Just happened at Madison Square Garden:
Played a small portion of Dixie for the music. These were the lyrics played: I wish I was in the land of cotton, Old times there are not forgotten; Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land!
Then they invite Byron Donalds to the stage
As anyone who has attended a night session of the US Open can attest to.TechnoDaddie

They picked MSG because people from 2-3 hrs away from NYC can take LIRR, NJT & Amtrak straight to Penn Station & enter MSG without exiting the bldg. NYC is not attending this trash circus. It’s Hudson Valley, Eastern LI, and South Jersey. That’s why it’s in the middle of a Sunday
The Washington Post is perceived as a left-leaning publication. I don't think it would make any difference to its perception for any single person but Donald Trump if WaPo published a Harris endorsement. This is a message from Bezos to Trump and no one else.ponchi101 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 25, 2024 11:55 pm We can't run a parallel experiment in two parallel worlds, one in which the WP endorses Harris, and one in which they endorse Trump.
And see how many cancellations each scenario generates.
Plus, I am sure the WP gets hundreds of cancellations a day. And hundreds of subscriptions.
The numbers are meaningless without statistical context.
I think the protestations aren't because of who was or was not endorsed but because the owner of the publication stopped the journalists from publishing the intended endorsement, which is a clear ethical infringement on free speech.dryrunguy wrote: ↑Sun Oct 27, 2024 12:36 am
Finally, the talk about trying to cancel subscriptions simply because an outlet didn't endorse who you wanted them to endorse wreaks of ideological fragility. Have we really become that insecure and jaded? Do we read a newspaper's content because we trust their journalistic integrity? Or are we reading that newspaper's content because we expect them to tell us what we want to hear? And if that's the case, how are we any better or different from people who only watch FOX News or Newsmax? It's the same pathology--whether we want to admit it or not.
not true.. Biden himself has said Obama arm-twisted him not to run in 2016. I like Bill Clinton a lot, in fact. Not that I dislike Hilary, just that she has no political instincts at all, unlike Bill, who was a genius. The first time I saw Hilary speak, I said she has no chance at all of winning. Any half-way decent Democrat would have beaten Trump in 2016.ponchi101 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 27, 2024 5:18 pm That very weak candidate won the popular vote by a few millions votes.
And Biden did not run for the nomination in 2016 because he did not want to. He made it clear he was not seeking the presidency during that election.
You have made it clear that you do not like either of the Clintons, and that is fine. But you analysis above may be skewed due to that dislike.
