Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, November 06, 2024

The Associated Press called North Carolina for Donald Trump just after 11 p.m. ET, cementing the former president's first swing state win in the 2024 race. Most Election Day polling sites across the United States have closed and results and data are starting to come in. The presidential races in Pennsylvania and Georgia, key swing states for both candidates, are too close to call.

Harris up 1-4 points in IN over what Biden did in red areas. This is great news for WI, MI and PA as similar demographics.

------- would need to improve with those demographics to win those states, he is losing.

Georgia not looking good. HUGE swing of independents to ------- from Biden in 2020

This is my America:

Both of the final living survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre have voted in what may be their last presidential election. Viola Ford Fletcher is 110 and Lessie Benningfield Randle will be 110 on Sunday. We're told they both voted for Vice President Kamala Harris.

Republican rural votes come in a lot faster than Dem big city votes.

Which is why last time Trump claimed victory before the Blue Shift caught up and passed the Red Mirage.

And is what he will do this time, too, as Trumpers never did catch on that this is a phenomena of national elections.

Looking at FL:

Trump up by 12.4% with 87% reporting, this compares to Trump +4% in 2020.

Further, Kamala's total vote count in FL will not match Biden, probably down ~6% from 2020.

Also, Missouri called early, which would point to no big effect from Iowa poll. Either that poll was just plain out wrong or it was relevant for IA only.

Don't know where you saw that, but Amendment 4 has 57% Yes. If Harris was getting that she'd win the state.

The issue with the amendments is that they have to get 60% to pass and DeSantis illegally spent $50 million of taxpayer money to campaign against them, trying to keep them under that requirement.

Every locality that has legalized weed has weed smoked EVERYWHERE. In parks, walking down the street, everywhere. Weed needs to be demonized like tobacco. If you smoke weed, you are not cool or edgy.

Wasn't just the courts. The State (governor/AG) - despite the absolute majority voting for it - refused to fight the case in the USSC and thereby directly ignoring the will of the people. The whole idea around propositions to to bypass the legislature that ignores what they want so it is decided by direct vote. However, the Dems still found a way to ignore their will by refusing to fight it in court.

Dems: "But she has good policies! You just haven't read them!"

So what?

Just remember who called it. I said this was going to be the issue that could sink her. I said it repeatedly.

I got called out repeatedly for just being "ignorant" of her policies.

No coherent message that she got out to the mid and low information voters on these issues. Ever.

POLICIES ARE NOT A ------- MESSAGE AND PREACHING THEM TO THE CHOIR AT YOUR OWN GOD DAMN RALLIES DOESN'T CONVINCE ANYONE OUTSIDE YOUR BUBBLE.

Nope. They don't. That's not a message to stupid people.

Harris had virtually no messaging on taxes, jobs, inflation, or immigration.

Policies? Yes. Messaging? No.

Ironically she moved right on everything, tried to stay above the fray, and lost. If she won, we'd be hearing she won by breaking with the Woke crowd and by being a uniter rather than a divider. Instead that's why she lost according to the data.

She needed progressive messaging that spoke directly to what people are worried about. And she didn't do that.

Harris had virtually no messaging on taxes, jobs, inflation, or immigration.

She messaged more on the economy, jobs and taxes than Trump did the final three months -- and her support for the bipartisan immigration bill Trump torpedoed was a strong message.

If she loses it is because America wants more of Trump demonizing "enemies," talking a big game, creating lots of mean-spirited distractions and accomplishing nothing he says he is going to accomplish.

If you thought that was a strong message, you need to get out of the echo chamber. Maybe it played well with low information voters (the Democrat base) but everyone who understands the issue is happy that it was killed. What Kamala, and Joe, could never explain is that they CAUSED the problem through EO and 'fixed' it via EO without needing any GOP support. They could have fixed from day 1 but waited 3.5 years because it was not a problem for them until deep blue city mayors started crying.

She needed progressive messaging that spoke directly to what people are worried about. And she didn't do that.

What progressive position was she going to bring on any of those?

She needed to message on those period.

Inflation is back to normal. Jobs are what I would expect for where we are economically and aren't a negative.

Taxes...what would be the message? They would increase? Stay the same?

Immigration was always going to be an anchor around her neck. They thought avoiding it would make it go away. They were wrong.

Interesting that Kamala is winning amongst those with family incomes of $100k to $200k and also over $200k. Trump winning with those whose family incomes are $30k to $100k. Kamala also wins with those under $30k.

I would have bet everything that Trump would be winning by far with the upper income groups.

Nope. But the Dems should have planned for a one term Biden admin. That had to have known 4 years would render Biden incapable of a second term...or, at least planned for it. Planning for it would have meant a better pick than a mediocre, back of the pack 2020 candidate from a solidly blue state that brought nothing to the table beyond shallow identity politic --------.

She was able to make millions of voters enthusiastic and fired up to support her.

