I was reminded on this pod of the Gretchen Whitmer "Its Shark Week, mother fu$#er" which of course because Trump is terrified of Sharks was a power move.

Tim Miller on The Bulwark podcast today...calls out our great state.

Lets not congratulate Michigan too much. Dar Leaf is still a Sheriff in Barry County. Many of the nutters who wanted to kidnap the Governor and the militia movement are all from here. But, yeah man the kids who waited online at Umich and MSU were heroes for sure. Stamp out the stupid.

This is cross-thread for 2022 Elections, Cleanup thread and the Idiocracy of Trump thread.

The problem in Wisconsin is that Barnes was too prog for the center.

Remaining target of cleanup in aisle lunatic still outstanding (from this election anyway) appears to be Kari Lake losing. My delight meter would peg if she lost. I'd still love a recount that got Boebert out.

Kari Lake losing feels like the biggest remaining win out there. That plus meltdown in MAGA world between Desantis and Trump.

I'm gonna say that there is this thing called grass fed beef but this thread just got weird when I wrote that.

So, this Twitter thing...

Going to read this. BTW, Ben Mathis-Lilly's book about the 2021 College Football season has been very interesting through about halfway through. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/11/trafalgar-group-terrible-polling-2022.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

I was looking at the results for Oakland County to identify neighborhoods where my retirement home could be. If I see a strong vote for the US Taxpayers Party I won't be moving there.

I just noticed this gem Melissa Carone was the Lt Govenor candidate for the US Taxpayer's party for Michigan. Welp.

Brilliant!

Polls as information weapons

Epic MRA is actually the best poll of Michigan but 538 calls it a B- poll

I won’t stamp my foot but …

You might be missing the significance of last night on this

Kherson is being evacuated for real. A move Russia was delaying for a reason...wonder what that was.

Woof for real

posted while at a shooting range which doesn’t lack for these.

After last night's shocking poor outcomes, the Republican party will have a sober, clinical autopsy to identify all the reasons they were rejected by voters everywhere but the state controlled by Ron Desantis. [SARCASMS]

They briefly squeezed out the Liberty Mutual ads on all forms of media. Whoever makes those ads should be embarrassed. More ads like the Behr paint ads. I think I want to see a sitcom with the crazy wife who suddenly wears leather pants and throws her paint at the wall. Or the ad with the girl's college version constantly dissing the adult version of her how she sounds when she eats.

The damage to the MAGA brand was like the rudder being damaged on the Bismarck. The Liz Cheney brand seems to be doing pretty well. The Johnny Horton song was always a road trip favorite. Meanwhile, if you have not...you should watch the movie from the 1950s. I watched it on Youtube with my son the a while back. The Kenneth More character is the quintessential ultra refined British wartime stiff-upper-lip through all manner of suffering and strain. Dayna Wynter as his aide is a smoke show. He of course asks her out for dinner at the end because who doesn't inappropriately date their female underling in the 1950s? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054310/

Interesting stories coming out today about the Trump boat anchor on Rs now.
