I'm betting far more people want to see Trump strung up by his ankles, maybe he should bow to pressure there as well.

The Marquis de Condorcet wrote about the evils of Christianity back in the 1790s.

He wrote about how it was a tool of oppression, not just of the person, but of the mind and spirit.

And nothing has changed in the last 200 years.

State law. Rrump can't pardon it away.

Yes, imagine if the coup attempt was real.

As a hint. It wasn't. Especially not the helicopter ride. That part was so staged it's comical.

Except that the coup was very real. Turned a democracy into a dictatorship with one scripted helicopter ride.

Vance the couch fucker.

There was a claim that, in the first draft of his book, Vance recounted a teenage sexual encounter with a couch. In great detail.

This claim came with an image of the text, which is easily found if you want that sort of thing.

The truthfulness of the claim has been questioned, but Vance just seems like the kind of guy who would fuck a couch.

Do people in glass houses shit in the woods?

Technically the Nazis lost that election, but the Conservatives who won turned around and handed power to Hitler, all to prevent the Left from gaining power.

The two party system will always fail. The problem is, Durverger's Law.

As long as the US uses Ordinal voting systems, we will never have a viable third party. Worse, any attempt to create a third party will only siphon votes away from its ideological neighbor, resulting in the ideological opposite gaining an easy win.

There's a reason why Jill Stein had that dinner with Putin.

Trump does intend to die in office. That's the point. That's his full plan.

But that death could be 10 years from now. Elections are pretty much over.

Tim Walz came out swinging, and they instantly sidelined him.

That alone was enough to say that the campaign was fucked.

The only way this goes wrong for him is if he leaves office. He has no intention of allowing that to happen.

A bucket list is usually "a list of things to do before you die" i.e. kick the bucket.

I can see how your use is correct, but it also doesn't feel right, which is 90% of language.

To my ear, saying that Futurama is simply "on the list" just sounds better.

Another option would be saying that the show is in your backlog.

But, use bucket list enough, and sooner or later that will sound correct. Because that's also how language works.

More than one test failed.

The Tesla failed the heavy rain and the heavy fog tests.

There's zero excuse to fail either of those tests. But the Tesla killed the kid both times.

The wall test was just to show that the Tesla cannot put together optical clues.

The other two tests that the Tesla failed were more realistic. Heavy fog and heavy rain.

It failed both.

If your self driving car cannot handle weather, then it's not self driving at all.

Actual lidar isn't fooled by weather. Shitty optical only cameras are.

I do know that NAFTA is gone. Trump got rid of that one during his first term

There was a replacement deal that Trump has now renegged on.

He called it a great deal at the time... I'll let actual experts way in on the truth of that.

Small cuts can be sealed with medical grade super glue. Also, the thought is that Trump was hit by glass or other debris. Not the bullet itself.

Very little in life is staged. I've worked in a theatre, with professional actors, and it still takes weeks of work to pull off a play.

This also includes some improv work.

So the very first thing you have to acknowledge is that Trump would never do the work needed to pull off anything staged. He can read (sort of) a speech written by someone else, but the smarmy bastard cannot act to save his life.

The next thing here, Crooks was using live rounds. And killed a guy behind Trump. Trump would never allow his own life to be put at risk.

And third, Crooks was a notoriously bad shot. He was kicked out of his highschool gun club over it and some safety violations.

The kid was a mass shooter in waiting who just so happened to come across an opportunity to shoot a former president. And he blew it, just one more failure to add to the pile that was his life.

Measles also resets your immune system, making other illnesses deadly again.

Back in the day you'd survive Smallpox, then get Measles, then get Smallpox again.

These days, I guess it will be Covid and the Flu killing most people.

It's doubtful that they killed him, he was just a kid when they took him. They have him squirrelled away somewhere, having gone through heavy indoctrination. Just waiting for the Dali Lama to die.

The entire family has bad taste in names, Errol Musk... Also a jackass, but less of a large scale grifter.
