Remember when in 2020, Biden ran on the platform of outlawing internal combustion engines by 2030? Me neither, but he did it for us anyway! God bless Joe Biden! Imagine the surprises Harris has in store for us!

Tim Walz says, "Hold my beer." No doubt, it's another missing apostrophe or stutter.

"That guy, that gay guy," Walz said of Musk while talking about taxes on the campaign trail in Michigan.

He's calling Musk a "faggot." That's what he's doing.

Very well composed. But more horizontals. Hopefully in her late period Ann will experiment with verticals.

"The news isn’t October only adding 12,000 jobs.

The news is that the private sector lost 28,000 jobs!

Yes, all 12,000 jobs added in October are in the public sector. In other words, government jobs."

They lie to us about EVERYTHING.

No. 3 is pretty damn good. Almost kinetic. Like the copse of trees the other day.

Wendybar. Slight math problem. Total government jobs is 40k. 12k net plus the 28k lost in private would mean 40k of new government jobs.

Ahead of one of America's most polarizing presidential elections, a new poll reveals the Democrat-favored catchphrase that may be turning Latino voters toward Republicans. The term 'Latinx', often used by liberals, is used as a gender-neutral term to refer to people of Latin American descent or cultural identity. New research suggests that not only do many Latinos dislike the word, the term itself may even be pushing them to vote for Donald Trump. - UK Telegraph

Nobody likes a scold. The Democrats have become the party of scolds.

Iman ayon kay ...

A guy that routinely comes running out on stage from his closeted position, flapping his arms, pansy-slapping his heart, pointing to imaginary acquaintances, and mincing back and forth with that Boston Terrier face of his doesn’t have much credibility when he accuses others.

Duck, duck, duck, duck... diverse quackers, quacking, in a family flock.

Big Mike ayon kay ...

@Wendybar, the numbers are a bit worse than that. The net of + 12,000 is composed of a net 40,000 government jobs offset by a net negative 28,000 private sector jobs. Why we should be losing jobs when the private sector should be spooling up for the holiday season has not been explained. Also not explained is what we are going to do when there are more gov’t jobs than we can collect taxes to support.

Iman ayon kay ...

And the usual spectacular photos that we are gifted with on a steady basis.

Coach Tim's habits die hard: shaming a player by calling him gay (and taking obvious delight in the Michigan crowd's reaction) is who he is.

Seconded!.

Looking forward to "falling back one hour" on Saturday night/Sunday morning. Daylight been a little too late in the day for my tastes.

Mason G ayon kay ...

"Also not explained is what we are going to do when there are more gov’t jobs than we can collect taxes to support."

Well, of course at that point, there will be layoffs of government workers and cuts to retirement benefits for those remaining.

Or not. Your call.

FormerLawClerk ayon kay ...

There are ALREADY more government jobs than we can collect taxes to support. The US government runs an almost $2 trillion annual deficit.

What happens is the Treasury prints money. They don't care if your loaf of bread costs $8 and a dozen eggs costs $6 and gas is $5.75 a gallon. They get THEIRS.

@ Iman - Maybe Tampon Tim is just telling us how fabulous his gaydar is.

""If there was ever any doubt, this action makes clear that the Chinese government will use supply chains as a weapon..." - via ZeroHedge

LO f*g L. Where did they learn that trick? The Chinese stopped supplying US military drone makers with parts. You know who said that we shouldn't be exporting all of our strategic manufacturing to China? Donald John Trump, that's who.

Lem Vibe Bandit ayon kay ...

Love these pictures.

Jaq ayon kay ...

Whoever wins the White House next week will take office with no shortage of challenges, but at least one huge asset: an economy that is putting its peers to shame.

With another solid performance in the third quarter, the U.S. has grown 2.7% over the past year. It is outrunning every other major developed economy, not to mention its own historical growth rate.
- WSJ

Well our peers can't borrow four or five trillion dollars a year to keep their economies going, government spending goes into GDP, and European economies have been gut shot by the sanctions against Russia. Europe needs the raw materials that Russia has in abundance, and Russia can replace European manufacturing with Chinese manufacturing without breaking a sweat. So Europe lost the Russian market, which now looks to China for, among other things, automobiles, all due to sanctions, and Europe lost access to cheap Russian energy and other resources due to Biden's "Smoot Hawley Sanctions," as I call them.

