We live a bit less than a mile from the high school our kids go to.  Every mid-July when summer band begins, I can hear the drums clearly, and sometimes the brass.  It always gets me pumped to think that football is just around the corner.

And I also attend a ton of high school football games now, since my kids are in the marching band.  I'd forgotten just how fun and (relatively) pure the sport still is, at that level.
It’s an event that delivers what it’s supposed to and not much more or less. Always fun.

Are you saying Republicans are a near lock to regain control?  I think they are favored, but I think it could be close, depending.

Here's a nice scenario, for me anyway, the EC ends up tied at 269.  The House elects Harris President, the Senate elects Vance Vice President, the Senate ends up 50-50, and the House ends up with a one vote Dem majority.

Or something like that.  It would be fun.
I want to see Tim Walz vs JD Vance in a cage match winner takes all. Walz gets a beautiful couch with down feather cushions as his weapon of choice and JD gets a horse.

I think...this guy is right. Ka-HAHA will have to take credit for all the good & bad of the last 4 years....and let's face it....it's been mostly just plain bad...because she is technically the #2 person in the entire administration- and she hasn't come out with any policy platform or interviews or long form podcast appearances to talk about how when she's #1 and not #2 anymore how she'd do things differently and on where/what and to what degree she disagrees/varies on policy with the President she's been serving with for the last 3.5 years.

The whole "vote for me because I'm not Trump" shit ain't gonna work. You have to actually give people something to vote for...

The easy Democratic position will be "The economy has been solid, with a few wrinkles, and now we have a plan to fix those issue."

That plan will be, mostly, "Tax the rich", and "Crack down on price gouging", along with claiming inflation was whipped anyway.

Can Harris’s 'opportunity economy' win back 'Bidenomics' doubters?  (thehill.com)
Can Harris’s 'opportunity economy' win back 'Bidenomics' doubters?  (thehill.com)

I think this is a fair summation of the two sides.

Who is that guy?  He seems to scream at the camera while his crowd cheers.  I guess he's a comedian?  I'm not really finding him amusing.

My ignorance of such things is wide and deep, mostly because I do not care.  I gather he is some "comedian" type personage of some note, probably on TV, maybe after my bedtime.  I don't think I've ever heard a Taylor Swift song either, if I did, I was unaware.

I pay more attention to things I find or think are important.  If this Stewie fellow is important, I missed out.
