"The Electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves"

US Constitution Amendment 12

The presidential and vice presidential candidates that the electors vote for cannot be from the same state.

TX was super close in 2020. Biden only lost by 630,000 votes (less than 5% of registered voters). Biden received more votes in TX than he did in NY!

If she gets only 630,000 more votes than Biden, she will have beaten Trump's votes in 2020. That's less than 5% of the registered voters in 2020.

Polls open Oct 21-Nov 1 and then one final day on Nov 5. If you vote early, there wont be a line! Polls will be open at least 9 hours the first week and at least 12 hours the second week and final day of voting. Check voter registration status, polling locations, hours, Election Dates, and more at

Technically 53% of eligible people cast a vote in 2020, which was 66% of registered voters.

The difference between a red and blue TX in 2020 was less than 5% of registered voters going to the polls for Biden.

Polls will be open Oct 21-Nov 1, with one final day to vote on Nov 5. If you procrastinate and go on the last day, there will be a line. If you go during the first 2 weeks of voting, there will be a 10 minute wait tops historically speaking. Polls will be open at leat 9 hours the first week and at least 12 hours during the second week and final day of voting (typically 7AM-7PM, though times will vary). Check your voter registration status, eligibility for ballot by mail, Election Dates, polling locations and hours (might not be up until October), and more at this site.

Even TX needed only 5% more registered voters to go blue in 2016 and even less than that in 2020. Every vote counts!

Polls in TX open Oct 21-Nov 1, with one final day of voting on Nov 5. Polls are open at least 9 hours the first week and at least 12 hours during the second week and final day of voting (typically 7AM-7PM during weekdays, though polling stations may differ)

It's probably because they can remember how convenient and cheaper it was to see any movie or show that could be streamed. Streaming was supposed to disrupt TV by eliminating ads and allowing you to choose whatever you want to watch. Nowadays, in order to get the same amount of choices, you need to spend about as much as you did for a TV subscription and now many platforms have ads.

I think it's more a frustration at what we lost than anything else.

It's largely the same system. You can play as the Greeks, Norse, or Egyptians. Each civilization has the choice of 3 major gods (is Zeus, Hades, or Poseidon) that choice is kinda like choosing your civilization in AoE. Instead of going feudal age to castle age, you choose a different minor god to worship. Each god gives you a different god power and mythological unit (Cyclops, trolls, anubites, etc). The final civilization upgrade allows you to build a building that unleashes a titan on the map.

There is a new currency called favor that is used to research some improvements unlocked by worshiping specific gods and to train mythological units.

The types of games are largely the same as AoE, with different maps. The campaigns are a lot of fun. It's a great game, especially if you like mythology. The stories are original and not based on the original myths, but you can learn some of the myths of heroes, mythical creatures, and the gods by right-clicking on them. The campaigns walk you through how to play and through the features that are different from AoE.

You can choose varying difficulty for the scenarios and can choose the difficulty of the computer players when playing a random map. This makes it about as complex as Age of Empires. However, just as with online AoE, the player vs player can have a steep learning curve if you're matched against people that have been playing a long time.

Age of Empires and Age of Mythology play similarly, where it's easy to cross from one to the other with many similar human units shared between the games. I think it's definitely worth a look into! Even the remake that's already on steam is worth it in my opinion.

Thanks for the clarification! It's hard to keep track of all the chaos since he entered politics.

But he wasn't president yet. How can immunity from prosecution for official acts while President cover crimes that were committed before being elected to office?

In the US, it's extremely rare to have a light switch outside if yhe room with the light. Usually there's a lights witch and a couple sockets in the bathroom by the mirror.

With an organized, armed attack on the Capitol in 2021 and hints at another one after this election, we can't afford to have a republican as the runner up to POTUS.

The Constitution is clear that keep their position in good behavior. The vast majority of people can see that accepting bribes is bad behavior. The question is who goes about removing justices? IIRC that isn't specifically laid out.

This comment reminds me that one time I came across an hour and a half long ad on YouTube that turned out to be a full episode of some show and something else. It was crazy to see one that long after skipping a couple ads

If they have trump stuff and a Jesus fish, do they speed or go 10 under the speed limit?

No, because "it" is a pronoun as well. You would have to use Donald's name every time you reference Donald in order to keep from using pronouns to refer to Donald.

15 years isn't really that long. Older tvs could last decades. My grandparents are still using a TV they bought at least 30 years ago. My other set of grandparents have some tvs still functioning that are even older than that.

No, they aren't going to change their minds, just passing along a reason that I'd heard. That group has so much brainwashing and mental gymnastics training that they live in a different reality.

From what I heard some else say. If he really was struck by a bullet that grazed his cheek and ear, it could be said that he was saved by an act of God. If he was struck by broken glass, the shooter just didn't aim well and the glass just flew towards trump.

How is he both the Secretary of Transportation and a Senator simultaneously?

Texans can check their voter registration status, register to vote, check polling hours and locations, and find other information about the election. At this website: https://www.votetexas.gov/mobile/index.htm

Polls open October 21-November 1, with one final day to cast your vote on November 5. Polls are required to be open at least 9 hours the first week and at least 12 hours the second week of voting. Some polling places may be open on the weekend. If you don't want to wait in line, don't wait until thw last day to cast your vote!
