“A Donald Trump campaign volunteer in Massachusetts "will no longer have any involvement" in the campaign after he warned in an email that New Hampshire was "no longer a battleground state," according to the Boston Globe on Monday.

In an email, which was obtained by the Globe, Tom Mountain, a Massachusetts volunteer for the Trump campaign, wrote to other Trump volunteers in the state that "the campaign has determined that New Hampshire is no longer a battleground state," and instead directed supporters to focus on Pennsylvania, another battleground state.

Mountain continued in his email by stating that Trump was "sure to lose by an even higher margin" in New Hampshire than in 2016 and 2020, citing "campaign data/research."

In 2020, Joe Biden won the state with 52 percent of the vote to Trump's 45 percent, while in 2016, Hillary Clinton was able to carry the state by around 2,700 votes. …”

Yes. It was on after school for kids at 4:00 and I watched it every damn day when I was like 9. So, yeah, it's marketed towards an age group that would enjoy whatever that is.

Oh, and this was of course many young boys first crush:

They also had some, looking back, interesting controversies like the fact that the black power ranger was portrayed by an African American actor, the yellow power ranger was portrayed by a Vietnamese actress, the red power ranger by a Native American. I think one did a porn video afterwards. One got arrested.

She looks familiar, who is that?

I never watched power rangers.

Trump equates the economy with the stock price of DJT. Today the price is bouncing around $19/share down from the $66/share close in March

So for Trump the stock market has crashed and the economy sucks

So, he wants to fuck up the American economy like he has DJT?

The question is will the NY Times actually grill him with tough questions, or just let him off the hook as part of their bosiding, Trump-ain't-so-bad campaign?

I have a feeling that there are a lot of NYT editorial board members who would like nothing more than to humiliate Vance. They would be coming at him with knives. Much the same way that Vance would dragged if he showed up on this message board.

The folks who actually work at the Times, who would be conducting the interview, have been wanting to put the screws to MAGA for a long, long time. It's hard when the flag-bearer is Trump, because Trump just launches into his word salad and somehow over the years he's managed to define himself as the crazy ignorant motherfucker who people still like. His superpower is that he has no capacity for shame, probably because he has no capacity to fully realize when he is full of shit. But most people are not like that. This is why the MAGA leaders and celebrities are also ignorant. Being Marjorie Taylor Greene would be hard work for any of us, very hard work and probably we couldn't pull it off because the crazy would eventually prove too embarrassing. But MTG makes it work because she doesn't see the crazy. She just thinks that's the way it is.

Anyway, Vance is a particularly juicy target because everyone at the Times knows that he knows better. And if there is lingering concern that going hard after Trump has a bit of a punching down aspect to it (in the sense that Trump shares a worldview with people who didn't attend college, so going after Trump is a bit like going after them), that's not true with Vance at all. You just can't punch down at a Yalie (except in special circumstances, like a trans Yalie). So the editors will line up to grill Vance mercilessly and I don't think there's anything the publisher can do to stop them (even if he wanted). That's especially true because Vance is so unpopular. What conservative is actually going to spend time complaining that Vance was treated too harshly? They will just say Vance was a disaster.

I would think Vance needs to be on his A game, and even then he's going to struggle. Bret Stephens, for instance (the conversative columnist), will grill him on tariffs and isn't going to accept the answer "I think tariffs don't raise prices." Other folks are going to go after him on different points. It will be unpleasant, to say the least.

As selfish and self centered as he is, I wouldn’t doubt that you are right.

That would be a pretty good debate line for Kamala.

“The company that bears your name — that trades under your initials, DJT — is worth less than 30% of what it was worth at the beginning of this year. And you think Americans should trust you to run the whole economy???”

Even if it’s under cloak of anonymity, I really hope the Arlington employee who this happened to comes forward with her side of the story. Trump saw that this wasn’t going away, so he’s now moved to the gaslighting stage to say that not only was there never an event, but that he had approval by the families. I would love to hear directly what happened and how it contradicts his story.
