If I had Bob Nicoll's money, I could burn mine.

The market for the pre-debate handshake closed at 30% (buy a contract for $0.30 that pays $1 if handshake, and $0 if no handshake). You heard it hear first. Harris bought a bunch of handshake futures under aliases and then made it happen. Market manipulation in its rawest form. This can not be allowed to happen.

From Polymarkets (a prediction market):

Donald Trump spends half his time claiming he knows more about _________ than anyone. He spends the other half claiming he didn't know.

Infinitely fewer attempts to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power.

Can you explain why you ask dumb non-sequitur questions?

Victor Davis Hanson might want to fact check his fact checking of the moderator's fact checking. The one example he gave of the moderator being wrong, was wrong. And what anyone remembers of the second 2012 debate is precisely nothing.

Kevin Malone's favorite amount of battery

There are many cases of many bad things. So what. It is illegal to kill a baby in all 50 states. You can (need to) perform all manner of mental gymnastics to defend Trump statements, but display impressive middle aged rigidity when it comes to Harris statements.

That is not what the Linsey Davis corrected him on. Trump claimed Harris supports killing a baby after it is born. Infanticide is illegal in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The quote was, "There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it is born."

We have a market. Seems like there is a trade to be done here.

You missed a prime opportunity to bash the White Sox.

Debates are performances. Biden gave the worst performance in the history of debates, and he had to drop out of the election as a result. The first time round Trump rode to the presidency on the back of his debate performances. His greatest skill was to put everyone around him on tilt by becoming the personification and embodiment of an internet troll. It proved a highly effective strategy. And it was all performance. This time the expectation of many was that Harris was not up to the task and her performance would prove it ("Why is Harris afraid to debate?" "Isn't her nervous laugh weird" "Why does she need to prepare so much? It will hurt her.") But the reality is that she significantly outperformed Trump last night. As the old saw goes, Trump's failure to prepare was preparing to fail. His over confidence combined with his inability to avoid every trap set for him (all of which were predictable - let's talk about crowd size) led to a pretty unhinged performance last night (I heard it on TV). Harris was very successful putting Trump on tilt and appearing to be the only adult on stage. Even her "isn't he cute" condescending smirk pose was effective. Trump was so on tilt that he failed to put Harris on the spot for not answering any difficult questions. Never mind that never in the history of debates has any candidate, ever answered a difficult question, Trump's one job was to press her on Biden's policies and he failed miserably to do so. At the very end he made a weak attempt to bring it back to that, but by then the damage was done. Now, what does it mean? It is hard for me, or anyone that posts on this forum, to say because we are so entrenched in our positions. I cannot project to the mind of the undecided voter, who is almost certain to decide this election. But if I am a Trump advisor this morning all I am thinking about is damage control. Nowhere near as bad, but kind of like Biden advisors were after the last debate.

What was the crowd size for the debate?

I am mostly upset with Harris for failing to address the real issues. The cats and dogs of Springfield are facing an existential crisis and as Vice President she has done nothing about it.

I could use a little more ruining

That matches my desktop experience. However, the mobile experience (Android/Chrome) is much worse. There are typically two pop up ads at a time covering content. See screenshot below. The ads cover a much larger % of the screen, and always over the content, on mobile.

I read it as Starocci is going 184 also.

probably, but it affected only one of them.

Depends on what their policy says about how to act in this situation. The cops got on the muscle fast. One of them was placed on administrative duties amid the investigation, suggesting those in charge at least have some questions.

Four former Michigan football players are suing the NCAA and the Big Ten Network for $50 million. They all played prior to 2016. The House suit starts with 2016 due to statute of limitations issues. The four players contend that because the NCAA and Big Ten Network still put clips on YouTube and social media and show classic games, it precludes them from relying on the statute of limitations. This lawsuit is similar to those filed by the 1983 NC State men's basketball team and the 2008 Kansas men's basketball team. Between the House settlement being rejected in its current form by the judge and suits like this, the NCAA will be lobbying even harder for antitrust exemption. Without it, the potential for litigation is almost endless.

everyone was being a dick in that video

The key part of that sentence is D3. And what does a cush job matter? If they could have one at ASU or SDSU, they can have one at Iowa, its a push.

Cheney has been known to take shots at Republicans.