Heck of a job Joe!

lonejustice ayon kay ...

Stunningly beautiful photos.

I just finished reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelley yesterday (Halloween appropriately). An amazing novel. It is absolutely nothing like the movies and cartoons you may be familiar with. It is pure Gothic horror at its highest form. It will keep you up at night thinking about it. Shelley was only 18 years old when she started writing it. But I guess if you are married to Percy Shelley and go out drinking and partying with Lord Byron then some of that genius would rub off on you. I highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed. Trust me.

FormerLawClerk ayon kay ...

Ha! They should try that. See how many people get killed.

Mason G ayon kay ...

A Rasmussen poll reports that 83% of Republicans and 55% of Democrats are "very or somewhat concerned" that the outcome of the 2024 will be affected by cheating.

Should be: "2024 election".

The Cracker Emcee Refulgent ayon kay ...

I believe the Democrats will succeed in stealing the election, but the fraud awareness this time is orders of magnitude greater than in 2020. Even the apolitical talk about Democrat fraud like it’s a given. It’ll be interesting to see how things play out.

Mason G ayon kay ...

"I believe the Democrats will succeed in stealing the election..."

Over half of Democrats are concerned (that there won't be enough fraud, no doubt), so there's that.

Love the first pic, and not just because of all the ducks. Maybe it's how the dark clouds cap the yellow light just above the skyline.

@Iohn Henry, in case you wander past this thread, please tell me that Puerto Rico is not as trashy as that comedian suggests. Later this winter the wife and I have planned a 50th anniversary trip to a hotel on Condado Beach. We’ve booked a sightseeing excursion to historical old San Juan, including Fort San Cristobal and El Morro. Also another day trip to El Yunque forest. Any other sightseeing trips you’d advise us to try to take? And is the beach okay for swimming? Of should we stay by the hotel pool? Your advice would be appreciated.

At the end we will board a small ship (not. one of those 4000-5000 passenger cruise ships) and see some of the Leeward Islands, like Tortola, St. Thomas, and St John, among others.

Musk tweeted (x'd?) that it would be great to have Ron Paul as part of the Department of Government Efficiency. Paul tweeted back that he'd be happy to talk about it.

The people the Trump/Vance team are attracting certainly come from a broad spectrum of political ideologies.

It's not just that they're scolds. People get cranky when other people try to change their language.

I'll get 5 hours of overtime instead of 4. Seems none of the new government employees added are boiler operators... I'm looking at 12-18 hours of OT a week for the foreseeable future. Until 3 months after someone is hired, since that's the time directives say a new operator must operate under instruction... a month on each shift.

Oh horrors! How right you are Inga, no President EVER shouted at underlings who had failed to do their job correctly.

THIS is what you are voting for Lefties. THIS is what you VOTED for when you VOTED for Biden. YOU did this. YOUR side opened up the border wide, and let rapists, murderers and terrorists in. The blood and agony is all over your bodies. Stew in it. YOU did this.

I think Trump has more poise under pressure than Kamala Harris does. Who has been tested like him? And he's still going strong, mixing policy with stories and humor with grace.

Mark Cuban a guy who thinks he's hot stuff but he's absolutely nothing I surround myself with the strongest of women this guy's such a fool he's constantly on TV being critical and only for the reason that I tuned him out completely while President because he called me incessantly very insecure guy major loser always has been always will be nobody likes him nobody respects him and he's unattractive both inside and out

Hats off to the voters in Bucks County, PA who refused to have their votes taken away by an election commission that did everything they could to send them home. From fake election officials to uniformed law enforcement officials who closed down the lines to intentionally undermanning polling sites to cause 6 hour delays. These voters are the heroes of the 2024 election.

MrsX ayon kay ...

Exactly TIV. There’s ample documentation that Mary wrote the book. And as one critic says, "The style of Frankenstein is, to be brutal, clotted and pedestrian. [Percy] Shelley didn't write it, and if he did, it would be kinder not to say so." Excellent creative thinking from Percy’s 18 year old girlfriend, later wife, though.
