Republicans Really Wish Trump Hadn’t Picked J.D. Vance
  • "Vance does worse in his home region at -16 points than he does in the average of all polls… So the people who know him best, the region that knows him best, they like him even less than America likes him.”

    — Polling analyst Harry Enten, on CNN

    Plus, betting markets have opened up on if he'll be retained on the ticket.

  • 2024 Belgian Grand Prix - [PRACTICE 1] discussion thread
  • This is my favorite story about Spa.

    "During the 1973 Spa 24 Hours three drivers were killed. Jochen Mass tells a horrifying story of sharing a car with Hans Stuck and during one of the pitstops at the night, Stuck shouted to him over the noise that he should "look out for body parts at the Masta Kink". Mass arrived there expecting to see bits of car all over the road but was appalled to discover it was bits of a marshal."

    The moral bankruptcy of Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz
  • It's not a disease for anybody who believes in free enterprise. It's true for management and workers.

    Building good product and services is a way to maximize profits. It really isn't an either/or situation.

  • The moral bankruptcy of Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz
  • Spoken like a guy who has never been in business. Maximizing profit is what you are paid to do. I've worked for large corporations and created small companies. Without the realization of that fact, you cannot be successful in either.

  • The moral bankruptcy of Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz
  • So, you're telling me he worked for an investment firm and played a market? I'm shocked. Next thing you'll be telling me is that as a DA, Harris put too many people in jail.

    But, you know the story you won't tell? That they created several million dollar businesses and sent them into bankruptcy, leaving the little guy holding the bag.

    Why? Because, they were actually good at their jobs.

    Emhoff’s ex-wife defends Harris over Vance’s sexist ‘childless cat ladies’ attack
  • I'm old enough to remember the damage caused to Bush Sr.'s reelection campaign in 1992 when Dan Quayle criticized the portrayal of a fictional single mother on the TV show "Murphy Brown." JD Vance takes this line of attack on single and/or childless women to a whole new depth because he's going after real people, not TV characters. This will not end well for him.

    The moral bankruptcy of Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz
  • IMO, Pete Buttigieg is the best political communicator of this time.

    "I know there are a lot of folks who say, 'What's going on with these Silicon Valley folks veering into Trump world with JD Vance, and backing Trump?' . . . We've made it way too complicated. It's super simple. These are very rich men who have decided to back the Republican party that tends to do good things for very rich men."
