Comment on Down to the Wire

This week, soon after his 100th birthday, former President Jimmy Carter was able to vote in his home state of Georgia—in part thanks to protections under the Voting Rights Act. As his grandson Jason Carter explained in a CNN interview with Jake Tapper, voting assistance protections in Georgia allow family members to help cast absentee ballots (the vote can still be discarded if a signature or mark on the ballot does not match what is on file, per Georgia law). “He sat down and told everybody what he wanted to do, and was excited about it,” Jason Carter told Tapper.

The next time some asshole says something stupid about betting markets and politics, like "More accurate than polls, because real money is on the line" it's worth reminding them that as with any market prices can be manipulated. And that's apparently the case with Peter Thiel's Polymarket recently. Just four accounts have flooded the market with $30mil in bets recently, distorting or inflating Trump's chances against Kamala Harris. Unlike with stock exchanges, there are no safeguards against price manipulation.

Did you see Dave Bautista's Trump takedown? Masterful. If ya missed it on Jimmy Kimmel, it's almost definitely the single funniest takedown of Trump's so-called "manhood" anyone's ever produced. This video combines Bautista's hits with Kamala Harris' riff on how Trump's truly weak during her appearance on Charlamagne Tha God's podcast.

Is Walz “misspeaking” again, or is he just a “most notable coward” who doesn’t take care of his own?

Netanyahu has got it right. He doesn’t need to listen to the Democrat regime, an entity that has failed him and Israel from the get-go.

There’s no question that Ohio’s a red state, while its voters reflect the same malaise that’s common across America, along with a deep distrust of the current government.