That's yet to be seen. Last I saw, both were in the 50 million something vote range with zero large states left and significant portions of votes already counted. I'd be genuinely surprised if vote counts increase by enough to support your assertion above.

If anything, it seems like the same people who could be relied upon to vote just voted earlier.

The major one being the global order that gave boomers and older Gen X the prosperity they've become accustomed to is about to come crashing down. Your greed made you stupid and we're all going to pay for it.

A second one being the economic pain isn't going to be relieved. In fact, they've already told you it will get worse.

I don't think you have a clue what you're unleashed upon not only the US but the world.

I was talking about the millions of voters in the Democratic base, not the general election. I think you should be able to admit that Harris generated enthusiasm among a lot of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents.

If a song makes you run faster in place, does it actually help you?

If cardio is your goal, yes. If distance is your goal, no.

Increasing enthusiasm among people who were going to vote for you anyway is meaningless. Much like running in place faster is meaningless if distance run is your objective.

You're missing the point. More enthusiasm among people you didn't need to convince is meaningless. Those people talking to people they can't convince is equally as meaningless.

No, I was making well over $250K (as salary) a year when the plandemic hit. That was the hard part. I had a lot of my personal money tied up in the company in stock options.

The 4 year Biden administration was supposed to vanquish MAGA and instead it enabled it to become more powerful.

I had joked about Joe Biden having the same initials as that other brain-addled old white guy POTUS, James Buchanan, but when history looks back on his administration, it will be considered at the same level as Buchanan's- a complete and utter failure that tore the country in two and led to a hot civil war.

So once again, due to stupidity and hubris, America becomes its own worst enemy. And the ones who will invariably pay will be the poor and oppressed around the world.

Ukraine's war will be over shortly. - Never should have started in the first place but when you have a weak Dem leader, them's the breaks.

Israel will soon have the most beautiful developments rivaling Monte Carol on the west coast of expanded Israel. - Or Israel will finally get peace from a group of people that attacked and killed 1200 civilians...oh, and a group of people Israel provided autonomy and independence to years ago but the group of people proved they don't want to be left alone, they want to kill all Jews. The evidence is all out there, you just have to be objective and cut the puppet strings of your party.

Oh - and Palestinians won't be a problem any longer. - For the world's sake, let's hope so. Not that they are killed but that they finally accept Israel wants nothing to do with them and just wants to exist (you know, like liberals are saying Palestinians want but hypocritically do not want that for Israel).

We're not going to have Income taxes any longer. Everything will be paid for by tariffs that companies in other nations will pay. - Thus leading to more jobs in America; the job creation numbers in the last few months don't lie.

There's going to be a little "bump" as our new bestie China adjusts to the tariffs. Russia and North Korea, though, will immediately be our new besties. Beautiful love letters. - You mean having good relations with foreign entities. I am trying to figure out exactly when Dems decided that having good relations with other countries became a bad thing (without injecting made up conspiracies).

Trump will heal us all. Partly by disappearing those nasty people that have "threatened" him. - You mean like the Clinton's have been doing for decades now? Btw, even though both statements are stupid, there is way more evidence proving the guilt of Clinton's than there is with Trump, just saying.

And jobs for Americans will be plentiful, a large part of those jobs will be manning deportation camps. - So getting rid of people here illegally seems to be a worse proposition than turning Americans against each other, e.g. thousands of new IRS agents to ensure we all are controlled as much as possible. Oh, and jobs that solely exist to DEIvide Americans instead of trying to build bridges.

Prices will go back to what they were before inflation. Never mind the way economics actually works - or FVM/PVM concepts. Those are all nonsense perpetrated by "The Elite" of "Economics". - Dems have sat in the POTUS seat the last 12 of 16 years and the economy has been the same beast as it has always been. The only thing truly wrecking our economy are partisan people thinking we live in an economic utopia whenever their party is in the seat, thus not doing anything effective to try to make it actually better.

When you look at the country through objective eyes and not through your puppet masters' strings, things get a lot clearer. I'm not saying anything I've written above is true but they are just as viable as anything you've said. Get rid of your fearmongering and partisan ideology and you will be a much happier person and an American doing what is best for America.

My theory. They didn't want this, first, because there wasn't simply enough time. Would have been very chaotic and made the party look bad right up against an election with in-fighting.

But secondly, I don't think they wanted to expose really good candidates in such a short period of time. That's why Newsome or Shapiro, etc. wanted no part of this. They rolled the dice with Harris and lost. Those guys will be formidable in 2028 esp if a Trump regime goes as I suspect.

My game plan is to live the healthiest life I can, mentally, physically, emotionally and spiriitually, for as long as I can. I'm not sure how long that will be if Trump tanks the economy as Musk says he intends to do and if he puts RFK Jr in charge of healthcare. I will always be grateful for the country that offered the medical care that allowed me to overcome Stage 3B ovarian cancer and that gave my significant other a second chance at life through the miracle of a new kidney.

