comment from the page (by a Mark Fuller):

People need to remember that the stock is worthless until you sell it.

Yeayyyyy!

Dun-dun-dun: another one bites the dust!

partially because he got into legal hassles for using an AR-15 to defend himself against people who wanted to harm him.

The flip-flop by Rittenhouse – who has fashioned himself as a gun rights activist after shooting two people to death in Kenosha, Wisconsin, during racial justice protests in 2020 – followed an initial pledge to write in former congressman Ron Paul as his choice on November’s presidential election ballot.

wp:Ron Paul will be celebrating his 89th birthday in less than 3 weeks.

Yet, his speech is better than either Trump's or Biden's:

I'm a female foot fetishist and I don't like high heels on women:

my post in reddit 4 years ago:

I find high heels on women a turn off.

High heels are an incredible turn-off

What if they're Indigenous pagans?

IIUC, that's a mostly consensual activity.

I don't think a lot of Syrians were allowed into Canada as much as Germany and Sweden (at least proportionately in the latter case).

as it was under Stalin.

She continued: "And I said to him: 'Listen. I'm not a flat-earther. I'm not a round-earther.' Actually, what I am is, I am somebody who has left the cult of science. I have left the megachurch of science because what I have now realized is that science—what it is actually, if you think about it—is a pagan faith."

interesting points about Israel, though.

They certainly seem less concerned about it, but they seem to oppose the Gazan genocide better than Biden or Trump.

Americans have no choice but the 2-party state: it is futile to even try to change things.

from a forum I used to be on:

According to the Supreme Court who ruled that presidents can do whatever they want and be immune if it’s technically official business, Biden can just blow up Mar-a-lago now and be done with it. No need to waste taxpayer money with elections and all that malarkey.

Do both.

Before the debate, I wasn't sure who'd win: Biden or Trump.

Even Allen Lichtman was unsure.

After the debate, I figure Biden will lose.

I'm not saying it's an absolute certainty—we have 4 months and many things could happen. If someone offered to bet me their $500 that Trump will win to my $100 on Biden winning, I'd take it.

If Biden is replaced, I think he'd be more likely to lose.

If he was elected, Biden needn't serve all 4 years: he could resign a few months later, make Harris President, and AOC, Sanders, Newsom, whatever, as VP.

As I think Biden will lose, one might want to vote their hearts.

Keep in mind, it might be dependent on states.

wp:2020 United States presidential election#Results by state

If 2.5 million Californians who voted for Biden instead voted for RJK Jr, Stein, and West in 2024, Biden (or his replacement) would still probably win all 55 Electoral College votes of that state.

If the 5 million Texans who voted for Biden, also, instead voted RJK Jr, Stein, and West in 2024, Biden would lose no more Electoral College votes.

How likely is Biden, or his possible replacement, to be elected?

Every President in US history has been a man and all but 1 was white.

I don't think it means fuck-all. IIUC to win the necessary Electoral College votes, one has to win at least 37% of the popular vote in a 2-way (or mostly 2-way) race.
