I lean towards yes, and they're trying to just gouge big dollar donors for every penny then can while stuffing bills with their pork (not officially pork, just, you know, pork with another name). Nikki Haley is just the latest (and surely not the last) effort to steal hundreds of millions of dollars from donors big and small without any effort or intention of following through on any pursuit of any policy at all.

She was the guest of honor at a Paul Ryan GOPe fundraiser a couple of weeks ago. Big Wall Street money started getting behind her, too. And her attacks are focused on DeSantis, not Trump.
It was noted here a couple of months ago: Trump neuters DeSantis, the GOPe (and Democrats) remove Trump from contention. Colorado is already working towards removing him from the ballot at the state level. I doubt there are nearly the same pesky laws involved in the (R) party operations. Haley is the nominee.

So I bit the bullet and read that drivel from "LA Progressive".
His whole argument is that the RATE of murder is rising faster in rural areas than in urban areas. (And only a select number of urban vs. rural as well.) So, first: when your murder rate is 1 (per 100K) and it goes to 1.5 compared to a murder rate of 20 that goes to 25, YES, the rate rises faster. Second part, I had to stifle an actual laugh out loud moment when he started comparing white murder rates. I had to sit down. You're telling me that poor rural whites murder each other at a higher rate than rich, urban whites!?!? That whole article was an example of how to lie (badly) with cherry picked statistics.

Not sure where Soros Junior got his stats, but a state by state look shows the highest is Louisiana at 23/100K. Alaska is number six (worst) at 12/100k.
https://tinyurl.com/2ytcj8uk Major cities start with St Louis at 69/100k, Chicago is ten at 24/100k. I suppose there are some small towns of 1000 that have one murder, so a rate of 100/100K, but states (including the whole population of the state) overall are much lower than cities, from my brief look.

Posted by: Formerly Virginian at November 28, 2023 01:55 PM (N1tpc) ++++ Right. It's why it's fairly easy for a company to be "fastest growing." If you go from $10k in sales in a year to $1 million in sales in a year, you're growing 100x per year - pretty damn fast, but also pretty damn easy when yours is a new company and you have lots of sales incentives and the kind of white-glove customer service that often comes from startups. "Fastest-growing cloud storage provider" isn't difficult to achieve - especially if you can determine *what* is the growth metric you want (revenues, customers, gigabytes, etc.) and doubly so if you can also choose the time period you want (year, quarter, month, half-hour, etc.).

Posted by: Formerly Virginian at November 28, 2023 01:55 PM (N1tpc) ++++ Right. It's why it's fairly easy for a company to be "fastest growing." If you go from $10k in sales in a year to $1 million in sales in a year, you're growing 100x per year - pretty damn fast, but also pretty damn easy when yours is a new company and you have lots of sales incentives and the kind of white-glove customer service that often comes from startups. "Fastest-growing cloud storage provider" isn't difficult to achieve - especially if you can determine *what* is the growth metric you want (revenues, customers, gigabytes, etc.) and doubly so if you can also choose the time period you want (year, quarter, month, half-hour, etc.).

A lot of CA people came with it, and the state faltered from purple into blue. Then universal cheat-by-mail sealed the deal and the Party went whole-hog.

---- Yeah, I tapped out at the California/Florida comparison. TLDR version: * 98% of CA police depts have reported their stats to the feds, while * There were 1400 murders in FL (reported by... ?) * There were 88 arrests for murder in FL (presumably reported by police departments, so already lowballed according to point 1) * There were 1600 arrests for murder in CA Therefore FL is more violent than CA.

That Soros thing is such horseshit. They define a “conservative” county if it’s in a state that has a Republican Governor and legislature and a liberal county if it’s in a state that has a Democrat Governor and legislature.
So a murder in inner city Houston or Dallas is a murder in a “conservative” county since Texas has a Republican Governor and legislature. Same with a murder in inner city Miami. That’s how the left lies with statistics. Posted by: Montec at November 28, 2023 02:16 PM (fNkOQ) 278

The article actually uses murder *arrests* - not murders.

Sen. Romney signaled that nearly any candidate in the 2024 field, of either party, would be an “upgrade” over another term for former President Trump.
“I’d be happy to support virtually any one of the Republicans — maybe not Vivek [Ramaswamy] — but the others that are running would be acceptable to me, and I’d be happy to vote for them,”...“I’d be happy to vote for a number of the Democrats too,” he continued. “It would be an upgrade, in my opinion, from Donald Trump and perhaps also from Joe Biden.” I always had a begrudging respect of him even when he ran for President. Though President Obama was a great president I wasn’t as scared of Romney as I was of TFG! What a petty little loser. RMoney can't help himself with the assinine comment about Biden. This type of rhetoric almost equates the failed former office-holder with the very successful current President. This type of sniping is so typical of that party. Good riddance, the RMoney family. What did they do? Wake him up from his afternoon nap to ask those questions?Or did he just stumble into someone else's presser? Could he be anymore wishy-washy? Nobody cares, Mitt.

