The 2024 election politics

Arent they “non-political” now? A judge being considered liberal or conservative isnt about political party, it’s about their record deciding cases. When politicians are making the appointments, they’re going to appoint judges with records that are more accomodating to the politician’s agenda. I dont see there being any way around it.

I miss referees who aren’t biased. Makes for a good “game”.

I also miss when both parties had good players. Now it’s a race to the bottom.

Good news is AZ is likely to pass open primaries I think sanity will prevail…IF we have more elections.

Up another 50% since the last chart I posted, now $50/share. Trump made like $3B in the last few weeks.

Odds are 2:1 on betting sites now.

I would take those odds, but looks like only non-US? Makes me wonder how accurate. Rest of the world thinks DJT has it in the bag

… and nothing of value was lost.

USA Today also won’t endorse her.

Trump's dominating the news again. Maybe that's good news for Harris.?

You can get those odds at many places, including Robinhood, IB, Kalshi, and some gambling sites/apps. If you really want to use polymarket, you’ll have to lie and work a little bit. It’s not that big of deal now that so many places are offering it.

Rather than betting on elections. DJT is now worth more X. Best place to short since it’s thinly traded?

rogan’s super popular Trump interview was hidden by Google/YouTube’s algos to help Kamala (who refused an interview offer, having nothing unscripted to say at all, let alone for 3 hours).

Vance will be interviewed shortly as well. I find him a lot more coherent and articulate than Trump on policy, so that could be a good one.

Twitter/X is private since Elon bought it a few years back. DJT you can short if you’re brave, but looks like it’s going to $75 at this rate. It’s definitely not thinly traded, with nearly $10B worth traded yesterday alone.

Fair enough, I wouldn’t do a naked short Just a small amount as a contrarian election bet. Especially now since polymarkets think it’s up to 69% .

should have followed my gut instincts https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/30/business/trump-stock-truth-social/index.html

One more week of voting irregularities that definitely don’t impact the integrity of Our Democracy, unless Trump wins and then they do.

MI - Illegals voting

WA, OR - hundreds of ballots burned by a “Free Gaza” activist. You can guess which boxes he targeted, and those whose were destroyed may never know they need to resubmit a new ballot.

Shady anti-Trump efforts plan Revolution if they lose, or a scorched earth campaign against him if not.

Seems to be full of psychos representing normal things as shady.

What they should have is a list that can only be posted to by official poll watchers. That’s a thing, right? You can’t open this up to lunatics, they are certain to make a fool of themselves.

in some states, anyone can call foul…one election official knew the complainer b/c she turned in several complaints a day. All BS

In NY, someone who voted in your name earlier than you gets to count that vote, as well as yours if you vote later. Seems ripe for fraud given no ID required.

Tech leaders mend fences with Trump ahead of election

The leaders of major technology companies are making overtures to former President Trump as Election Day nears and the Republican candidate appears in solid position in the final days of the race.

Key figures in the tech world — from Apple’s Tim Cook to Google’s Sundar Pichai to Amazon’s Andy Jassy — have been making calls to the former president in recent weeks as they brace for a potential second Trump term.

Trump said last week that Pichai, who serves as Google’s CEO, called him after he worked a shift at a McDonald’s drive-thru earlier this month as part of a campaign photo op.

“I actually got a call from Sundar. Sundar, who’s great, from Google, he’s a great guy, very smart. The head of Google,” Trump told a crowd of his supporters at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

“And he said, ‘Sir, I just want to tell you, what you did with McDonald’s was one of the single biggest events we’ve ever had at Google,'” he added.

Google declined to comment on the call.
