    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I, too, have the shame of being married to a non-transgender woman. My wife, being the good person that she is, has resolved to fix this. She plans to transition to a man, then transition back to a woman again. She will then be a non-non-non-transgender woman, and I will once again be able to...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I've seen two interesting comments about these numbers on social media so far: (1) Vote tallies are not complete. There are still >10 million uncounted votes. Once they are counted, the 2024 numbers will look more like the 2020 numbers. (This at least sounds plausible, although so many...

    The college scam is coming to a head far faster than most people realize. Thanks to ChatGPT and other AI software, cheating in liberal arts courses is approaching 100%. Universities are in a complete panic. You think a liberal arts degree is worthless now? Just wait a few years when the...

    No one "has" responsibility. They EARN responsibility. And blaming others for their lot in life due to the poor choices they made is a prime reason why they are unable to earn it.

    I'll be completely honest - I was skeptical of the chart when I first saw it, thinking it was perhaps another social media meme with bogus numbers. So I went and looked at the voter totals. All I can say is ... crap. Somewhere, somehow, at the height of a pandemic, 16 million extra voters...

    And in fact, voters in several states did pass laws to loosen abortion restrictions. Again, a matter of individual state law. That's how this country was meant to run.

    The Senate has gone to the Republicans. News flash: the filibuster has once again become sacrosanct to the Democrats.

    To me, the most interesting aspect is that the Democratic surge from the end of Roe v. Wade clearly ran out of steam. The economy and immigration were what drove the results.

    I must say that it's surprising to see how Trump is not only winning the Electoral College, but the popular vote as well. That says something about how thoroughly the Democrats screwed the pooch. This is turning into a pretty decisive victory. Gonna need a lot of popcorn watching how people...

    When CNN's main headline is "Early wins are no bellwether", then you can be somewhat confident that things are not looking good for Kamala and the rest of the Democrats.

    I'd wondered why CNN has switched over to shrieking "Trump is Hitler reincarnated!" over the past few days. The media must be freaking out over the swing state polls. You have to give the media credit for giving Kamala as much momentum as they did, but it isn't going to be enough. The economy...

    Read the rest of her biography. It's far worse than that. Yes, she managed Global Security for PepsiCo before being hired as director of the USSS, but prior to that she spent 27 years as a Secret Service agent. This is a woman who has had nearly 30 years of experience in the Secret Service...

    The media is already making a thing of him being registered as a Republican, but for a 20-year-old who has never voted in a presidential election, it's meaningless. He gave money to a Democratic PAC, which perhaps says more about his personal opinions. But I suspect that Crooks was just...

    2nd Amendment thread

    My guess is that she was outside, with the door propped open by the rock. She saw the shooter, panicked, pulled open the door, and ran inside without kicking the rock out of the way. By the time she realized her mistake, it was far too late.

    2nd Amendment thread

    It's possible that the shooter saw the open door when he first arrived and headed straight towards it, assuming it would be unlocked. Or it is possible that the door was never actually closed in the first place. The teacher saw someone with a gun headed towards her, panicked, and ran. It is...
