Drill baby drill - domestic oil production in the US has been steadily increasing since 2008. It's not a D vs R thing, both parties want to appease the energy independence crowd.
I'm sorry. Am I to understand that when you have a boner you like to imagine punching the shit out of Tom Bishop? That's disgusting.

Plus oil companies ultimately control how much oil to pump.  All the president can do is lease more land oil companies will take decades to do exploratory drilling.

Okay.  So I've criticized Trump's campaign for being light on policy but it looks like I'm going to have to eat my words.  They're really pushing a strong closing message and have upped their game and setout some well defined policy goals.

1.  Crash the economy.  That's a tall order but Elon Musk says he's up to it.
2.  Get rid of fluoride in water.  No word on chemtrails yet.
3.  Ban vaccines.
4.  A 20% import tax on everything.
5.  Ending Obamacare.
6.  Deport 20 million brown people.
7.  Imprison his political adversaries.

Your move KHive.

You missed, withdraw from Nato.   Stop aid to Ukraine.  Suck up to Putin.

Hitler God comparison,  not Trump.  Trump isn't Hitler.  He's, at best, a Hitler wanna-be but lacks the charisma, vocabulary, and skill to do it.  He does, however, blame all the problems of the country on immigrants and the other political parties, so there's that.

And since your entire argument requires me to have compared Trump to Hitler in intention, please redo your post.


Also, please show me where congress has the authority to challenge a state's authentication.  Because if you REALLY wanna go there, Kamala is now Pence and... Well... Whats stopping her from not certifying the election if she loses?  The same thing that Trump said Pence could do?

You did a Trump:Jesus::Hitler:God analogy.  In such an analogy we create links based on similar patterns. For example, if I said "complete the analogy:  Jesus:God::Trump:???" and you said the link was that Jesus is God's son, and the last word was Hitler, you're basically saying that Trump is Hitler's son.  You don't do that sort of link without an implied connection between all four.

So let's look at what sort of link you can make with Trump:Jesus::Hitler:God comparison.  Well, the most obvious one is the lesser:greater::lesser:greater comparison. If Hitler is a little killer, God kills everyone. If Jesus is a great Savior, Trump only helps out one country. I suppose that's flattery?

Basically, you screwed it up.

As for fluoride in the water, fluoride is not a natural chemical for the strengthening of teeth. If we wanted to strengthen our teeth, calcium would be the go to.  Maybe you wanna brush with fluoride toothpaste, maybe you don't. But you don't swallow toothpaste, and there's a good reason for that.

Quote
Risks
Excessive exposure to fluoride has been linked to a number of health issues.
Dental fluorosis
Exposure to high concentrations of fluoride during childhood, when teeth are developing, can result in mild dental fluorosis. There will be tiny white streaks or specks in the enamel of the tooth.
Skeletal fluorosis
Excess exposure to fluoride can lead to a bone disease known as skeletal fluorosis. Over many years, this can result in pain and damage to bones and joints.
The bones may become hardened and less elastic, increasing the risk of fractures. If the bones thicken and bone tissue accumulates, this can contribute to impaired joint mobility.
Thyroid problems
In some cases, excess fluoride can damage the parathyroid gland. This can result in hyperparathyroidism, which involves uncontrolled secretion of parathyroid hormones.
This can result in a depletion of calcium in bone structures and higher-than-normal concentrations of calcium in the blood.
Lower calcium concentrations in bones make them more susceptible to fractures.
Neurological problems
In 2017, a report was published suggesting that exposure to fluoride before birth could lead toTrusted Source poorer cognitive outcomes in the future.
The researchers measured fluoride levels in 299 women during pregnancy and in their children between the ages of 6 and 12 years. They tested cognitive ability at the ages of 4 years and between 6 and 12 years. Higher levels of fluoride were associated with lower scores on IQ tests.


As for imprisoning his political adversaries, haven't they been trying to do this to him? But no, I don't think he will imprison people just for being his adversaries. Criminals on the other hand...

You missed one.
10. Make being homeless illegal and send people to tent cities, psych wards, or prisons based on their choice.

I'm voting for this man. Not despite this, I approve of this idea.
I could meet a hot bipolar lady and have loads of weird children.

Probably because despite all their supposed love for Muslims, the woke left actually hates them as badly as the right.

Scratch a tolerant leftist, you get a bigot and a hypocrite. As shown here.

The prediction is that with 10-15% of republicans voting for Harris,  that will flip Florida and Texas,  Not sure about Pennslyvania.

In other news, some MAGA nutter is promising to castrate himself on camera if Iowa flips blue.   Now, that's commitment.  The bad news ( for him ) is that's prompted a surge in Harris votes.  :)

Texas is especially bad for false hope.  For some reason they count the cities first so it always looks like a blue wave but then everywhere else gets counted and it always stays red.

