Republicans just can't catch a break …
AP: US wholesale inflation cooled in July in sign that price pressures are continuing to ease
That opens the Federal Reserve to drop interest rates a couple of times before the election.
The Fed interest target most directly affects mortgage rates, and indirectly other things like the stock and bond markets.
The Fed should already have cut rates, but Powell is a pearl-clutching coward. Labor market will be down next Spring because of his waiting too long.
How to win friends and influence people:
“I don’t want her endorsement. I don’t want his endorsement. I just want them to do their job for Georgia,” Trump said. “In my opinion, they want us to lose.”
Anyone know when Peters is scheduled to be sentenced? Hope it is before the general election.
According to the court file case schedule, sentencing is set for October 3rd at 9:30. Set for 2.5 hours (a half day essentially). It would be interesting to see what the presentence report says, though that'll be confidential.
Is this going to be a big deal?

Sadly not at the Watergate.

I didn’t tune in to the X
interviewsemi-circle jerk last night but I see Bobo is raging about how great it was and that anyone who watched it would understand there is only one person who can save America – the diapered great Orange one! Soooo….I can assume it was as off the rails as one could imagine?I couldn't stand to listen, but here's one report
Plus his posting on X is causing his stock, DJT, to plummet to $ 24 per share today. Not to mention the 16 million quarterly loss announced. Still can't understand why true believers in red hats buy this. They are about to be fleeced by the orange turd in September when he can sell his shares and crater the company, which will just make them more angry and unhinged. That doesn't, however, mean they'll fess up to being gullible and stupid. They'll probably blame Biden.
I cannot figure out why DJT Media stock is at $24 and not 50¢.
Fat Donnie's return to Xitter is the death blow to Truthy.
Because when Trump sells in September there will be a line of foreign actors and others wanting to gain influence with a potential president ready to buy his stocks. It’s a very efficient grift, if you think about it.
Others holding will have a chance to cash out at that time if they can time it correctly.
In Comedy, Truth — I'm gobsmacked by the second panel:
The sixth panel stands out for me. The guy in the grey suit could easily be one of our pearl- clutching, no-labels, mugwumps.
All those namby-pamby "centrists" who have trolled these pages for, like, ever, can go vote for Adam Frisch…if it makes you feel better. I have not been asked to consider his candidacy as a Democrat. He never mentions his party affiliation. If he is saying something the R voters like, then let him say it as a Democrat. Thus far, his campaign spots could be Hurd commercials.
He is not asking me for my vote. I will undervote this race.
I get that you don't want to support Frisch with money or time. But when it comes to the 3 seconds of voting, don't you see him as 3 seconds better than Nothing or Hurd? Or at least that it is worth 3 seconds to potentially support the report that Democrats are able to win seats that had been Republican?
But what is the meaning of NOT voting for him? What good will come from withholding your part of the 200,000 votes in the district?
Honestly, John, I don’t think you DO get it. For nearly 50 years I have observed the politics of Mesa County, CD3, and western Colorado, generally.
Over 5 decades, I.have watched an endless parade of Democrats run for office around here, afraid to call themselves Democrats. I haven’t heard Frisch mention reproductive rights or any issue otherthan the same ones on which Republicans campaign. One of the reasons Democrats never win here is the perennial habit Dems have of avoiding that toxic label. And it will always be toxic until they stop doing so.
The cow ranchers, coal miners, OilyBoyz and gunheads have defined the western slope for far too long. Now is the time to let the people here hear good ideas from Democrats.
Frisch isn’t going to win, anyway. Without Klanny Oakley to run against, he is just another pretend Republican. Folks around here will vote for the actual Republican…unless he gives Dems and Unaffiliated voters a reason to turn out in droves.He isn’t doing that. He isn’t even talking to us.
Well said. I've only got 30 years in Mesa County, but have the same feelings you expressed in your comment.
Problem here is that Duke has been preaching “vote blue, no matter who” for years. Now he’s apparently waffling on that. Even if Frisch doesn’t fit the “progressive narrative,” he is still a person to help the Dems regain control of the US House, if he wins.
I’m continuing to write occasional checks to Frisch’s campaign as I want the MAGA “Freedom Caucus” out of power & relegated to the congressional wastelands.
Well…I suspected you couldn't refrain from grasping at some opportunity to throw shade in my direction…sooo…
Yes, CHB, I have been preaching, " Vote Blue, No Matter Who". I continue to do so. Perhaps when I see or hear Mr.Frisch identify as a Democrat, I might change my mind.
Shouldn't you and the rest of the "Reasonable Republican Cavalry" be busy saving your precious GOP instead of throwing spitballs at me?
Just pointing out the obvious, Duke. Also, Trump's mouth is doing everything possible to "save the GOP" by making it almost impossible for Trump/MAGA/Project 2025 to win in November. I don't need to lift a finger. Then we'll see……
"Just pointing out the obvious". That appears to be your most well-developed skill.
I’m in Denver, so obvously I don’t have the experience of Duke Cox or Pedalman56 do.
But watching the transition of the state as a whole and the congressional district just to the east, the most strident Democrats, the ones focused on progressive issues, are not the first to win. In 2016, Morgan Carroll was not able to break through against Mike Coffman. in 2018, Jason Crow was. My impression is that Morgan Carroll put a great deal more energy into trying to appeal to the base of Democratic voters, The Colorado Sun put it this way
In a Colorado with “Unaffiliated” as the most common description of voters, I think it likely the “most Democratic” candidate will not be the herald of the change. Maybe there is a politician who could focus on a strong progressive message, appealing to Democrats and the progressives who are among the Unaffiliated in the current lines of CO-03 — got someone in mind?
J i D never misses a chance to blast progressive Dems- in this case, as "strident".
Nevertheless….Carroll was not notably more progressve than Jason Crow., and certainly not "strident" in the sense JiD is talking about. She never, for example, advocated for ablishing ICE. That would've been a non-starter in the district that houses GEO services – the largest ICE detention facility in the state
There were other factors in the Coffman vs Carroll race:
Coffman outspent Carroll on negative ads, and basically lied his ass off claiming that she was pro crime, importing mmgrant criminals to run amok in the district. The Koch Brothers backed Coffman, of course.
. He also had better name rec in the area after serving as incumbent for years. Coffman has also always had great staff providing great constituecnt services, particularly around veteran's issues.
And he was able to take credit for a gorgeous new VA hospital, even though he was an obstacle in its building.
As I recall, our local Dems were slow to back Carroll, so if she was indeed appealing to the base, the base didn't come through for her. On the issues, though, there was and is no daylight between Crow and Carroll.
