I was listening to this broadcast on the radio yesterday driving home from my kids' football game and I was wondering what the picture they were laughing so hysterically about looked like "JD Hemsworth" lmao
So thanks Bird, I needed that
Meanwhile, 538 has Harris at 2.6% ahead currently with no polls showing Trump leading and RCP has Harris 2.2% ahead with only the Rasmussen poll showing Trump ahead by 2%.

2-3% popular vote win depending on who you ask.
But perhaps the numbers we should be looking at, are the polls in the swing states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and North Carolina. Trump - according to 270toWin - needs to win at least three of them to get to 270. He's only very slightly ahead Harris in North Carolina atm by around 0.8%. Harris has a slight or small lead in the other three. I'm worried about him narrowing Harris' lead in Pennsylvania a bit, according to the last poll made there.

Holy crap, Milton has explosive intensified into a strong category 4 hurricane as of the 8 am CDT advisory.

It's a cat 5 at least unofficially now based on recon flights. Welcome to the new normal, rapid intensification was one of the big things we were warned would be common place under a warming climate.
Meanwhile the GOP doesn't have any urgency to get back to congress to vote for a FEMA boost.

Good heavens.
I hope it weakens before it hits Florida.

Hurricane Helene last week caused unreal damage to western North Carolina up in the mountains.
It is the 2nd deadliest storm to hit the US mainland in the last 50 years.
232 dead and hundreds missing still.
Hurricane Katrina easily 1st with 1800+ deaths.

Hurricane Milton upgraded to Category 5 storm as Florida orders evacuations
Milton’s center could come ashore Wednesday in the Tampa area, and it could remain a hurricane as it moves across central Florida toward the Atlantic Ocean.

Sources at ABC claim DeSantis didn't want to take a call from Harris over Hurricane Milton.
Please God, deliver Uncle Milton to Mar a Lago and invite him in!
The heavens are angry, Hurricane Milton strengthened a lot!
With 180mph winds and a pressure of 897mb, it is currently stronger than Katrina.
Hopefully it weakens down to a Category 3 before it hits Florida before dawn on Thursday in the dark.

From NYT.
Former President Donald J. Trump vividly recounted how the audience at his climactic debate with Vice President Kamala Harris was on his side. Except that there was no audience. The debate was held in an empty hall. No one “went crazy,” as Mr. Trump put it, because no one was there.
Anyone can misremember, of course. But the debate had been just a week earlier and a fairly memorable moment. And it was hardly the only time Mr. Trump has seemed confused, forgetful, incoherent or disconnected from reality lately. In fact, it happens so often these days that it no longer even generates much attention.
He rambles, he repeats himself, he roams from thought to thought — some of them hard to understand, some of them unfinished, some of them factually fantastical. He voices outlandish claims that seem to be made up out of whole cloth. He digresses into bizarre tangents about golf, about sharks, about his own “beautiful” body. He relishes “a great day in Louisiana” after spending the day in Georgia. He expresses fear that North Korea is “trying to kill me” when he presumably means Iran. As late as last month, Mr. Trump was still speaking as if he were running against President Biden, five weeks after his withdrawal from the race.

Trump’s Speeches, Increasingly Angry and Rambling, Reignite the Question of Age
With the passage of time, the 78-year-old former president’s speeches have grown darker, harsher, longer, angrier, less focused, more profane and increasingly fixated on the past, according to a review of his public appearances over the years.Former President Donald J.

Vice President Harris appears to be recording phone calls of this nature.
Here she is talking to Mayor Esther Manheimer of Asheville, North Carolina which got creamed last week by Hurricane Helene

These kind of headlines makes me think if the water supply in US is tainted with lead or laced with narcotics or something!

From my perspective over the other side of the pond 2016-2020's Trump was okayish/tolerableish
...but now...how can the republican party really consider him a candidate for POTUS!?
Why couldn't the world have a Haley VS Harris!?
Trump: Gaza could be ‘better than Monaco’
“It has the best location in the Middle East, the best water, the best everything,” the Republican presidential contender said.

I guess one could say that Trump and his family are pretty tone deaf to the reality of Gaza.

He said the same thing about North Korea: that it has a lot of developable beachfront property.
His mind can't think in any more complex terms.

Reminds me of Lex Luthor's evil plan in Superman (1978), where he wanted to nuke the California fault line to split the state in half with a massive earthquake that would create thousands of miles of new beachfront property out of what was formerly sparsely populated desert.
It's a little surreal, how similar Trump is to an actual Bond/Comics supervillain.
