Sorry Elon, no matter how high you jump on stage, how rich you are, you will never ever be the POTUS!.
But you can buy Trump, no problem and it will not cost you much. Just make sure you pay him in instalments

Leading Report is at best an extreme right wing biased source but most regarded as a fake news disseminator (same thing essentially). More to the point what’s your agenda posting fake stuff here? Do you think it’ll be influential like it sadly is with morons in the US with power to vote?

What does that actually mean. ? Are the percentages some representation of the odds, or the number of people betting on each, or the relative amounts of money wagered? Theres one vote per person who bothers to turn out, on November 5, right?

It’s about crypto-bro betting. And regardless of that, don’t be conned by HD’s cherry-picked sexy numbers above: their addicts customers ultimately have Trump as a 51% chance to win.

A report by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget’s report, released on Monday, suggests that both candidates in the election are making promises that will increase US debt, but that it is Donald Trump’s proposals that are more expensive.

Tami Luhby reports for CNN:

The national debt would soar by trillions of dollars more regardless of who wins the election, further compounding the country’s fiscal problems. Kamala Harris’ plan would boost the debt by $3.5tn over the next decade, while Trump’s platform would cause it to spike by $7.5tn. The watchdog group’s analysis is the latest in a series of reviews of the candidates’ plans, which generally find that Trump’s proposals would have a bigger impact on the national debt than those of Harris.

Just by a smidge

CNN’s senior data reporter Harry Enten most recent round-up on the state of polling in the key swing states that will decide the election suggests that Kamala Harris has the edge in the Great Lake battleground states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, while Trump is looking stronger in the southern sunbelt states.

However, Enten notes that all of the leads of one or two points in these states are “well within the margin of error and too close to call”.

As it stands he suggests Harris would end up with “276 electoral votes, slightly more than the 270 she needs to win”, but he said if the polls have underestimated Trump’s support – as they did in 2020 – then he could romp home. Likewise, if the polls are underestimating Democratic party support – as they did in 2022 – then she could even reach as many as 319 electoral votes. In a nutshell, all bets are off.

Going for 3 from 3 with a ladder. If you still have a boner for Trump and his ilk do please read this article by Sidney Blumenthal and come at it in any way you can. Ffs, seriously

“In some cases, they’re not people, in my opinion,” Trump said this March. “But I’m not allowed to say that because the radical left says that’s a terrible thing to say. These are animals, OK, and we have to stop it.” When they are removed, it will be, says Trump, “a bloody story”.

Eh, it’s the same as the mastermind/incompetent logic for the Democrats.
You can’t believe Trump is influenced by Mein Kampf if you don’t believe he’s ever read a single novel in his life.

Assuming you’re being lighthearted. Stephen Miller staffed the current crop. Sniff at that at our peril. Somebody is feeding the filthy puppet lines and he has the heritage to happily mouth them.

But whatevs, it’s all on fire already right?

Clearly there is one group that finally worked out that Trump is in essence a Mafia boss!

CNN reports that 1 month out, while Hillary was +5 among white college graduates, Biden was +9 and Kamala is +18.

Or is it just that he is now an unhinged geriatric mafia boss.

Kamala was asked how she would respond to criticism by some women that she is not humble. She responded that that there are many women who don’t want to be humble.
Trump says she’s not intelligent.
The constant denigration of women by the alpha male team. Why are they so frightened of women?

Trump learns by association with criminally minded people. Not by reading, I agree. He was probably dyslexic.

Basically Roy Cohn taught Donald the mafia way. But more recent influences in his transition into politics have undoubtedly been Bannon and Stone . True to form as you would expect, one is currently behind bars, the other was convicted of fraud and pardoned by Trump.

Biden has asked Congress to immediately increase FEMA funds. Johnson said to wait until after the election.
Biden will continue to be President after the election, so why the deferral? FEMA is not a new program, by any definition of caretaker mode, additional funding would not be a new policy.
Natural disasters can’t be timed to accommodate US election cycles.
Trump lied that FEMA funds are being siphoned off to pay foreigners. But then, I suppose that the FEMA officials are unelected bureaucrats and, unlike elected politicians, are prevented from favouring electorates to secure votes for one Party over another. Nature doesn’t discriminate either.
