Yes, the initial reaction seems to be "he just won", but that's a bit silly with 3-4 months to go. Don't worry (yet)! We have no idea if the violence will escalate, or what absolutely fucking insane things will occur in this time (esp. Oct-Nov)!

"Which candidate will calm all of this down?" We await the verdict from the 1. INCREDIBLE or 2. DEPLORABLE (select one after election) people of ~~the USA~~... PA, WI, and MI.

What might the current president do with monarchical immunity to act? Sorry, that’s not admissible.

"If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?" Yes, apparently.

This president has acted like he was owned by the cartels since day one. Good luck to any peace he thought that would bring. Seems like a disaster for their future in the long-term.

Just extracting wealth from the ~~cult~~ fans and tech illiterate. And they will keep pushing the insane prices, until people stop paying (sounds familiar). I wish they'd use their absurd profits to actually bring to market something truly spectacular. Dyson makes more daring and innovative products, funded by vacuums, heh.

We had a vigorous primary, many interesting candidates in '19-20 (Bernie leading easily until SC, Warren backstab, pandemic). Before Super Tuesday, Democrat primary voters were told to unite around Biden, and they did. So that was... weird, but maybe I can blame pandemic.

Biden's been more progressive than I would've imagined, and is surrounded by decent people, so I'm not concerned about his ancient brain quite yet. The other option is... religious fascism, destruction of govt, civil war, T**** family dictatorship, etc. Let's go Brandon, I guess.

I think most people, by far, don't know how to use (or want to pay for) a VPN. What they'll do is use one of the other porn sites. There are probably dozens! And it will push sites to operate outside of US and ignore our dumb state laws.

I'd just like to thank this deranged (and armed) madman for taking himself out of society, without killing random people (and himself) like an absolute coward. It warms my heart to know that another one of those folks is no longer a threat. Happy holidays.

Chicago should take ownership of the chartered jets, since they're being used in a crime. They impounded the buses. The federal govt should get involved, follow the money, and arrest some folks. And send all border and migrant funds to these cities.

Exactly. I think an aftermarket VESA mount is pretty much required these days for modern TVs, that's the bad news. The good news is that there are plenty of options (center base, wall, swivel, etc), some very affordable, and they should last for multiple TV generations (check VESA pattern, weight limits).

But I get that these tiny, wide feet can be mind boggling at first, since TVs all used to have center stands for decades. Finally, TVs got too large, the cost savings and stability from two tiny feet won out over the alternative of the large, heavy single center base.

The investigation and video reconstruction shows how fighters neutralized key parts of the border fence, exploiting vulnerabilities created by Israel’s dependence on technology.

...but no seat belt. That's not safety, just a costume.
