“Happiness is a byproduct of function, purpose, and conflict; those who seek happiness for itself seek victory without war.”

I think Harris will take all 7 battleground states comfortably.
I do think we'll be watching until the last vote is counted in Florida & Texas to see how they go – Presidental & Senate (helps that both Senate candidates are disliked even by their base).
Ok, I will admit my prognostication is on the optimistic side. But I didn't go totally crazy and say she will win Iowa.
This may be a bigger ass kicking than even I am expecting.
"I think Harris will take all 7….." A little early in the day to be pounding Bud Lite down, isn't it?
Seriously, I hope you're right. Time to get Vladimir Putin's puppets and syncophants out of US politics, beginning with the orange haired DEI candidate.
Ok, I've been insulted numerous times on this site. It goes with the territory. But there are limits. You are way out of bounds here and I demand an apology!!!
To claim I dring Bud Lite?????
I can't believe you've stooped this low.
Oh, my! I am afraid I agree with you on both counts. I think this isn't really going to be as close as the polls indicate. She might take all 7.
However, the implication that you might drink Bud Lite is a little over the line. Maybe you want to rethink that part, CHB.
Nope. MAGAs hate Bud Lite because of that commercial that had a trans person. It's up to you progressives to show the MAGAs how they're wrong. In this issue only, David, you're in with the progs.
Since it's almost time for Sunday Night Football, and I'm neither a MAGA nor a progressive, I think I'll open one of the Fat Tires in my fridge instead of the originally planned bottle of wine (from Carlson Vineyards in Palisade). Enjoy.
Do you know what Bud Light and making love in a canoe have in common?
They're both fucking close to water.
ps – Fat Tire is one of my favorites too
I heard Eric Idle do that exact joke at the Paramount about 25 years ago, except it was Coors "beer".
That's the version I recall as well (and agree with the sentiment). I do, however, have a weakness for Coors Herman Joseph Private Reserve. I hope that doesn't make me a fascist.
Mine was not a political comment, by the way.
While David and I have disagreed about many things over the years, I believe him to be a discerning individual with a slightly above average set of standards ( That said, I have never witnessed his table manners). He does not strike me as a man who would drink such crappy beer. MAGA opinions aside.
Thank you.
Good Golly Miss Molly, I'm seeing tweets saying Harris is outpolling the Orange Mush in …. wait for it … IOWA! If that holds true on Tuesday, we'll all be yellin' "a-wop-bop-a-loo-bop, a-lop-bam-boom!"
Thanks for channeling Little Richard!
Kenan Thompson did a Little Richard bit last night on SNL too! There might be a portal open somewhere…
This one, 2Jung? https://www.instagram.com/nbcsnl/reel/DB69i4oShvY/
Oh yes indeed!
Let hope dominate over Democratic pessimism!

Good summary of all the people who hate Trump.

Here's mine:
I’m an optimist … and trust Ann Selzer.
I like JiD's version with one small exception. Are you sure that usually red, single electoral vote, in Maine will go blue this time?
Am I sure? Of course not. I'm like every OTHER prognosticator, reaching for a future …. and I claim no special insight into Maine. I've got a bit more insight into NE-02, having lived next to it for 6 years, and close enough in Iowa for another 4.
But I do like the image of a solid NE blue.
