And it seems to me that a disproportionate amount of the violence occurs in the wee hours of the morning.
So don't go there, but especially not at 2-3 am.
Four reasons why it is MORE likely that Harris voters will be underestimated in this election
Trump maxxed out his support from 'hidden voters' in 2020, surpassing 2016, but I don't believe there's any way he can pull that trick one more time, especially with the way everything has been going for him. He's shedding support rather than adding it.
Instead, I think the polls are under-counting Harris supporters this time, while pollsters have tried to adjust to account for those 'hidden Trump voters' of 2016 and 2020 by inflating the presumed 'Trump vote'. I believe the pollsters will dramatically underestimate support for the Democratic ticket.
Reasons:
#1 Democrats had little in-person ground game in 2020 because of COVID, while the Republicans DID work door-to-door-- and I believe that factor alone accounted for much of Biden's under-performance vs. his polling. THIS year, it's the OPPOSITE-- Democrats have the ground game, while the GOP is relying on outside groups to do their canvassing for them--- people whom leading Republicans are now fretting about, because they have little evidence that the job is being done.
#2 DOBBS DOBBS DOBBS!!! Women aren't forgetting it, and Kamala Harris is doing everything she can to remind them about it. Democrats have been over-performing their polls in elections ever since, because women outnumber men, they are pissed, and they are VOTING for Democrats!!! Special elections, which have been shown to be predictive of later presidential election results, have all been going in our party's favor, with our candidates out-performing their polls by an average of four percent, and sometimes as much as eight percent! (THERE's your "hidden voters"!)
#3 New voter registration among young people and young women has been spiking in excitement over the Harris candidacy, and we now have the "voter enthusiasm" advantage over the Trump voters. This is big. I'll throw Taylor Swift into this mix.
#4 The endless stream of Republicans endorsing the Harris-Walz ticket and speaking out against Trump grows bigger by the day-- and is giving disgruntled Republicans "cover" to vote against Trump. We didn't have that in 2020 except for a small handful, but now it is a river demonstrating how Trump is losing support from members of his own party.
My conclusion:
There isn't going to BE any "overstatement" of Harris support by pollsters prior to this election, and I believe I have just shown FOUR BIG REASONS why it is more likely to be support for Harris which will be underestimated in this election.
It will all come down to GOTV in the end, of course,
but in 2024, we are NOT
"sailing against the wind" !!!!
All the wind is at our back!

C'mon, an 'unnecessary nuisance'? Everyone who posts has both good and bad aspects about where they live to either defend or constructively criticize. Chicago has its problems, but no one takes on myself or newmedman on that subject without wishing they hadn't. 😏
Also, guilt by association (in this case where one is located) can be an unnecessary nuisance.
The Borowitz Report- Melania Says She is Proud of Nude Modeling But Embarrassed About Marriage

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—In a new video released on Monday to promote her forthcoming book, Melania Trump revealed that she is proud of her nude modeling work but “deeply embarrassed” about her marriage.
“I’m glad that I posed for those nude photos, which are an artistic celebration of the female form,” she asserted. “Conversely, there are pictures of me with Donald Trump all over the Internet and I can't take them down."
"I ask the American people to focus on my nude modeling and try to forget about the other thing,” she added.
While admitting there was “no excuse” for having married Trump, she said, "You do things for money when you're young that you regret for the rest of your life.”

