I can easily see where things get out of hand without much organization. I hate contemplating it, so I'll avoid detailing the chain of events.

Well, Trump let us know Jack Nicholson had a big dick without wasting tax payer money, so I guess that's something. -

Is it to early to say Donald Trump didn’t kill himself? -

He won't be alive that long either way. Look at how worn down he is from this race. He's being used as a battering ram against the establishment, and he's physically and mentally buckling with each push. Others have said it before, but damn if Ygifs won't prove to be right. The scary part of that is that if he assumes the presidency, it's the darker/smarter forces that he's a figurehead for that will be running things. -

I get the frustration, but not all are unreachable. You've just quit trying. You have long viewed anyone who casts an R ballot as part of a homogenous group of lost souls. Through your lens of fear and anger. Just like a racist views all blacks through a lens of fear and anger. Some (most?) are exactly as you depict. Some are misinformed and open to discussion. And some have been cut off from any path away from the cult by people like you. I'm interested in reaching the latter two, as that has the hope to effect change and make my children's world a better place. When you no longer judge individuals on their own merits and simply judge them by their membership to group X, you've become exactly what you abhor. As a former Republican, you no doubt know people in the real world who have yet to migrate to your conclusions. I would encourage you to reach out to them in the weeks leading up to Election Day. -

I am not saying anyone's views shouldn't be challenged, but when your views are challenged by twenty other posters in the time it took to take a good shit, why bother? Only bots and trolls can handle the firehose. Very little genuine discourse of opposing views happens here. If we want to genuinely engage with others of opposing views, come to an understanding and perhaps even change some minds, we would be much better off engaging and challenging the people we know in our proximal reality. The neighbor with the Trump sign in their yard, the friend you had silenced on social media, the MAGA family member who you dread seeing at Thanksgiving. -

Well, as someone who occasionally posts against the grain here, it can feel pretty pointless. You can't finish a reply before there are 10+ more posts calling you a dumbass. I applaud @Stros121 for giving it a go yesterday, but I can't blame him or anyone else for tapping out as a CR tackling dummy. It's fucking exhausting and ultimately pretty pointless. <Goredho readies himself for the 10+ posts calling him a dumbass> -

I think this makes a lot of sense. There are no new votes for Trump to tap into. The strategy is to get out as much of the base as possible, demoralize opposition voters and seed doubt in the election outcome to try to take the presidency through the courts. Trump Has Given Up Persuading Undecided Voters October 23, 2024 at 9:04 am EDT By Taegan Goddard113 Comments It’s quite telling that, in recent weeks, Donald Trump has been canceling scheduled mainstream media appearances. Some reports suggest “exhaustion” as the cause. But it could also be that his campaign is trying to avoid giving Kamala Harris more material to use against him. There’s a reason Harris encourages people to watch a Trump rally and plays clips of him at her own events. Trump isn’t presenting himself well—especially to undecided voters. From Vanity Fair: How did Donald Trump spend one of his last weekends before November 5? Did he drill down on policy, finally explaining to voters how he plans to make childcare affordable? Did he apologize to the various minority groups he’s said should have their heads “examined” for supporting Kamala Harris? Did he cogently and convincingly lay out the case for why he deserves a second term in the White House? Not exactly! Instead, he talked about the size of a famous golfer’s penis, pretended to be a fast-food worker at a closed McDonald’s, and claimed every single goose in Springfield, Ohio, has gone missing. Trump certainly knows how to grab the media’s attention with these stunts, tapping into his entertainer instincts. However, none of this seems to be swaying undecided voters in his favor. https://politicalwire.com/2024/10/23/trump-has-given-up-persuading-undecided-voters/ -

Gave some rep for elucidating your criteria. Economy is #1, so are you concerned about tariff effects on the economy that sources overseas? What about the greater number of economists who say that what plans Trump has elucidated will hurt the economy? You want a secure border, but the candidate you are voting for engineered the defeat of a bipartisan border security bill for political purposes. He was criticized by members of his own party for it. How does this play into your decision making? Texas, when left to run its own education system, arbitrarily capped special Ed services at 8.5% vs keeping it need-based. When it was need-based in Texas, it was aligned with the national average of 14.5%. This was done by the TEA without a public notice or referendum. In practice, if you ranked students from most to least in need, the students between 8.5% and 14.5% in need of services got nothing. The Houston chronicle did an expose about it that led to the DOE suing the TEA and Texas dropping the cap. You can read it here. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/denied-how-texas-drives-thousands-of-children-9215465.php. Parents of kids who were denied services view this with great relief. Do you feel this is a case of the federal government overstepping it’s bounds? Thanks for engaging.- 366 replies

All the gamblers I know, and I know a lot, skew hard right. It’s illegal most places, so gamblers are inherently libertarian. You can’t use a pool of gamblers to predict an election. It’s classic sample bias. -

I dunno, I think he’s the sHamburglar. -
49 passes were attempted, so 57% of the time when Ewers or Manning dropped back, they had someone in their face disrupting their progression and throws. Combine that with a 1.1 yard per rush average, and you get about the worst possible conditions for a QB to look worth a shit under. I am not saying Ewers doesn’t have work to do or limitations to mitigate, but I don’t think you can give anyone on offense a true grade for last night other than offensive line.
