you guys seem to forget.. conservatives don't like early voting and they sure as hell hate mail-in ballots. They're all showing up tomorrow.
So blue voters, don't you fucking dare celebrate early. Y'all better show up if you didn't vote early.

He was lying flat on his back in the road with both hands in the air, shouting that he was a therapist and the man beside him was autistic and holding a toy truck.
A policeman shot Charles Kinsey anyway. Kinsey asked him why.
The officer said: "I don't know."
North Miami, Florida, 18 July 2016. Kinsey, 47, was a behavioural therapist. One of his patients, Arnaldo Rios Soto, a 26-year-old autistic man, had wandered out of a group home and was sitting in the middle of the road playing with a silver toy truck.
Someone called 911 and reported a man with a gun threatening to kill himself.
Kinsey did everything. He lay down in the road on his back. He put both hands straight up in the air where they could be seen. He shouted his identification, his job, his patient's condition, and that the object was a toy. It is on video.
A SWAT officer fired three rounds. One hit Kinsey in the leg.
Then he was rolled over and handcuffed, bleeding in the road, and left there for a reported twenty minutes before an ambulance got to him.
He asked the officer why he had shot him. He has testified that the answer was: *I don't know.*
The officer, Jonathan Aledda, said he had been trying to protect Kinsey and believed Rios Soto was armed and a threat. He was charged — which is itself unusual — and tried twice. The first trial produced a conviction on one count of culpable negligence. A judge threw it out. A second jury acquitted him in 2019.
Nobody has been held responsible.
Kinsey survived and gave interviews, and the sentence he keeps returning to is the one everybody should take from this.
He was unarmed, flat on his back, hands up, announcing himself, in daylight, on camera.
He did everything right, and it did not matter.
Every Black parent in America who has ever recited the rules to a teenager — hands visible, say sir, do not move, announce what you are doing — has had to reckon with Charles Kinsey, because he followed all of them, perfectly, out loud, and was shot anyway.

Dear Undecided Voters,
If there's 10 people on the bus, and 3 vote to drive off the cliff, 2 vote against it, and 5 people don't vote, you're all going off the cliff.
Your reminderthat not voting is literally the dumbest choice.
GO VOTE THIS NOVEMBER.

It took ProPublica reporters $45 and a flag to start a private school in Arkansas. No teaching experience. No background check. Nobody asked what they'd teach or how they'd measure whether kids were learning.
Last month I showed you Alpha School getting rejected as a charter in Texas, then approved for the state's voucher program anyway. This is that same pipeline with even fewer guardrails.
In Arkansas, the reporters registered an LLC online and got a certificate the same day. Then they applied to get public money as a microschool. It took about 10 minutes and two documents. No accreditation, no proof of financial solvency, and no cap on how many students they could enroll. They set their tuition at $7,208, the exact voucher amount per student. When they asked the state about it, an Education Department employee didn't reject them. He suggested ways they could still get the money.
In West Virginia they filed on notebook paper. The state told them to take the "microschool route," where no one has any oversight. The department says it does not approve or deny microschools for any reason, including the qualifications of the owner. Unlimited students, by law.
The reporters never took a dime and never enrolled a kid.
But nothing stopped them from doing either. Arkansas has gone from under 100 private schools to more than 220 since its voucher program started, plus 143 microschools approved this year alone.
Anyone can open one. The state can't stop you. And your tax dollars are paying for it all.

Let's examine this. For the libs.
This "data" comes from HeCheated dot org. So... might tell you immediately there's a bias here. Especially since their "data" is presented like this...
Let's look at the professional instances, the thing every conservative says happens 1/?

Hawaii just enacted a law that effectively neuters Citizens United.
Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum.
Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live.

Also, JD, our invisible Vice President, if you want to talk about inflation, let’s talk about how it was 2.7% under Biden the night of the presidential election. You slapnuts came in and 1) put blanket tariffs, 2) got rid of ACA subsidies to make health care cost more, 3) ignored national intelligence and started a dumb war to send our energy prices soaring. Your DIRECT actions and incompetence are what made prices GO THROUGH THE ROOF!

