No one claimed white people were short on idiots.

I’d be happier if there and actual identity control system in our credit system. Identity theft is stupidly difficult to clean up.
Now try to get them to pass a minimum age for marriage.
For the most part, the left would absolutely have someone executed for treason. The left is loyal to ideals, not people. It wouldn’t matter if it were Biden or Trump.
The authoririan left, who might have a problem if it were ‘their guy’ don’t have any loyalty to Biden, because he’s not a communist or populist leader.
I’m betting garbage trucks actually end up being first. A half dozen trucks per human monitor sitting back at the station, with two guys in a pickup to run out to any problems.
If not for Reagan, then Newt never would have been elected. Id not for Nixon, then Reagan never would have been elected.
It a continuous line of fail that goes back to the founding of the country.
Overall the efforts never stopped, specific ops tend to get aged out on a regular basis. There’s always something, it’s just usually someone else after a few months.
The problem is that for too many years everyone in power only sees GDP as a measurement of a happy population. Because the two do correlate, a lot. We’re finally reaching the end of that correlation, which is usually when the rich take their profits and leave. As in leave everyone to die, after starting a war and taking all the resources.
It doesn’t have to end that way, but it will.
Food and fuel are both included in CPI, they’re left out of core CPI because they’re noisy. Food CPI alone for the past year is at 2.2, and gasoline is at 1.3.
Also for the latest release, core CPI is 3.8, while including food and fuel it’s only 3.5. Because the cost of fuel oil and utility gas were both over 3 percent negative.
Gotta be careful with polling results. By necessity they’re weighted to match the most recent turn out demographics. Which is usually just a bit of an error range. With issues like abortion and weed, the younger vote changes a lot more than the polling algorithm. So the error bars are huge, and adjustments to add accuracy are most likely to just wrong. It’s one of the two major reasons for upsets at the ballot box. The other being the Bradley effect, which could also be very much in play the other direction.
Consider that the 7% lead Trump has right now is the average from two polls with less than a 4% error, that were 5% apart from each other. So at least one of them is just blatantly wrong, and really the odds are it’s both.
It’s entirely rational when you’re building a cult, to only bring in the most loyal to your control structure.
What I said is what got Clinton, Obama, and Biden elected. Not saying it’s a great thing, it’s just reality. Neither party has the base to win on their own, the GoP is a lot closer to being able to do it due to voter turn out rates. So they either chase the middle, or demonize their opponent to get more of their base off the couch.
Why the fuck do we always aim for “slightly better than the Republicans”?
Two party voting. In order to win, you have to get voters that are as close to your opponent as possible, without your base staying home in protest. Having a more objectionable opponent just means you can ignore your own base even more, because they’re not going to stay home when that means the other asshole might win.
She could save us all a lot of time if she just told us what cheating exactly would be prosecuted. That way we’ll know what to indict her and Trump for.
Primaries are the place for protest votes. You want to send a message, send it now in the primary.
Come general election, it’s time to shut up and protect the country.
He only has to put up the money if he wants to pause judgement during the appeal. He’s going to refuse to pay until the appeal fails, then appeal it again, daring the AG to seize his companies.
She can’t pardon the state crimes. That would take a governor.
They broke into shit that had already been broken in to, and removed an intrusion. That’s literally their job.
And if leading a riot into the capital to overturn an election counts as insurrection, then anyone could be taken off the ballet!
That’s ok, I describe conservative as pig fucker.
If we’re just making up meanings for words, they may as well be more descriptive.
