@#30 ... Forgive my interruption ...

No forgiveness is needed.

I always enjoy reading your comments. I learn stuff from them.

Would like to see more, than less, of them.

@#29 ... Heels-Up: You know what I mean
Brett: No, I don't

No one else knew either. That is what happens when you put a below room temp IQ into this type of position....

OK, aside from the fact that your alias seems to be projecting its opinion upon the world ("No one else knew either.") a typical MAGA fault...

I would like to point out that, the "below room temp IQ" that your alias cites, whooped fmr Pres Trump's derriere during the debate.

So, what does that say about fmr Pres Trump?

This song just came up on a playlist...

@#26 ... She still had no specifics, just tried to talk about Trump ...

So, she stayed focused upon the issue at hand?

As opposed to fmr Pres Trump's incoherent meandering ramblings during interviews?

Good to know.

Thanks for your view.

@#22 ... Not my place to tell you what to do, but this one is too weak to waste the time, IMO. ...

Yeah.

Back a few decades ago I was in a carpool with a good business friend.

He described to me something he saw one day.

His cat had cornered a mouse in a bathtub in their house.

The cat seemed to know that the mouse was ~cornered,~ i.e., there was no way out for it.

So the cat, went into the tub and just started to bat the mouse around with its paws.

Eventually, the mouse was, I'll say, toast.

So, with that in mind, sometimes one should joust with a random alias that appears to see what develops.

The results of that jousting are interesting.

For example...

hans, major kudos. And thank you for the information you provide.

deadman, could go either way at the moment. Disruptive, or informative? imo, too soon to tell.

YMMV.

@#23 ... Her responses and lack of composure showed she is unfit to lead mentally and emotionally. ...

An, unsubstantiated, opinion.

What else yer got?

@#20 .. I always do: ...

No, your alias doesn't.

But, that aside...

From the article your alias cites...

... I'm talking like four people waving their hands like "it's got to stop,"' Baier described to his panel about how the interview ended after it wrapped up.

'I had to dismount there at the end,' Baier shrugged.

'There are so many things and maybe she should do more of these,' he added. ...

So, it is Mr Baier giving his opinion of what occurred during the interview. And he seems to admit he blew it ("I had to dismount").

Effectively saying he had his derriere handed to him, just as VP Harris did to fmr Pres Trump during his debate with her?

That seems like a positive for VP Harris to me.

No?

@#17 ... My take: Bret Baier has rarely looked as bad (or tendentious) as he did in his interview with Kamala Harris. ...

imo, Mr Baier went all out to challenge VP Harris.

He knew exactly what he was doing. And he knew the ramifications that we all see here.

But he challenged her anyway.

The Country benefited from what he did.

Her responses to his interrogation showed she was not to be f**ked with.

@#18 ... that is why her staffers made Brett cut the interview short ...

Got a link?

... A recent Harris campaign proposal targets at-home caregivers struggling with steep out-of-pocket expenses even as consumer prices finally stabilize. ...

OK, my first comment. Maybe the article could be worded better ...

It is not the care-givers who are struggling with the costs, but the care-receivers.

Having to had the need to help a 90+ year-old Mom over a hundred miles away, I was so happy when Meals-On-Wheels stepped in and assured me that she would have food.

There was no cost involved.

... "We issue the peremptory writ directing the respondents to immediately comply with L.B. 20," the court said in its ruling.

Five Nebraska Supreme Court justices affirmed felons' right to vote in the upcoming election while two opposed the majority decision. About 7,000 felons are affected by the ruling.

"Give the sheer scale of disenfranchisement that this decision corrects, there is no question that it will be remembered as one of our state's most consequential voting rights decisions," Jane Seu, legal counsel at the American Civil Liberties Union of Nebraska, said in a prepared statement. ...

... Judge Robert McBurney appeared to choose Kavanaugh's words to counter any Republican challenge to the Supreme Court.

The Republican-led Georgia State Election Board introduced a rule in September that three election workers must each count all the presidential ballots by hand. Democrats have accused Republicans of trying to introduce a flurry of new rules to delay and confuse the count process in what is a crucial swing state in the presidential election. Early voting began in Georgia on Tuesday.

Newsweek sought email comment from the Georgia State Election Board on Wednesday.

McBurney noted that the rule initially looks like a good idea, but it will lead to confusion. He granted an injunction preventing the enforcement of the rule, and quoted Kavanaugh, who was appointed to the Supreme Court by former President Donald Trump. ...

@#41 ... Perhaps you could explain why my vote for president has actually mattered ...

That, basically, was the point I was trying to convey in my #35 comment.

That "one-dollar" seems to have more gravity in elections than "one vote."

So, how is that that "one-dollar" negated?

Get your butt off the sofa, and get out there to vote.

An aside...

I have had discussions with some younger voters (early 20's).

I have told them all to get their butts into the voting booth and cast their vote.

One asked me, but what if I do not like the candidate you like?

I told her to get out there and vote. That is the important aspect of what I am saying.

The resulting expression on her face was priceless for me.

@#2 ... People are under a serious misconception that laws, rules, regulations, traditions, norms will be applicable during a 2nd ------- presidency. ...

Yeah, there is that aspect as well.

One that I've noted in my prior comment(s).

More from the article...

... Oakland-based U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers rejected Meta's bid to toss the claims made by the states in two separate lawsuits filed last year, one involving more than 30 states including California and New York and the other brought by Florida.

Rogers put some limits on the states' claims, agreeing with Meta that a federal law known as Section 230 regulating online platforms partly shielded the company. However, she found that the states had put forward enough detail about allegedly misleading statements made by the company to go forward with most of their case.

The judge also rejected motions by Meta, ByteDance's TikTok, Google parent Alphabet's (GOOGL.O)

The ruling clears the way for states and other plaintiffs to seek more evidence and potentially go to trial. It is not a final ruling on the merits of their cases. ...

@#36

Yeah, I wouldn't go with AWESOME.

But she did well.

She stayed on topic and did not meander off into some weird dot-weaving babbling in her answers.

That aspect, alone, is a huge improvement contrasting the interviews fmr Pres Trump has given.

@#32 ... "Billionaires!!! the devil!!!!" ...

I do not agree.

I just think that some billionaires (thank-you Citizens United) have an outsized affect upon the politics on the Country.

I like the "one vote" concept.

But since Citizens United, that one-vote concept seems to have been replaced with a one-dollar concept.

For example, why should an immigrant, Mr Musk, have such a outsized sway with a presidential candidate upon the affairs of the Country?

I mean, fmr Pres Trump constantly rails against immigrants, but he also seems to have not a concern about dozens of millions of dollars Mr Musk throws his way.

@#31 ... Everything was Deflect to Trump. She actually looked angry at one point describing him. ...

So, she highlighted the differences between her and fmr Pres Trump?

And you would not look angry at a person who wants to destroy Democracy in the Country?

I mean really.

@#28 ... The information is from Open Secrets ...

The graphic in that link ("Total from Small Donor Donations, Current Candidates Only") was interesting.

... Why talk about Harris when the real news is about Trump's 'owners' - three billionaires. ...

Yup.

In addition to the link you provide, there's this...

@#5 ... More likely, though ...

So, your new alias has got nothing.

Good to know.

And, may I extend my welcome to your new alias to this most august site.

@#11

Thanks for the laugh.

(fwiw,I do recognize the sarcasm)

:)

@#22 ... They were simply let in. ...

I was paying attention.

I did not see any immigrants being "simply let in" outside of the current laws.

Please explain further. Links would be helpful. thx.

... x.com there's the data.

Yeah....

... and the point is?