Mike Johnson Nears a Deal With Dems in Last-Ditch Bid to Avoid Shutdown
TRY TRY AGAIN
The House speaker will try again to avert a government shutdown, this time with a “bare-bones” continuing resolution.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has reportedly secured a tentative agreement with his Democratic colleagues in both chambers of Congress to avert a rapidly approaching government shutdown.
The development comes less than a week after defections in his own party defeated the speaker’s attempt to pass a spending bill paired with extra legislation prohibiting non-citizens from voting.
The new spending bill will be “a very narrow, bare-bones CR including only the extensions that are absolutely necessary,” Johnson said in a letter to colleagues on Sunday. He brokered the deal with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Democrats, according to The Washington Post.
Congress has until Sept. 30 to fund the government before facing a shutdown.
Johnson previously tried to pass a spending bill with the SAVE Act attached—a Trump-endorsed bill that would ban states from registering non-citizens as voters. Fourteen Republicans joined Democrats to defeat the bill last week.
“Since we fell a bit short of the goal line, an alternative plan is now required,” Johnson wrote in a letter on Sunday. “The feedback and ideas from everyone have been very helpful, and next week the House will take the initiative and pass a clean, three-month CR to prevent the Senate from jamming us with a bill loaded with billions in new spending and unrelated provisions.”
The new bill would fund the government through Dec. 20. It also includes an additional $231 million in funding for the Secret Service to “carry out protective operations, including activities related to National Special Security Events and the 2024 Presidential Campaign.”
Johnson admitted the new bill was “not the solution any of us prefer,” but said funding the government was necessary so close to the election.
“As history has taught and current polling affirms, shutting the government down less than 40 days from a fateful election would be an act of political malpractice,” Johnson wrote, citing a survey that found a majority of voters, including moderates and swing voters, oppose a shutdown.
Schumer said in a statement Sunday that he was hopeful that both sides would be able to come together by the end of the week to pass Johnson’s bill—if the normally disjointed House Republican caucus continues to cooperate.
“If both sides continue to work in good faith, I am hopeful that we can wrap up work on the CR this week, well before the September 30 deadline,” Schumer said in a statement. “The key to finishing our work this week will be bipartisan cooperation, in both chambers.”
In a statement released on Sunday evening, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) also offered light praise of the new legislation, which the congressman called “devoid of any partisan, right-wing policy changes that House Republicans inappropriately attempted to jam into the appropriations legislation.”
He added that his Democratic colleagues would “collectively evaluate the spending legislation in its entirety.”

Kamala Harris Has Biggest Favorability Jump Since George W. Bush After 9/11
‘A VERY DIFFERENT STORY’
The results come as a part of a very positive poll from NBC News on Sunday.

Vice President Kamala Harris got some very welcome news on Sunday in the form of a new NBC News poll that found her leading Donald Trump by five points nationally. But perhaps the most significant finding in the survey of 1,000 likely voters conducted from Sept. 13-17 is her massive increase in popularity since taking over for Joe Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee in July.
Compared to July, when Harris had a 32% approval and 50% disapproval rating (nearly identical to Biden), the new poll finds 48% of respondents view her positively and 45% negatively. The three point net positive approval stands in sharp contrast to Trump’s net negative 13 point result that has remained static over the same period.
As NBC News National Political Correspondent—and data geek—Steve Kornacki and Meet the Press host Kristen Welker explained on Sunday, that 16 point turnaround is the largest favorability increase for any politician NBC has measured since George W. Bush after the September 11, 2001 attacks.
“We were seeing numbers like this for years for Kamala Harris,” Kornacki said of her previous figures, “now you’re seeing a very different story.”
Also speaking on Meet the Press, political analyst Amy Walter, editor-in-chief of The Cook Political Report, pointed out that the new polling shows Harris “is seen as the more likely victor,” which she said means the narrative “has shifted appreciably to Harris' benefit.”
Meanwhile, The New York Times’ Chief Political Analyst Nate Cohn called the new NBC survey arguably Harris’ “best poll result since the debate,” and “not just because she’s up 5 points,” but “because it’s the kind of poll (the kind of poll once called the ‘gold standard’ a decade ago) that hadn’t produced a good national result for her in a while.”
When third-party candidates were added in, Harris advantage over Trump actually jumped to six points, 47% to 41%, with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at 2%, Jill Stein at 2% and Libertarian Chase Oliver at 1%.
And yet, the Harris team is not taking anything for granted. In response to the poll results, which still fall within the margin of error, top Harris campaign adviser Brian Fallon tweeted, “Still an underdog in this race.”

Also speaking on Meet the Press, political analyst Amy Walter, editor-in-chief of The Cook Political Report, pointed out that the new polling shows Harris “is seen as the more likely victor,” which she said means the narrative “has shifted appreciably to Harris' benefit.”
Meanwhile, The New York Times’ Chief Political Analyst Nate Cohn called the new NBC survey arguably Harris’ “best poll result since the debate,” and “not just because she’s up 5 points,” but “because it’s the kind of poll (the kind of poll once called the ‘gold standard’ a decade ago) that hadn’t produced a good national result for her in a while.”
When third-party candidates were added in, Harris advantage over Trump actually jumped to six points, 47% to 41%, with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at 2%, Jill Stein at 2% and Libertarian Chase Oliver at 1%.
And yet, the Harris team is not taking anything for granted. In response to the poll results, which still fall within the margin of error, top Harris campaign adviser Brian Fallon tweeted, “Still an underdog in this race.”

