A butthurt Trump copes by defending the Cheesecake Factory: "I fix things very good, very beautifully and I always build beautiful and inexpensive... He said, this isn't a Cheesecake Factory, can you believe it, which is a very successful company... He doesn't like successful companies"

Everyone @BrianDevine made the obvious meme before I did it seems. Here is his credit for a recycled internet joke. My apologies for not crediting you with an old recycled meme.

Yep, watch the money. Everything else is window dressing.
With just over a week to go, the latest polling and spending decisions make one thing clear: the battle for the House is being fought deep in Trump country. Democrats are now competitive in districts Trump won by more than 15 points. Here’s why:

No one thought that. Maybe some RW echo chamber types, but by and large it was a narrow victory that was acknowledged as such by most people. To the point that up until late that night people in the White House thought he was going to lose based on numbers coming out of Ohio.
I love how GW Bush winning in 2004 by 50k votes in Ohio was a legacy ensuring mandate, but Trump sweeping all 7 swing states, including winning states a 2nd time only he has won for the GOP in 40yrs, while winning by 2 million votes is "barely winning"

Yet I’m in Virginia. It’s a short break at best.
For most Americans, the most exciting thing about Election Day is it means the end of campaign commercials

*whispers* pollsters will also take less heat if they end up underestimating Democrats than if they end up underestimating Republicans this year.
I'm not sure what it would take to de-entrench the presumption that polls systematically underrate conservative parties or candidates. It's not true historically, but it's a cheapie take that will never really get you criticized. web.archive.org/web/20170423…

These lazy-ass narratives kill me. Yep, a program that lasted 6 weeks 17 years ago that took less than 1M cars off the road is the reason new cars are 74% higher, bringing up the used market with it.
For anyone curious about what it actually looked like to kill a generation of functioning cars, here’s an actual video from 2009 and brief explanation: The dealer first replaces the oil with sodium silicate solution. It’s a clear-ish liquid that crystallizes under extreme heat. As the engine warms up the solution begins to form small abrasive crystals in the oil system that shred the bearing and score the cylinder walls. Within seconds of starting the car you can see smoke billowing from the exhaust, this is the crystals scratching the cylinder walls and leaving small grooves for oil and solution to leak past into the combustion chamber and ignite/evaporate, producing the white smoke. Pretty soon the entire crankcase is full of crystals and freshly shredded metal flakes, the engine seizes. It took about 40 seconds in this video. Some engines reportedly lasted up to 7 minutes, but all were destroyed. That strikes me as sort of sad in a way, like watching a great warrior slowly lose a heroic last stand. Now, this is the part that gets insanely wasteful. These cars were sent to federally approved recycling facilities where they had 180 days to sell the non-engine parts before they were required to prove that they had shred the entire thing into scrap steel. But, in talking to a guy who ran one such facility at the time, he typically just sent them straight to the crusher. The timeframes allotted weren’t long enough to dismantle all of the cars, and even if you could, the marginal prices of the parts was greatly diminished. You cannot sell 1000 transmissions when only 50 went bad that year, they became worthless. So just like that, in order to increase prosperity and save the environment, 677,000 entire running cars and trucks were turned directly into rebar worth a few cents per pound. The entire Obama administration was like a chapter out of atlas shrugged.

No, and I would make the case it wouldn’t have been as close as it was.
Biden wins in '24 if he just doesn't do that 1 stupid debate. All his handlers were insane for having an 80 year old fly from Europe to a west coast fundraiser and then back to the east coast for marathon cramming sessions. In old days they'd commit sepuku for such negligence.

Times have been tough in this Ohio town ever since the woke mob closed the old Cheesecake Factory. So when Vivek Ramaswamy promised to legalize child rape, they finally had something to cheer about again. But then Obama said something elitist.

Again they don’t. You might most don’t
The coastal elites hate Americana. We know what they really think, and we know why they are so quickly defending Obama’s snobbery. They might think they are ā€œtoo goodā€ for the Cheesecake Factory, or find the decor to be tacky, but most regular Americans don’t
