The Next Election, Political News, and Other Forms of Comedy (US, UK, & Intl)

I note that a good many political commentator/pundits are claiming that the story of RFK Jr. and the dead bear cub has killed Jr.'s presidential prospects...which were pretty remote to begin with, to say the least. Frankly, it raised him considerably in my estimation. I mean, what do you do with a road-killed bear cub. Had I seen a dead bear cub in the road, I should have said to myself, "Aaaw, the poor little guy," and driven on, feeling twinges of melancholy as the pathetic little black shape diminished in my rear-view mirror. Kennedy, on the other hand, saw it as an opportunity for a clever prank, that caused consternation in the great city of New York. At least he has imagination and a sense of humor. I just read an article in the New Yorker about RFK Jr.. It was certainly unflattering. Nonetheless, I will always have a soft spot for anyone who practices the noble art of falconry.

Decide you’re going to take it home and eat it. Then, keep it in your car for 6 hours while you go get drunk with your friends. Then, once it begins to smell, take it out of your trunk and then dump it in the park like an absolute psycho?
 
Photos of JD Vance in drag have just leaked. Not sure if anyone cares about such things anymore- even the MAGAs. The only thing remarkable is that he wasn’t wearing anymore eyeliner than he regularly does.
 
I watched all the big speeches at the DNC this year (one of my kids did a homework project on it). The outstanding performance was Walz - he really stole the show. He could seriously win independent votes for them - except no one but fanatics watched this shit and no one really cares about VPs.

Harris put in a solid performance, nothing special or new. Actually a rather anticlimactic end to the show. Biden was in good form, if he could deliver like that 24/7 then he’d still be the candidate. His daughter did a decent job as well. The Obamas were charm with our substance again.

I missed Kinzinger, though heard that was good.
 
According to Fox polling of registered voters in battleground states, Trump is carrying:

65% of Whites without a college degree

60% of rural voters

42% of Hispanics

+11% over Harris re: men


77% among White evangelical Christians (-6% )

19% among Black voters (+12%)

Harris (all above Biden’s popularity):

79% among Black voters

56% among Hispanics

55% among under 30

51% among voters 65+

+11% among women

Neck and neck at the state level with the results within the parameters of random change.

But the most hilarious part was when they came up with this headline:

Far-right wins Austria election, boosting European right-wing surge

Herbert Kickl’s Freedom Party won 28.8 per cent of the vote, but if he cannot persuade another party to ally with him, it could end the FPO’s hopes of forming a government
www.theglobeandmail.com www.theglobeandmail.com

“'Kickl has often said that (Hungarian Prime Minister) Viktor Orban is a role model for him and he will stand by him.'

Kickl, who this year forged an alliance with Orban, opposes providing aid to Ukraine and wants sanctions against Russia withdrawn, arguing they hurt Austria more than Moscow."

Wohlstand!
