Sunday Overnight Open Thread (7/7/24)
Quote I “I would like my children to be independent and feel comfortable going outside and playing and they won’t" Homeowner Robin Bach
Quote II “VW top managers who absolutely want to drive a Porsche can also afford one privately.” Unnamed VW board member
Quote III “I think President Biden, politically, is as dead as fried chicken. He can now quit, he can be replaced — let me just finish my thought,” Kennedy said as McEnany began to respond. “Or he can run and lose. You can’t successfully run for president of the United States when your campaign slogan is, ‘I’m only senile some of the time,’ as one commentator pointed out today.” Sen John Kennedy (R-LA)

Jeff Bezos keeps selling Amazon stock after announcing his move out of Washington state The news this week that Jeff Bezos plans to sell more Amazon stock is another reminder of the tech mogul’s move away from Washington state — and the debate over its capital gains tax. A new regulatory filing shows that the Amazon founder plans to sell 25 million Amazon shares worth about $5 billion. This comes after he sold 50 million shares worth around $8.5 billion earlier this year. Bezos announced in November that he was leaving his longtime hometown of Seattle, where Amazon is based, and moving to Miami. The relocation sparked questions about Washington state’s capital gains tax, passed in 2021, which imposes a 7% tax on any gains of more than $262,000 from the sale of stocks and bonds. Florida does not have a capital gains tax. Bezos saved more than $600 million by moving to Miami and avoiding Washington’s capital gains tax, CNBC reported in February, based on his sale of 50 million shares earlier this year.

The state of EV charging in America: Harvard research shows chargers 78% reliable and pricing like the ‘Wild West’ BiGS Actionable Intelligence:
A pioneering scholarly review of 1 million EV charging station consumer reviews, led by a Harvard Business School fellow, reveals widespread dissatisfaction with the current state of EV charging infrastructure. Among other things, the deep dive into tomorrow’s gas station network estimates that drivers can successfully recharge their cars using non-residential EV equipment only 78% of the time, highlighting critical issues with reliability. The problems suggest there are business opportunities for entrepreneurs.

Comments
(Jump to bottom of comments)When the media talks about the "surprise win by the left", what they are talking about is the leftist coalition. This is 3 or 4 aligned parties that include socialists, communists, and greens.
Then you have the establishment that is Macron's party and 2 others that are "centrist" that currently form the government.
Finally you have Le Pen's party RN, who is aligned with another two parties, one of which is barely on the map, maybe 10 seats.
The results today are:
Left - 182 seats
Centrist - 163 seats
Right - 143 seats
Sounds bad, correct?
But if you dig into the details, the situation is a bit different. The guy making all the noise today, demanding he take power immediately is Melenchon of the France Unbowed party. But they only won 74 seats.
In contrast, the "losers" today, RN, won 125 seats, making it the largest single party in parliament.
The problem is that you need 289 seats to form a majority, and no single bloc got there. Supposedly Macron has to choose a prime minister from the largest receiver of votes, but does that mean the leftist bloc?

Supposedly Macron has to choose a prime minister from the largest receiver of votes, but does that mean the leftist bloc? Macron has said in the past that he won't choose Melenchon, and to me his claim seems a little suspect. He is the largest party from the largest bloc, but he doesn't represent the largest party.
Anyway, expect some chaos, but don't expect the leftist agenda to get implemented in France just yet. RN should have enough power to grind things to a halt until the Presidential election in 2027.
Finally, I saw a map that I am not sure is correct. But it showed that RN won in every part of France, except Paris. There aren't even tiny pockets. France is one big blue RN bloc, with Paris in the middle. They kind of regional divide is going to cause a lot of friction.

Axios reports that "sh*t is going to hit the fan" tomorrow when Congress reconvenes and Dems start talking to each other about the effect Biden's having on their own races.
Meanwhile, CNN says that the party's congressional caucus meeting on Tuesday will likely be a turning point; a lot of Dems who haven't yet spoken out publicly (Jerry Nadler being one example) will do so in the caucus.
At least according to these reports, a major faction in the party is now determined not only to get Biden out, but get him out by Friday.

The Libertarian Party of Colorado has formally endorsed Robert F Kennedy Jr over the LP candidate Chase Oliver. Apparently this is a big FU to the Pragmatists who managed to nominate Oliver as the national LP Presidential candidate
“As part of this partnership, the Libertarian Party of Colorado will place the Kennedy/Shanahan ticket on the Colorado state ballot for president and vice president,” the party said in a statement. “This move reflects our commitment to offering voters a choice that transcends the traditional partisan divide and promotes individual liberty, personal responsibility, and limited government.”

I haven't seen credible claims of voter fraud in that sense (yet).
What's actually happened--and I noted this last Monday--is the open collaboration between Macron's "centrist" faction and the far-Left New Popular Front, one throwing its votes to the other in a given constituency (based on which had the best chance of winning) to prevent the National Rally candidate from getting a majority.
They're relying mostly on gaming the system against Le Pen and company. As usual.

