  1. The newest Epstein tapes are already lost to the media. Lol.
  2. I was kidding, sir. Sushi's been saying that every single new voter is rural.
  3. Slight aside, I'm thrilled last night that, after reading this or other threads in the CR this AM, that I didn't see anyone dressed in a fucking garbage bag last night trick or treating. Mother fuck ton of Harris/Walz signs and the like, however, in the neighborhood we went to with friends.
  4. Yes, but Target Smart also says those are 95% rural voters, sir.
  5. Tell her you're taking her to lunch, meanwhile the other one of you has just been standing in line waiting for her, so she can show up and vote. Then go eat lunch. If she refuses, tell her that she's dead to both of you. I wasn't criticizing you, man. Just speaking for myself.
  6. This is why I don't socialize. I'd have just fucking pulled the green shirt laughing guy right to their face.
  7. I know the rest of the world is just as fucked up as here. Outside of the existence of some basic protected rights for women, and other baselines, I think that living elsewhere would...break my heart less. Having been raised in the 80s/90s on the concept of the American Dream, and equality, and freedom, learning and being remidned every single day that it's all pretty much a bunch fo bullshit that people these days can't wait to tear down and completely erradicate as quickly as possibly...it's a weight that I'm struggling to bear. Along with willful ignorance, rejection of intelligence and science and learning. That shit exists to varying degrees everywhere, but I don't think seeing it every day there will break my heart like seeing it here every day does...
  8. The mainstream media won't even mention it, so why should we? Bama and his wife have this one correct. If this were effecting my wife that horribly, we'd already have a plan to fucking move. Sadly, she can't handle the anxiety of this shit so she unplugs and pretend it doesn't exist. I mean, she knows Trump is bad, she knows what's under assault, but she has convinced herself things will work out because basically, she has no other choice for her mental health. But if she were having nightmares or talking about therapy, we'd be fucking out of here. She did look into getting her passport renewed, however, when I told her to last week. Which is something.
  9. It amazes me that after about a decade, there is still only one source for that gif on the internet and it's still choppy AF.
  10. His followers will never notice. “Witch hunt,” etc. even after he’s dead they won’t wake up.
  11. I expect awareness was more the. You’d expect because so many right wing q nuts jumped on that conspiracy, tried to tie it to Clinton, etc.
  12. There’s a thread that probably has that info. Huck had been tracking Texas by county in the lab thread.
  13. lol, optimistic about what? Texas flipping? Otherwise WGAF. Also new state, new friends, imo.
  14. Somehow I feel like this Epstein shit won’t even make it onto the radar of the general public.
  15. How is claiming he’s the party who has been aggrieved not valid in a case where the guy is claiming a 3rd party entity, in which he has no financial stake, edits or doesn’t edit an interview (which he’d have to prove they did and isn’t industry home), and that it directly harmed him somehow? Wouldn’t every political ad ever be subject to this suit if a network chose to air it and he disagreed with it? It feels like standing is an issue to me.
  16. SushiHorn loooooves TargetSmart. Great. As I said, Im not a lawyer. Can you try this in English or do you want to keep speaking in Klingon?
  17. Not a lawyer, but what’s the standing here?
  18. That's not entirely my experience, and that's also not the experience of some gay men on this thread. Obviously your mileage may vary.
  19. AtlasIntel was one of the best 2020 pollsters?!?
  20. It's defiinitely miserable, but it is effectively keeping the hopeium and the doom effectively separate.
  21. Scientology got tax exempt status by suing the fuck out the IRS repeatedly. AFter they fucking failed to infiltrate the IRS with agents that were Scientologists. They had hundreds of millions of dollars at the time in free cash, even though they owed the IRS a Billion Dollars when they started the lawsuits and massive media campaign, etc. It seems to me that smaller Baptist, and Evangelical churches have the opposite situation, and it's a vulnerability. The IRs should revoke their status, or challenge it, and take each little fucking church without ties to a massive organization and make them pay the fucking attorney fees to prove they didn't violate the law. Oh, you violated it and go bankrupt? Ok, well, we're going to take a real hard look at the brand new church you try to open up right down the street when you apply for tax exempt status. If you were a documened member and applying for the new church? NO dice, 10 year blacklist. You recruit completely new people with a clean record to be the face of the new church? Well ok, each new church gets a 5 year probationary period where you can get your shit revoked for violating the law, and you'll owe back taxes as a result. The SBC loves being a loose organization without overall ties so they can continue to diddle kids and suffer no consequecnes, well, guess what, that means you don't have shared resources to legally defend each fucking church that violates the fucking law. Your big churches like Second Bapstist would probably be just fine. They have resources. But the little ones would get fucked. And eventually they'd have a hard time recruiting new cut-outs to sign their names on the Tax Exempt documents. So by default...these guys would probably just end up...following the fucking law. I'm sure some smaller congretations where every member is a die hard trumper would survive and not leak anything...but a lot wouldn't. Make them fucking work for it. I'm so sick of the poison of organized religion fucking politics more than it's already fucked.
  22. I I dunno. It had Harris up by like 16% in PA, or some outrageously high number? I'm totally cool if it ends up being 9%. Hell, even 7%.
  23. If that's anyone's asshole, I've got to say, that asshole has seem some fucking things. Gaping, colostomy bag inducing things.
  24. I'd respond with "Well, the person who you also consider your president called this entire country a garbage can. Why didn't that bother you?"
