The Race For 2024

[Jason Harvestdancer]

The current strategy of keeping Harris out of the spotlight and not having interviews seems to be working. The less she is exposed to the public the more likable she is. Unfortunately even the press has noticed that she's staying out of the spotlight, and not just the "right-wing" press.

Some of the groups her campaign tried to organize sure are interesting. White Dudes for Harris ... for some people everything is about race. Still, it must have been amusing when some older Democrats misunderstood and showed up in white robes.

“I’m not putting black people in ovens — yet!” would be a wonderful sound bite for Harris.

That’s odd, considering she has been exposed to massive crowds at her campaign rallies. Or perhaps you agree with Trump’s daft claim that her crowds are AI-generated.

Nah, it’s about exactly the opposite — showing that not all white dudes are racist.

“I’m not putting black people in ovens — yet!” would be a wonderful sound bite for Harris.

Why would that be?

Contrast with the camp that wants to put black people in ovens TODAY.

If the Biden administration gets its way no one will have any ovens to put anyone in. Or so I am told by reputable news sources.

ELECTRIC fucking ovens, Okay??

I'm a White Dude for Harris.
I'm not easily "organized", especially on the Internet.
(Check with the IIDB staff, ask for Gospel)

I don't really like Harris that much. I've no interest in having a beer. My favorite thing about her is that she kicks ass when it's necessary.
That's now.

Trump is falling apart because she is undeniably better at running a campaign and a country.

It's about showing that younger Democrats aren't as racist as older ones?

Isn't it obvious?

Anyway, since she picked an old white man as her running mate, the core of the Democratic Party may now find her ticket acceptable.

Please, no self-respecting, red-blooded, patriotic American would bake anyone in an electric oven. Not even his worst enemy!!


Just maybe if Elon Musk makes them.

The fuss last year was all about gas stoves, not ovens. Only Elixir got all worked up about gas ovens, to the point where he blocked me for asking why he was so worked up about them. He never did answer my question, which is further proof that I don't answer questions. I guess he has a particular interest in gas ovens.

I have an electric oven, and The Donald is welcome in it any time.

Wife is watching a Hallmark movie. It just occurred to me that a lot of Hallmark bad guys a a dead ringer for Vance. Come to think of it, a lot of bad guys in other movies too.

My ex wife was a big-time soap opera watcher. The good guys were scruffy-looking, and you could always tell the bad guy because their hair was always coiffed and they wore expensive suits. If they had a beard or a goatee? They were probably the ringleader or his son.

Banning price gouging (whatever in the world that means in practice) is not identical to price controls.

It's government telling market participants what prices they may charge. How is that not a form of a price control?

Depends on the form. We don’t know what “banning price gouging” in practice means. It may mean mandating prices. It may mean limits on the rate and frequency of price changes. It may mean punishing fines based on profits. Or something else.

It's a cartoon. There are many well-regarded journalists she can sit down and have an interview with.

IMO Twitter is for twits even after its name change.

Sorry, but he's right.

If you prohibit price gouging it goes from being expensive to not being available. This should be obvious as it's a case of demand exceeding supply--you either need to raise supply (a price that encourages people to create or bring it in, or do other such things--I once was in a town were a gas station got a lot of heat over the price they charged for gas when everyone else was closed by a power outage. Owner's response--it's recouping the cost of his preparedness in being able to run the pumps on a generator) or lower demand (make it more expensive.)

Monopoly situations are different. Monopoly + important should be regulated. (Even pseudo-monopoly: being the sole source of a generic drug. It takes months for someone else to get approval.)

It still exists and is available. But you might need to have someone compromised on film to get it.

Cool anecdote. Too bad it didn’t address the content of my post. In order to ban price gouging, it has to be defined. How it is defined and then how the ban is implemented determines the extent (if at all) prices are controlled.

Whatever the powers that be define it as in the moment. Stay on their good side and they won't use flexible interpretations against you.

VFW Admonishes Former President for Medal of Honor Remarks

On Thursday, former President Donald Trump spoke at an event where he made some flippant remarks about the Medal of Honor and the heroes who have received it.

“On Thursday, former President Donald Trump spoke at an event where he made some flippant remarks about the Medal of Honor and the heroes who have received it. In the video that has circulated online and in the media, the former president was recognizing Miriam Adelson in the audience who he awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom during his time in office. As he described the medal as the civilian version of the Medal of Honor, he went on to opine that the Medal of Freedom was “much better” than the military’s top award, because those awarded the latter are, in his words, “ … either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets or they’re dead.” He continued by comparing Miriam to MoH recipients saying, “She gets it and she’s a healthy beautiful woman. They are rated equal.”

These asinine comments not only diminish the significance of our nation’s highest award for valor, but also crassly characterizes the sacrifices of those who have risked their lives above and beyond the call of duty.

When a candidate to serve as our military’s commander-in-chief so brazenly dismisses the valor and reverence symbolized by the Medal of Honor and those who have earned it, I must question whether they would discharge their responsibilities to our men and women in uniform with the seriousness and discernment necessary for such a powerful position. It is even more disappointing when these comments come from a man who already served in this noble office and should frankly already know better.

Hitler had a Jewish doctor. Biden had a Black employee. What's the difference?

Wow, defense of Hitler. You do realize he did other things than hire a Jewish doctor, right?

Dude, when people talk about drinking the kool-ade, they aren't talking about bathing in it.

When an average person hears someone say "Person A is like Hitler" they hear "Person A is Bad".

You're such a tool for Biden that when you hear someone say "Biden is like Hitler" you hear praise for Hitler.
