As the full saying goes, "the customer is always right in matters of taste."
OTOH, I'll never understand paying for something like this.

The Abstract Expressionists emerged from obscurity in the late 1940s to establish New York as the centre of the art world – but some say they became pawns of US spies in the Cold War. Alastair Sooke investigates.

Funniest take on modern art:
"The League" one of the guys pays a bunch of money for Klunberg. The rest tell him it looks like a dick-hawk attacking ass mountain.
Second:
"Malcolm in the Middle" where Hal make a giant abstract in the garage. That collapses on them 'cause it's like a foot thick mass of wet paint.
Third:
"Always Sunny" where Frank pretends to be an art critic. And raves over an air conditioner.

Listened to Hannity, and according to Halperin it’s basically all but over. Election Day will be “anticlimactic” because early voting numbers favor Republicans. By Halperin thinking, Democrats can’t win without a buffer from early voting due to Republican turnout on Election Day. Um..Republicans can’t vote twice.
You listen to rightwing talk radio? How much rightwing content is mixed into the discussions here?! That doesn't seem safe.
No wonder rightwing ideology has spread so rapidly if even leftwing boards are absorbing it.
So true. Our side uses trump words too! Nothingburger. Fake news. Even ripping on Hilary Clinton and Joe Biden. We've helped "sanewash" him!
I listen because it's oppo research and it often tells what's coming out of their think tank cesspools. Rush used to be the lead. Of course he’s thankfully dead now.
I see, maybe we should just post a 24/7 foxnews broadcast on the home page?
More Republicans are voting early, but they will also have the same Election Day advantage? These people take their audience for absolute fools.

Oh fascinating.
This, and two more data points:
1) this spring, many reports complaining Biden had barely opened any state and local campaigns.
2) The Harris campaign is the Biden campaign; she hired all of his people to run not just national but also state operations.
They don't have a ground game because, in their minds, as true believers, they legitimately won, fair and square, in 2020 without it.
And, so they don't know what they don't know and really believe they don't need it this year.

I have seen some commentary that this year it may not be as biased. If Trump is really getting 20% of the black vote and is competitive with the Hispanic vote, that’s a lot of California and NY votes for Trump. And Texas as well will be padded for Trump. Meaning Trunpnwill win a lot of ex-Dem votes in states that “dont matter” making the popular vote more closely resemble the EC vote.

1. Again, it's not so much that R's are overperforming as D's are underperforming heavily from 2020 and 2022 (this is heavily obvious in PA). R's are returning at generally 2020 levels. D's are returning much less. Will D's suddenly start voting in the final week of early voting? Well, they haven't been yet in the first 2-3 weeks, why would they start now? Will they turn out on Election Day? Maybe, but there hasn't been a general pattern of D's out performing R's on ED in a very, very long time. It could change, but it probably won't.
2. The media started fake news.

This is something I've resisted thinking for a long time, but it seems increasingly obvious that it's actually true.
High level campaign Democrats genuinely thought and think 2020 was legit. So, as R's have chipped away at early voting largesse across most of the nation in the ensuing 4 years, high level D's didn't think it was that much of a threat.
It seems ridiculous, but if the whole cheat was cell based and not directed, it could explain things.

After my wife's parents died we took her modest inheritance and redid our kitchen. First stop was the granite store. We had a budget so I checked the tags carefully. At one I had to stop as I recognized it instantly. It was named 'Starry Night' and the price tag was about $50,000 - while most slabs were in the $5,000 range. It actually looked like a Van Gogh painting. I stopped at another and recognized that instantly. It was named 'Pollock' and also had a price tag near $50,000. Damn if that didn't look exactly like the work of Jackson Pollock. I sometimes wonder if Jackson had been exposed to the wonders of nature in granite as his inspiration.
But how cool would it be to have a kitchen done in either slab?

What is important is not just when votes are being cast, but who is voting. Democrats that have early voting are high propensity voters 4/4 in the last 4 elections.
Republican votes have a very large percentage of 0/4 and 1/4 voters, so these are unlikely voters getting banked now. The 4/4 voters will dominate election day like they always do.
Democrats are getting to the point rapidly where they will have to get 0/4 and 1/4s to show up on election day itself. And they no longer have an infrastructure to do that, since switching to early voting.

