  1. Yeah, I'm not really sold that trying to act normal is the way to go for the Democrats. I'd like to see them test the water with bat shit crazy. Put stuff out there like, "our new policy will be to eat the billionaires!" When the Fox News talking heads clutch their pearls over this, just double down. "We are not joking. We will give every billionaire a choice to donate their wealth or be entered in the Eat My Ass lottery. The winner will be humanely euthanized, cured, smoked and sold in travel size packs of jerky at Love's Travel Centers across the country." "We are overjoyed to see Elon plumping up, go to Democrats.org to vote for your favorite billionaire flavors to rub on his ass. We have teriyaki, cajun, honey bourbon and many others!"
  2. In case anyone missed it, in response to the Salvadoran man that ICE admits was deported by mistake, our VP chimed in with lies and deflection: https://www.newsweek.com/jd-vance-ice-error-man-deported-2053429 The guy was never charged with any crime, let alone convicted of being a gang member. An immigration judge determined he would face threats from gangs if deported to El Salvador.
  3. I've thought about running a thought experiment with some family members. I'd like them to finish the sentence, "We know we're not witnessing the rise of an authoritarian regime in the United States because if we were we would see ________." I'm a little scared of what their answers could be.
  4. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/nyregion/columbia-student-ice-suit-yunseo-chung.html?unlocked_article_code=1.6U4.uZAk.kerz8O4-LVCG&referringSource=articleShare The timeline in her complaint is pretty wild. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.639187/gov.uscourts.nysd.639187.1.0.pdf
  5. The gal in the Texas Monthly article is also a Longhorn.
  6. Of the shitty things Paxton has done, this one probably deserves a wait and see approach. If she really was performing abortions without a medical license, then that shouldn't be happening (regardless of any abortion ban) and it would be monumentally stupid on the accused's part.
  7. Man, this one bugs the hell out of me because the story of the Navajo code talkers is the perfect illustration of why diversity matters. Diversity builds resilience. Homogeneity is often going to be more efficient, but it creates brittle systems and organizations. And we often can't predict the ways in which resilience will matter. This is the exact reason we should expect our institutions to intentionally cultivate diversity.
  8. What's the EV total at now? You have a link to the data?
  9. Sure, it all comes down to turnout. FYI, I plugged in your updated EV number (1,688,551) and went with your assumption of 150K more dropping on Monday. If PA hits 2020 turnout with those numbers and you assume the Marist poll is accurate, Harris would win by 6K votes.
  10. Those numbers aren't that reassuring. There have been 1,625K votes so far in Pennsylvania. 5,300K votes on election day would match 2020 total turnout (6.9M). If we apply those ratios from the Marist poll to those turnout numbers, Trump wins by <100K votes. 😰
  11. You keep deflecting on this. Do you believe there is widespread voting by non-citizens?

  13. Kinda surprised we haven't seen anyone put out "Texas two step" ads pushing this idea yet. Step 1, kick Cruz to the curb in 2024. Step 2, elect a real Texan in 2030.

  15. How did that double fumble translate to a new first down for USC? Is that right?
  16. Ha, Reince Priebus being taught how to pronounce Kamala live on ABC. He got it right the last time.
  17. How do those polls average to Trump +2.1 when not a single one is greater than Trump +2?
  18. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what database are they working from? Wouldn't newly registered voters be on the voter rolls?
  19. Here's a summary of what's going on at the UN (https://www.un.org/en/un-chronicle/voices-peace-crucial-role-victims-terrorism-peace-advocates-and-educators) So first, this year's commemoration has a theme focused on peace advocates and educators. It doesn't sound like the event was designed around capturing every single instance of terrorism in the world. Second, the exhibit in that video is called the the "Memories" exhibition. It was launched in 2022 and highlights stories of 22 victims. It predates Oct 7th and, again, wasn't intended to chronicle every act of terrorism. The most recent victim in the exhibit is from 2019.
  20. I also don't see anyone talking about the proposal to take away tax incentives for corporate investors buying up swaths of single family homes. I've thought for a while that this needs to be looked at as one contributing factor in rising home prices. Curious if anyone's seen much analysis on what's being proposed. https://qz.com/harris-campaign-housing-rental-costs-real-estate-1851624062
  21. Who says you don't qualify as a business owner? I've opened multiple business cards (for points) but never ran much of a business. If you're ever going to resell stuff on eBay or start an Etsy store or just start a hobby that might become a business, it makes sense to keep those expenses separate. Credit card companies don't care other than making sure you have sufficient income if business revenue is small.
  22. No kidnapping. The guy stopped because the kids were throwing stuff at this vehicle. https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/dallas-police-investigate-alleged-attempted-kidnapping-neighbors-believe-it-was-something-else/
  23. Guy in the white hat at 0:17 is feeling very uncomfortable.
  24. It was store bought. So, doubtful but maybe? Which is the same thing on said about the green onions.
  25. Sliced sausage and a smoked turkey leg. Besides meat...onion, celery, bell pepper, garlic, chicken stock, seasonings. Also fresh green onions on top, which I'm now suspicious of.
