2024 Presidential Race

I don't know if he believes he's an independent or not but no one else does.

Very few people are independent IMO. A lot of people want to claim they are but they generally lean hard one way or the other.

I understand. So what you're saying is that both you and your colleagues still wear masks in the operating room. Got it. Thanks.

Don't necessarily assume that since that may be the standard, that it's been proven to prevent anything.

Rachel Maddow is being mocked for her anti-Donald Trump monologue in which she warned the US was headed for an autocratic government after his resounding election victory.

The MSNBC star claimed that the voter turnout for the Republican president-elect was evidence Americans had 'let democracy go' and opted for, a 'strongman, authoritarian system'.

She likened the outcome to those seen in countries such as North Korea, Russia and China as she urged Democrats not to become, 'despondent'.

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow mocked for hysterical monologue after Trump win

Rachel Maddow portrayed the vote between Democrats and Republicans as a fight between democracy and autocracy as she urged liberals to 'get scrappy'.

As usual, Madcow is always FOS and her ideas should be rejected for nonsense BS.

Again, be sure to demand no masks during surgery. Cause... you know... germs ain't real. And masks do zilch.

You do realize there have been long standing discussions about masks in operating rooms that predate the Covid campaign?

Long ways to go with the population of the coast cities. But promising

The inroads Trump somehow made on the east coast are even more surprising. He's going to lose New Jersey by only 5%. That is slightly less than what he is going to lose Virginia by (5.2%), which was a red state at a far more recent period in history. By comparison Joe won NJ by 16%, Hillary by 14%, and Obama by 18% and 16%. Was that because Kamala was such a bad candidate? Maybe, but Joe and Hillary were bad candidates too, and Trump improved on both his 2016 and 2020 margins in a bunch of other blue areas, completely flipping them in some cases (like in south Texas and Miami-Dade).

Another example: Kamala got 62% of the vote in Queens County, NY. Joe got 72%, Hillary got 75%, and Obama got 79% and 75%. I'm not sure there is a more diverse place on the planet than Queens, and support there for Democratic presidential candidates has eroded 17% over the last several presidential election cycles. I'm not saying it'll eventually go red, far from it. But still, that is incredible performance from a party that just a few years ago was supposedly going to die because only white men voted for it. What actually seems to have happened is that yes, white male support for Rs is strong and getting stronger, but they are also getting much more support from Latinos and black men.

In the past San Diego was red. they need to flip it back red and just get enough in LA, SF, Sacramento, Fresno, etc. to flip with rural California. Still a tall order.

I think Bush Sr was the last Republican to carry California and it was in a different era.

They have a better shot at New York.

I don’t think there’s any way for the Republican Party to make up 4 million votes in California without depressing turnout in Georgia, Arizona, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina to unsustainable levels.

DEI and "woke" agenda items (however you want to define them) are dying, and most people see them for the crap they are. Very, very few want to give up everything for groups that represent fragments of the population, and basically nobody wants to give up everything for mentally ill criminals and crybabies. That's the entire explanation.

The economy is in much better shape than it was with trump

Pandemic. People need to stop with this argument. The economy was doing incredibly well until 2020. It would have faltered under any President and when the pandemic started to subside and business started to come back, unemployment would have dropped dramatically under any President also, as businesses started bringing back workers.

They dont declare EV by square footage of the counties won....

He is going to lose CA by 4 million votes....

Yea that does nothing for the National EV.

Would be curious what effect, if any, it could have on California’s US & State legislators breakdown going forward.

The quadrennial post-election finger pointing has ensnared Kamala Harris supporters Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey, who Stephen A. Smith claims are guilty of alienating voters.

The Donald Trump critic and ESPN host is blaming the pair's rhetoric, in part, for creating division between men and women. In particular, Smith was upset that the former First Lady told an audience that 'a vote for [Trump] is a vote against us.'

'If we don't agree with you, we're against you?' Smith questioned. 'How do you think the men felt about that? So we have to do what you tell us to do; otherwise, we're anti-you? You thought that worked? Do y'all know anything about most men? You think that's going to work?'

As Smith sees it, the Harris campaign used 'guilty' to manipulate 'everyday people' 'into voting for Harris,' he said on his podcast.

To bolster his point, Smith played a clip of Winfrey hinting at an anti-democratic takeover of the United States in the event of a Trump victory.






'This is the kind of stuff that alienates an electorate, alienates a voter,' Smith said. 'Because the freedom that you tell them you have, you try to confiscate morally by letting them know, you ain't worth a damn unless you vote the way we say you should vote.

...and it is dying in particular with Latinos. I have said for a long time that the Democratic Party is playing a dangerous game by just assuming they'll always have their vote in the bag due to racial grievance-based reasons. On the whole, Latinos are not socially liberal and don't have a bunch of grievances with the United States as a country - I mean hell, you think that would be obvious since first generation immigrants made a choice to be here. It also apparently totally failed to occur to the Democratic Party that the group of people who might be most upset about illegal immigration are legal immigrants.

My text exchange with the liberal college son.

Tues. night:
Me: Son, if Harris wins, you have to figure out how to pay for your own college.

Wed. very early am:
Son: Well, looks like you are still paying. If I thought Trump was going to lose, I would have held my nose and voted for him.

Wed. pm:
Me: Market went up enough today for me to cover another year of your college out of savings, son. Thanks for your help.

Son: Oh! I get it now.

Sometimes, it just has to be very real for people to understand.

True. It is worth noting that Trump has gained about 8% so far since the 2016 election in California while Dems lost about 4% in those same years. Of course, Hillary was a significantly stronger candidate than Harris. I don’t expect a Republican will win that state anytime in the near future, though.

What "germs" are involved in surgical site infections, and are they respiratory pathogens?

No no....EL assured us those people, being bussed to PA, knocking on doors were volunteers. Over a billion dollars spent on a major league ass whipping.

Sounds like the NY Yankees.

Q for the forum:
Is this pic doctored?

The eyebrows are off...the one on her right extends to the bridge of her nose. Her hairline is receding. Is she having cosmetic work done?

Race isn't the heavy hitter as the past because most people have gotten over it (at least that is my hope). Ironically, the Republicans greatest growth potential is African-American and Hispanic Men. The Democratic party has a male problem across the board and I think it is only going to grow. Radical feminism is just not popular among most men (and even many women).

We saw the first rumbling of this in the entertainment industry with the backlash against Star Wars and other IP that kept floating these unrealistic, super female characters.

These companies are repeatedly trying to mainstream Mary Sue characters, which have been laughed at as being lazy and juvenile forever. Maybe, just maybe, adults want adults in charge, and not children running HR and self-serving "market research" departments.
