Not only has he won the requisite 270 electoral college votes needed to claim the presidency, but he is also poised to win the popular vote for the first time.

So how was Donald Trump propelled to his first popular presidency? ...

@#10 ... as you well know. ...

For starters, your current alias has not a clue of what I know.

But do try harder.

... This prompts the obvious question: why the heck would you want an air fryer that connects to other devices?

The other categories of hardware that Which? looked at were smartwatches, smart speakers, and smart TVs.

Its analysis of smart speakers praised the Amazon Echo for offering the option to skip various requests to share data. However, an Amazon or Google account is needed to use the Echo Pop or Nest Mini, and while these have trackers that the researchers expected to see, users cannot selectively opt out of them.

Which? said that the Bose Home Portable speaker and app requested the fewest upfront phone permissions, but was found to be "stuffed with trackers," including Facebook, Google, and digital marketing firm Urbanairship.

For those masochists interested in a smartwatch, the researchers found that two available from Amazon " Kuzil and WeurGhy " are essentially the same product. These required privacy consent to operate, only functioning as a plain watch if consent is declined.

Huawei's Ultimate smartwatch also requires privacy consent to work properly, and requested no fewer than nine "risky" phone permissions. These are defined by Which? as those that confer intimate access to certain phone functions, including precise location, the ability to record audio, access to stored files, and an ability to see all other apps installed. ...

... Neither the officers nor the council members gave any explanation for their resignations.

Former Police Chief Alicia Ford did not provide specific reasons for the Thursday resignations, but said in a social media post that the decision was difficult. ...

"It is with great sadness that I and the rest of the Geary police officers will no longer be serving this community," she wrote, "but it was the right decision for me and the other officers," according to local media reports.

"We don't have much of a city anymore," resident Sonja Luquette told Oklahoma City TV-station KOCO-TV. "Ever since I've lived here it's been one drama after another and it worries me for this town like we should be building up, not falling down," she continued.

"I'm not happy by any means," an anonymous resident told Fox affiliate KOKH-TV." A city without its police force is a danger to the citizens of the town." ...

...MFA was cited for six violations, including one major violation, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The company faces nearly $242,000 in penalties, according to a new release from the labor department.

OSHA said its investigation found that three employees of MFA were removing corn screenings -- comprised of clumps of corn dust -- from a bin at the company's Hamilton elevator.

One worker entered the bin to clear screenings and became engulfed when the screenings shifted. Another worker tried to rescue his co-worker but was engulfed to his waist before being rescued by first responders from the local fire department.

OSHA found MFA, headquartered in Columbia, Missouri, had not completed a required bin entry permit before allowing the worker inside, according to the Department of Labor.

Investigators found that the conveyor was running with the bin's bottom gate open, increasing the risk of grain shifting and the risk of engulfment. OSHA said the company also "lacked adequate rescue equipment, failed to ensure the worker wore a harness and lifeline" and did not follow other required safety procedures before entering the bin. ...

@#14 ... The goat...poor goat. Used to work on an oil rig, but died from COPD a few years back.

But what of WISGOD... ...

If your current alias (as it seems to admit) wants to look odd on this site, it will have to try a whole lot harder.

I mean, your #14 is not even scratching the surface.

:)

@#13 ... You have no idea who I am or was :) ...

I agree.

But it is good to see you admit that.

Maybe #5 is a reason for this...

@#4 ... His first move will be to donate NASA to SpaceX. ...

... or report to Pres Putin?

@#9 ... Just wait until Bibi shows up in DC and acts like Dotard II is his BFF. All those Arab Americans in Dearborn will realize too late that they were played. ...

Yup.

@# ... "Them" - tRump cult members, also fairly obvious. ...

Yeah, I didn't see it as "fairly obvious."

... Merely being an a..hole ...

Yeah, I had come to that conclusion.

Good to see you confirm it.

In some respects, I do enjoy your, I'll say, different views on the issues.

For now, I'll leave it at that.

                                  h  :)

@#9 ... this is better ...

How so?

@#2 ... What did they expect? ...

To be treated as humans?

Will Pres-elect Trump grant a tariff exception to the company that makes his Bibles?

Just popped up on a playlist...

@#5 ... Very few of them could draw a line with a pencil, straight edge, and a paper to trace from. ...

What's yer point?

For starters, who are the "them" your comment refers to?

@#22 ... Typical liberal response...blame someone or something else. ...

To which comment are you referring?

If it is one of mine, I'd be wiling to discuss.

@#8 ... I think this is shameful but we should get a list of names for everyone that voted for Biden in 2020 and then did not vote for Kamala in 2024. We need to identify these racists and put them on a watch list. ...

I disagree.

STRONGLY...

My vote is between me and the voting booth. No one else.

Period. Full stop.

I expect my vote to be tallied properly.

But I do not expect any back-tracing of how I vote.

@#5 ... Censored is an Evil Toad.

He Worships successful Violence. ...

... as opposed to the person your current alias seems to worship, Pres Putin?

@#121 ,i> ... it was ridiculously close. He is taking swing states by the statistical margin of error in each poll. ...

Yup.

And that is how I have been characterizing the polls leading up to Election Day.

It is looking like the polls were correct.

The issue seems to be the "prediction" websites .

@#6 ... minus the constant harassment from the Democratic party ie Russia it should be a major improvement especially with foreign policy. ...

Aside from the fact that you characterize dissenting opinions as "constant harassment," how do you think it would be a major improvement with foreign policy?

@#26 ... Arabs saw the immediate enemy. ...

How so?