"False hope." No that's called the real count.

What happens in Virginia is that they count the small towns (which are the majority of the state) first, then they have like 97% of the count and somehow mysteriously the state turns blue.



If voting were really fair, they would count the number of districts won, and states that look like this would always turn red. Guess what? California is also mostly red.

The reason you're so insistent on turning red states blue (dude, just move to a blue state!) is because you actually know that Democrats cannot win without cheating. It irks you, and so you want to pull down others to your level.

Seriously, if you built a liberal island, I would 100% support whatever you wanted to do. Republicans don't go out of their way to mess with liberals. Unlike Muslims and liberals, they don't hunt down their opponents. The Muslims chased the Zoroastrians from Persia (Iran) all the way to the outskirts of India. You can't tolerate that there is a state with no income tax, the right to blow people you disagree with up with a gun, and a strong business sector. 

My small town was minding its own business, and NoVA came along with its stupid COVID regulations. Had government followed Trump's advice, everyone could wear a mask or not for your nonexistent disease. They could take medicine or not. Instead, the nearby town lost its supermarket, we lost our pharmacy, and our town is plagued by constant construction expenses (repaving the same damned robe or putting up yet another cell tower), to say nothing of obnoxious lights right out of my window.

You have the right to do whatever you want among your own people, but when you get to trying to oppress me, I take issue.

Winner takes all is a sucky law. So is the idea of majority rule. If 51% of people like something, 49% are very unhappy.

There is no reason why states that are blue couldn't be run by Kamala, and states that are red are run by Trump. But I know that you couldn't leave people alone. Bullies only respond to being stood up to, or by being bullied by other bullies.

So here's the deal. On the very very narrow chance that liberals understand that voting for Trump is actually in their best interest (two years, and he can't run again, whereas the more he is opposed, the more his opponents are exposed), we can avoid a second Civil War (from infighting over the election) or a second Revolutionary War (America has a high probability of being taken over by China, Mexico, or one of the Middle East countries, and will probably need to re-earn its independence) or a government of complete tyranny.

Read a history book. Or the Bible. Inviting foreigners and their gods never worked for the Jews, it didn't work for the Romans, and it didn't work for England. Cheating on elections using foreigners just makes it so they are in your country. How you gonna get them to leave?

Drill baby drill - domestic oil production in the US has been steadily increasing since 2008. It's not a D vs R thing, both parties want to appease the energy independence crowd.

Transitioning away from fossil fuels is a multi decade task.  You can’t just turn it off, particularly when Russia is now a no go for western oil and gas.

But Biden’s administration has poured investment in renewable energy and other low carbon technologies.  I think I read they granted the minimum number of new exploration licenses they could get away with under the compromise for the inflation reduction act.

Trump on the other hand has promised to deregulate oil and gas,  as well as other environmental protections, and stop the push towards alternative energy.  The fossil fuel lobby gave a lot of cash to his campaign for a carte blanche expansion.

He also says he will pull out of the Paris agreement, which would set back the international process massively.  If the world’s No 2 contributer to climate change decides they can’t be fucked with it any more, many smaller countries could follow.  Hopefully the whole thing wouldn’t completely unravel.

So have you decided yet?

Yep, Texas is deep red, seems unlikely to flip.   What the commentator was pointing out is the 10-15% of republicans who voted Harris,  that would be enough to at least kick Cancun Ted to the curb.

One can only hope.  LOL

The sort who doesn’t respect democracy, only “winning”.  The sort who has already given a big fuck you to the American people by trying to cling on to power after being voted out and will absolutely try to do the same again.

Even if Trump decides not to run a fourth time, he’ll pass the reins onto a successor, possibly Don Jnr.  It will be almost certainly be Trump’s endorsement that decides the next Republican pick, and it’s not clear yet what measures they could put in place to ensure it happens.  It’s not the Republican Party anymore, just the Trump party.

Trump’s supporters have been primed to believe the only possible way Trump could lose is if the Democrats cheat.  Loyalists have already launched a bunch of legal actions of alleged fraud based on fuck all evidence.  All set up for the inevitable “stolen election” round 2 if he loses, or “fixing” the system if he wins.

Nobody believes in a Kamala Harris victory except the very fearful. Oh yeah, and the useful idiot trained dogs who think they gonna get lots of rewards at the end.

I don't mean this in a cocky "I know we're going to win" thing. She still can cheat.

But an election is about more than who won the polls. It's about hearts and minds. And as we saw a behind-the-scenes around what was it Obama or so? Yeah, there kinda a corrupt corporate oligarchy who gets to decide. As far as I know, they lean Marxist but are also pro-earning money. The shadow elite lizard people probably compete with them  ^-^ but at the end of the day, they want to make money. While it's nice to have other people's money,

if there's any chance that the person talking about socialism actually means it (i.e. not just a wealth distribution system that conveniently slaps the hands of rich merchants and bankers, but actually tries to heavily tax everyone including them), they balk.

