    Having an abortion referendum on the ballot is going to help, but I doubt Kunce can actually win... sadly. 

    Unlikely, but 4 points is within the realm of possibility, which is saying something in Missouri.

    For real, I don't know if I have the stamina (that's what she said) to keep up with this for much longer.  I'm 42.  I've got a lot of other shit to do in the coming years other than worry about a bunch of stupid fucks destroying our nation.  If it continues on much longer after this, I think I'll just have to cut my losses and move on.

    You know what cures that, continual winning.

    I think the idea that we are going to know anything within weeks or maybe even months of election night in November is silly.  These goons are going to tie up everything in the courts for months.  That has been the goal since January 6th failed.

    I disagree, but because they will only try this if it's remotely close, I don't think it's going to be.  I think we will over-perform even the more optimistic polling, which at that point send most of these folks running for the shade, which won't be anywhere near Trump.  Make absolutely no mistake though, we will need to remain steadfast for the forseeable future, as they have set the stage to make all this possible in future elections as well as this one.  We need to win the battle in our immediate site lines, but this political fight is far from over, and won't be until lots of judges leave the bench while we have Democratic control.  The damage of the unholy union of Trump and McConnell will take years, perhaps decades, for us to rid ourselves of them.

    Exactly.  What is inspected?  

    That's a great question, I haven't read a ton on it, but my general understanding is storage and security.  How many does that include?  Obviously, they aren't going into strategic locations, is there another way they verify conditions, etc?  

    Generally speaking, not just in terms of military capability, you can judge just about anything (a company, government, etc) by their maintenance standards and practices.  I can't imagine that Russia's was good, but to the point of being derelict to cause safety concerns?  We certainly haven't heard anything like that prior, nor now, and I have to imagine that would have leaked by now.  

    I think it's a pipe dream to think that they don't at least have a percentage of working weapons, mind you that has nothing to do with the delivery method (which we've seen that part of theirs is shit, but capable to a degree).  I get the impulse based on their overall performance to think of them as paper tiger's in this regard, but these two things are likely to be vastly disconnected.

    Do I love the kinda background humorous cultural jab about our future first black female president holding a rally in North Carolina at an arena named after fried chicken?  You're goddamned right I do.

    Also, I really need to try Bojangles, I hear good things.

    The biscuits are healthy (I kid) and delicious.  I'm a big fan of the cajun chicken biscuit, get a Cherwine to go with it, quite good.

    I said essentially this to a Trumper yesterday and was told "Well Kamala slept her way to the top, so they both have their warts". 

    That Montell Williams is a gateway to power.

    I mean forget about all the other individual achievement thru out her life, both academic and professional.  Nope, what got her on the path to power was Montell Williams, perfectly sound logic.

    That plus the first full depressurization and repressurization of a manned Crew Dragon in orbit. Lotta firsts are gonna happen overnight. It's a fuckin shame it's elmos company doing it

    They did achieve the highest orbit at 870 miles, about 17 more than Gemini 11.  (the lunar trips apparently don't count as the weren't true orbits but rather lunar transjection burn starts.  So that have that record.

    At this point I'm just going only acknowledge that its a bunch of talented people at Space X doing great things, that happened to work for an asshole.  (Ironically, sound like most companies).
