    The 2024 Us Presidential Election Thread

    So, are we expecting him to confess that Trump won because of voting fraud? Or to be so petty as to accuse us of fraud because he didn't win by more?

    The 2024 Us Presidential Election Thread

    Define "get away with." Hard for there to be consequences when the people you're pissing off no longer have a way to remove you from office.

    The 2024 Us Presidential Election Thread

    Unfortunately the marketplace of ideas is like the free market itself. In the absence of any system that forcibly stamps down any players who become too powerful, the natural tendency is toward consolidation of power from the many to the few. People often speak of late-stage capitalism; maybe...

    Trump Redivivus - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Because the media has been sweeping it under the rug and trying to prevent as many people as possible from knowing about it. So someone has to step up and fill the gap.

    Trump Redivivus - The 45 & 47 Thread

    That's another good point. She tried to appeal to some hypothetical demographic of people who consider restoring abortion rights an important enough issue to base their whole vote around... and yet were still on the fence about who to vote for, and needed to be reminded every single commercial...

    Trump Redivivus - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I don't think the cult was even that important of a factor. Trump edged out Harris the same way Clinton beat Bush, by appealing to economic issues and the perennial assumption that the current president is always to blame for that and that replacing him with the guy in the opposite party can...

    Neo-Nazi terrorists in the US

    As usual I blame lack of exposure in everyday life. In Europe people have three-phase all the way into the house, so they can't ignore it, but in the US it's converted into two-phase for the home.

    Trump Redivivus - The 45 & 47 Thread

    We spent four years dragging our feet about actually prosecuting him because we were so convinced he couldn't possibly ever be a threat again. History is going to remember the Biden administration the same way it remembers Neville Chamberlain. Assuming humanity survives long enough for there to...

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    The entire Democratic Party ought to rebrand as a revolutionary army, because it's literally the only thing left they can do that will make any difference at this point.

    The "What made you happy today" thread!

    Ever hear of the Most Mysterious Song on the Internet? Somebody recorded it off West German radio in the '80s, never found out who performed it or what it was called, and decades later uploaded a clip online asking for help identifying it. But help never came. Just lots of searching and...

    P&R Funnies!

    Can Harris's first act of office be to sign an executive order holding him to that promise, please?

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    If you charge someone with a crime, and it turns out he's guilty of a different crime, you have to start over. The good news is that this took barely any time at all to go through the courts, so assuming the prosecution isn't being purposely incompetent in order to fulfill the terms of a bribe...

    The 2024 Us Presidential Election Thread

    I for one plan on unplugging until someone barges into my room to tell me Harris won. And if she doesn't, I don't want to know. In fact, I won't want to know anything ever again.

    Trump Redivivus - The 45 & 47 Thread

    He's using "fair" the way a five-year-old would, meaning "beneficial to me/us personally, the only people who matter as far as I'm concerned."

    Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drug Company

    OK, this is super weird. I could have sworn I made posts in this thread when it was first made. Saying something to the effect of "Keep me posted when someone figures out what the catch is. There's got to be one, because Cuban is still a multi-billionaire and, more importantly, a self-avowed...

    The blockchain is going to destroy everything

    Their workforce in France is unionized, yeah? (Because France is a socialist country and actually guarantees people's right to do that.) At this rate, they might be able to pool their resources and buy it out, turning it into a co-op.