For those of you who educated me, made me laugh, gave me hope and offered empathy, I thank you.

Exactly, Yav. My friend wasn't a Nazi either despite the fact that he was forced to be part of the Hitler youth program.

She brought up having a friend that came from Germany when the Nazi party was just starting, closed it off with a phrase he used that was loving.

You yelped for being called a Nazi.

You figure it out.
Or don't.

Go ahead, it doesn't matter. The ------- Supreme Court will harm our country for the next 100 years. More justices means that there is more likely to be deaths that can replace the justice by a dem president (if we actually have presidents in the future).

Since the secured border cannot be separated from mass deportation, how will mass deportation impact Americans?

How will Americans benefit from having many many fewer low wage workers?

What effect will that have on prices?

Do you know? Do you understand?

What will be the effect on prices of kicking out the majority of, say, seasonal agricultural workers? Will prices to Americans rise or fall?

This country will thrive on a reduction of illegal border crossings. It will also translate to a reduction in human and sex trafficking as well as a reduction in fentanyl trafficking.

You must be feeling guilty or paranoid or something. I brought up my friend who grew up in Nazi Germany, who I have mentioned before, because I wanted to quote from his radio show sign off:

My friend Herman, who grew up in Nazi Germany and moved to America in his early 20's, had a Germany music program at a local radio station late in his life. His signature sign off was, "Be very kind to each other and remember who loves you."

And truth be told, visitor, I wasn't even talking to you. I was talking to the people I was thanking and wishing them well:

"For those of you who educated me, made me laugh, gave me hope and offered empathy, I thank you."

Your ignorance is duly noted. We thrive on all forms of immigration. The undocumented do the jobs that Americans won't do. As far as Fentanyl. That's not an immigration problem. Do educate yourself before you opine Jeff.

How will America "thrive on a reduction of illegal border crossings". Please be specific. I have presented specific issues. Please address them

As for fentanyl, you are simply wrong

But most fentanyl is being trafficked by American citizens, not migrants. Data from the United States Sentencing Commission shows that 86.4 percent of those sentenced for trafficking fentanyl were U.S. citizens. Among non-citizens, the data includes those lawfully present and undocumented.

PS As I said, my friend grew up in Nazi Germany, moved to the US in his early 20's, joined the Marines, became a US citizen, married and raised his family here. He was not a Nazi. He was, however, of German descent, which is why he had a German music program late in his life.

If I wanted to accuse you of being a friggin' Nazi, I would have, but like I said, I wasn't even talking to you. Maybe you're the one who should grow up, eh?

www.npr.org

Prosecutors and defense lawyers say Haley's story is typical; the vast majority of illicit fentanyl " close to 90% " is seized at official border crossings. Immigration authorities say nearly all of that is smuggled by people who are legally authorized to cross the border, and more than half by U.S. citizens like Haley. Virtually none is seized from migrants seeking asylum.

Again

"illegal border crossings" are done, primarily, by undocumented immigrant workers.

these immigrant workers perform low paying work in agriculture and construction.

Removing these people from the labor force will cause labor prices to rise. More labor removed, more labor prices increase. that is basic economics, supply and demand.

Labor prices increase will have 2 impacts.

1. a reduction in the supply of those products generated by that labor, i.e. fewer crops harvested-this has already been seen after immigrant crackdowns
2. an increase in the price to produce those products passed onto the consumer

this is all basic basic stuff and something NEVER refuted by anti-immigrant folk

Oh yeah and removing the undocumented workers will result in less spending and lower taxes paid, including tax paid by people that don't qualify for the benefits that those taxes pay for. So basically just a cut in tax receipts

Think how crazy an undocumented immigrant would have to be to smuggle drugs in-they would be putting all of their efforts to get into America at risk.

And think how insane it is that cartels would want to take chances smuggling drugs in with undocumented immigrants.

This is such a sensitive political topic, it's hard to believe anybody when it's being discussed.

But let me promise you this......we're going to get the labor.

legal or illegal. Take your pick

Don't worry, when Trump and company --- up the economy like Republican adminstrations are capable of doing - esp with a guy like Trump running the show - they'll blame they were "handed a mess" and Dems will again bail out the country.

But no worries, the top 1% will truly benefit. The R's are like an alien that sucks the life out of a economy then leaves it behind for cleanup.

Why not? R's already "packed" the court with their poltical antics involving Garland and Coney Barrett.

I never knew the rule was when a sitting president has the Senate - you just push it right through regardless of an pending election.

But when you don't - you delay it until the next presidential election where the people can decide (eye roll)............

Here, let me lay this to rest quickly.

the left is NOT for allowing the flow of virtual slave labor.

We are for a rigorous and healthy immigration policy that allows for a significant number of workers, who are paid and treated justly.

We are for a secure border allowing immigrants to come in legally, work, pay taxes, have decent working conditions.

-------- plan is NOT that.

You have been informed.
