Harris campaign aides: Internal polling never had her ahead of Trump — HuffPost

“We didn’t get the breaks we needed on Election Day,” he said. “I think it surprised people, because there was these public polls that came out in late September, early October, showing us with leads that we never saw.”

I wonder if this is the same internal pollsters who had Biden losing by 400 electoral votes.  I remember 2020 being about “electability” yet we have the dems running the least electable candidates for 2024. 

If this was a private company running a business, the ceo and the entire leadership board would be fired. A total mess. 

I listened to the entire podcast; not a single question on the messaging around Gaza, lol.

Team Trump Debates ‘How Much Should We Invade Mexico?’

"Within Donald Trump’s government-in-waiting, there is a fresh debate over whether and how thoroughly the president-elect should follow through on his campaign promise to attack or even invade Mexico, as part of the “war” he’s pledged to wage against powerful drug cartels.

“How much should we invade Mexico?” says a senior Trump transition member. “That is the question.”"

I'm so glad we are avoiding pointless wars.





Can we embed Bluesky posts here?

To be fair, nobody is taking this seriously.  Whoever you were quoting was just being a windbag.

On it.

For now it's kind of ugly outside the special thread, no reason for us to not enable the nicer version everywhere now.

If you want to use the ugly embedding for now, it's just posting the "Embed Code" into the Rich Text box.

>The first time Donald Trump talked privately about shooting missiles into Mexico to take out drug labs, as far as his former aides can recall, was in early 2020.

Plenty of credible reports that Trump wants to go to war with the cartels.

ok, but PieGuy i could talk about my worries with Trump all day long.  And in the end, Congress won't approve a bit of this.  So it ends up being hot air.  

The thing about Trump is that he bullshits way more than he has serious conversation about anything.  It's like his life was one big performance.  I'd believe a claim that he wanted to go off to space at 70 whatever years he has, sooner than this.

The nicer version has been enabled sitewide now, it's still not quite as seamless as the Twitter embed but it's good enough for now while we maybe in the future figure out how the Twitter embed functions so we can maybe copy that for BlueSky, Lol. For BlueSky you just open a post, click the 3 dots and click the "embed post" and paste the code into here

Unfortunately it appears as though some people can disable the ability for their posts to be embedded or be viewable on sites outside of BlueSky. It has a lot of user control, I think more than Twitter actually. Another issue right now is BlueSky posts with a video in them have to be opened up to play the video, and then when you edit your post after it's difficult to enter text after where the BlueSky post was embedded.

Yet again, I see that People Magazine is too cowardly to admit who the real Sexiest Man Alive is:

I know that is the actor from the Vampire show but in my mind this is you. If I saw him on the streets, I would think that's the guy from VGChartz that posts in the Ukraine thread.