Confirmed by NC data, mostly (I think NV data is showing it too).
Although, I think too much is being made of it. The differences are small, especially considering the overall bent of both parties right now.
Essentially, R's are showing all signs of being enthusiastic to vote from increased shares of registration to increased early voting while D's are showing all signs of being less enthusiastic to vote from decreased shares of registration to decreased early voting.
It's a data point in a sea of data saying that Democrats...just aren't excited by this election. Especially black people.
Almost like black voters liked Obama's VP and don't like some random Indian lady who says she's black.

Sadly, in many ways, I disagree. The siren song of Leftism appeals to a large chunk of any normal populace: "we'll take from those with too much to give to you who have been unfairly prevented from getting a fair deal". History repeatedly shows societies regressing to the "I'll give you more free shit if you'll just support me" mentality...until there's no more to give, and the society collapses into a conservative revolution. Only to slowly start the cycle again.

I keep seeing signs and ads saying that Trump's tariffs will cause inflation. It amuses me because it implies that his tariffs caused inflation over the past 4 years, even though he was out of office.
He's so powerful, that he can impose tariffs while out of office and damage America. He's a magical sorcerer that one dares not challenge, apparently.

But that's how all the best scams work.
They have isolated and discrete work teams; not one knows what the other is doing.
Each part doing, stand-alone, something that sound legit, legal.
So, there were teams who were told they were just verifying whether a registered voter voted. Or existed.
Which list was passed on to teams in other states told they were just filling out ballots to use as tests for the machines in another state (or some other plausible lie).
And the truck drivers were just delivering a load.
And the local mules were told those were just ballots that another local team had collected (or some other plausible lie).
That's how they injected thousand of ballots for months. And every person believed they were just doing their part to stop Trump.

And then it comes down to how the cells decide to react four years later. It's a lot of people doing discrete and specific things to pull it off which requires surprisingly little coordination when everyone is just of the same mindset with the same goal of create as many ballots as possible, and then deciding not to do it.
Well, just deciding isn't quite right. There are guardrails to a lot of it, and probably more in many states now than in the heady days of "covid killed my grandma in Seattle because you didn't wear your mask in Georgia".
It's an interesting conundrum, but the disappearance of a lot of early voters has to be explained by something.

I coach my son's soccer team (4-5 year olds). At the end of every practice we scrimmage for a few minutes, but lately I've been playing against the whole team. The kids love it.
Last night it was basically me plus the girls on the team vs. the boys.
It's nothing but running and laughing. I go to try to stop the best kid on the team and my son runs out of nowhere to tackle me so his buddy could go score.
I play along, wrap him up and he's dying laughing as we're rolling on the ground.
And I have to say, for a pretty run-of-the-mill Thursday, it was a damn good night.

Although, I think too much is being made of it. The differences are small, especially considering the overall bent of both parties right now.
Essentially, R's are showing all signs of being enthusiastic to vote from increased shares of registration to increased early voting while D's are showing all signs of being less enthusiastic to vote from decreased shares of registration to decreased early voting.

I'll never live that Rothko comment down. As to the Pollack painting, I've got mixed feelings. Ellie Siskind, my artistic mentor, taught me art isn't what's hanging on the wall or standing in the round; rather, art is that which is evoked (or provoked) in those experiencing a given painting, sculpture, or musical piece.
If your reaction to a Pollack painting is the strong suspicion Pollack was a con man running a scam, then you're going to be dismissive going in. If you think he's sincere, his intentions honest, that he was exploring a new way of expression, then it works, and the painting acquires power and beauty--at least for you.

The differences in 4/4 voters showing up is small. Something like 16% vs. 17%. R's usually have the smaller number, but it's not hugely smaller.
The problem is that D turnout is heavily down, R turnout is largely flat from 2020. You can look at it this way: D's are showing voting behavior of midterms, and R's are showing voting behavior of a presidential election.
It's just that D turnout was so high in the early vote in 2020. Naturally. With no cheating. Because no one would cheat in an election, and if they did it wouldn't be to actually change the result.
But, back to the point, the cannibalization argument feels like a largely empty argument to me when there's a lot of other data to point to about how things are going. If there was a huge difference, it could mean something on its own, but there is no huge difference. So, look elsewhere for information.

That sounds like a great time. Your son will always remember you taking the time to coach him and play with him like that.
I played soccer when I was in high school so when I went to college I signed up to coach 5-year-olds in the community. Back in those unenlightened days (last century) they still had them playing on full-size fields, 11 on each team. It was pretty hopeless. Just a giant scrum of 20 kids chasing the ball all over, assuming you could keep the keepers somewhere near the goal. Our keeper used to look up at the sky and spin around until he got dizzy.
Once a kid from the other team said to me, "Hey lady! Tell that kid to stop eating grass." And I looked down the field and yep, one of my kids was pulling grass and eating it. Good times.

