I received my sample ballot today and can honestly say that I do not see a single person on the ballot that I am comfortable endorsing.

I am guessing my streak will continue. Not a single candidate that I have voted for for president has ever won.

Kamala is holding a campaign rally in Houston TX on Friday.

Honestly not sure what to make of this.

Ditto, but I really don't give a rat's patooie.

I've ALWAYS voted Libertarian with one exception: George McGovern back when I was in college.

Just voted for Chase Oliver.

Now i can sleep "the sleep of the just," having discharged my "duty" to vote.

Voted today.
He gave me a good look over when I mentioned I didn't even live in the county I'm voting in when the clerk saw my strert address was just 6 letters.
Got a new drivers lisc and my street address is my RV license plate due to a new FL law.
I now have 3 legal addresses
Residence address which is the local courthouse that allows me to vote
Mailing address which is the myrvmail.com building
My RV license plate address as my street address on my ID

Reds have to sweep to root out the corruption (Gitmo).

Not much will happen otherwise.

Harris looks good anything less than 22%.

Red Sweep has to be about 60% to compensate for the fix.






Only Trump 64.3%:

Up another point on the Red Sweep and a couple on Only Trump.

The previous high on the Sweep was 55% in July.

If a Red Sweep will occur around 60% or so, price should back off at 55%, and then form a handle (downward) to break through up (momo) before election date.

Obama at a rally today.

Quote:
Donald Trump is a 78 year old billionaire who hasn't stopped whining about his problems since he came down that golden escalator 9 years ago. And he's complaining, 2...3 in the morning. He's texting!

What's he doing?

When he's not complaining, he's trying to sell you stuff. Have you noticed that?

Who does that? Yeah, you're running for President and you're hawking merchandise.

Give Politico credit, not for supporting Trump, but for pointing out what a bad campaign Harris is running

The latest one is the appearance in WI with Liz Chaney , where "they were preaching to the converted"

Quote:
The event was explicitly aimed at those moderates and onetime Republicans who remain up for grabs, and may decide the election, but the rhetoric seemed better suited for those in the audience wearing “The Lincoln Project” and “,LA” t-shirts... Harris said nothing specific about how she’d govern, mentioned no looming issue on which she’d work with Republicans and offered no reassurances about leading the country from the political center.

And, of course, there was no critique of her own party or even an expression of sympathy or understanding about why voting for a liberal could be difficult for a longtime conservative.
