I'm Aquarian, so that makes me highly sceptical of your claims.

The outcome is self-fulfilling. He is helping to create the conditions for the necessity to carry. How does one begin to help people out of that mind-trap/cognitive feedback loop? How does one extricate a whole country out of that type of collective thought process?

Cheers.

Americans, generally, have become over-familiar with weapons and have lost respect for them. They also don't seem to realize that every one of them is a potential mass murderer should the 'perfect storm' affect their lives. Most mass murderers in the US are not inherently criminal and don't look like one. People like Nicholas Cruz are sad people, not evil. imo. The distress in court that he didn't get the death penalty because a unanimous verdict was required and the resulting outrage... US laxity allowed that violent expression and I wouldn't put the blame all on him. People who support the right to bear arms without restrictions are enablers for people in crisis to carry out mass murders.

Reading comments about GOP voters thoughts on a Trump return appear to not be a majority. 6 out of 10 think he shouldn't run because he's too divisive and will be 78 in 2024. Sleepy Ol' Joe would be replaced by a Sleepy Ol' Trump.

Trump threatens DeSantis: What a lovely working team they are. Does the significant GOP lead just mean the Democratic mail-in ballots are again going to later narrow the difference in the swing states?

Isn't it sad that the more money people make, the more reluctant they are to pay equitable taxes... it's as though he earned the 200B.

By wanting GOP to take Congress to bring a balance of power set my BS radar off straightaway. He's wearing his GOP stripes now.

Any comments regarding Musk's sacking of half the Twitter staff just before todays election and overt support of the GOP?

Every model fails at some point eventually when new data comes in that doesn't fit.

Newtonian gravity is descibed as a force. GR is curved spacetime and Quantum Gravity has it mediated by graviton particles. GR comes up short below Planck level and QG comes up short at the macro level, so which level you look at determines which you use. This is the 'domain of applicability'.

Collective memory loss. Reports suggest this is going to be drawn out over days, so I won't be staying up here in the UK.

What I find disturbing under the justice-legal and political systems your side is people are always trying to find ways around the law. The UK system is not great by any means, but we don't seem to get litigation everytime something changes, just to see if it will stick. Brexit was probably the messiest and most litigious situation here that I can remember, finally ending up in the Supreme Court. THe UKSC cases rarely headline and in such a protracted manner as the US system.

Correction noted. Ta. Watching this and the PBS's Battle for Ukraine (requires Google sign in here) has given me more of an understanding of nationalist groups, and the history and catalysts behind their formation. I think it would be fair to say the Europe-centric part is pretty damn indomitable.

This is a quite riveting showing of the Euromaiden protests in 2013-2014. It's quite hard to watch at times but it really gives a feeling of the determination of the people there. You need 90 minutes to watch it through.

It's his biggest fear. When he visited a famous military cemetry as President, might have been Arlington, he regarded the fallen as 'losers'.

If he wants the civilians out, does this look like a prelude to another scorched Earth attack on Kherson?

If it can be measured, it's science.

Have you noticed Trump often/always gives himself some escape space in case what he says comes back on him? He rarely commits. https://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewsolender/2020/05/22/all-the-times-trump-promoted-hydroxychloroquine/

Yes, he appears to be a potentially bigger problem. The biggest problem Trump has caused, I think, is that his tenure has given confidence to people that wouldn't otherwise have run.

Ah well, I'm trying! Trump's company is now under compulsory anti-fraud monitoring... there's hope.

If De Santis, Pence and others run on the Republican presidential ticket, will that dilute Trump's vote tally if he runs?

How much habitat was flooded to make it?

What we are seeing looks like brinkmanship on the part of the Russians, I think.