It starts with the number of mail-in ballots.
2020 was "all registered voters in state X"
I mean, it's crazy how many states sent a ballot to every registered voter--whether requested or not, alive, dead, valid/invalid address, etc.
IIRC, every swing state was one that did that.

Some states are still doing it. I can't remember which, but one of the swing states is opt out of mail in voting.
And it's still not materializing. Doesn't mean it won't, but it hasn't when it already had at a similar time 4 years ago.
Still, even if Trump loses, I think election integrity will have taken some big leaps forward in the ensuing four years. And, another obvious defrauding of the American people of its suffrage will just accelerate the trend even more.

Daughter played T-Ball at 4 or 5. She wanted the ball every time it was hit, no matter where on the field. Getting her to understand positions was a chore. Then, when the ball was finally hit her way, it was in the air and plopped right on her head. She cried, but went and got the ball and threw it back in.
It was hard not to laugh hysterically at the whole ordeal.

I've been pointing out state-level election integrity measures for four years. The problem is that they're not uniform and subject to office holders deciding to follow them while still dependent on courts holding them to legal behavior.
I can be confident that NC is going to go blood red this year while still thinking that Shapiro can allow Philly to make up whatever it wants. NC cleaning up means nothing to the presidential if PA doesn't.

Me too. I was watching election night 2020 when the count froze simultaneously in several key battleground states, defying all known laws of probability. I knew instantly what was going on and was shocked by how ridiculously brazen, how glaringly obvious it was. No way can they get away with this, I thought. No way.
Yes way, and they're almost certainly going to do it again, or at least try. The Democrats are desperate.

See the Viking God of Justice - Tiu is the analog to the Norse Tyr, who was a big shot—and well-stored. Listen to how he lost his hand: There was a huge wolf named Fenrir, who was prophesied to eventually kill Odin, king of the gods. Understandably, the gods decided to restrain the beast while he was still growing.
Fenrir kept breaking his tethers, so the gods asked the dwarves to use their magic to craft a massive chain leash called Gleipnir. It was made of some impossible and unlikely elements, including the sound of cat’s footfall, a woman’s beard, the root’s of a mountain, bear sinews, fish breath, and bird spittle.
Fenrir wouldn’t let the gods bind him with Gleipnir unless one of them stuck their hand in the wolf’s mouth. Only Tyr was brave enough to do it.
Please note - Mattie Ross from Dell County, Arkansas, lost her left hand as did Tyr to bring justice.

If I've been pointing out changes, I haven't been saying nothing's changed. Duh.
Still, it all hinges on courts.
2020 wasn't won legally. Democrats broke a whole host of laws to win. The courts let them get away with it.
It ultimately comes down to that. Katie Hobbs could personally show up to a Maricopa election office, scratch out the numbers on the receipt and say that Harris won 1,000,000 votes to Trumps 2 and then dare the courts to invalidate legal votes. If history is any indication, the courts will allow it.

The problem is that D turnout is heavily down, R turnout is largely flat from 2020. ...
... If there was a huge difference, it could mean something on its own, but there is no huge difference. So, look elsewhere for information.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, finding suspense, madness, and humanity with Michael Powell at October 25, 2024 10:25 AM (GBKbO)
OK, so the R 4/4 numbers are pretty much the same. But what has that got to do with anything? There are only so many 4/4 voters, so it can't increase by a lot, and the fact that they're 4/4 means that that the overwhelming majority of them will show up, so it won't decrease a lot. In other words, that fact is "a given".
Then you say "D turnout is heavily down", but you're still saying "there is no huge difference".
So I still don't get the point that you're trying to make. From what you're saying, GOTV is a greater challenge for D's than previous POTUS elections due to low enthusiasm - but that's how elections are won and lost (aside from cheating).

One way to look at the 2020 steal is to think of it as a "Pearl Harbor" strike. (for the sake of brevity, please ignore all conspiracty theories).
Most people expected the Japanese to attack - somewhere
Very few, if anyone, expected the Japanese to launch a six-carrier air assault at Pearl Harbor
Only a handful of US fighters were able to engage the enemy.
US capability to counter-attack were limited by the lack of intelligence - location of the enemy and its strength, the distance of US carrier task forces from Pearl and wherever the Japanese carriers were.
All of these things and more draw a picture of situations where a deliberate and well-coordingated attack against the US occurred and the immediate aftermath was shock and confusion, cont'd

Democrats are setting up Trump's term with all this Nazi talk. They are going to create a scandal, likely where rioters (sorry peaceful protesters) die at the government's hand, and they will blame Trumphitler and tie up the headlines and media with funerals and investigations for his entire presidency.
They will NOT allow his presidency to go along unhampered and that means creating a Russia or J6 size scandal.

