Tonight is the night. Hope to God something really good happens.

Heart attack?

Heart attack?

Or a stroke. It is important it be natural causes.

Anyone know what the deal is on the muting issue?  Did Harris want or not want muting?  And what did they end up with?

I think she's going to stomp him.  Trump has been on an extra deranged bender recently, so deranged that his fanbois are not making youtube clips defending his derangement that show up on my feed.  So to not sound deranged he'll have to stick to his script.  No way he can do that if Harris drops the right triggers.

I know he has been experimenting with a few - but I still think the fact that he hasn't settled on a nickname is indicative of still not having worked out how to handle Harris.

[The Minsky Moment]

I am not sure what your point is.  You used the word "controlling".  That is normally associated with shareholding.

FWIW the concept of a "control person" is pretty broad under US law. Elon would probably qualify pretty easily in all those companies.

I hope he doesn't figure out until after he loses the election.

Yeah I don't know. I guess we will find out soon.

I sure the fuck hopes she stomps him and he becomes an incoherent drooling mess.

Am I the only one getting quite a bit of anxiety right now?  The very fact that what happens tonight might matter is already infuriating.  I still can't come to grips with the reality that we're a coin flip away from an entirely predictable disaster.

I have been a nervous wreck every time I even think about this election. At least now I kind of have some hope things might work out.

But damn. Having an existential crisis every four years is no way to run a Republic. This is how the 1850s must have felt.

[Admiral Yi]

The combover is the best looking I've ever seen.  He's not spazzing nearly as much as I had hoped.  More like a tossup so far than a stomping.

Relax and think of Rome, 408, all quiet and fun place, all enemies placated, a competent general in charge of defense.

[Admiral Yi]

"Donald Trump was fired by 81 million voters." That line is money!

Moderators are doing a magnificent job.

[DGuller]

I hope Trump appealing to Orban's wisdom is sounding as damning as it should be to everyone.

[Valmy]

Viktor Orban likes him. Well there is an endorsement.
