Bizarre how many Spanish speaking people voted for him... They should build a bridge over The White House so he'll feel more at home...

It's certainly an oversimplified backward step, notwithstanding some of the overreaching claims of being scientific in the name of "progress" that this now purports to put straight. Unfortunate especially for some individuals, many whom are especially vulnerable.

I'm just so relieved that I can wake up tomorrow knowing Putin's Great Unpatriotic War against Ukraine will be over...or maybe it will take the full 24 hours...but we know we can count on Trump to keep his promises. Now off to put all my investments in his shitcoins...because what could possibly go wrong?

(Do we tell him?) just kidding!

Didn't want to start a thread for this but wanted to post this video, it's somewhat on topic, and no one else has replied to the original post. +1 to the OP.

If Russia had no nuclear threats, implied or otherwise, Russia would have already lost their "special military operation". Presumably, Russia still has a chance to "win" it.

I think they have that in Russia. Putin feels he is the only one that meets your criteria, has only used violence to protect the innocent, and has compassionately added an extra election where most get to vote as long as the vast majority vote for him, just to allow everyone to feel good about the system.

That is good. How about El Deuce for Vance?

In her defence, she thought it was other peoples faces that were going to be eaten... ...and now I notice the MY in capitals...

Thanks. just saw this now. I thought it was just the sites constructed and the missiles on their way turned mid Atlantic.

Everything now is one extreme or the other. Harris's campaign toward the middle has been rejected. America wants concrete answers sans details. The last thing they want is to be forced to think.

Not quite. They were on their way to Cuba but better sense prevailed.

Nice to see a politician determined to keep his campaign promises. Not sure of the details, as no one, including him no doubt, knows what they are...but he did promise stupid

I'm not sure after every vote is counted she will have lost the popular vote but it hardly matters. She ran a decent campaign, Trump ran his worst and least honest so far, and this is the result. Not sure what to think never mind say.

We're living in the twilight zone.

It's pure something...

Thanks. I tried it but they want my email... Assuming the non battleground States go as expected that leaves the Harris with 226, 44 short of 270 And Trump 219, 51 short So there are 3 possible results leaving a tie at 269 with Harris getting 43 and Trump 50: Harris: Arizona (11) Georgia (16) and North Carolina (16) leaving Trump: Michigan (15) Nevada (6) Pennsylvania (19) Wisconsin (10) or Harris: Arizona (11) Georgia (16) Nevada (6) and Wisconsin (10) leaving Trump: Michigan (15) North Carolina (16) and Pennsylvania (19) Or Harris: Arizona (11) North Carolina (16) Nevada (6) and Wisconsin (10) leaving Trump: Michigan (15) Georgia (16) and Pennsylvania (19) What happens in the case of a tie? https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/electoral-college-tie-2024-election-what-happens-rcna175477

Am I putting that together correctly...Every poll "including this one" that now has Harris leading? So probably leading by significantly more? I get a sense the Democrat pollsters want to be, ironically, conservative while the GOP pollsters are trying to be optimistic...partly to motivate the base and partly to set the narrative to try to steal the election (something they are already accusing the Dems of) Maybe just wishful thinking but I would like to think this time the Dems win convincingly enough that Trump, or at least his potential henchmen, realize the games over.

"They voted for Kamala after eating the pets that would have voted for me!" -Donald Trump on illegal aliens circa mid November 2024 Yeah I'm losing it...

I tend to check 538 and find the Democrats holding or very slightly declining, despite hearing more descriptions of Democrats building early leads...probably the way I'm sampling or what I'm clicking but if in fact it's due to GOP putting their finger on the polls should 538 not be adjusting for that? I predicted Harris would win, almost comfortably, if she ran in a certain way and not only has she done that...but Trump seems to be getting in his own way. I would expect Harris would have a lead nationally of about 4% (and probably need at least 2) but 538 has her lead dwindled to 1.1 after building to over 3 a couple months back. I hope you Americans on this site have already voted but show up tomorrow with a least 3 decent minded friends that might not have voted otherwise...(I do realize I'm preaching to the choir)

Sure. Speak for the West...it's certainly Putin's business in Russia (and eventually other recovered territories): https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-battling-birth-rate-dip-is-working-child-free-ideology-ban-says-putin-2024-09-24/

Why do I need to do that? Maybe if a clearly better candidate had been available prior to Biden announcing DEI criteria...he wouldn't have announced DEI criteria...

My context was for a single position.

We (not sure if you were included) definitely discussed this here. Just over four years ago but I am absolutely sure. I said at the time Biden should have simply made his choice as the best available pick. Being black, and being female, could have factored in to that, politics being what it is. But he didn't do that. He virtue signalled in not a good way IMO. That's on him, not Harris. I'm sure she was happy she was chosen but would have preferred to be chosen as the best available candidate, not the best available black female. Correct me if I'm wrong but choosing a DEI candidate doesn't mean you won't get the best candidate, it just means you've excluded other candidates that might have been a better choice. For my part, I didn't like the pick at the time, nothing to do with the fact she was black or female, but like it now...also nothing to do with the fact she's black or female.
