We have unhappy news: Jeff Bezos thinks you are an idiot. Don't feel too bad, though, because he thinks we are idiots, too. Facing a rebellion from the staff of The Washington Post, not to mention an exodus of subscribers, he published an op-ed yesterday explaining why he spiked the paper's endorsement of Kamala Harris. In short, it was about integrity: read more

"It may be little, but that's no secret," you're saying right now. But that is not what we are talking about. Nope, we mean something else said at the now-infamous Madison Square Garden rally (see above). Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) was there to participate, and also to remind everyone watching that he doesn't actually care about the values expressed in the Bible (if he did, he would not have remained on stage while the others spewed their bile). When Trump announced Johnson on stage, the former president said: "We can take the Senate pretty easily, and I think with our little secret we are gonna do really well with the House. Our little secret is having a big impact. He and I have a little secret"we will tell you what it is when the race is over."
Allow us to begin today by reminding readers of one of the most famous "October Surprise" stories in American history. On October 29, 1884, Reverend Samuel D. Burchard gave a speech on behalf of then-GOP nominee James G. Blaine. And, in an attempt to fire up Republican voters prior to the election, the good reverend thundered: "We are Republicans, and don't propose to leave our party and identify ourselves with the party whose antecedents have been Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion." That was not the wisest thing to say in a city full of Irish Catholics, who all heard the news within 24 hours, thanks to New York City's thriving newspaper trade (there were five successful dailies at that time). Blaine lost New York State by just 1,149 votes, and the election 219 electoral votes to 182. If you flip the Empire State's 36 EVs, then Blaine wins election, 218-183.
FiveThirtyEight has some advice about predicting the winner of the presidential election: Flip a coin. In four of the swing states, the margin is less than 1 point; in the other three it is less than 2 points. The margin of errors on these things is typically 4 points or so, not counting methodological errors. With numbers like that, all seven could go one way or the other way and it could end up being a landslide in the Electoral College in either direction.

That's not what the doctor says.
We're all concerned for you, brother.
Thanks, Gal.
In this case, without my identifying it as such, it could have been a post from any thread, Nooner or other.
But we all are our host's guests and, as such, I'll take your kind advice and consider it a hard and fast rule.

This was from this morning's Nooner, along with my retort:
"------- vs garbage."

In this interesting equation, the "-------" are sentient beings.
Garbage, however, is not. In fact, garbage is incapable of any thought.
Interesting.

Hey, many people confirmed that you're JeffJ.
Why don't you just come clean, and admit that you're JeffJ?
"BTW, OBGYNs are fleeing TX as fast as they can." -

And what's fun about that is that OBGYNs generally have the wherewithal to actually move to a different state (other than Texas), and with their skillset, they would be welcomed most anywhere else.

Just how is a SCOTUS decision in 1973 a "short cut"?
Can anyone explain that?
#68 | Posted by JeffJ
Quite a few people weighed in yesterday and confirmed that, YES, you're JeffJ.
Why won't you just come clean, JeffJ?
I don't even think our host cares that you came crawling back under the name "Bellringer."
So why don't you just come clean?
#68 | Posted by JeffJ
Are you, or are you not, the Drudge Retort poster known as JeffJ, who was thrown off of the Retort and had to come crawling back as "Bellringer"?Are you brave enough to respond?
Or, are you just a typical MAGA coward?
(JeffJ has me plonked. So, while he can't see my posts, I can see his. And everyone else can see this response... but he can't! Which means he won't respond, making him look like he really is JeffJ! - lather, rinse, repeat...)
a 49 year old scotus ruling is the opposite of a "back door" its as front door as it gets. 6 "justices" lying about stare decisis to get in and kill roe is as back door as you can get. underhanded, unpopular weasel crap thats gonna cost you guys an election." -One of the best posts I've read recently.

Thank you, Alexandrite.

Roe v. Wade, decided in 1973, was a "back door, handshake deal"?
Can anyone explain that?

A woman's desperation: It is what women haters, like lfthndthrds and BILLJOHNSON, long for.
They dream about it and wake up in the morning in a tented position.
That's how much they hate women and love to see them in desperation.

Deliver a turd?
Isn't that a day of celebration at the lfthndthrds family?