Kamala Harris Has Biggest Favorability Jump Since George W. Bush After 9/11
‘A VERY DIFFERENT STORY’
The results come as a part of a very positive poll from NBC News on Sunday.

NBC/screengrab
Vice President Kamala Harris got some very welcome news on Sunday in the form of a new NBC News poll that found her leading Donald Trump by five points nationally. But perhaps the most significant finding in the survey of 1,000 likely voters conducted from Sept. 13-17 is her massive increase in popularity since taking over for Joe Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee in July.
Compared to July, when Harris had a 32% approval and 50% disapproval rating (nearly identical to Biden), the new poll finds 48% of respondents view her positively and 45% negatively. The three point net positive approval stands in sharp contrast to Trump’s net negative 13 point result that has remained static over the same period.

BitChute – Bias and Credibility
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/bitchute/
Overall, we rate BitChute extreme right and Questionable based on the promotion of conspiracy theories, propaganda, hate speech, poor sourcing, fake news, and a lack of transparency. This source is not credible for accurate information and may be offensive to some (most).
Analysis / Bias
In review, BitChute publishes user-uploaded videos that often contain extreme, misleading, or fake far-right content. For example, they publish videos from right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones such as this UN Propaganda Prepares Pacific Islanders For The Rise of the New World Order.
Based on the content’s offensive and often false nature, we will not provide more hyperlinks to their website. They generally promote illegal content and hate speech that has been banned from other services. Other topics frequently found on the website are neo-Nazism, white supremacy, Qanon conspiracies, and pro-Trump propaganda.
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, “BitChute, is a low-rent YouTube clone that carries an array of hate-fueled material, including white nationalist podcasts, propaganda linked to a murderous neo-Nazi group, and a parody song called “N—– Babies,” which chortles at the idea of slaughtering and then eating black infants.”
Further, during the Coronavirus pandemic, they have frequently published disinformation, such as the banned video Plandemic, riddled with false claims. In general, this is a website that offers disinformation and offensive content. Put another way, it is the 4-Chan or 8-Chan of video. It is not credible on any level.
Any more posts from you featuring that link will be removed.

Short answer my dad would have given....They weren't raised right. The long answer is more complex but suffices to say a significant chunk of our populace needs some serious psychological help.

He's not a supporter of the abortion ruling that IS killing more and more women. How is the Dobbs decision working our for the freedom of women to make the best choices for their health?
He's not an insurrection supporting treason weasel. He did the right thing for the Dems and the country by withdrawing from the campaign.
He's not an election denying voting fraud conspiracy theorist. He doesn't support the nonsensical GA Board of Elections ruling to require the hand counting of about 5M votes; same board Trump singled out for doing a wonderful job. The asshole SAID he wanted the election called on election night; ain't gonna happen in GA.
He doesn't believe in making shit up to make a political point, nor did he ever express a desire to be a dictator on day one. Neither did he ever state that he would be the Dems' retribution.

Pet Eating, Black Nazis…Are We Absolutely Certain This is Real Life?

