They say they are out, but blood has always been thicker than water among Trumps. Vance wil be the nominee in 28, he is the superstar of republican party.

Even going to a movie and acting like things are normal feels futile. Following the Boise State Broncos, or the Lions or Arizona basketball which are things I normally do feels futile. Every exit of escape is blocked. The horror is to great to contemplate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically Musk isn't eligible for the office unless they find a way around that, but I could see further sane-washing of Drumpf or even hiding that he's very ill so that he can act as the one pulling the strings.

LaceyLou Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 All I can say is this: as tired as I am I will look to see who's up for re-election during the midterms, maybe not today but by the end of the week. Turnout tends to be low in elections when the President is not being chosen so we do have the chance to improve. (not confident that will happen, but I can only hope) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdahoBert Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 I have a really low opinion of white men even though I pretty much look like one because my 1/4 of Pottawatami doesn’t really show. When I go to the mall and I see a group of old white men sitting at a table I automatically assume they’re up to no good. And if they have Bibles, I know they’re up to no good. There’s one group of guys five or six of them who meet once a week I see there and I usually just tune them out but one of them last week was wearing a “veterans for Harris T-shirt” loudly proclaiming his support. So I know I’m not completely surrounded by jerks but more often than not at least where I live white males tend to toxicity. Even in a blue city like Boise. My trans son lives in Oregon and is worried about losing the hormones he’s been on for six years. This hateful bull**** has consequences. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pains me in a certain kind of way. We just re-elected the ultimate bully, with no consequences for his bad, bullying, disgusting behavior. I wanted to let you know that I’m sorry for the bullying you endured in your youth. I’m sure that that abuse cannot ever just be evicted from the soul of your being. And, for sure, it absolutely feels like America has decided that his lying, cheating, and total lack of humanity and empathy is what they are drawn to. It’s beyond baffling. I am feeling despair, and I don’t know how to get past it. Maybe I’ll see a path tomorrow, but today I feel like I’m attending the wake for the death of my country. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger337 Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 1 hour ago, Hongbit said: Another thing this election has changed for the future will be the acceptance of online betting markets as a reliable predictor. These markets have been calling this for over a year with barely any wavering. Even when the polls were saying Harris, the betting line may have moved but it never flipped from Trump. I’m not sure they will replace polling as the main predictor but they are clearly no longer an afterthought anymore. I think they are useful predictors, but not reliable because they are easily manipulatd by a small number of wealthy people. I suppose that makes them very American though.

(I'm out of likes, so have to answer posts) Most New Yorkers are awesome-which is why it hurts extra when people like Drumpf and Giuliani come from there.

You have that luxury. 😁 This happens only on iOS that I have seen, and only when there's a situation involving going to a new page. All anyone has to do when they are on iOS and they submit and nothing appears to happen is just to go on as though it posted, even though it's still showing up like it isn't. It probably posted fine, but worst case, if it didn't, your post should still be in the window when you refresh or go to the next page, and then you can submit again.

Also people who think that vaccines cause more harm than good. I'm actually concerned that vaccines will be, if not outlawed outright, then slow-walked via government regulation in a way that make them difficult-to-impossible to get.

LaceyLou Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 One last observation before I go offscreen to give my eyes and my soul a break. Childless cat ladies like me have been told we're bad for the country because we have no stake in its future. And yet.... a lot of people who told us this are the ones who want to dismantle public education, roll back protections for clean air and water, and weaken or outright eliminate child labor laws. For people who insist that they have a stake in society because they have children, they don't seem all that interested in providing a clean, healthy environment for future generations. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasfh Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 As long as we're still saying our goodbyes—good bye, Affordable Care Act. Hello, full-priced insurance (with guaranteed double-digit-percent annual increases) for entrepreneurs and other "unemployed" people. Millions will fall off the rolls. All according to plan, since healthcare is not a right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigermojo Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 My view is very bleak. There will be an "election" in 2028 just like Russia has elections. Canada will be following suit and is already starting to lean right. Europe won't be able to resist. Freedom will die worldwide. They will destroy the environment in the name of the almighty dollar and future generations will pay the price. If they do manage to create AI, they won't use it to improve mankind, it will replace us serfs because we won't be necessary anymore. The elite will live in their luxury bunkers in a barren wasteland on Earth and Mars. Idiocracy and the Handmaid's Tale are documentaries from the future and we were too ignorant, misogynistic and hateful to realize it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
