More bad news for the Biden Crime Family and its supporters: The previous post-WW II record was 16.7% in the first quarter of 1950. So much for the "crash" Lefties were babbling about earlier this week...

Trending on Google right now: 'Can I change my vote?' https://www.foxnews.com/politics/can-i-change-my-vote-trends-google-what-you-need-to-know ^Why I don't vote early.
You know unemployment is still at 8% right ? It peaked at 10% in 2010 when we had the great recession. I KNOW Covid isnt Trumps fault, but lets at least be honest about where we actually are Things have gotten a little better in the number of jobless CLAIMS (growth), but we also just set a record for CV cases, which means that closures will start again. Im optimistic, but lets make sure we use all the data before we pop the cork on the champaign
Some serious voter's remorse going on there. Clawing back votes: 8 states allow voters to resubmit ballots https://www.foxnews.com/politics/states-voters-resubmit-absentee-ballots Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota are on the list.
I think early voting should be frowned upon for this very reason. I guess it's a person's right to screw up their own vote, but it definitely could have a negative effect on the rest of US.
Based on my own observations of the businesses in our area, I think these numbers would have been lower if a lot of businesses didn't blow off their lockdown orders.
Agreed. I was talking to my wife about this last night and I opined that the only people who should be voting long before Election Day are partisans who are going to vote for their candidate regardless of what happens before Nov. 3rd. Obviously, this was/is a bad move for a lot of swing voters, especially if they voted in-person. There's no clawing those votes back.
People have had more than three and a half years to make their minds up about Trump. Early voting here in Texas began mid October. If trump couldn’t win people over prior to a month before election what makes you think he could do it now? Early voting is good because it allows people to spread out their visits to the polls, reducing wait times on Election Day, and actually get there at a time that works for their schedules.
Can money buy happiness? Let’s see; Cost of government-induced recession and turn-key recovery; Covid19 FY2020 Deficit; $2 trillion over 6 months Covid19 FY2021 Deficit; $2.2 trillion Federal Reserve rescue/recovery package; $2.1 trillion over 6 months Grand total; Minimum $6.3 trillion Thus, can money buy happiness?
I think so, too - for Trump, at least. I'm still trying to gauge how many Bernie Bros are going to give Quid Pro Quo Joe and the DNC the middle finger...
What you're conveniently overlooking is the fact that Trump has an opponent in this race and people haven't had three years to make up their mind about him and his ideas. Furthermore, judging from all the people who are thinking of retracting their early votes, it appears that the recent revelations surrounding the Biden Crime Family's influence-peddling racket and the efforts on the part of the Leftist media to keep them in the dark about it have changed their thinking. As for early voting, I did so in-person myself, but I'm not a swing voter and I knew Joe Biden was corrupt long before his son's e-mails hit the fan and one of his business partners stepped forward to corroborate their content.
Still way to go to get back to pre-covid levels. But, as usual, Trump and fans don't accept any blame for the drop in Q1 and 2, but they claim credit for the gain in Q3. Same old, same old. Must be easy to live in a bubble where there is only good news, and all bad news are fake.
Biden has been a known quantity for several decades now. There are very few voters that didn’t have an opinion of him prior to this election. Just seems like disappoint that there are votes that won’t have a chance to be suppressed by an October surprise.
The market is tanking because we are facing another shutdown and have no Covid relief package in place
