    The Drudge Report is reporting that Trump lost the debate big time.  I am continuously amazed how much Drudge hates Trump.  So much so that he slants everything about Trump and Vance as total failures.

    “Drudge” hasn’t been in charge of the editorial content of that site for a long time.

    Something changed after he moved from the condo out to the estate on the edge of the Everglades.

    It is like the plot to a Hiaasen novel except, as Hiaasen himself has pointed out repeatedly, he could never sell books as strange as real life Florida politics.

    An odd-numbered Hiaasen, one without former Governor “Skink”.

    The left thinks Kamala won, because Trump let himself be provokes. The right thinks Trump won, because Kamala told lies (that were never fact-checked). Presumably, that means that the debate changed no one’s opinion.

    Will there be another debate?

    No. Minds aren’t changing after last night, and the Dems would risk losing the down ticket vote, particularly for the Senate.

    The Wine Moms who will decide this thing haven’t figured out that they aren’t getting the SALT deduction back.

    We worked hard for this. Kamala and Tim understand.

    Here in Texas, I noticed last night that Collin Zachary’s commercials have shifted to using more pictures and talk about his single teacher mother.

    And Allred going to Baylor.

    I haven’t seen one Rafael Edward commercial except for the PAC-sponsored ad playing Allred’s quotes about the “racist” wall from some point in the last eight years.

    The Wine Moms who get their houses cleaned weekly by an “undocumented” immigrant already have their minds made up on that issue.

    Buffett is selling big chunks of stock.

    He likes cash better than companies at the moment.

    That means that he does not trust any big company to survive the coming USA federal financial apocalypse.

    Buffett may also want another run at Oncor before he passes on, and the Pilot/Flying-J stores are going to require a lot of capital spending to clean up if, as I suspect, the Gecko wants a piece of Buc-ee’s action but on a nationwide scale.

    It wasn’t a debate. A debate requires intelligent questions followed by intelligent answers. It was a pissing contest between two jerks, egged on by the ABC moderators.

    Buffett isn’t even buying much BRK-A/B. The stock price is way above what I suspect is his vaunted “intrinsic” number.

    Buffett, Buffett, Buffet … why are we talking about this mediocrity when we should be asking what Nancy Pelosi, the investment  “Sage of San Francisco” is doing?

    How about Hillarity the brilliant commodities trader?

    Seeing the name Buffett makes me think of the song Margaritaville.

    Jimmy Buffet was not a relative but held the Gecko’s stock.

    As the Onion Peels: Guess Who Introduced Kamala to Her Husband?

    In the least-surprising post-debate reveal ever, it’s come to light that Kamala Harris, darling of ABC News and its moderators, was introduced to her husband by none other than the guy who — you guessed it — oversees ABC News. 

    The executive, Dana Walden, first met Kamala Harris in 1994. Their husbands, Matt Walden and Doug Emhoff, have known each other since the 1980s. The Waldens — “extraordinary friends,” per the vice president — have donated money to Ms. Harris’s political campaigns since at least 2003, when she ran for district attorney in San Francisco.

    Now we need to know how Willie Brown is connected in.

    I suspect this is another “Willie Network”, like the one that eased Monica Lewinsky out of the White House. 

    Why is it that  willie-obsessed Willie’s seem to have intermediaries to no-fuss-move-along the bimbos? Maybe if Kamala had the blue dress the history of the 1990’s would have been different?

    Peoples Temple. As in the Jim Jones Kool Aid party.

    The organization had considerable power and influence in California in the 70s, right up until the end.

    Stay thirsty my friends.

    Dana Walden is widely believed to have the support among the institutional shareholders to become Disney CEO once Iger finally steps down.

    For real this time.

    Disney is still a raging dumpster fire.

    I just saw a new DealDash commercial that explains the game. “I got a new iPad for $11” is only part of the story. Bidders have to buy “bid credits” before bidding, and each bid increments $0.01 and starts a 10-second countdown. If I caught the numbers correctly, the winning bidder used 31 bid credits and total outlay was $17. 

    So it appears bid credits cost ($17-11)/31 or $0.20 each. 

    $11 is 1100 bids, so a total of $220 was spent on bid credits. mostly by losing bidders. 

    Looks like a cross between an auction, a lottery, and a game of musical chairs.

    “Next to zero time spent on inflation. A half a percent more on immigration. The two most important issues to voters and that’s all voters got.”

    “Notice that ABC was very careful not to ask any questions about economic policy, tax policy, inflation fighting policy, because they knew it would bring out the weakness of Kamala Harris.”
     

    “Kick the statistically denied but street evident Harris Recession over the cliff. Withhold your discretionary spending for Trump’s economy. Did the same after first time he was elected, saved spending for February 2017.”

    https://hotair.com/tree-hugging-sister/2024/09/11/so-about-the-inflation-question-abc-moderators-were-too-busy-beating-on-trump-to-ask-harris-n3794377

    The Dems thought she won and the conservative pundits spent the day moaning and wailing, but the only group that mattered, the undecided voters, noticed the absent topics and the biased “moderators”, and seem to be turning away from Harris.

    When ABC cries about not getting a seat in the White House press pool, the reply is a tape of their political contribution to the Harris campaign last night.

    How do you make frenz with a rhino?

    Carefully.

    >> Will there be another debate?

    Only if she agrees to have it hosted by Fox.
