Re: Evil Rich People

There’s going to be a not-insignificant number of people - thousands? tens of thousands? more? - who will go bankrupt (which means we all pay) over this devotion.

Re: Charges

^^^^^^ i think there is a small, but not insignificant number of moderates and independents that just won’t vote for a convicted felon I think there’s also a LOT of social (and family) pressure on boomers and Xers to dump Trump. I could absolutely see people in that cohort use these “fake Biden pro...

Re: 2024

Could be seeing this through anti-orange glasses, but I think Biden will get a hell of a lot more of that 6.8% than Trump will get of Haley’s 16.5%.

Re: Charges

I wonder if a guilty verdict would do damage at the ballot box. It obviously should! But with this candidate in particular, it wouldn’t be the first time some bombshell that would otherwise end anyone else’s political career has little or even reverse effect It won't hurt him with his cult, I mean,...

Re: Charges

Does anyone actually care that he paid a pornstar hush money to keep quiet they had sex? Seems pretty par for the course for famous people. Everything requires an NDA it seems.

Re: Charges

It's not nearly the worst thing he did during his presidency ( tried to overthrow the Democracy ) but whatever sticks. The issue of course is that he did this to win the presidency in the first place. Was the underlying act itself that big of a deal? Suppose that’s between people and their god(s). ...

I thought it was very odd that Trump posted the other day that this trial is in fact about election interference. Not “hush money.” Sort of undercuts the eventual downplaying he will do, of a conviction on election interference.

Re: Automobiles

I'm not sure Tesla's target market is "primarily environmentally friendly progressive types."

I think it's more like "primarily the type who virtue-signals being the environmentally friendly progressive type."

Re: Charges

Fairly clear that Trump is purposefully violating his gag order to draw sanctions, which he will then immediately appeal as unconstitutional to the federal courts.

Just burn the rube money, man. Burn it all.

There's been quite a few studies done in different countries tries all showing a statistically significant increase in cancers after the pandemic, that coincide with the large scale use of the mrna covid vaccines.

I have been talking to a developer recently with this in mind. His idea is to burn every city/town in Michigan to the ground and remove the current inhabitants. With some real thought given to amenities and optimizing recreational opportunities it could become a place that wealthy Californians woul...

All of the metrics say that Garcia is somewhere between above-average and elite in the field. His defense is not within a time zone of the things I worry about on this team.

I'm very happy with how things are going ... but the whole thing (moving ahead) comes down to getting WAY more starts from six starters than can reasonably be expected. So I'm keeping my expectations in check.