=========
If one side had a significantly higher number of 4/4 voters in early voting, it would indicate cannibalization of the election day turnout. The people who turn out every time would be banking early, leaving election day to be lesser. So, the 16% or so is showing that overall turnout of both side's always voting partisans are about equal so far.
What matters more at this stage is getting the lesser likely to vote out, the ones who don't vote all the time. Neither side seems to have a serious advantage proportionally with this division.
The problem for Democrats is that their 2020 numbers were heavily inflated by less than likely voters, the 0's and 1's. So, these people aren't showing up, driving their overall numbers down in comparison to the previous cycle.
Essentially, early voting patterns have set, and it's about turnout and enthusiasm. Looking into early voting patterns, unless something unexpected turns up, feels like a fool's errand. Trying to point it out as indicative of anything when both sides are about the same is fighting over beans. There's other data, like the overall early voting #s.

True. I used to listen to Rush to make fun of him (I was a huge liberal). One day, he said something and I found myself agreeing with him! I was stunned! Took about six months or so, but he won me over.
Honestly, I feel like he saved my life. I'd be one angry, ugly person by this point if I had stayed on that path.

Yet another thing started by the left that when appropriated by Trump, turns bad.
I remember using that line with a leftie, specifically because the left was using it, and I thought it was a neutral term, and they got mad because I sounded like Trump.

Agree.
The fraud this year will be completely different from 2020.
That's the fear I keep pointing to:

60 Reflection of the Big Dipper consists of built up layers of paint with dripped enamel as the final touch, concluding the composition. It was around 1947 that Jackson Pollock traded in his brushes for sticks, trowels and knives and began adding foreign matter, such as sand, broken glass, nails, coins, paint-tube tops and bottle caps to his canvases. From this point on, Pollock's application of paint became his main theme, which he tried to radicalize.

That's what it comes down to. It sounds like there are very encouraging signs, as far as legitimate voting is concerned - which shouldn't surprise any sentient being. But it's still all about whether the inevitable steal attempt will be twarted.
Doomers should keep in mind, however that the fix was in for 2016, and that was undermined. There's all kinds of signs that unusual things have been going on the last four years, which boosts the credibility of theories that 2020 was ALLOWED to be stolen (as either a "sting" operation, and awakening exercise or both).
I simply don't believe that the blatant steal of 2020 can be repeated. At the same time, I expect something unprecedented to stand in Trump's way this time (I have no idea what). But it's practically foretold that Trump will prevail.
The only surprise would be if it was a straightforward Trump victory, and the Globalist forces immediately accepted it.

There was an amusing scene in the movie where Vance is at Harvard, schmoozing with elites at a dinner event. And they all look past him, size him up and dismiss him as not worth their time. He realizes he needs to something to capture their interest, so he shares the Hatfield bs McCoy family legend to hold their attention. No idea if it's in the book too but it was good scene, and nails liberal elites at the ivies.
I've been at parties or events where elite educated people have done that, looked through me as if I don't matter. It stings. That scene struck home.

How does that reconcile with what I thought you (and perhaps others) were saying about 0/4 and 1/4 turnout of R voters being up, and the same for Ds (which were likely mostly fraudulent last time) being down significantly?
Isn't that what it's all about, given that the 4/4 are (and always are) pretty steady? Both those things sound like a "serious advantage".

Leftists are in the main self absorbed social climbers. Easy to be look past and it's where I prefer to be when I'm around them. It means they don't want anything from me which is good because they're not going to get it.

Truly funny, Shadout Mapes. I'm putting that in my quotes file, but I'm giving it the attribution of "Anonymous first-time viewer seeing "Reflection Of The Big Dipper" by artist Jackson Pollock", because it probably is.
And while I don't like most abstract art, I oddly enjoy the occasional Jackson Pollack, including this one.
And on a somewhat different note, the soundtrack to the biopic on Jackson Pollack (starring Ed Harris), composed by Jeff Beal, is very good.

In numerous discussions in the late nineteen forties, Hubbard experienced assured listeners that the best way to get wealthy was to commence a faith.