It could be that he's also dialing back his support for Biden, which would be a *very* big deal. It could also be that he's still in Biden's corner and doesn't want to be asked questions about his mental state.

He does have to go along with it. If he refuses, they are SOL. He won the primaries and the delegates are bound to him. They have to vote for him first round, and then he is the nominee, nothing they can do about it.
The only option they have if he resigns is for Kamala to take over. Even if she does, it is too late to get her on the ballot in WI and NV. The WI supreme court will probably make up some new law, but per state law the only legal candidate is Biden.
Nevada will go to Trump by default.
They have to make it happen this week, because soon the window in other states close as well. Going to be really hard to win an election when you don't even have a candidate on the ballot.
I think all the Hollywood types don't understand the ballot access laws, they are so blinded by TDS and polls that they don't see they are going to make it worse.
I still think that Jeffries is figuring Biden or Harris is going to lose, so try to limit the damage and take advantage of the fact that Trump is more popular than Republicans. Get people to split tickets.

I think that is a big part of what is happening but I also think Kamala is a huge part of this equation.
She was a DEI appointment as everyone knows and that idiocy is a core part of the modern leftist movement. And she is completely unelectable. If anything she is worse than a brain impaired Biden.
If Joe had a reasonable VP this decision would have happened already. As incredible as it sounds Harris is a worse option than Biden and they know it.

according to some big legal brains, the Supreme Court decision on executive immunity pretty much IS a get out of free card for Biden, unless they can get him on something that was totally not part of his duties as President, or OKd by him.
I say again, someone is going to be the scapegoat this cockup and I will put money down that the cost of Biden going quietly into the night with Hunter's full pardon will be DOCTOR Jill

His motivation is really holding onto pardon power until they wrap up the IRS trial for Hunter. Then he can pardon Hunter to reduce the risk for Hunter flipping on him.
Ironically, the immunity decision is probably going to help Biden.
Joe Biden has never cared about anyone but himself, why would he start now?

The reason so many House and Senate members are talking about taking Joe out is that he is going to be a huge drag on down ballot races. Theirs.
Politicians care about one thing more than anything else, keeping their jobs. If Biden stays on the ballot many of them are going home.

D'Jill and Hunter had better get their a$$e$ in gear and get that stack of pardons for members of their crime family signed and stored safely away.
Once Jotatoe blows a circuit breaker while trying to satisfy their fervent desire to stay in office, their opportunity to score pardons is OVER.
The blowback from having a mass of pardons come out will simply be a feculent feast for Jotatoe's successor to have to choke down.
Could not happen to nicer people.

I agree, and that’s why I’m certain that 25th Amendment procedure is out of the question. The process of applying the 25th would permanently destroy Kamala’s standing among Democrats, while simultaneously making her the incumbent and a lock for the nomination, because time will have run out. It’s a nightmare scenario for them.

Sara Lomax, the president and CEO of WURD Radio, posted a statement to the company's website on Sunday announcing that the station and radio host Andrea Lawful-Sanders had “mutually agreed to part ways”.
On Saturday, Lawful-Sanders told CNN that four of the questions she asked Biden were provided to her by his team.

Way too often the left is assumed to have super powers that make the unbeatable. They are just another in an endless line of corrupt mobs that will inevitably walk themselves into a box canyon no matter how much power they control. They just did.
Trump is about as flawed a candidate as we have ever had other than a few unique traits. He's got an assload of money, he's much smarter than people give him credit, he's obviously not corrupt and he will never stop fighting. Not ever.
The old saw about just showing up being 90% of winning is not completely accurate, particularly in politics. Fight is huge. Trump will never stop fighting.

Everyone has known that Joe is a turnip for a long time. Only two types were unwilling to acknowledge it: liars and people who wanted to be lied to. The debate wasn't a revelation, it was an op.

>>"The idea" comes from years of polling data. Trump's JA (job approval) has never been much better than Biden's JA. Better, yes, but not much.
You just made my point.
In 2020 Trump got more votes than any sitting president in US history. Even more the Chocolate Jesus. And nobody was cheating for Trump.
Stop looking at media polls and look at what you can see with your own eyes. Trump drew thousands to his rally in Chesapeake, VA after the rally. Virginia is the home of the swamp and I have been told he has no chance to win.
Biden drew maybe 100 in his "home state" of Pennsylvania the other day.
But if you want to believe only polls.
>>Perhaps most troubling for Biden: 51% of respondents said they now approve of Trump's job performance when he was president from 2017 to 2021, compared to 41% who said they approve of Biden's current job performance.

It's to the benefit of the Democrats, since the regime really can't stand on their record concerning all of the above. However, the DNC can take no comfort from that because the slow motion coup just shows how corrupt and morally bankrupt they've become to the general public. Besides, we all know Trump's policy plan is "undo what Biden has done as much as possible and work towards MAGA some more."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff has tested positive for COVID-19 after experiencing mild symptoms, his office announced Sunday, but his wife, Vice President Kamala Harris, has tested negative and remains asymptomatic.
Emhoff spokesperson Liza Acevedo said in a statement that the second gentleman “is fully vaccinated and three times boosted” and that he is “currently asymptomatic, continuing to work remotely, and remaining away from others at home.”

