"We've got these new amazing F-5s too, folks. They're lightning fast. They tell me the plane is there, it disappears for a second, and then appears again further in the sky. It's like they refresh. There's a button you push in the cockpit and - boom - the plane refreshes. And they push the button a lot."

Dude the Lightning is a P-38, the lightning 2 is the F-35  ;)

Sega Rally on Dreamcast was the tits. 

I still have working OG Nintendo, N64, Dreamcast, GameCube, Wii, PS1-5, and OG Xbox. Shit, I need to figure out how to set them all up so my kids can get as addicted as I was to the epic games of yesteryear. Thanks for reminding me Charlie big head!

What happened to change the betting markets?   It’s been 52/48ish Harris for a couple weeks now, now it’s dead even with Trump leading in several gambling sights over night

What’s hard to understand that trump is longer shot to win now and it’s getting more action because you can likely win more if he does somehow win? Trying to correlate an election winner to gamblings odds and movement is not smart

It’s as accurate barometer as most the polls.   Should people not post polls?

Maga folks dumping money in, changing the percentages.  Instead of sending in their tithes to whatever Trump is asking for, they are dumping it in online betting parlors to move him ahead of Harris.  They probably think it's a poll they can donate to to give him a better polling average.

Damn, gotta give credit where credit is due. A Republican, in Parker County no less, with a reasoned and well written dismissal of falsehoods regarding supposed fraud. Imagine if more Republicans would come forward and debunk these stupid rumors.

I don’t think you understand how gambling works. While I won’t claim that polls are accurate, betting markets have zero correlation to polls. People placing bets /= a barometer.

People who do this are overwhelmingly Republican, and vibes were REALLY bad in that side of the world for the past few weeks.  Nothing has really changed, other than humans tend to find ways to rationalize away bad news when exposed to it for long enough.

The betting favorite has won every election since they started tracking it, with 2 exceptions Hoover and Trump.

You are confusing things like PredictIt with actual betting odds.   While yes that average includes it, not all of those sites are “markets” they are straight up wagering lines

Going into Election Day.

And pretty much every election since back in Hoover's day most people knew who was going to win by election day.  JFK, Dubya and Dotard elections were too close to call up until election day, but those are the exceptions.

And yeah, take it to the gambling board or something.  It's stupid.

Did something change and Texas now has a DMV and that’s where you go to get a license?

Does Kamala have any policies out yet?

What was your previous handle?

This sock doesn't have much HP. It won't take 600 this time. 

But, I'll give you a chance. Go find @immamac thread of highly moderated discussion of why you want to vote GOP. It's already dropping down the list because y'all are too ashamed to actually admit to the reasons why.

I doubt you'll do it. But, there's your fr.ee forum. A safe place to explore your inner political self and share these things.

The question you ask here is not in good faith. You don't want to discuss policy. Tahoe at least gave a drive by of bullshit and would run off without defending it. 

You're just low effort trolling. So take your neg and go find some more HP somewhere or you might have to get out another sock.

Doesn’t really matter, the lie is already halfway around the world by that point.

Drunk-ass Maria Bartiromo, so there’s nothing to it and it’s wasting more money. 

So Bartoromo tweeted some shit about "a friend" going to  the DMV in some Texas shithole, and seeing a crowd of Mexicans across the street being registered to vote.  The local GOP party chair hauled ass down there, and found nothing, and reported that the story was complete bullshit.  So, it checks out that Paxton would piss away some of y'all's money on this fool's errand that's already been shown to be a fabrication from a loon.

Sounds like she won't be endorsing.

 

 

She was talking about speaking to the terror plot at her Vienna show. She didn't want to provoke more copycats for the London shows. Instead her team worked with British authorities to ensure the shows in London would be safe for everyone. She wasn't going to play the shows unless she could be assured the shows would be safe. She and her team were satisfied so the shows went on as scheduled. I do think it might give her pause but she's endorsed Biden before and she has to answer the AI bullshit Trump pulled. It won't be this week though.

F-32s never made it past concept and that concept lost out to Lockhead's F-35 concept. Also, it's hideous. Evidence #34,548,193 that he knows shit all about shit all.

Ugly ass fat chin on that thing.  And on the F-32 as well.

Sorry for quoting myself, but it's pretty similar to Joe Rogan having a "friend" that's a schoolteacher in CA, and they keep a litterbox in the classroom for kids to shit in.

Good lord, is that website from 1993?

To be fair, the actual DNC site doesn't have it up yet.

All the non cultists are exhausted by the bullshit

 

Also Parker County is one of the key places that vouchers are really going to hurt

Hmmm.  Interesting.

I saw it for the first time a couple of days ago.  Smoke=fire when speaking of Trump, though.
