I clicked this link. I shuddered that there were 53 installments. The latest was in July of this year. Open the latest, can't be that many. 1325 total, this one installment has 25.
What the actual fuck is wrong with people?

This is the hard part for me. I would willingly lay down my own life, but I cannot ask those I love to risk their lives or comfort.
Though even typing that sentence, there does come a point when they would have neither and my action to defend what we believe in, may just preserve life and comfort for them.
I hope it doesn't come to having to make that choice and if the time arrives I will need to have that conversation. I don't want to watch them suffer knowing I could have done something and didn't.

In the United States we vote for people not party. Every ballot is different depending on the year and where you live.
This November I will vote for
- President/VP
- 1 of 2 US Senate seats (the other will be voted on in 2 years)
- My US House Representative
- My State House Representative
- A county board seat
- A city commissioner
- Retention of certain judges
- A school board seat
- A board member for our water district
If I choose to do so I could vote for multiple political parties across the ballot. Which is great because I might agree with my local green party of local issues but still want to vote for Democrats nationally.
I would really like to see us remove the electoral college, implement RCV or STAR. And move towards more of a proportional representation system.
Edit: Also worth mentioning that how elections are run also depends on where you live. States actually control how their citizens elect a President, I believe 2 are using RCV this year. Some states also allow local communities to choose how they elect local officials.

Eventually this will get used in Florida to make sure we worship Christopher Columbus and don't make white kids feel bad about what their great great great great grandparents did. Because somehow we can't both acknowledge the bad and not have ancestral guilt. Oh maybe it makes white kids feel guilty because their parents are still teaching them they are better than people different from them. I think they should feel guilty.

I did some digging into the shoe company when they came out and found out Wyoming is probably the LLC Capitol of the country. Apparently they have very lax registration laws and Andrew Pierce seems to do a lot of them. His company handled the shoe business and likely the watches.
I also happened upon a list of registered businesses 23Q3 file is 3258 pages. I believe this list only contains new businesses registered that quarter but am not certain.

I agree maybe about 90%. But this does have Trump worried, which means there is likely evidence that might be a bridge too far for some of his voters.
There are also many of his voters who have said they didn't like his personality but will vote for him over the Democrat. These same people likely see J6 as a hoax or blown it off proportion because if it was seditious or an actual crime he would have been arrested.
If real evidence is raised that isn't affectively countered in court that shows the conspiracy is a lie, some might be swayed.

This kind of behavior would have resulted in discussion of dementia and Alzheimers if it was a Democrat.
Kamala's hay fever did get turned into a mountain by Trump

He is an officer of the company and the majority stakeholder. He's legally required to file with the SEC. If that has happened it would be huge news on every outlet.

I have been reading different headlines all day about this. This comment and video show how bizarre the whole thing was. The headlines and short posts just seem meh. I wouldn't trust this fool to hold a bottle of water for me, much less run the country.
We're so fucked if we don't get everyone who supports Harris or supports democracy and is willing to vote for Harris to show up.

One could argue you can learn to be a statesman, but charisma is something innate.

We really do tend to vote for charisma over statesmanship, which is incredibly problematic.

Yeah, the date has significance to American Nazis
I seem to be lacking this piece of information. Why is this date significant?
> “Those people . . . ” Donald said, trailing off. “The shape they’re in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die.” > “I don’t know,” he finally said, letting out a sigh. “He doesn’t recognize you. Maybe you should just let him die and move down to Florida.” > Wait! What did he just say? That my son doesn’t recognize me? That I should just let him die? > Did he really just say that? That I should let my son die . . . so I could move down to Florida
The parties used to work together, it was unthinkable to not compromise for their constituents. Today we hear politicians talk as if it would be treason to work with members from the other side. There is no both sides in this either. One side wants to govern alone to their own interests, not those of their constituents.
