He is the smartest pick. The fact that the progressives are against him is exactly why she should picķ him. He balances the ticket and appears moderate.

Yeah, given PA, he's probably the "smartest" pick electorally. I did think he was somewhat overzealous with his condemnation of the University presidents and the protests surrounding the Middle East. I want Harris to reimagine our role in the conflict with people open to all perspectives. If he doesn't get picked, I'll assume there were real fears that his pick may cost her Michigan.

A recession might be coming. Inflation has tied their hands, so the Democrats can't do what they always do...PRINT MONEY. This is a notable inflection point in economic trends.


The US economy added fewer jobs than expected in July while the unemployment rate unexpectedly rose to its highest level in nearly three years, the latest sign of a broader summer slowdown in the US labor market.

Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics released Friday showed the labor market added 114,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in July, fewer additions than the 175,000 expected by economists.

Meanwhile, the unemployment rose 4.3%, up from 4.1% June. The unemployment rate is now at its highest level since October 2021. July's job additions came in lower than the 179,000 jobs added in June.

Notably, the BLS said Hurricane Beryl had "no discernible effect" on the employment data for July.

Good Luck to USA.

Egypt supposedly gave Trump 10 Million Dollars (the same amount he says he donated to his campaign) for his 2016 election campaign.
The same Egypt that bribed Sen. Menendez who was just convicted.

Bill Barr shut down the investigation during Trump's Presidency.
Bill Barr was Trump's MVP and he still treated him like trash.

This is Nigeria levels of corruption.

Five days before Donald Trump became president in January 2017, a manager at a bank branch in Cairo received an unusual letter from an organization linked to the Egyptian intelligence service. It asked the bank to “kindly withdraw” nearly $10 million from the organization’s account — all in cash.
...
Federal investigators learned of the withdrawal, which has not been previously reported, early in 2019. The discovery intensified a secret criminal investigation that had begun two years earlier with classified U.S. intelligence indicating that Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi sought to give Trump $10 million to boost his 2016 presidential campaign, a Washington Post investigation has found.
...
The Post investigation reveals that investigators identified a cash withdrawal in Cairo of $9,998,000 — nearly identical to the amount described in the intelligence, as well as to the amount Trump had given his campaign weeks earlier. A key theory investigators pursued, based on intelligence and on international money transfers, was that Trump was willing to provide the funds to his campaign in October 2016 because he expected to be repaid by Sisi, according to people familiar with the probe.

Wait until there is a Dem house and they get the subpoena power back.
This is something that they will want to and should investigate for the simple purpose of strengthen legislation preventing foreign countries from doing this in the future.

Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is President-Elect! by LordAdam16: 5:26pm On Aug 02
Rasmussen Reports is different from RMG Research.

Rasmussen Reports poll posted yesterday has Trump up +4 against Harris in a head-to-head and has acknowledged that RFK is hurting Trump since Harris stepped in. A multi-candidate race has Trump only up +1 point.
https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/biden_administration/election_2024_trump_49_harris_44

Lots of folks who didn't like Biden and were planning to vote RFK as a protest vote of sorts are returning to Harris.
So most of the folks still planning to vote for RFK now would break for Trump if RFK was not on the ballot.

Most of these polls showing wild Harris upswings weren't polling this election cycle.
RealClearPolling/RealClearPolitics is the authority on polling aggregation.
Anyone can follow the seasoned pollsters like YouGov, Reuters, Wall Street Journal, the Economist.
You can see their polls going back years.

These new guys are all coming out to muddy the pool.
I wonder why that is. The established pollsters all gave Biden the lead in 2020.
If Harris is up +5, NY Times will see it.
Harvard will see it.

Bloomberg came with the +11 Michigan poll when they only started polling in July and had not polled a national race this election cycle.
Then Daily Kos/Civiqs came with another +4. Another newcomer.
Now, RMG Research which has not been tracked on RCP is taking a name very similar to a Republican-friendly pollster and pushing another wild +5.

The Dems are going all out with the suppressive/made-up polling to drive narratives, Harris fawning on the media, and money laundering to make a steal believable.
If Harris fails after all this support, it would be a worse electoral performance than Clinton.

They failed with Russia, Russia, Russian.
Now it's Egypt.

If there was a credible case here Garland would have pursued it.
The Dem majority from 2020 -2022 would have pursued it.
Both came after Barr.

I'm sure they have binders full of attacks that would not hold up to scrutiny but can be pushed in the media to pile on the negative coverage of Trump.
Trump should keep the pressure on but reserve his cannons until after the DNC Convention.
He needs to play it smart.

More of that MAGA conspiracy theorism wrapped in Faux intellectuals.
Most of what you posted is FUD.

Scott Rasmussen founded Rasmussen Reports and left that company and started RMG Research.
Scott Rasmussen has been known to be a right wing pollster.

Your genius argument is that, Republican favoring Scott Rasmussen conducted a poll that shows Harris up 5 'to help Dems with the suppressive/made-up polling to drive narratives to make a Dem steal believable'? shocked shocked shocked

Look at the absolute nuttery of that statement.

You're a baby to this stuff who has clearly little idea what you are talking about. Spend more time googling and less time babbling on with conspiracy theories.

This is a positive that the Right has to hammer on.
That Harris is a terrible administrator who continues to twiddle her thumbs while the border crises rages, unemployment rises, and now unpopular deals are being signed.
Sadly, they don't have the media to blast this out for free so this is already becoming a dud.

Never heard of this. Recession expectations have been high for over 18 months, only lessening a bit in the past 6 months. There's good info in the official employment data that attributes a lot of job creation under President Biden to

(1) Government employment AND (2) Healthcare employment

Both of which are subsidized by printing money for government to spend. Classic Socialist type, Keynesian economics....growth without productivity. They definitely took notes from APC. grin grin grin

Thanks.

I'm quoting from a source here. Verbatim.

The rule is that a recession is effectively already underway if the unemployment rate (based on a three-month moving average) rises by half a percentage point from its low of the past year.

The recent data showed a 0.6 percentage point uptick from the low of the last 12 months.

This is primarily to apply pressure on Powell to cut rates.
Inflation is just shy of 3%. So cutting the rates mean we'll be getting 5% inflation next year and home prices will begin to rise with a vengeance next year.
However, the markets will surge after the cut and the media and Harris' campaign will spin that as a win.

He said what any sane person will say about the protest. His stance on the conflict is the normal dem position.
There is now way you win Pennsylvania and lose Michigan that hasn't happened since 1988. The polls show her doing better in Michigan than Pennsylvania (I don't trust polls) but then the Arab population in Michigan is insignificant to do any damage. She needs Black support and White support to win there and she will.

Powell will be railroaded into cutting rates before the election.
Economic indicators are very, very important in election years.
They did not push out Biden only for Powell to poison the well.
He will cut the rate or he'll be forced out with a scandal or something.
