  1. Interesting article just out this afternoon about a dude who's a former marine, discharged at the lowest rank after 2 years of service, and a former cop, fired for misbehavior, who fell for a Russian woman online and moved to Russia, and who's been running a network of deepfakes on behalf of Putin's regime. https://archive.ph/dqk3H
  2. This is where the possibility that it's his 17 year old granddaughter arises. Sign of dementia that he doesn't recognize his own family. If it's at a fundraiser you'd think someone would have it on video. But "the media" wants the orange dotard to win, so...
  3. Good thing the Orangefuck won't mess with her social security then, huh? Oh wait. (free link below)
  4. The magat arrested in Tempe had a grenade launcher (and 120 guns, 250,000 rounds of ammo).
  5. Maybe it was on this board but I didn't realize the LAT publisher was an apartheidist like Musk until yesterday.
  6. For Halloween I'm gonna glue these to the 3 vote for the white supremacist guy signs in my neighborhood.
  7. I've heard it's his granddaughter. 17. But it won't make a difference.
  8. Temple popo arrested the violent magatard who shot up a couple DNC offices
  9. I didn't realize the political betting site Nate Silver shills for on behalf of Peter Thiel only accepts bets from people who reside OUTSIDE of the US. The Financial Times today has an informative article about the evidence that it's being manipulated by foreign bad actors. https://archive.ph/vweTG Now we just need someone to dig into why 538 is manipulating data to skew the polling average in favor of a diabetes ridden fascist with Alzheimer's.
  10. One October surprise: And another - the Dotard "tax cut" is actually a tax increase for everyone but the top 5%
  11. Of the 6 top newspapers in Texas, you might be wondering how many have endorsed Allred over the state's sitting Senator?
  12. "He's promising corruption."
  13. What you may not understand is -- besides his stated giveaways with tax cuts -- his policies will fuck the economy hard, kill residential real estate values, and significantly increase inflation. And that's just a start. If that somehow helps your bank account, then I guess you're bullet proof.

  15. Jfc, this thread took a particularly annoying turn. The NY Times, The WaPo. That's where Administrations officially leak their shit. Not to the "Middle East Spectator," a pro-Iranian Telegram channel.
  16. Dude - the Biden administration didn't leak the document. End of statement. Pay attention. If they had leaked it, it wouldn't have been to some pro-Iran Telegram account administrator. Pull your head out of your ass.
  17. That Nate Cohn article was such a worthless mess. It made me dumber, if that's even possible.
  18. Let's face it. Unless you're one of his cronies or have a hook-up, if he wins it's bad for every American. Even if they're a white supremacist. We'd all be fucked by his policies and incompetence, just like last time, only this time it'll be much worse because they actually have a plan and people with experience to enact it.
  19. he's on fire Gov. Walz: Trump went to a McDonald’s and dressed up as the drive thru worker. He mixed up his weekends and thought that it was Halloween already. He's been forgetting things lately as you might have noticed. He looks much more like Ronald McDonald than the clown that he actually is. And Ronald wears less make-up.
  20. bluesky video won't embed here (AHEM!) so you'll just have to use your imagination
  21. Early voting definitely tells you about expected OVERALL turnout. Correct me if I'm wrong but there's a proven correlation between the two. In concert with other statistics like new registrations, once you have enough data, I begin to form my own opinions. I like what I'm seeing in GA and PA. In AZ there's not enough data.
  22. That article leaves out and minimizes certain information to tell the story it wants to about a supposedly close horse race. Only 20 percent of 2020 mail-ins have been counted in AZ while in PA it's over 40% of 2020's total.

  24. One of the other passengers, from Florida, mentioned she preferred her cruise on Oceania over the cruise we were on. Everyone had their own favorites, including some who'd been on a ton of Sliverseas cruises. I didn't hear of anyone else onboard who was a first-time cruiser. A handful of other passengers had been on the ship for about 6 months. I can't fathom. The Silver Nova holds ~700 passengers, so not huge. Of the 5 at-sea days, there was only 1 sunny pool day as it was October, but it was also quite humid, so I didn't stay long. Also hanging out at a pool with a bunch of 70 and 80 year olds didn't entice. On the cooler days it was nice to be outdoors and listen to music or read. There was a ton of space, and the pool is supposedly one of the highlights of the SN because every lounger offers an ocean view. As my wife put it, the experience was underwhelming. If we wanted to eat filet mignon or pizza or grilled fish every night and dine al fresco on a beautiful, heated, wind-protected top deck in the middle of the ocean, we could have. But we were in Japan and as it was when we visited China and SE Asia, experiencing the country as some of the locals do -- especially the food -- is ordinarily a top priority. Except for the port where we stayed for 2 full days, we only got a glimmer of the different cities - we extended out own visit to see Tokyo and Kyoto more in-depth and that was generally the best part of the trip. We got talked into going on this cruise and I'm challenged to see a reason to try again.