Well, this time, the Secret Service caught the little dipshit before he could get any rounds off, but honestly, if you don’t get to wear a ceremonial ear diaper, does it even count as an assassination attempt?
Anyway, we’re supposed to cut it out with the “rhetoric” now, about the military cemetery-defiling adjudicated rapist who tear-gassed peaceful protesters in Lafayette Square, because pointing out that he’s a threat to democracy JUST BECAUSE he tried everything he could think of to overturn the election he lost, up to and including inciting a lynch mob, might endanger him further, which is no laugher matter, unlike that time Paul Pelosi got attacked by a hammer-wielding psychopath, that was hilarious.
Look, political violence is always, always wrong, most especially when it would cheat the world of the party we’ll get to throw when that soft, sloppy sack of shit dies in prison. That’s when JFK Jr.’s coming back, y’all, flying a plane carrying Prince, Tom Petty, and a couple dozen enchanted, bottomless kegs. Do not fuck that up for the rest of us, we fucking well deserve it.
All Elon Musk wants to know is when’s somebody gonna get around to shooting at some Democrats for a change? To his credit, he did stop shy of offering his legion of incel fanboys a bounty (or fifty percent off a blue checkmark for six months, anyhow) to do the deed, which I suppose might score him a point or two during his forthcoming interrogation by the Secret Service.
(Of course, the Dotard will never serve a day behind bars, not with his own personal, pet Chief Justice working pro bono, but we may as well enjoy the fantasy. Oooo, I just decided the guards found him in the fetal position, orange jumpsuit bunched up around his ankles, one tiny hand clutching his withered, dusty member; the other, Ivanka’s senior yearbook portrait.)
The Lügenpresse would have you believe JD Vance has been spewing racist lies, for they fail to appreciate the brilliance of his strategy of “creating stories,” about a horde of tabby-devouring Haitians, in order to draw attention to real issues, such as the increased murder rate in Springfield, Ohio, caused by the surge in admittedly-not-pet-eating migrants.
“But that’s not true either!” you protest. Ha ha ha! Poor fools! Do you not see, Vance has cleverly concocted a story-within-a-story! The pet-eating lies were the shiny bauble to capture your attention, the murder rate lies drew you into the labyrinth, where you, you sad, deceivéd libtard, would have no choice but to face the inconvenient truth, that while these migrants may be neither noshing upon Rover nor murdering anybody at all, they’re certainly spreading diseases like HIV at a rate unseen in poor, besieged Springfield!
…which is, of course, also entirely untrue.
Ah, but only now do you begin to appreciate the intricately structured fiction JD has woven, lie collapsing into lie, like a doughy, subpar, white boy fractal, leading to the ultimate truth, not about Springfield, or its essentially upstanding migrant community, but about the Republican Party’s nominee for Vice President of the United States: that he is racist trash, who would happily see residents of the state he represents terrorized by a hate mob before abandoning his vicious little fabrication.
He knew it was bullshit from the very start, by the way. Seems the hogwash that launched a thousand bomb threats originated with a single police report, from a single citizen sleuth, who found some meat in her yard, and, with Holmesian precision, deduced, “why, this meat belongs to my very own kitty-cat, butchered by the Haitian neighbors!” from the available clues, which included, “I have temporarily lost track of my cat’s whereabouts,” and “I am an incurable bigot.”
Pretty airtight, you’ll agree. That the cat was later discovered, uneaten, might give one pause, sure, but don’t let me interrupt you if you were menacing a grade school or anything.
What’s tragic is, Vance wasn’t always such an unrepentant hatemonger, though he’s actually attempted to delete any evidence of that. Anyway, when he’s not siccing white nationalist harassment mobs on his own constituents, JD likes to unwind by plotting the reversal of Obamacare’s protections for Americans with preexisting conditions, and, you know, the sofa thing.
The moment we’ve all been waiting for finally arrived, when Donald Trump unveiled the vulnerable minority group he plans to blame for his imminent electoral defeat. Can I get a drum roll please? Oh wow, this envelope sure is sealed tight, gimmie a sec…okay, got it. And the scapegoat issssssss…JEWS! Obviously, they were heavy favorites. This is Jews’ 2,539th consecutive win in this category.
Golly, there’s so much hate in the news these days, it’s kinda depressing. We could use a lil’ palate cleanser, don’tcha think? Some kitten videos, or OOO WAIT I KNOW! Wanna hear something adorable? Mike Johnson tried to pass a funding bill this week! He held a widdle pwess confwence an’ everything! I’m sure he’ll navigate the Dotard’s shutdown threat with grace and aplomb, like the big, tuff House Speaker he is!
Somehow, in between all the trials and golfing, Off-Brand Orbán found time to launch his very own cryptocurrency, (RapeCoin) which has to be the grifter singularity. Money invested in Trump crypto isn’t merely lost, it disappears entirely from this plane of reality, as though it never existed at all. For pity’s sake, at least get an NFT out of it, ya rubes.