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

Congressman Max Miller thinks this scandal will "blow over."
Miller brutally beat his wife in front of their child, including throwing a pot of boiling water on her. And his wife is the FOURTH woman to come forward about abuse Miller subjected them to.
He's also under active investigation for child abuse after he allegedly broke his two-year-old daughter's collar bone.
DO NOT LET IT BLOW OVER.
KEEP CALLING, POSTING, TALKING.

Fierce competition backfires. It's a common suggestion, but it's wrong. We have tons of research on this.
Hyper-competitivness is more likely to create fear of failure, burnout, and decrease performance in school and sport.
Let's walk through it:
South Korea's 15 year olds rank top 5 in the world in math & reading. They reached the top with a pressure-filled system aimed at mastering entrance exams. Parents of kindergartners are dropping $25,000 on private tutors to prep for future tests. The problem...
Early obsession comes with a cost. Their early academic lead fades as they enter the workforce. Research shows that their scores on cognitive ability peak earlier, and decline faster than their peers from similar countries.
As economist Ban G-Woon summarized, “Korea is caught in a trap of its own success. Education has played a crucial role in bringing the nation this far, but may now be sabotaging its economic future.”
In the American classroom, we can see why this occurs. A heavy outcome orientation predicts better grades.
But there's a downside. While an outcome orientation activates approach motivation, it also activates avoidance. It also didn't increase interest or intrinsic motivation.
A teaching environment that supported and emphasized mastery, where students focused on the process of learning and comprehension instead of a comparison to others, is also linked to better grades But it does so through a different pathway...
A mastery approach is linked to challenge-seeking, which in turn predicted end-of-the-year grades. In other research, mastery goals predicts higher levels of interest and enjoyment. It stokes the underlying ingredients. To approach instead of avoid.
It's the same in sport. We like the fierce competition style of coaching...yet, research shows it backfires. A study of NBA players and coaches found the hard ass coach led to worse performance...for the rest of that players career. We've seen the same in track, football, etc.
Motivation, excellence, achievement, and so on are complicated. But... an obsession over achievement pushes most of us towards the wrong kind of motivation, moving us from want to to have to... and our performance and well-being suffers
We all have extrinsic and intrinsic motives. But if that balance shifts too much in the external direction, we're screwed. A meta-analysis of 70,000 found that when extrinsic aspirations dominated their intrinsic ones, it was “universally detrimental” to their well-being.
And the bottom line is when we look at the best of the best... research tells us that stoking the underlying ingredients is what matters. Intrinsic motivation in youth math & science prodigies is what's linked to them making it as adults. Same with an analysis of Olympians.
The obsession with achievement and hypercompetiveness tends to backfire for most.
This sort of mindset is akin to those that scream "giving everyone trophies is killing youth sports!"
When...giving trophies doesn't matter at all. Norway has a trophy for all policy and per capita cleans up at the world level. What does matter?
Hypercompetiveness leads to burnout and losing talent at the youth sport level. Parent and coach excessive pressure is one of the leading causes of fear of failure in young athletes. Create an environment where people can thrive. Not just survive.
I could go on and on.
There is SO much data and research on this. How do I know? It's what my new book is about: Win the Inside Game It's about our achievement culture often causes choking. It offers a way to strive without getting in our own way: thegrowtheq.com/win-the-insi…