Nikki Haley is a block of wood who can't pretend to be relatable to humans. She is also GOP.
No charisma, no political base, no chance. The only people who can run GOP and build a following are obvious outsiders like Trump. A Republican machine politico simply can't win no matter what - nobody has any use for them anymore. And many of those dumbshits are much better politicians on their worst day than that cobweb-crotched robo-hag. Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at November 28, 2023 02:21 PM (0FoWg) It should have ended her campaign, when she called Vivek "scum." The stupid whore was being called out for calling HIM out for using Tik Tok, and all he did was expose the fact her own daughter (an adult) uses it. She's such a piece of shit, and at this point I'd say the worst of the lot. So yeah, it's no surprise the Gope establishment is putting their money behind her.

========= I think VP picks as an excuse to appeal to sectors of the electorate are bullshit. They don't matter. VPs don't move votes. I did a statistical analysis a while back to see if VP's had a "favorite son" effect in their own states. They didn't. Vote percentage changes in those states were statistically insignificant when factoring in the VP being from there. I think that probably extends to most other sectors of the electorate. It's top line or nothing, and most of the time it's just about low level partisanship in the electorate and finding motivation to get out, and that motivation is never the guy who reads the newspaper in his office every day as his job. VP talk is about appealing to insiders, and it's hard to imagine Trump making insiders happy with any choice that isn't him just leaving the political scene. Trump will play the game because he's a reformer not a revolutionary, but he shouldn't play the game.

At risk of getting flamed off, I point out the 'abortion' issue is why the GOP, or rather the Right Deviation faction of the Uniparty, is running a chick.
Also, 'abortion' is not even the campaign business as no woman I work with or even know casually supports unrestricted abortion for all. They're selling it as birth control which is a serious hurdle. The sale to women is that the GOP will deny any birth control to any woman anywhere, ever, period the end and the GOP, being the Right faction of the Uniparty, does nothing to combat this total lie.

I'd sooner push Ahmed out of the way in the line behind the goat than fuck either of them. I can live with the shame of fucking a goat. I couldn't live with the shame of fucking her.

Didn't he live in RI?
Why yes, yes he did. Posted by: JackStraw at November 28, 2023 02:27 PM (ZLI7S) I have a friend that went to Brown so I know things. Plus I actually attended one of his EE classes there. I have been to one lecture and Brown and one at Yale Med. The Yale Med lecture happened to cover skull fractures and in particular the one where you get hit in the nose and the sharp protrubance on the inside of the skull gets driven into the brain when the nose bridge fractures. What comes out is more spinal fluid than blood in this instance. I was insuffurable for awhile pointing this out about the scene in Miller's Crossing where the guy gets a shovel to the face; the Cohens had spinal fluid come out his nose and I was giddy like a schoolgirl.

The lawyers were arguing the 1850s definition of insurrection. Since that is what the writers of the 14th amendment has in mind when they wrote it. And that definition was basically: Disagreeing with the government. It is insurrection if someone says it is.
Posted by: Cat Ass Trophy ------ No, the lawyers were making up in whole cloth the history of the 1850's just like they did with the 2A. Scotus has already settled this one in that states cannot add any candidate qualifications to those of the US Constitution other than time, manner, and place of elections. See US Term Limits v. Thornton from the 80's which rested on Powell v McCormick regarding the House's refusal to seat Powell as representative without going through the task of expelling him which requires 2/3rds majority. That is why by and large each move is failing in state and federal trial courts and as the failures accumulate then it is much more likely for Scotus to simply affirm the lower court rulings. Trump's real risk is the DC trial and less likely the Georgia state one or the Florida classified documents federal case. Posted by: whig at November 28, 2023 02:33 PM (5v5d+) 394

Don't you think the Dems are sorry they picked Kamalla? If they had someone even close to competent and popular, they would have dumped Joe a year ago.
They can't... because she is even worse than he is. VP picks matter if age is a concern. You are correct, sir! It doesn't matter if your guy seems vigorous now, the voters will be looking at a 77 year old and thinking "Ya know, we just finished a national nightmare with a demented old man.

Posted by: Nikki Haley ---------- It is because the party apparatus and the candidates themselves probably support abortion on demand. People forget that the GOP for a long time before Reagan was actually much more favorable to feminism, abortion, population control, and the equal rights amendment than Southern Democrats. It was Reagan's legacy to cause evangelicals to move from voting for one of theirs (Jimmah Cartah-Southern Baptist) to Reagan (divorcee and not obviously traditionally religious). It was on pro life policy that moved the evangelicals and faithful Catholics from D-R in the South and North, not Reagan himself. Posted by: whig at November 28, 2023 02:40 PM (5v5d+) 415
