Here is a little post from Breeze. We fly them a lot as they go direct to Akron/Canton. Smaller known airline but I recommend. 

Get that picture with the sign framed.  That is awesome.

What demographic is Kamala doing better than Biden did in 2020? 

It seems she is doing worse with union workers, African Americans, and people age 18-29. These are all usually a big part of the democrat base. I know the polls have it close but she seems to be doing worse in every demographic and that election was really close.

Add Latinos too, I believe.

Kamala is doing very well with the college educated millennial women.

She's also doing very well with the college educated "wife guy" types.

What’s a “wife guy”?

Axelrod a democrat strategist says out loud what many are thinking.  The mentality of the elite.

Inept federal response black majority republican president.  Racism.  Inept federal response white rednecks democrat  president.     ???

So, the upscale blue dot people of Ashville will be able to figure out how to vote, but the poorer people in surrounding areas will not? 

Why would he say that in public ? 😂

Oh, you know the type of guy who is happy to stand in the shadow of their wives. The future is female types with soft hands and softer voices.

Currently the one who is most prominent with lots of name recognition is Doug Emhoff.

Ok, so I revise my above statement. I have seen a handful of vids now where people are saying that the fire chief of Fairfield, NC has been turning away people coming in on private copters to help with supplies. Now, I'm not sure why, it can be for any number of reasons. Here is one of the vids where it gets into that. Go to 4:45

Apparently there is more to this story. I'd sure like to know more about this!

This is from a Starlink engineer to Elon Musk:

Ah, so it's the Other Side version of "stupid, racist, hillbillies" being used for Trump supporters.

You can't try to rationalize or apply logic to political calculus.  What Axelrod said isn't losing them Trump voters.  The whole point is to energize the base and create enthusiasm - "our chance of winning NC just got better because poor Trump voters won't be able to vote!!!"

It's just another example of Democrats pretending to care about "every vote gets counted" when really they only care about THEIR votes being counted.

And, apparently, before Kamala he was just another rich, bitch-slapping white male (so obviously MAGA).

Man, being a "MAGA wife giy" would have to so damn awkward. Your every thought is a contradiction!

I don't think it's intended to be a dunk on Doug Emhoff. MSNBC's Jen Psaki gave him the title and asked him if he knew what it meant. It's something that the Dems find to be a perfectly acceptable new version of masculinity.

As for bitch slapping, that's 100% possible,.but I don't know how probable. He admitted getting the nanny pregnant during his first marriage but has denied slapping his ex girlfriend. As sadistic as Kamala Harris is, it's more probable that she does the slapping in that household.

Supporting your wife being a negative is a weird vibe lol 

Vote all of them out. They don't deserve to hold office.

Goes back to me previous post about the passage of a short term CR and how Congress cannot pass a budget on time.

Now, in this cycle, the republican freedom caucas did not agree to any of the spending levels that House Speaker Johnson offered, so Johnson had to work with Democrats to pass a short term measure to fund till December at the current rates..leading to this current problem. 

It's funny, I feel like half this board likes it when Congress doesn't do anything or is in gridlock. Well, this is what you get.

Congress always votes for a short holdover this time of year. If not every year, darn close. The fix is easy: you put a freeze on war spending and direct that money to FEMA. And make it so that ONLY US citizens are able to receive that assistance. Fuck anybody else.

Seems our Congress spends more time enjoying Lobbyist Lunches than they do actually putting out bills to be signed that will actually help people when they need it - such as East Palestine, Maui, survivors of Helene, etc. To hell with all of them, except Massie.

As far as gridlock goes, I usually don't grumble too much. But with such a large swath of the US facing horrific conditions they need to stop campaigning and get their asses back to DC to do what those people need them to do.
