool evening. I'm about to logoff and read a detective mystery. I'll look in on the results sometime late tomorrow morning.

I wonder what a lot of people on this forum will do without an election to obsess over? Fantasy football?

Watch out Moo Deng and make sure they don't come after you like they did the squirrel.

While I still believe Harris will win, perhaps easily, I could be wrong. One thing Trump has done, especially over the past couple of weeks, is soften some of his hard edges. He's done this through surrounding himself with Tulsi, Vivek, Elon, and even Vance. Meanwhile, the Democrats have spent the past week out executing squirrels.

The vast majority of guns in private hands are one side. The other side disarmed itself.

I don't remember if it was Joe DeRita or Joe Besser who said as soon as he walked on set and saw a seltzer bottle he knew it was there for a reason. I can see it happening in the White House, no matter who is elected.

There is no escape. If Harris wins, we will be subjected to four years of her cackling, embarrassed laughter. If Trump wins, it's another four years of listening to a guy who when he talks sounds just like Curly of the Three Stooges.

I still think Harris is going to win. I've thought so since the day she replaced Biden. Too many women upset about anti-abortion laws and some Republicans playing into their hands, such as Vance. If this does end up being the case, the irony of it all will be that Trump lost the election because of the two Catholic anti-abortion justices he put on the supreme court. I do wish polling would disappear. It is something that is grotesque, because it never ends. We'll probably be seeing polls on 6 November about candidates for 2028.

If it's a standard Thai rental contract like mine, he can give a two month notification and move anyway.

Just saw this. Good luck to him. I was just thinking about him this morning. When he left, so did the revelations about Chinese triads.
