That sound you can hear is a choir of tightening sphincters belonging to the board of Citizens Property Insurance Corporation.
They're the Florida-government-owned, not-for-profit insurer-of-last-resort for property.
They're the ones about to see huge claims as increasingly frequent and extreme events caused by climate change start to bite economically for many who deny climate change is real.
My mind is mulling over the conversation in some gaudy club room in Mar a Lago where they developed their election strategy:
"So Sir, in any strategy like this it's important to realize your place in the Hater/Hatee dynamic and to bring the electorate to hate the hatee also."
"Don't patronize me, ok? My uncle was at MIT. I'm against Haiti. I get it. Now get me Pat Robertson's playbook from the shelf up there. I'm a very stable genius!"
Post debate, it occurs to me that persuadable republican voters and independents might reflect on the way that Kamala repeatedly baited Trump into distractions and blunders.
They might reflect that Trump repeatedly fell for them like a dopey dalmatian chasing after a bone.
They might reflect on that and wonder which of the candidates on stage they'd like to send to negotiate our nation's interests on the global stage - the woman in control, or the man she's able to control so easily.
Mmwahahahaha
Look at the price of the REP24_WTA contract following that debate. That's 26 cents on the dollar.

I asked ChatGPT about the future of labor, consumption, and the market in a world where human labor has been priced-out by AI and robots.
It gave a pretty good answer.... https://chatgpt.com/share/32abcc8c-7b20-4e04-830f-0cd65bdb3727
If our democracy prevails after January, I suspect we'll see a good number of right wing bloggers and journalists who will claim to be "unwitting victims" in these Russian disinformation schemes.

I know the electoral college gives a 5 point advantage to the GOP, but the Iowa Electronic Markets suggests that the GOP's chances in Nov are still not great.😆

Help me out, Coso legal bods. How is this not a fairly blatant violation of the Hatch act?

#FUNFACT - If Putin thought Trump was gonna get back in he would have held out and done this prisoner swap deal with Trump instead as he knows he can manipulate and coerce Trump for a better deal.
Putin has done this deal now because he knows there's not gonna be a better one on the table. Ergo - Trump is cooked and no longer useful.
And that's fucking hilarious.
