That's all it takes for Biden and Don to join forces in a epic anime team up at this point

Just wait until the Movie special finalie, only in theaters November 4th!
A Biden endorsement of Trump is all I need for this perfect election cycle to be complete.
I suspect that Buzz Aldrin, ever the space advocate, wouldn't have endorsed Trump if it weren't for the Dems and Left broadly marking Elon and therefore SpaceX for destruction after he bought Twitter in 2022. They turned themselves into opponents of space exploration since the previous election.
Buzz Aldrin endorsed Trump? When did that happen!?
 
GEHENNA’S EARLY LIFE SECTION HAS BEEN REVEALED!!!!!!!:o
I have mentioned before being ethnically Jewish on the last megathread. Usually in conjunction with pointing out how the Jews who do control things are both an extreme minority -and- utterly evil.

Most Jews, Both merely ethnic and Religiously devout, absolutely hate them.

His name is literally the hebrew word for hell (more or less)
Purgatory is a closer analogy but yes.
 
Whats depressing is hearing about his dementia moments that are not trying to hide anymore. They just don't get any media traction because... well, Joe is now irrelevant. Hell I haven't even bothered to relay them despite having actual proof of several.

One heartbreaking one that convinced me that the two do love eachother is Joe wandering off in a daze, clearly gone and having no idea where he is, his SS detail sends word to Jill who comes over. Not mad or angry, just concerned. When she calls for Joe he turns to her and just -beams-, saying and I quote "There is the most beautiful woman in the world".

The man is gone, into happier times, and its a fucking tragedy. And any news coming out of him being gone like the baby thing just has lost its luster for me. Its too damn depressing.
Oh Jesus christ. This hurt me to read. I don't like Biden but I would never wish dementia on anyone, let alone in public.

Well I'm not familiar with the poster, but what they're saying about the market being somewhat controlled by pro-Trump people is highly plausible and quite grounded in reality.
I accept everything you say about crypto being a mostly pro-trump, but even so, if there is any edge on any bet (in this case what looks like a race within margin of polling error, yet still paying out $1 for $.34), those advantageous positions get sniffed out and the advantage should converge to reflect a (seemingly) closer race quickly. A "bias" shouldn't account for such a wide disparity. In some ways it seems betting would be naturally resistant to bias because it's actually people's money on the line.

All this is to say, I feel like there is wide - and genuine - sentiment that Trump has this thing in the bag yet all I see is very close polling. And vibes.
 
There are 160 members of the Massachusetts House of Representatives and 25 of them are Republican. The California State Assembly has a higher percentage of Republicans.

Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Better yet, do not enter here. My ballot only had two Republican options on it, for President and Senator. The rest was a Democrat as the only option or some independent people. So much for the freedom to choose! Honk honk!
 
Anyone rating disagree/dumb on this is retarded:
Then look at the markets that are US-legal and don't use crypto. Kalshi is at 60% for Trump. Interactive Brokers is identical. PredictIt is at 58% for Trump. That's lower than Polymarket but still a solid Trump margin. If Polymarket is really that manipulated then this is a great arbitrage opportunity that somehow is being missed.
 
I don't think the claim that it's controlled is the same as saying that there's a pro-Trump bias in betters skewing the results.

The claim was "largely controlled" and my argument is that it is a pretty correct claim. There is an extremely strong financial incentive for Trump to win for cryptocurrency users/holders because he claims he is going to do shit at the SEC which would remove the regulatory bullshit that has been happening in the US for quite some time.

Look through these headlines in just the past week. Then go read the news headlines about the same thing over the past 4 years: https://news.google.com/search?q=SEC cryptocurrency&hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US:en

"SEC Chair Gary Gensler, facing bipartisan pressure and Trump’s vow to remove him, defended the agency’s regulation by enforcement."

If you hold cryptocurrency, whether you are in the US or not then you have an extremely strong financial incentive to "largely control" the prediction market for the US presidential election outcome.

Anyone who isn't familiar with what has been happening with the SEC and the US cryptocurrency industry (as well as its impact on the international cryptocurrency industry) for the past 4 years and hasn't read into this stuff already and been paying attention simply does not really fully comprehend what they are talking about in a situation like this nor what the implications are of Trump winning on the future of cryptocurrency markets.

There is a huge financial incentive for Trump to win from cryptocurrency users/holders. Prediction markets use cryptocurrency. Therefore it is totally reasonable to expect that prediction markets are "largely controlled" by pro-Trump people.

Yeah but this isn't planning your mortgage for your first home purchase or planning investments for your retirement fund, this is a highly volatile prediction market that itself uses highly volatile cryptocurrency users (they use stablecoins on the market so the value doesn't technically fluctuate but the type of users driven to gamble on election outcomes on a prediction market that is illegal to use in the US and uses cryptocurrency are not going to be rationale actors)

And yeah I somewhat agree that it seems that Trump is more likely to win, but the larger question for me is if the losing side is going to accept the outcome and I am fairly certain that they are not and there will probably be unprecedented events that follow before the handover happens.
 
It's going to be released today? For reason I thought it was going to be released on Friday.
I don't know if Vance's JRE appearance is going to be released today, but if it comes out at the same time of day as Trump's did, it would be at that time (in ~50 minutes from now).
I didn't think Trump's would be same day as recording, but it was, so I'm not sure.
 
he committed to taking away the libshits favourite political weapon.
Despite Elon cucking himself for the jews, he did infact make twitter for a moment usable again. Even if it went back to being shit (RIP Null's Xitter), that short time period did fuck with the lefty momentum a lot, because never in the history of digital space, have they lost gound on such a scale. They have zero experience how to tacle that, meanwhile the right has been living in it since forever.

Many do not choose the Masshole life; they are born in it, molded by it.
