Has anybody actually read the Green New Deal? Kind of amazing the use of that term without a definition of what it is.
First to NBC News: The group is launching a push in swing states and House battlegrounds to help “gun safety champions” with ads, polling and staffing to reach key groups of voters.

"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.”

Plus, betting markets have opened up on if he'll be retained on the ticket.
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."
After Trump vowed that he would debate the Democratic incumbent "ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANYPLACE," Trump backed out of that promise when faced with Harris

I've only seen such opinions from Iron curtain countries that strive to get enough toilet. paper. Good luck with that, btw.
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.
That Beyoncé back really drives this.
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.
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.
You know where "close" counts?
Not really. I'll give you a "for instance". Few people know this story.

In this case, although in danger, Trump was being shot at by someone who couldn't shoot.
It is relevant to history. You can either tell the Trump story that a bullet hit his ear, or you can say that he caught shrapnel.
“There is some question about whether or not it was a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said Wednesday.

You know, I think Democrats might just be good for the economy.
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.
Gross domestic product in the second quarter was expected to show a 2.1% annualized increase.

Kerstin Emhoff leaped to Harris’ defense branding Vance’s attack as ‘baseless’ and calling the vice president a ‘loving, nurturing, fiercely protective, and always present’ co-parent

So the Mayor of South Bend, Indiana, fixed the price of bread in Canada? My, my. And who do you fix prices for?
All those women in the Devine Nine are going to work like crazy to elect Harris. She is actually forming a secret army.
Right, because "Asshole for President" has such a great ring to it.
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."
Before doubling down, it might be wise to know what you are doubling down on. Aggressive foolishness is still foolishness.
I didn't call him a hero, though, I called him humble and good. In your zeal to urinate on corn flakes, you forgot basic reading skills.