I'm no expert, but since nobody is stepping up, I'll attempt an explanation for my fellow commiefornian.
A 'sock' as it were, is when someone makes a post and also changes their name, usually to something relevant to the post. For example: Were I to comment about Biden's campaign prospects, for example, by writing 'He's dead Jim' and change my nic to 'Dr. McCoy', I would be using a sock.
Note your nic (name) stays changed unless you repost using another name, hence you see people posting 'off sock' lest they forget to change their name back, as I have done.
In the above example one would subsequently post 'off Star Trek TOS sock' under one's usual name or nic.
Hope this helps.

Now your turn, what do you think is going to happen in the next 5 months to make it go down? Do you see Joe's brain getting better? Kamala actually not being a horrific joke?

I never said you were a Democrat troll or anything of the kind. I also think you give away your objectivity when say idiotic things like accusing anyone who disagrees with your analysis by accusing them of believing Trump is Jesus. Ace made that mistake by accusing anyone who supported Trump over DeSantis and that didn't work out so well.
Although I do like the Trump cult robe.
Trump was winning the RCP average of polls you noted before the debate. In other words, he was beating Biden and every other potential Democrat handily as I'm sure you know. As I noted, Trump's job approval has since risen in the USA Today job approval rating. It might not have shifted the entire RCP average yet but I bet other polls will help.
So where is your evidence that any Democrat will poll better? Do you have those RCP averages? I mean the RCP polls are entirely made up of leftwing media influenced voters so surely that will be easy for you to produce.
I'll wait here.

The light plant was apparently built in the 1940's. It's a Briggs and Stratton model ZZP engine. Even the flywheel shroud is cast iron. And the doggone thing started with one tug on the rope today. Blows a lot of fumes out the crankcase vent, too. New rings would probably cure that. But it's going to be given to a museum, and I doubt they will ever want to run it at all. But I had fun playing with it. Scrounged it out of the town dump for nothing, a decade ago or more.

Monday fast approaches. The fallout from The Potatus' interview performance with George Snuffleupagus, the MSM Interview Questions (submitted for approval, or not?), and various other questions (e.g., Is it time for a 25th A action?) start doing a Dresden on the Democrats.
I think it's likely that Joe will have to step aside/be forced to withdraw, and Jill will be sedated. Will the WH puppet masters will be able to keep Joe propped up through January, avoiding a few months of Girl Boss Idiocy and Failure by Kammie. I can't see Joe winning, even with massive cheating; it wouldn't be believable.
I'm seeing an increasing amount of talk about Kammie, mostly from activists and other whack jobs. Remember Kammie's job history: Willie Brown. She's unpopular, and her amazing oratory (Venn diagrams) should be enough to stop her. But, she's a D.
Can Nancy Pelosi's Nephew successfully filch the nomination from Kammie? Nancy Pelosi's Nephew is far smarter and more dangerous than Kammie. BUt, all the Greasy Kid Stuff ...

It's a damned shame to send fine vintage machinery like that to the smelter.

That's how I feel when I see the beautiful old pre-70's cars being chopped up and modified. Unless they're already too far gone to salvage. I like watching the road-worthy rescues guy.

What's that Latin phrase that translates into 'give the people what they want'..? Good and hard!

I just love seeing them run, hearing their engines, how they look, sound, ride. Things of beauty each and every one.

Good night, Dr. Jill, I think that your days are numbered, I would imagine that it will be tougher caring for Joe without the trappings of the Presidency.

I skip the ketchup and go straight for the Tabasco, either regular or smoked chipotle. My Dad was ketchup AND Tabasco (only the regular back then) on eggs, fried or scrambled.

I'm with you on the tabasco in re fried eggs. Scrambled, there I would differ. Fried eggs, sausages and grits are my breakfast fave - Mrs. Drake favors hash browns over grits, but she's a city girl.

It's been a source of relief to me that even the most recent generation, if you order eggs over easy, know what you mean and will cook it that way. On the other hand, if you order a club sandwich, there confusion arises.

If it's instant grits or no grits, then instant grits are just fine! Like MREs.

Quaker Instant Grits work well for me - the serving side is about right for an individual meal. The alternate flavors they offer, though, not sure about those.
Hush Puppies are awesome even in quick preparation form. The key thing is the size. Even in a state as small as Mississippi, there are differing ideas about what constitutes a Hush Puppy. I always assumed that the fairly large, deep-fried variety I was accustomed to were the norm, but down in Mrs. Drake's former hometown in Jackson, Hush Puppies are slightly bigger than marble-sized and difficult to chew. And she and her folks were shocked to hear anybody cooked them differently. I don't know if it was a carry-over from the Gulf Coast or from Louisiana, but quite different indeed.

I should ask about hush puppy recipes next food thread... had quite forgotten about them until tonight.

Golf-ball-sized sounds right to me - a little bit of spice and/or diced onions are definite pluses.
