2024 Presidential Election | ELECTION DAY 2024

[lawtig02]

Well, hmm, about that fiscal conservative thing . . .

Of course Trump is trying to buy the election. What else does he have? I'd love someone to ask him if all this deficit spending would cause inflation. If not, it means Biden didn't cause inflation either.

He sounds to me like a 7th grade student council candidate promising to replace milk with soft drinks in the cafeteria, but maybe he’s correctly assessing the gullibility of the remaining persuadable voters.

Looks like JD held todays rally in a shipping container.

Maybe it's a secret plan to deport a lot of people. Once you've got them in a shipping container, all you have to do is put the container on a large boat and off they go!

I didn't know that there was such a push for each county to only have one school system.

If that's the case, how in the heck does Catawba County still have 3 different school systems?

It’s been a long time and I don’t remember all the details as to how it works, but IIRC the state doesn’t have any control over the number of districts in a county. The savings by centralizing the administrative functions was the main drawing card for our plan. I figured there were probably a few counties that hadn’t adopted it yet.
I grew up in Hickory and I would have thought Catawba would have adopted it. I can’t figure out why they would still have 3 districts.

He is tweet storming today on a range of topics. I put the anti-immigrant stuff in the Immigration thread.

Some others (merely a sample):

Holy shit he's DESPERATE.

Holy shit he's DESPERATE.

So 36.5% higher from now?

Do you think he focus grouped "Under my administration your car insurance will (only) go up by 36.5%"?

Holy shit he's DESPERATE.

This is sooooo different from his messaging in 2016 and 2020. He was unhinged then, but he wasn’t making these absurd, unvetted, self-defeating policy proposals. I continue to think his internals are a lot worse than what we’re seeing in the public polls. I agree this is a sign of his desperation.

Damn you! Beat me too it.

I know we are all adults here, and I know that I tend to use a little more profane language than I am proud of, so please pardon my language, but this is one completely morally bankrupt motherfucker.

Yes, JD, Kamala Harris wants to enslave you by giving you healthcare and making college more affordable and protecting you from the devastating effects of climate change and bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States and invest in crumbling infrastructure especially in rural and underserved places and make prescription drugs more affordable and protect your children from getting blown to smithereens by semi automatic rifles in their kindergarten classrooms, you know all kinds of Marxist communist socialist bullshit like that. I’ll speak for everyone who is a normal human being when I say, if that’s the case, enslave the fuck out of me. Enslave me harder, in fact.

It's worth remembering that the SALT cap was introduced . . . by Trump and the GOP in the 2017 tax cuts.

I can't wait to read the behind the scenes book about his 2024 campaign.

I would assume Chapel Hill-Carrboro will never combine with Orange County

That’s a “two-lane road” situation.

The Chapel Hill-Carrboro School System (CHCSS) doesn’t want to merge with Orange County Schools; Orange County Schools don’t want to merge with Chapel Hill-Carrboro.

Chapel Hill-Carrboro residents don’t want a merger; Orange County residents don’t want a merger.

Why? Orange County would have to increase taxes and spending to CHCSS levels OR CHCSS would have to decrease spending levels to Orange County levels.

Neither is happening anytime soon.

Agreed. I am fine with OCS.

Lolololllll go on, JD, say it! You know you want to!

What's JD thinking here, folks?
