Donald Trump may drop JD Vance for Nikki Haley, ex-Clinton adviser says
  • He would probably become president if he had chosen Haley but there is just zero percent chance he acknowledges he was wrong. This is a Democrat making up theories, not a leak familiar with his thinking.

  • Exclusive: Harris leads Trump 44% to 42% in US presidential race, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds
  • But it's polls by everyone.

    And yes you CAN get unbiased information from a huge corporation. Do you have a weather app? Book publishers are corporations, are Earth Science textbooks biased for one political candidate?

    I'm not saying they CANT be biased, I'm saying you do need literally any evidence before just asserting that they are.

  • Exclusive: Harris leads Trump 44% to 42% in US presidential race, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds
  • They're aggregating polls with a public methodology. Just because an organization exists doesn't mean it is pushing a bias in everything it does. If you're going to claim a bias point it out, say what they are doing to bias the results, you can't infer it from results.

  • Coconut tree
  • I guess she told a story about a coconut tree. I was assuming it was because memers were encouraging Joe Biden to retire and have a relaxing drink out of a coconut under a tree in Hawaii or whatever.

  • Donald Trump is now the oldest party nominee for president in US history
  • I just walked my dog past a big red pickup truck with stickers that had a picture of Biden with "I just shit my pants" and "BLM: Biden Loves Minors" (so classy) and it really struck me how extremely Biden focused the Republican memes have been.

    Like we used to have "Pelosi is secretly running things" or like even Mitt Romney was running against Obama but his attacks were about Democrats as a whole, they were tax and spend liberals building the nanny state.

    The flip side to Trump's immature style is that it IS extremely specific, and like you can't just go "actually it's Meatball Nikki Haley." Obviously you can invent different immature nicknames and memes but it is hard to telegraph them with the convention out of the way.

  • Joe Biden ends re-election campaign
  • After the Schumer leak, this had to happen.

    It has to be Kamala and anyone thinking otherwise is dumb.

    And I don't know if Kamala can win. I don't know if she could do better than Joe would do. But I know she'll do better than what would happen if Joe had a second debate like the first debate.

    If nothing else, this keeps it close.

  • Joe Biden ends re-election campaign
  • He very specifically did not say publicly that he would be a 1 term president. Talking through the idea with aides and someone leaking it does not equal a campaign promise.

    This is a new decision, obviously. He is going to be a 1 term president. But he never promised it.

  • Elon Musk's X pushes Trump tags on all US users
  • If the Trump campaign paid for it as an ad, I'm not upset by it assuming anyone else could have paid to promote an alternative political candidate.

    If it's an in-kind donation to the campaign, that's troublesome.

  • A cool guide to the names of the different types of head coverings Muslim women wear
  • Easy answer, yes if they are doing it of their own free will with informed consent. People can wear whatever they want.

    Hard question, does heavy cultural pressure and implied threats of violence impact your ability to ever truly give informed consent?

  • Police Really Want a Cybertruck, Email Shows
  • Part of being the police is advertising that there are police here, as a deterrent. This works well for that.

    But another part is having fast, reliable vehicles able to out maneuver other cars on the road, to stop criminals after the fact. Not so good at that part.
