Milk chocolate?
I saw what you did there
Milk chocolate?
Probable causes:Literally wtf:
The Texas abortion ban increased pregnant women's mortality rates by more than 50% here. The exceptions for when the mother's life is at risk are there in name only.If it works out this way it's probably because Trump squandered almost every advantage and R crafted near total abortion bans that are getting women killed are, in fact, really unpopular.
Only problem is Trump isn't running on his horrible policies like defunding Social Security and getting rid of the $2000 Medicare prescription drug yearly cap, unlike when Romney pissed away a layup of an election against a weak incumbent by telling the truth that he was going to end Medicare (except for the boomers in his base he needed votes from).Yep. Republicans could have had a layup of an election, but they decided to scatter about a ton of rakes for themselves to step on.
And Texas sucked for maternal mortality before this debacle.The Texas abortion ban increased pregnant women's mortality rates by more than 50% here. The exceptions for when the mother's life is at risk are there in name only.
Blue states are shooting themselves in the foot though by prohibiting or slow walking the construction of more housing, slowing their population growth relative to Sunbelt states.This is why Florida and Texas won’t turn blue anytime soon. Conservatives from blue states keep moving to Texas and Florida. If Texas didn’t get an influx of CA conservatives it might have been blue by now.
Really hope so. We all owe you for fighting for us against fascism.Updated:
I spent 3 weekends canvassing for Harris in Montgomery Country PA. Here just a few things of note by me.
We went to households with Democrats, Independents and Libertarians asking for votes.
In my case most people didn't answer the door.
Harris/Dems voters were mostly enthusiastic.
Encounters with Trump voters were mostly rude. Some of the canvassers were threatened by Trumpers including me.
A woman said to me through Ring doorbell, "get the fuck off my porch or I'll sick m dog on you. I said, "Ok I'm leaving. Another canvasser was chased into the street by a guy in his pajamas. Another canvasser was yelled, cursed at and he ripper up her materials in her face.
People drove/flew in from as far as Virginia, Maryland and San Francisco to canvass in PA because we are ground zero for the election.
Harris lawn signs were being stolen.
There were no signs on any Republican get out the vote presence seen by anyone. I think the Democratic ground game is so strong and people are so determined I think it will make the difference.
Man when people don't follow politics they really don't follow politics.
I mean if there were ever a signal that people think trump is boned....
I'm convinced that stock was setup for rich billionaires and foreigners to launder money to Trump.Looks more like a large shareholder dumped their shares.
Crazy, no-reason mail in voting should be a federal mandate. I voted like two weeks ago in my underwear.I'm hearing a report from Temple University (Philadelphia) of a 2 hour wait. WTF??
Why in 2024 are people having to wait for 2 hours? This is a way to suppress the vote. Why are there not more machines?

That only works if he sells shares to realize capital gains, which he hasn't thus far. IF he loses the election, that stock is primed to drop hard and fast and he'll never have another good chance. Guy was too dumb to sell off a tranche a couple weeks ago. It's free money (subject to tax), but if he doesn't capture the presidency, he'll need a LOT of liquid assets to cover his legal penalties and expenses.I'm convinced that stock was setup for rich billionaires and foreigners to launder money to Trump.
I think the same thing for those 100K watches.

I imagine his advisers told him selling would be a bad look going into the election, and tank the share price, so he probably listened to them.
Urban areas getting intentionally fucked over by limiting voter machines/precincts is a decades-old known problem.I'm hearing a report from Temple University (Philadelphia) of a 2 hour wait. WTF??

No chance she would be in court getting a huge divorce payout and honestly with the age difference and his hugely pampered life, I’d bet she’d kick the shit out of him.
Yes, he has to file paperwork with the SEC within 2 days. I suppose you couldn't put securities fraud past him, though. Elon routinely flips the bird to the SEC and lets his lawyers deal with it.Maybe his sale is what tanked the price today?
I mean, would we know if he just chose to sell?

But voters in UK and France rejected conservative takeovers of the government, suggesting the same could happen in the USA.It's going to be a hell of a win if Harris pulls it off, given the worldwide incumbent backlash across recent elections around the world.
I tried getting permits to open a garbage dump in Atherton Ca. but got blocked by local residents. Seems they don't want garbage next door. Do you think the same principle might apply here? I've heard some unsavory stereotyping about people from the South. It's almost like Southern White people were an inferior race. Word is they even turned their religion into garbage. Of course, I don't believe a thing I hear. It's just that people tend to resemble what they were taught to believe and that has a lot to do with their local environment over which none of us can control at this late date. Many of us were born surrounded by idiots. That's how I became one. No harm no foul. It's couldn't have been otherwise.Blue states are shooting themselves in the foot though by prohibiting or slow walking the construction of more housing, slowing their population growth relative to Sunbelt states.
