BOOYA

Wonder how much Beyonce got? And boy I'll bet Robert DeNiro feels like an idiot about now giving it away for free.; 11/26/24, 6:37 PM

How anyone could have voted for that puzzles and worries me greatly.; 11/26/24, 6:40 PM

He can’t help himself. The song writes itself.; 11/26/24, 6:59 PM
rehajm said...: Nice. We’ve had a lone wood duck make the commute down for the winter the last two years. Seems perfectly happy to hang with whoever shows up. No sign yet but nobody’s here yet…; 11/26/24, 7:01 PM

Jersey Fled said...: Democrats always measure success in terms of money spent. Not what they actually accomplish. Which is often little or nothing. And that’s on a good day.; 11/26/24, 7:22 PM
Eva Marie said...: CFP is saying Kamala Harris looks to be inebriated in this little clip. Maybe, maybe not. But what she says is absolutely excellent. Well done VP Harris:

Gerda Sprinchorn said...: I don't get it.

Sounds very heartfelt, but vacuous. Exactly what does she mean by "power"? If her supporters still have all the power they had before the election, does that mean the election had no effect? Doesn't that conflict with her claims before the election that this was an important election? Did anything change because of the election? If so, what?

She needs to be clearer about what she means by "power".; 11/26/24, 7:38 PM
Gerda Sprinchorn said...: Oh. You are being sarcastic. You think the Harris clip is vacuous too. (I just checked the website it came from.)

Is the unedited clip available? Perhaps she tells us what she means by "power" in the larger context.; 11/26/24, 8:01 PM
Drago said...: Beyonce? Rumor has it she received $10M! Lizzo only received $2.5M or something. The "real Slim Shady" $1.5M.; 11/26/24, 8:11 PM
Gerda Sprinchorn said...: Here is the full video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvsIkwrF1Ec

The theme is to not give up and keep working for justice and ideals, etc. That, apparently, is the "power" her supporters still have. Pretty standard stuff. Still pretty vacuous, though. Its also pretty irritating if you don't like being talked down to like a child.; 11/26/24, 8:14 PM
Drago said...: Looks like the dems threw her out there to destroy any last vestiges of viability.

They are done with her.

And the blistering attack against the campaign by major mega dem donors ($1.5Billion in just 10 weeks!) seals her fate.; 11/26/24, 8:15 PM
Mason G said...: "Looks like the dems threw her out there to destroy any last vestiges of viability."

Destroy? Such a Debbie Downer. I'd bet Democrats in California would still vote for her.; 11/26/24, 8:37 PM
Aggie said...: It's been a little warmer than usual this year, but the deer have finally gone into rut, making them crazy. I had both dogs on the leash tonight, walking through the woods, and a buck stood there and watched us approach, about 30 ft away. Normally they go crashing off through the brush, snorting their warning to the herd, as soon as they glimpse movement - but there were a half dozen does, twitching their tail and we were in between, so.....; 11/26/24, 8:47 PM
TaeJohnDo said...: Great clip, thanks for sharing.; 11/26/24, 9:23 PM
Political Junkie said...: Been wondering....if Kamala was a bad candidate,and I think she was, is the fact that she lost popular vote by 2.4 million a good sign for the D's. What if they had run a good candidate, like Wes Moore or Josh Shapiro?
DJT factor is hard to evaluate, also. Millions come out to vote against DJT, but he does bring out the low propensity R leaning voters that probaly stay home for a "traditional R" candidates.

Watched 2 Way with Mark Halperin tonight. Both Mark and Alex Castelloanos think DJT will go fast in his first few months. Also think DJT will keep doing podcasts and alternative media. They speculate he might even try to behave himself a little bit better. We will see on that last one.; 11/26/24, 9:48 PM

HistoryDoc said...: Interesting quick scroll through the NY Times tonight, couple of interesting reads - mostly for the bias.

Jack Smith lionized.

Eva Marie said...: “They speculate he [the Donald] might even try to behave himself a little bit better. We will see on that last one.”
Trump is often compared to Reagan. But with this difference: With Reagan the catch phrase was “let Reagan be Reagan”.
With Trump it’s “please, please let Donald not be Donald”.
Hey, I just realized Ronald and Donald rhymes.

rhhardin said...: Power is a conglomeration of what's classically imperium, potestas, auctoritas or officium, a so-called reification error to avoid saying which you mean.; 11/27/24, 2:13 AM
Big Mike said...: I see that Walmart is the latest firm to start backing away from its previous embrace of DEI. I never saw DEI as anything other than affirmative action with quotas attached, and since i was under the impression that the courts had found quotas to be illegal, i wonder that DEI did not get slapped down years ago.; 11/27/24, 2:24 AM
Jaq said...: I am stealing this from some guy on Twitter named Mark Ames, but Harris insiders say that there was never a time in the campaign when Kamala Harris was leading, so it was basically "The Producers," a guaranteed loser, but they had over a billion dollars to spend, and spend fast. Their version of "Springtime for Hitler" was using Liz Cheney.; 11/27/24, 2:28 AM