Dumping money into an issue that doesn't work or not yet anyway, doesn't automatically make it work.

In any technology, there are the early adopters, and then tjoze who wait until kinks are sorted out.

Until cars stop exploding, they make a key fob that always stays online for keyless ignition (or continues to have the panel that you can pull off when it does fail for the manual override), and it doesn't take actual hours at a gas station,   money isn't really enough.
It's like my in-law with cancer. She had money enough to buy the exotic medicines thanks to a judge's salary, and could buy second homes, about five cars, or help out the poor (and she did help the poor with her business, unlike most leftists). But money can't buy a cure that isn't even there.

No amount of money can make a technology that isn't invented yet (electric cars that charge quickly without stress on the vehicle) happen. Like if someone paid me a billion to have a game done. Raising it to multi-billion or trillion wouldn't make it done tomorrow.

So you ARE being cocky because the ONLY way, in your mind, Trump loses is if Kamala cheats.  (Or in other words, I can't lose)

Why is it that the only possible way you lose is if the other side cheated?  How is it you are close minded as to think Trump is some kind of God that most of America thanks for the opportunity to suck him off?  Most of America doesn't like him.  Some tolerate him for the sake of party but Trump only has a 30% fan base. 

Trump had 4 years to prove the election was stolen in court but so far, he hasn't.  His evidence was flimsy or didn't exist.  Or was contaminated by his own people trying to prove something and finding nothing they could use.

He lost.  Hell, he didn't even win the popular vote in the election he did win and he STILL claimed Democrats cheated.
Then, WHILE PRESIDENT, couldn't secure the election to make it free and fair then bitched it was rigged in... On right, early 2020.

The man has claimed the last 3 elections were rigged, one he won, and one he was president for.  All of which he claimed prior to the election starting.


But if all you need as proof of rigging is Trump saying it before it happens, then you are brainwashed.

You can't tolerate that there is a state with no income tax, the right to blow people you disagree with up with a gun, and a strong business sector. 

My small town was minding its own business, and NoVA came along with its stupid COVID regulations. Had government followed Trump's advice, everyone could wear a mask or not for your nonexistent disease. They could take medicine or not. Instead, the nearby town lost its supermarket, we lost our pharmacy, and our town is plagued by constant construction expenses (repaving the same damned robe or putting up yet another cell tower), to say nothing of obnoxious lights right out of my window.

You have the right to do whatever you want among your own people, but when you get to trying to oppress me, I take issue.

Winner takes all is a sucky law. So is the idea of majority rule. If 51% of people like something, 49% are very unhappy.

There is no reason why states that are blue couldn't be run by Kamala, and states that are red are run by Trump. But I know that you couldn't leave people alone. Bullies only respond to being stood up to, or by being bullied by other bullies.

So here's the deal. On the very very narrow chance that liberals understand that voting for Trump is actually in their best interest (two years, and he can't run again, whereas the more he is opposed, the more his opponents are exposed), we can avoid a second Civil War (from infighting over the election) or a second Revolutionary War (America has a high probability of being taken over by China, Mexico, or one of the Middle East countries, and will probably need to re-earn its independence) or a government of complete tyranny.

Read a history book. Or the Bible. Inviting foreigners and their gods never worked for the Jews, it didn't work for the Romans, and it didn't work for England. Cheating on elections using foreigners just makes it so they are in your country. How you gonna get them to leave?

You misunderstand me.  I was only commenting on the peculiar ways the vote results unfold in certain states.

Gird your loins, the polls are open.

Sphincters and blood pressure are set to maximum!

Could be a long time to clench, but when can we expect the first indicators of how it’s going?  I know it can drag on for days over there.

7pm ET.  Closer races take longer to count.  Usually the same night.  Probably not longer than a week.

I keep seeing that wherever I look.  But polls closing isn’t the when results come in, is it?

Where I am, it’s all over by the wee hours of the morning.  I guess it’s similar unless it’s super close?  Not counting bullshit claims.

Oh yeah, unless it's too close to know for certain, they'll be counting until tomorrow afternoon.  If it IS too close to know, they won't know til Friday.  Maybe.

Afternoon at best?  Slow pokes.

I'm not 100% but I think it's a combination of early results, exit polling and a team of nerds crunching the numbers.  Usually it's the press predicting a win after a certain amount of data comes in.

It sounds flimsy but their results are usually very good.  It's news worthy if they're wrong at that point.  Most politicians at this point will concede the race so they don't look like an anti-democratic sore loser.  Most politicians...
