Another...

@#4 ... Remember Heaven's Gate? ...

Yes, but I don't need to buy a t-shirt.

What's on your playlist?

Another from the current playlist ...

Not apropos, but a fav tune for me that just popped up on a playlist here ...

I remember, back in the mid-1990's, I was driving to visit a friend for a burger and a brew or two.

On the way to his house, I remember looking up into the sky and seeing the Hale-Bopp comet[1]. It was quite noticeable,

I stopped my car and stepped outside to look.

Wow.

Comets are cool.

... According to space scientists, Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, or Comet C/2023 A3, is the most impressive space sight of its kind to dazzle our skies since comet Neowise in 2020. That it also might be visible to the naked eye is "quite rare," says Matt Hjelle, spokesperson for the stargazing app Sky Safari. "On average, you get a comet of this brightness roughly once in a decade." ...

From strong northern lights to a historic total solar eclipse, 2024 has been quite a year for sky watchers -- and it's not over. Starting Friday evening, a bright comet predicted to be visible to the naked eye will treat stargazers across the northern hemisphere. It was last seen 80,000 years ago, during the time of Neanderthals, and it likely won't swing by earth again for another 80,000 years.

@#8 ... Putin's smelly orange bitch fled the stage at NABJ when he was asked about Project 2025. Dotard is a colossal coward. ...

That seems to be the case.

@#25 ... Much greater likelihood of leftwing violence if Trump wins than the opposite. ...

Really?

I mean, really?

Let's look at recent history....

It seems the fmr Pres Trump succumbed to following the Constitution because his January 6, 2021 uprising failed to topple the Constitution.

So, what else does yer current alias got?

More from the article...

... In North Carolina's Henderson County, a Republican election board member emailed legislators in August to claim, without evidence, that Democrats were flooding the state with illegal votes.

And in Pennsylvania, considered a must win for both Trump and his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, Republican officials in six counties have voted against certifying results since 2020.

Four years after Trump tried to overturn his election loss, his false conspiracy theories about voter fraud have become an article of faith among many Republican members of local election boards that certify results. Their rise raises the chances that pro-Trump officials in multiple jurisdictions will be able to delay or sow doubt over the Nov. 5 presidential election if Trump loses.

Reuters examined election boards in the five largest counties in each of the seven battleground states that are likely to determine the election's outcome. It found that nearly half -- or 16 of the 35 county election boards -- had at least one member who has expressed pro-Trump skepticism about the electoral process, including theories that Trump won the 2020 election, doubts about the integrity of voting machines or beliefs about widespread fraud in mail ballots.

The Reuters tallies are based on a review of public records, social media and news accounts as well as interviews with election officials.

In all, Reuters documented 37 election skeptics on the election boards of the five most populous counties in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina and Pennsylvania -- including 20 who have voted in the past to not certify results. Many smaller county boards in those states also include election deniers. Wisconsin was the only swing state whose big county election boards appeared free of such skeptics. ...

@#9

Wow from that awesome article...

... When my uncle was elected President, I recognized what a highly privileged position I would be in. I would have some access to the White House. And as long as that was true, I wanted to make sure I used that access for something positive. I was eager to champion something my wife, Lisa, and I were deeply passionate about, something we lived every day: the challenges for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families.

Our son William, our third child, was born on June 30, 1999. Within 24 hours, he went from seemingly healthy to fighting for his life in the NICU. Raising him was different from the start. William was diagnosed at three months with infantile spasms, a rare seizure disorder which in William's case altered his development physically and cognitively. We had so many questions: What would the future hold for someone like William? How far could he go? How much could he learn? Would he ever have the chance to do the things that other children do?

We just didn't know. It took 15 years before his medical team could accurately pinpoint the cause of his condition: a KCNQ2 mutation, a genetic misfire that the doctors called a potassium channel deletion.

In our journey with William, Lisa and I had become close to some truly inspiring parents and dedicated advocates who were doing amazing work to improve the day-to-day reality for families like ours. It's a huge lift for caregivers, not to mention the constant need to mitigate expenses. ...

Ya gotta read the entire article.

@#37 ... Huh? That says it all and how Democrats think. ...

Really, now your current robot alias seems to know how Democrats think?

That aside, here is how the candidate for Vice President thinks...

At what point does RCade add to his list of "banned aliases" AI bots?

@#56 ... [incoherent rambling] ...

WTF is your alias talking about?

Please try to be sane, and also supply substantiation for what it says.

I mean, if your alias wants to piss in this space, do try to aim it at the toilet.

thx.

... Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse ...

And, fwiw, I have sat through listening to numerous interviews with Sen Whitehouse on the various shows.

imo, he came across as someone who cares about the Judicial branch of government, first and foremost.

Oh, this does not look like A Good Thing.

@#26 ... nope. ...

So your alias has got nothing.

That's a shame.

@#24 ...Yes your alias did. Your alias is completely full of ----. ...

OK, while i await the link that substantiates the assertion your alias has made, I have other questions.

For starters...

In #22 I stated...

I never saw any poster who was "scard to death" of Gov DeSantis.

In #24, your alias said

Yes your alias did. Your alias is completely full of ----.

I said only that I had not seen any poster make that comment. I did not make that comment.

So, I ask, why is your alias trying to attribute a comment to me that I did not make?

Desperation?

I may have other questions, but let's go with that for now.

For starters, my #22 comment did not say that I had said that "'scard to death' of Gov DeSantis" comment.

@#24 ... Yes your alias did. ...

Got a link?

@#2 ... The GOPers can attempt to excuse/normalize the failed coup all they want. ...

And when they say that, my first response would be...

@#8

Don't hold back.

Say what you really think.

@#4 ... Trump, and especially Vance, have done FAR more interviews with tough questions than Harris/Walz. ...

Fmr Pres Trump having interviews with suck-up media does not show, by any means, that he has contents in his -------.

That's why I commented about VP Harris sitting down with 60 Minutes.

An interview that fmr Pres Trump seems to be afraid to have.

@#3 ... Has anyone listed to his show? ...

Yeah, I did.

He was on the local WNBC back in the day.

He's a radio shock jock, going for headlines.

Which is why I was surprised about the VP Harris interview.

@#25 ... This is beyond stupid. ...

If your current alias is self-referring to the comments it typically posts ....

Well yeah. I agree.