Should he prevail in November, Mark Robinson would become America’s first Black, Nazi Governor, though I personally wouldn’t commission artwork for the commemorative stamp just yet. Maybe something nice and Rockwell-y, of his sister-in-law pissing on him during anal intercourse.
Mark apparently mused that slavery should be brought back, so he could “buy a few,” which gives him something in common with Minnesota state Representative Jeff Dotseth. Now, nobody likes the rule of three more than me, but there’s no way we’d get three pro-slavery statements from Republicans in just one short wee-hang on, I’m being handed an update…
Anyway, seems “Pastor” Robinson enjoys Mein Kampf almost as much as getting peed on by his sister-in-law, which is to say…a lot. Yes, we’ve learned a great deal about Mark this week, for example: he’s learning German, he has an Ashley Madison account, and he will not be the next Governor of North Carolina.
In contrast, all Matt Gaetz did was take a 17-year-old high school junior to a “drug-fueled sex party.” Super gross for sure, but no pee, no Hitler. I mean, obviously, throw both of ‘em into a deep, dark hole in the ground. I assume there’re differences between the Nazi hole and the pedophile hole, but I’ll leave that to Dante.
Former Turd Reich Spokesfascist Sarah Huckleberry Slanders attempted to shame Vice President Harris for her (biological) childlessness, claiming her own children “keep (her) humble,” which, um, no. No they do not. Demonstrably. You could occasionally detect the faintest hint of embarrassment in Sean Spicer’s demeanor, but Sarah’s sneering disdain for the truth is about as close to humility as the White Sox are to playoff contention.
Trump Administration EPA officials illegally retaliated against whistleblower scientists, who obstructed the return to American Greatness™️ with killjoy reports finding new chemicals “caused miscarriages and birth defects in rats,” along with similar petty complaints. I mean, how’re we supposed to develop mutant powers without chemically induced birth defects, ever think of that?
When the texts chronicling this misbegotten stretch of American history are written, the phrase “Rudy Giuliani utterly failed” will appear more than once. Hell, historians will link those four words to a hotkey, saving hours of labor. “Rudy Giuliani utterly failed to book the Four Seasons.” “Rudy Giuliani utterly failed to realize he was in a Borat movie.” “Rudy Giuliani utterly failed to walk ten steps during the RNC.”
Anyhoo, his latest utter failure was to “establish personal jurisdiction” in the nuisance defamation lawsuit he filed against President Biden, but next week could be literally anything. Maybe he gets his dick stuck in something, perhaps a toaster, perhaps an owl, who can say? It’s the magic of Rudy Giuliani!
Look, we’ve all been misconstrued from time to time, and Rich Lowry stands before you today asking to be judged not by the slur which may or may not’ve been peeking coquettishly out the door of his subconscious, but by the years of ignorant garbage he has written and published, much of which has been every bit as racist, but, y’know, way politer. Six of one, half dozen of the other, says I.
Melania Trump asks, “Why do I stand proudly behind my nude modeling work?” I really don’t care. Do U? “Why has the media chosen to scrutinize my celebration of the human form in a fashion photo shoot?” she continues, citing scrutiny which is occurring nowhere on Earth. Given her ol’ ball n’ chain’s insistence that there was an audience at the debate he just lost, I’m starting to think maybe narcissistic hallucinations are sexually transmitted.
Speaking of the debate, I guess some folks need conspiracy theories to explain the Manchurian Manchild’s self-immolation, which I suppose makes sense, because “the game show host I worship proved incapable of resisting the bait he knew in advance his opponent would dangle” must be a difficult thing to say to the mirror.
Near as I can figure, an ABC whistleblower alleged collusion between the network and the Harris campaign, died in a mysterious car accident, and had their face eaten by Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin in a satanic ritual, all without ever existing in the first place. Neat trick. Good enough for Ted Cruz, apparently.
In a party where your presidential nominee uncritically platforms the fabrications of literal, actual neo-Nazis, it can be difficult to stand out as unusually hateful, but I guess Louisiana Senator John Kennedy likes a challenge.
Like the abandoned-in-a-dumpster love child of Joe McCarthy and Foghorn Leghorn, John managed to squeeze a genuinely impressive number of Islamophobic stereotypes into a brief, TV-friendly window during a Judiciary Committee hearing, culminating in telling the Arab American witness he was berating, “You should hide your head in a bag.” The hearing was on hate crimes, incidentally, which, it appears, the Senator is for.
On his Senate campaign website, Eric Hovde describes himself as a “classic entrepreneur,” who “made a career out of rolling up his sleeves, getting businesses back on the right track, and building for the future,” oddly omitting the “smuggling $26 million worth Mexican drug cartel money over the border by airplane” part, most likely because his sleeves were buttoned at the time, surely.
Neuticles, the company that manufactures cosmetic testicle prosthetics for neutered dogs, announced a massive expansion into southern Lebanon, wonder what that’s about?
