2024 U.S. Presidential election

I was thinking more along the lines of the part of the day where the surface of earth with the solar panel is facing away from the sun and it is dark.

Ever heard of battery storage?

What genius scheduled a Trump rally in eastern Pennsylvania on the night of a Phillies playoff game?

He’s definitely not getting 165,000,000 people tonight.

It was one or more test kits. Certainly a reasonable, humane gesture to a world leader, despite our major differences in many areas. Any US president would have done so.

Wrong. We wanted Putin to die of Covid. Now I’m going to have to strain my weather control powers to bomb cyclone him to death.

Not sure what was worse torture for a Phillies fan - watching them or going to a Trump rally.

Let's get real, tfg is just attempting to make another bad faith argument for the sake of oil executives that are intent on boosting his campaign.

I wonder if it’s even that calculated. I think he feels that all has to do is just get up there and make sounds come out of his mouth and it doesn’t really matter what he says. Little he says makes sense nor does it have to. He just has to occupy space and be visible for two hours or whatever and leave it to the media to derive something rational out of his comments.

Or a sheagles game.

It's not picking nits. Trump is criticizing wind power using a criticism that is meaningless. We are pointing out why that criticism is meaningless.

Either he's intentionally pushing a false/meaningless narrative or he truly doesn't understand how wind power works. Neither is flattering. But it's not picking nits.

Wind power:

• Causes cancer
• Kills birds
• Doesn't let me watch TV on calm days
• Is ugly
• Takes land away from farmers to make food

Counterpoint:
Birds aren’t real

No idea. But the betting markets whiffed pretty badly in 2016. They were closer in 2020, but probably not to the degree that the election was close.

Seems like a really rich person (or groups of people) with the belief that Trump would win threw money at the market, and it moved the needle. Whether those people are right or not is... well... unknowable at this stage.

When Elon bets the poly market moves a lot. No link just my guess

If Trump is a Mets fan I’m definitely not voting for him

Thems fightin words and I have a snowball ready to throw at you

His support is fluid so he’s probably vocally pulling for the Phillies to play to the PA voters and will say those Dems in NYC cheated and stole the series.

I am super confused about that ad... that is Kamala's voice on it (or it sounds a lot lot lot like her). Did she actually track an ad for an outside group like RVAT? I'm not an election law expert but I'm not entirely sure she is allowed to do that? They could use a speech or interview sound from some other appearance by her as the tacking audio for the commercial without any problem but it seems more scripted than that.

I'm just really confused about what is behind this ad. The audio sounds a little bit off at times. I wonder if it might be AI generated.

No inside information, but to my ears, the audio is cobbled together from a couple of different interviews/appearances and pieced together and post-processed to make a coherent singular statement. I'm pretty sure they are all Kamala, but I don't think she said those words in that order all in one place. It's a bit like Emma Watson's singing in Beauty and the Beast.

Truly bizarre. I also personally think it's a bad ad, so if I were Kamala Harris' campaign, I wouldn't want my voice to be associated with it. It's too "conspiracy theory" type-ish that we see from the other side.

...and yet it's probably one of the most truthful ads out there.

The audio is cut and edited from the Howard Stern interview.

Note that there is no "I'm Kamala Harris and I approve this message" at the end of the ad. Not sure that she can do anything about outside groups, other than ask them to take it down if she agrees that it is a bad ad.

Not sure what is happening but Trump now ahead of Harris in the PredictIt trading market. This is the market that the Northwestern data scientist was referencing as recently as 2 weeks ago to predict a landslide victory for Harris. Have all of Trump's FEMA lies swung GA and NC in his direction?
