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.

Don't know who is taking what. Wonder which of the candidates will check into the Betty Ford Center first after the election.

I think evidence of his failure at hiring good and capable staff is overwhelming.

Perhaps you should consider that most people have a life outside of Aseannow.

That's quite an assumption. How do you know people are miserable? I along with many others on this forum are quite happy in Thailand. Are you? People come here for different reasons. I came here because a Thai university asked me to do so and start up a new program at Mahidol. Over the years, people establish families and/or other close relations. I do suppose the people with an obsessive concentration on politics and constantly generating topics on this forum might make themselves miserable. OTOH, if it makes you happy, I suppose that's okay. But as for the truth of what I stated originally, which is that politics is a religion for women and sports is a religion for men, I stand by it. Who I try to avoid are all the sad souls who want to wear another man's name and number on their clothes in order to feel they belong to something, not the people smart enough to escape the hysteria and chaos of the American matriarchy.

Ultimately, the responsibility for this situation lies with American citizens. They keep voting for this, albeit indirectly. The people most displaced of course are male workers. But I can guarantee you that women will show up to vote in far greater percentages than men. This is why Trump will lose. Politics is religion for women. Sports is religion for men. So when it comes time to vote, women show up while men go to bars to talk about "footbaw."

"Trump White House Official" for ten days. Not a good look for Scaramucci or Trump. Scaramucci is unhinged. And this exemplifies more of Trump's bad hiring practices.

I'll say this for the cops, they sure aren't pikers.

Dark Mode is okay. It's a shock however to be scrolling along in dark mode and then have quoted text shine out in white. Like the option. Much better than having no dark mode at all.

No.

If Thailand joins this club of dictators, the US and Europe should remove Thailand from existing economic/trade agreements. Time for their to be consequences for actions.

Defund the Department of Education. Massive cuts for DOJ. Put the military, congress, executive, judiciary, and federal government on the same retirement system as everybody else. No Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid for non-citizens. Ban advertisements for pharmaceuticals.

Looks like the communists lied, because that's what communists do.
