Post O' the Day!

Trumpers ar SO proud!

Here's some good takes on the Mid-Term Election itself:

"A whiplash election year enters its final stretch as Trump holds wild cards

The president is sitting on more than $400 million that could shape the election's trajectory. And Trump's gilded remake of Washington stands in contrast to the economic anxiety many Americans are expressing.

The wealth he has amassed in office has no modern presidential precedent, with Trump taking in $1.2 billion from his crypto businesses last year, according to a federal filing released this summer."

and

"Democrats are confident they can win the handful of seats they need to regain control of the House. There may be a path to flipping the Senate if they can hold on in states like Georgia, Michigan and New Hampshire while winning Republican-held seats in places like Maine, Texas, Iowa or Ohio.

But the party is also aiming to regain ground outside of Washington. Democrats are devoting resources, in particular, to the governors' races in Georgia, Ohio, Iowa, and Nevada, all currently held by Republicans."

Perpetual Winner of the Auntie-Lucidity Award since the dark day he first appeared here.

Of course, also being the Perfect Reverse Barometer in every post has value in itself.

Fortunately they didn't win a Majority, so they won't have their way on everything.

But, hey, a Nazi salute from the world's richest Nazi sure did help!

- give Zed mouth to mouth.

Well, Eberly... this is of course between consenting adults, but do be sure that Zed consents!

Which is of course why he needs to restrict voters freedom with trying to ban mail-in ballots, which he himself uses all the time, aggressive redistricting by race and political affiliation, LYING about the economy, the War, immigrants, and having armed masked thugs at the Polls.

Obviously Eberly thinks he's in some kind of boxing match here on the Retort... which might be explained by his wife being the Undisputed Champ at home.

Making posts personal rather than substantive more often than not is well illustrated by this quote:

"Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people."

That's Eleanor Roosevelt (possibly via historian Henry Thomas Buckle)

Of, course, I could be called small-minded for mentioning that, but it's not 90 percent of my posts.

Yep, Zed.... lots of ICE at the polls.

Prolly Bonuses for Bullet holes!

- Zed can't really make a point,

Zed is one of our most lucid posters, and always has been.

And speaking of, 'has beens'.... that would be the entire Republican Party after Trump.

- a Nazi reference

Perfectly legit considering how well the current Republican Admin fits the dictionary definition of Fascism.

"Trump is underwater in every major swing state on Labor Day, with deficits widening in several battlegrounds.

Kentucky, Ohio, Texas and Nevada have all seen declines of more than 25 points since the start of Trump's second term.

Only three states still give Trump a double-digit positive net approval rating.

Young voters, independents and postgraduates remain among the groups most negative toward the president.

Every Major Battleground State Is Underwater
The most politically important trend remains Trump's standing in the states likely to determine control of Congress.

Trump is underwater in every major swing state:

Arizona: -18
Florida: -13
Georgia: -25
Nevada: -25
North Carolina: -18
Ohio: -19
Pennsylvania: -20
Wisconsin: -19

Florida has moved from +9 to -13. Ohio has fallen from +8 to -19. Nevada has shifted from 0 to -25. North Carolina has dropped from 0 to -18."

More Great News a the Link! (bwahaha!)

Very Happy Labor Day!

"Expectations in Kyiv are extremely low. The Zelenskyy administration believes it is important for them to get a real sense of the impact of Russia's war and is grateful for their visit, which would come after months of efforts to get them to visit the Ukrainian capital.

But senior officials do not expect any breakthroughs, as Russia shows no interest in ending its war and is instead expected to escalate its campaign in the coming months in a bid to pound Kyiv into submission."

"Both Russia and Ukraine have said they will halt strikes on each others' capital cities for three days while the delegation conducts its visit.

Zelensky said on Saturday that he had spoken to the envoys, who have "already begun working with the Russian side today".

"The plan for tomorrow's diplomatic engagements in Kyiv, involving the US team, has been approved. We are waiting for Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and are ready for a substantive conversation," he added.

"From now through the end of Saturday, as well as on Sunday and Monday, Ukraine is ready to refrain from strikes on Moscow, and we expect the Russians to do the same regarding Kyiv."

Russian state media reported that President Vladimir Putin had ordered a halt to strikes on Kyiv for three days due to the US visit."

Vlad's Oligarchs are getting ancy... they don't have a lot of places to run to if the People finally rise up, and the coming full subscription of large numbers of troops might just be the last straw.

"Poland to restrict low-altitude flights along eastern border

The measures are intended to give Poland's air-defense systems more room to respond to potential threats from the war in neighboring Ukraine.

Defense Minister Wadysaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said on Thursday that, following an escalation in "Russian provocations and acts of aggression," Poland would strengthen protection of its airspace by increasing the activity of F-16 fighter jets and military helicopters.

Kosiniak-Kamysz's announcement came on the same day that Polish fighter jets intercepted a Russian IL-20 reconnaissance aircraft about 40 km north of Ustka on the Baltic Sea." more
