I think it relates to the “don’t take him literally” BS. Cult members eat it up completely, on the fence voters may not see it as that far out, we see it as totally nuts.

Voters tend to have short memories. They remember food being cheaper back in the Trump presidency, but may have forgotten much of the chaos (particularly the voters who don’t pay much attention). So saying something we consider obviously crazy doesn’t just inflame the cult members, it points attention towards the nascent racist leanings of some outside the cult.

Thanks Romad, for the background info. I had always thought JD stood for Jumbo Dork, which really suited him.

This could go in several threads, dropping here.

Typical MSM story-the reporter was instructed not to ask the Haitian dude for cat recipes!!! It’s all rigged!

Let’s get that wall at the border with Haiti up ASAP!

My take is that McVay is an egomaniac.

Regarding the idea that Trump voter defection all happened back in 2018 or in 2020, I think J6 happening after that would add to the defections. And to the intensity of independent voters who might be tempted to side with him. Not everyone of them, of course, but enough I am fervently hoping.

During the worst of covid I would sometimes get grocery orders and pick them up in the dedicated parking spots. Most times it was brought to me by people that appeared to be under 25. Several of the young guys would use boss, as in “want me to close the hatch, boss?”. It seemed like a generic term, one they threw out dozens of times a day, with no caste/power implications IMO. I hear it far less now (and don’t do grocery orders) so I assumed it was a slang term that had its day and was fading out.

Just got back from watching Sing Sing. Highly recommend.

Thanks for asking…it’s been pretty good. My gf and I are on the same lot now after putting $ and effort into converting a detached garage into a nice living space and workshop. Some adjustment there, after having lived 5 miles apart for the previous 9 years. Sharing expenses has made my SS income workable. She will retire in a year, which will be another adjustment. I am very lucky. How has your retirement been? Sounds like you are traveling quite a bit. We have done some traveling but not a big one yet. Scotland and also a trip to Switzerland and SW Germany are in the plans.

The deepest state!

You guys are just mad because you couldn’t go falconing with him this weekend.

Matt was my AAT last year and broke a long string, from the old board, of me picking marginal or bad players. This year he’s been even better. Good job Harris picking him up.

Jimmy Carter in a wheelchair, exclaims vote for Harris/Walz and expires.

I wasn’t getting very agitated by the bomb threats, but upon reading they included a bowling alley lounge I have upped my concern level appropriately.

ASP too.

Maybe Shelby Miller without the gopher balls. And no, I am not endorsing Miller.

I need to work the word confounded into my vocabulary.

Don’t see any Kerch bridge news yet-I have been hoping for it to get fully hosed for two years.

Maybe if we all started calling them Manfred Jammies.

My problem with the City Connects is the MLB decision to institute them, far more than with the Tigers version. Alternate jerseys to honor the Negro Leagues, I’m onboard. The City Connects seem contrived - but if you have to do them, the Tiger version doesn’t bother me.

Franyerber!

I think MLB limited the armor after he had used it.
