    Not to be a Debbie downer, but of all the accusations about Project 2025 I have heard, I rarely see any actual quotes from the text of it. Maybe the meme team and Xitter crew could get on that so it isn't so easy to dismiss as hyperbole. Reading lists of bullet points to P2025 is about as useful as reading them a list of sins that god in the Bible committed. You gotta make them read the text about it and make them try to reconcile those actions against logic and open the door to them questioning the foundations of their beliefs.

    I had the same experience when re-upping my car insurance, they voluntarily provided a reassessment that dropped the price considerably. Home insurance did go up a few hundred with a different provider, but our home keeps going up in market value every year, so it's makes some sense. Insurance is a different animal compared to common goods and services though, there is no scarcity of product, it's just a simple equation of their costs vs what they charge everyone in the risk pool. I could see those companies saying "if everything else is going up in price, why not insurance too?" And then high giving each other while taking shots and throwing 100s at the strippers on their super yacht.

    Interesting to see Luke Wilson getting 7% of the vote in Pennsylvania.

    And a Senator from New Jersey was just convicted of taking bribes, and will lose his job over it. Yet Clarence gets to keep on with his role as 1 of the 9 deciders of law.

    Yikes, I can't believe they didn't get anything else for all that.

    Well I donated to her campaign during this White Guys for Harris thing. They aren't really saying anything new that I didn't know, but I hope the outcomes from this event are huge. Several big names pledged matching money, and it seems there will be more of that. I have to say, I never would have considered donating if Biden was still at the top of the ticket, Kamala is a significantly refreshing candidate compared to what we have had the last few elections. I hope she destroys Trumpism in 24, and continues to win midterms throughout her Presidency. I trust her making decisions for this country, and I think her energy will result in much more effective legislation than Biden was able to do.

    Only 58k watching, kinda low for near 100k RSVPs.

    He's a lefty, so that may be useful later when he's moved to the pen. Otherwise it's a pretty lackluster trade, unless they get Vladdy too.

    I'm sorry, it's 7:00 for the ear clipping shot, 7:30 is the center of the ear. Either way, they both show significantly more damage to the flesh than what we have seen since that day. It certainly seems like a whole bullet couldn't have done the minor damage we saw.

    This video shows what would happen if a bullet clipped your ear lobe. The shockwave going through the head is so obvious, there's no way a human would react the way Trump did. It has to be debris either from the teleprompter or a bullet fragment. Go to 7:30 for the test footage.

    Looks like it, and the ESPN predictor seems to like our chances lol...

    I think there is an awesome TV show to be made of Tim Walz and Doug Emhoff going to local diners, amusement parks, small sports events and such. They can praise the local culture and food, while talking to everyday people about their concerns and problems with genuine empathy. They could call it "US Ambassadors to America" or something and feature them as a political dynamic duo highlighting the best parts of American culture while also calling attention and action to issues voters can impact.

    Yeah, I know a few people who moved there in the last 5 years to get away from "liberal dictatorships" Saw this on Twitter, maybe it's a sign of things to come for Florida.

    I went through his twitter feed the other night, and there is so much wholesome content. I didn't see much negativity, every time he posts about politics it's always positive and highlighted great work or programs in the state. It's so surprising to see that nowadays from a politician. He's a veteran, a former teacher, union member, and a gun owner with support for sensible gun laws. I can't find anything I disagree with on his interviews or Minnesota state laws. Dude would be perfect to get some, Midwest, independents, blue collar workers and white folks that resonated with Biden in 2020 to vote blue this election. And picking him does not jeopardize and important seat that could be vulnerable next election.

    Good to see, keeping Arizona and Georgia blue make the Electoral math significantly easier. Seeing Florida on there is interesting. It still blows my mind to think Bush won it twice, Obama won Florida twice, but Trump won it twice. Maybe it continues the pattern and flips blue in 24/28.

    I never gave a shit about him, but I did listen to the first part of BtB pod on him, and it was incredibly entertaining. I still think he's a deranged asshole and possibly could swing this election Trump's way, but it's a great listen for anyone who enjoys learning about historical bastards. All the stuff about his falcon is amazing, and I can't believe he doesn't bring one with him on the campaign trail. It would go over really well with the lunatics who adore him. Here's a link to their YouTube channel:

    I think the main issue is that Biden wanted to make a talking point of being progressive with his picks and announced that he was going to select a black woman for both VP and SCOTUS well before the decision was made. Harris and Jackson were both qualified for those high ranking roles, but intending to only look for those qualities first, narrows the search in a way that is perceived as being racially biased. The proper way to do it is to simply announce the person and focus on their qualifications as to why they were chosen. If Democrats want to lead on this issue, that's how it should be handled. Keep putting qualified minorties in those positions, but treat it as normal and common and it will eventually be an afterthought.
