Re: Donald Trump in Hot Water

The sentencing of the felonious president is delayed indefinitely, and seemingly infinitely. The 34 convictions may well be tossed as well, as I suspect the prosecutors and judge are living in terror of payback. Gutless. They should have the courage to do their job. But I guess who can have faith t...

I realized something pretty profound, at least to me personally, in the aftermath of this election. I have a job where I am at a computer that's online all day and while my work is challenging and time consuming, it does also afford me plenty of opportunities to read the news (or do word puzzles, o...

She'll win and it won't be as close as the polls say.

I'll be completely out of pocket until after the polls close in California, so that'll be interesting.

Re: 2024 Presidential Election - Take II

Well, that's a very specific Iowa poll. Iowa hasn't been polled much since it's not a swing state. But in June in the same poll, Trump was beating Biden by 18 points.

Re: 2024 Presidential Election - Take II

Iowa went hard Christian right in the last decade or two. It's one of the whitest places in America, a place where Trump's white grievance has found fertile ground. If it really goes to Kamala, that's an earthquake. Trump won it by 9 against Hillary and 7 against Biden.

I think they were trying to convey the message that your vote is private, but didn't realize how bad it sounded. Like I said, you had a choice of messages and I chose another one. 500 Pennsylvania voters will be grateful I did.

This is abuser talk. And women can recognize it.

Re: Were we lucky in 2024?

I think one of the differences with the new regime is that it is willing to move on from players when it stopped working. The old regime, I suspect, would have stuck with the Joey Wendells and Adrian Housers all year. I don't think that's luck, but rather good general managing. This is exactly righ...
