  1. I know Trump still has a small, passionate base but overall the energy levels of his supporters comes across as much lower than 2016 and 2020. The low energy crowd will still most likely vote for him but they seem to just want everything to be over.
  2. Sheehy also answers questions that his military record is clear and that he's given plenty of interviews about this subject. Both inaccurate claims. And he follows it up that experts have said it was impossible that he shot himself by accident in a parking lot. Makes me wonder if his wife intentionally shot him in that parking lot and that he wants to protect her but not enough to take the blame himself. He also is strangely cautious about not calling the park ranger a liar or even that the ranger has the facts wrong. My guess is that a lawyer has told him that calling the ranger a liar could lead to a defamation suit.
  3. Another sign that Sheehy is hiding something with Megyn Kelly was his constant inability to answer the question being asked. Q: Were you shot in the national park? A: I fell down while hiking. That interview felt like someone being deposed.
  4. in fairness there are some people who only need the a handful of photos/selfies for social media and then they want to move on.
  5. I’m left more confused regarding the story after watching that video. He talks about friendly fire in Afghanistan but doesn’t specifically mention how he was injured there. He implies that he didn’t have medical attention when shot during his service. Something something about needing to remain with his team. as for the “shot in a national parking lot”, he says that it was called a gunshot wound because he fell and it dislodged the bullet im his arm from his service. at a minimum there is something fishy going on that he doesn’t want to talk about. Whether something odd happened in Afghanistan or glacier national park, he doesn’t want to be clear on the facts. then claims that
  6. Spacex build process is about making mistakes, blowing up rockets and then adjusting. I imagine that burns thru many employees either with quitting or firing. if Elon was given multiple attempts at getting out the vote, I believe he would get much better at it. Thankfully I don’t think we will see this again.
  7. Never really thought about it but if I lived in Puerto Rico, I would “move” to FL for every federal election. How many weeks do I need to be there? Done.
  8. Even when wearing a trash bag, they still wrap themselves in the flag apparel. Constant flag wearing is the biggest sign of virtue signaling.
  9. Tim Sheehy is a bitch. He refuses to be interviewed. And when accused of lying about being shot while deployed to Afghanistan he stays quiet on the issue. he was actually shot when he accidentally fired his weapon in a parking lot at glacier national park. If he really was shot during his military service, he would be proudly proclaiming it. I’m not surprised if Montana selects a gop senator but this guy? Pathetic.
  10. USFL story of how Trump ruined the league. Interesting part where Trump convinced many of the other USFL owners that the NFL will be so afraid of Trump and Roy Cohn that the NFL will just settle. (Same story as Trump says how every country is afraid of him) Trump was one of the few plaintiff witness and was destroyed by the NFL lawyer. Worth staying to end of the story how the NFL paid their $3 in damages.
  11. Give me rage reading your story. Sadly there are some bad people in life that can’t wait to take advantage of others.
  12. I’ve always felt the concept of step-children and step-siblings are all based when people come into your life. If you’re 50 when dad remarries and his new wife’s children are in their 40s, they’re not step children/siblings. Now if dad remarries when you’re 22 and the younger kids are 8 and 10, then dad has a role in their upbringing and may consider them stepchildren. for the scenario where dad remarries at 80, dies at 85 and leaves everything to the new wife and her kids, Dad’s an asshole at that point. And that can happen in the reverse as well. Leave everything to his kids and hope they assist his wife. Get a lawyer and do it right.
  13. Dems are afraid of churches and tax exempt status. Dems also have an unrealistic hope to unite the country. Hence why Obama decided to forgive the Bush Admin for all crimes under their watch especially related to the war on terror.
  14. I agree there is a Greater Fool Theory in play with Bitcoin until it becomes a self realized prophecy as more people and wealth buys into it. What is the value of fiat currency other than you have faith that the country behind it. You hold onto whatever currency based on the hope that the country and its citizens agree that it has value. If Americans agreed today that the $2 bill was actually phony money, it would not be exchangeable for two $1 bills. Personally I don't even consider bitcoin to be a currency. It's called that because of the incorrectly applied term, cryptocurrency. Value is defined by what people want it to be defined. You or I can't tell others how to define it.
  15. History's greatest genocidists. Perhaps break it down to a European, Asian and New World edition.
  16. The ship has sailed in that more institutions and govts are looking into bitcoin and perhaps other crypto. When funds (pension, ETFs, state/national sovereign) decide to buy bitcoin, the price almost has nowhere to go but skyrocket since there is an extremely limited supply. There are uninformed critics that point to the question that how do you know there isn't more bitcoin or that more can't be created by hackers. That's out of ignorance in that the code regulates the growth and the blockchain can be read by anyone to see the exact amounts today. There are some nerdy finance and math types who debated and mitigated every concern years ago. There are more controls in the bitcoin blockchain than other financial systems.
  17. The low Texas enthusiasm always tells me how ripe Texas is for a Democrat wave to take the state. However there is a problem that loud Dem enthusiasm always encourage GOP get out the vote. Beto scared many casual GOP voters to show up to vote for Cruz in 2018. Allred is probably running into that as well.
  18. Why does anything think that he voted for Harris? Someone from an authoritarian country would more naturally vote for an authoritarian not Harris. EDIT: This is also why we should have an identifying data on a vote that indicates exactly who an individual votes so that we can remove a vote when it's determined to be wrong. Personally I don't care if the govt, via a regulated process, can figure out who I voted for. If the Trump browns shorts want to arrest me, I'm not afraid of them. Take me off to you MAGA concentration camp.
  19. https://radiologybusiness.com/topics/artificial-intelligence/elon-musk-urges-users-submit-x-ray-pet-and-mr-images-xai-chatbot-grok Why in the world should healthcare orgs freely give millions of radiology images to Elon so he can build a for-profit AI tool? Sure his AI tool might point out something today that was missed but today the imaging tech/doctor already have access to tools to assist them. It's not like their holding up xrays to the ceiling light to read them. And I'm not even touching on the idea that no one should trust Elon with data that would identify a patient. Overall I see huge promise with AI assisting providers and patients but how could someone not give pause to giving Elon data for free. It wouldn't surprise me that if you gave him a MRI record, he would find legal methods to claim the MRI is now his and not yours.
  20. are you still talking about voting or is it general commentary about those cities?
  21. What everyone says especially especially the growing online communities. Bury yourself in videos, podcasts, or message board (e.g., TexAgs politics) and you think anyone even considering a lib idea, is a soft beta.
  22. Hence why the Trump won't stop running for President until he's dead. The quiet part is that many in the GOP think that either Tues or 2028 will be the end of Trump. He's going nowhere with his army of supporters. The MFer practically embalmed now with McDonalds grease. He can fight off any disease with that.
  23. Little shit went from screwing around (before the crime) with his friends yesterday afternoon to a court appearance this morning where his bond was set at 55K. FAFO
  24. He was one of eight teenagers who were confronting voters. He was the one that took to brandishing a weapon. EDIT: I'm sure we will hear from the parents that he's actually a good kid that took a prank too far. when I was that age, I did some dumb things but protesting a voting location and voters was definitely no where on the agenda.