A man with no working truck convinced Wall Street he had built the next Tesla. His company hit $30 BILLION. All he did was push it down a hill with no engine.
> Trevor Milton founded Nikola in 2014, named after the same inventor as Tesla.
> The goal was to build hydrogen powered trucks that would make diesel obsolete. He had no trucks.
> In 2018 he released a promotional video called Nikola One In Motion. It showed a sleek semi truck accelerating smoothly down an open highway.
Investors went wild.
> What nobody knew was that the truck had no engine, no fuel cell, and no propulsion system of any kind.
> Milton's team towed it to the top of a hill, tilted the camera to hide the slope, and let it roll.
> He spent the next four years doing the same thing with words. On podcasts, television and social media.
> Investors were told Nikola could produce its own hydrogen. It could not. They were told the trucks were ready for production. They were not. They were told orders were flooding in. They weren't.
> In June 2020 Nikola went public. Within days the company was worth $30 BILLION, more than Ford.
> Milton's personal stake hit $7.3 BILLION overnight.
> A $32.5 MILLION ranch in Utah followed. A record for the state at the time.
> In September 2020 Hindenburg Research published a report calling Nikola "an intricate fraud" built on "an ocean of lies." Milton resigned within ten days.
> A federal jury convicted him of securities fraud and wire fraud in 2022. Sentenced to four years in prison the following year.
> He never went. He was free on $100 MILLION bail pending appeal.
> He and his wife donated $3.2 MILLION to Donald Trump's 2024 campaign.
> In March 2025 Trump gave him a full pardon. The pardon erased $168 MILLION in restitution to defrauded shareholders.
> Nikola filed for bankruptcy the following month, leaving thousands of investors with nothing.
The company never had a product. The only thing that was real was the $30 BILLION valuation, the $7 BILLION that landed in his pocket and the pardon that made sure none of it had to be returned.

Sigh 🤦♂️. More hilariously disingenuous propaganda pointed at bamboozling gullible MAGAs who don’t understand labor data, lol.
The rest of us see straight through this weak bullsh*t.
Initial jobless claims hitting 189,000 means fewer people filed new unemployment claims that week. That’s it. It does NOT mean “Americans are working again.” It does NOT mean hiring is strong. It does NOT mean wages are rising faster than prices. It does NOT mean people who lost jobs are finding new ones.
It means layoffs were low for one week. That’s it, lol.
Now zoom out to the actual economy Trump and his circus are trying to hide.
Unemployment is STILL around 4.3%. That’s roughly 7 MILLION Americans out of work. Hiring has slowed materially. Job openings have fallen off a cliff. The average time it takes to find a job has increased. More people are stuck in part-time work who want full-time hours.
That’s NOT strength, it’s a labor market on a steep angle if descent.
The Fed has already described this environment for what it is: a “low-fire, low-hire economy”. Companies aren’t laying people off aggressively yet, but they’re also not hiring. Workers aren’t quitting because they don’t see better opportunities. Mobility is down. Wage growth is cooling.
That’s stagnation, not a comeback.
The broader economy? Even worse.
Growth has been catastrophically uneven and weak since Trump took office again. You had a near-stall at the end of last year, followed by a modest rebound that was driven disproportionately by government spending and AI-related investment, NOT broad-based economic strength (Trump’s circus disingenuously hyped that as well, lol). Consumer spending has slowed. Housing remains soft. Imports and trade instability are dragging on growth.
Meanwhile, inflation is still a problem. Core prices remain elevated. Energy volatility and tariffs are pushing costs through the entire system. That hits everything from groceries to manufacturing inputs to shipping. America’s working & middle-class families are still paying WAY more for the SAME life under Trump’s incompetence & fiscal idiocy. .
So what are businesses doing?
They’re freezing hiring. They’re delaying expansion. They’re holding onto existing workers because replacing them later could be harder and more expensive.
THAT suppresses jobless claims.
It does NOT mean the economy is healthy, it means companies are bracing.
That’s the part this post conveniently ignores.
These morons took a single weekly data point, stripped out every bit of context, and turned it into a “win”, lol. “Lowest since the 1960s” sounds impressive until you realize the workforce is dramatically larger, older, and structurally different than it was back then. Just an intentionally disingenuous & contrived narrative, not an apples-to-apples comparison.
So no, Americans aren’t “working again.”
They’re stuck in a cooling job market, dealing with higher costs, fewer opportunities, and an economy that’s about to catastrophically implode while you clowns in this administration try to spin one narrow statistic into a victory lap.
You should be ashamed of yourselves.
