I almost included that exact clip, but felt like it was too off topic. Glad that I’m not alone on thinking that

I remember seeing an analysis that said the reason nothing sticks to Trump is that there’s just so many negative stories that none of them really gain traction. There’s nothing simple like “But her emails!!!” To get anyone riled up.

Why are we looking to a Newsweek article about Nate’s blog, instead of the blog post directly?

Last update: 9:30 a.m., Friday, September 20. The theme of the week remains mostly strong state polls for Kamala Harris, like this batch from Morning Consult, which helped her even though Morning Consult has consistently shown some of her better numbers.

Indeed, today marks the 3rd time so far in the election that the streams have crossed in the forecast — Harris is technically the favorite in the model for the first time since Aug. 28 — but the race is a toss-up and that will happen a lot when the forecast is so close to 50/50.

Note that these margins are still razor thin. Voter turnout (and related factors) will be absolutely critical to the final results.

No, it was absolutely a Mafia-style threat. Here is the entire article, emphasis added:

Politico reporter Adam Wren, while reporting on potential Trump attorney general Mike Davis, was subjected to ominous threats and intimidation from an unidentified Trump ally.

As part of his lengthy profile of Davis, Wren wrote about an experience he had writing down notes about Donald Trump Jr. telling Davis that he wanted Davis to be Trump’s next attorney general for the next four years.

At this point, an unidentified woman accosted Wren and demanded that he hand over his phone and delete the notes he had taken.

Wren then tried to leave the area – but was subsequently blocked from the exits by four men who similarly demanded that he hand over his phone.

Davis tried to explain to the woman that he had to catch a flight to meet up with his family, to which she replied, “You should have thought about your kids before you did what you did.”

“After roughly 15 minutes of this standoff, I searched for another exit,” Wren continued. “I ran down a hallway into a stairwell. Two people followed me. When I was out on the street, Davis called me. By this point, Davis had confronted the aide near the elevators and dressed her down. You don’t ask a reporter to delete their notes, he told her, according to both Davis and a second person he recounted his remarks to briefly after. This isn’t North Korea.”

The Trump campaign subsequently investigated and claimed to Wren that the woman in question was not formally involved in Trump’s campaign.

5 people believed that they had a right to do any of that, on any level. It had nothing to do with a flight.

You should have also reported it to your state Attorney General.

It’s a sobering detail of our situation. In 2020, Trump really did receive more votes than any candidate in any previous election. That means a ton of people showed up to vote for him in 2020 that hadn’t in 2016.

He frames it weird (and it sounded weird when he said it) because otherwise it raises the obvious point that Biden also achieved that same record, plus an extra 7 million votes.

The same can be said for Ohio. Both of them used to be swing states, and potentially could be again, but are not currently.

They each have their own protection detail. Each will quickly move to protect the one they are responsible for, which will mean separating them (probably by a lot of distance).

Someone under SS protection can choose to waive it. There are some former presidents who deemed it unnecessary later in life.

No idea about the rest of your hypothetical

You’re getting down voted because this entire thing is literally about the book he published.

Often there are contracts. Sometimes for a very long time, often multi-year. There are sometimes escape clauses (like a morality clause for a spokesperson), but these aren’t easy to invoke.

I suspect many of them are up for annual review/renewal, when they can be terminated without penalty. It might also just be an attempt to get better terms.

Everything is now 16.9oz (500ml). I think it started from bottled water

Now I miss Fruitopia, and 20 oz bottles…

Uber’s insurance is pretty bad. Many get the additional coverage from their regular insurer anyway because of this. That coverage also (usually) applies to this situation as well.

There’s a fundamental flaw in your premise. If we envision a world where everything is EVs, very little of it will be DCFC. Instead, level 2 chargers will be everywhere. Think of what you see in parking garages, except much more of it. Your car spends almost all of its life parked. You also (probably) rarely drive more in a day than the battery can hold.

Level 2 chargers are simple and low maintenance. They also end up being cheaper for everyone involved. These are already very profitable ventures, but they don’t exist much at dedicated charging locations. Instead, they are and will be at places that people park for extended periods.

DCFC will mostly be along freeways for longer trips, and a limited number within a city for things like delivery drivers.

I’ve never used it, but Crossover Office was developed largely to get MS Office working on Linux. It looks like it’s still maintained.

It’s at least worth looking into.

It’s like those people who bought plane tickets to January 6th, thinking they would go there and violently overthrow the transfer of power and kill any congresspeople that stood in the way of it, and then they could go home and show up to work with Trump now in power and everything would go back to normal.

Do you remember when armed militants invaded the Malheur wildlife refuge in Oregon, setting up what was sure to be a long, violent standoff with police and military?

2 weeks in, they arrested one of them. He’d taken a stolen ranger truck to get supplies at Safeway.

You can’t reason people out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into

He (and the rest of 538, where he was at the time) were criticized at the time for giving Trump much better odds than most. They were still wrong, but less so than the rest.

The problem is that their competitors are similarly bad, albeit in different ways. I would be surprised if Home Depot has a DEI program next year.

Remember: No actual doctors are involved in executions. It is exactly that scenario that is forbidden by the Hippocratic oath.

When the state is making any claims about medical concerns, it is NOT coming from a doctor.
