#41, Americans were sick of Clintons and Bushes by 2008. They were still sick of them 8 years later, but neither Hillary nor Jeb got the memo. Of all the things that were stacked against her (late campaign start, anti-incumbency mood, corrupt consultants and advisors, Trump's apparent assassination attempt, Trump's ability to play the media), Kamala's sex and ethnicity are really far down the list, well below the poor decisions she and Walz made.

"Trumpanzee still didn't win the popular vote."

Are we acknowledging now that Clinton didn't win the popular vote either?

"I don't believe Laura is a self loather, nor does she support Trump, nor has she ever supported Trump.
That's just what, certain butt hurt Democrats, Hillary voters, accuse her of."

It really is ridiculous how some Democrats *still* haven't figured out that, by attacking people who did not and would not vote for Trump, that *they* are the ones who hurt their cause and ended up helping Trump get elected twice.

That said, I don't believe it's accurate or fair to call transgendered Trump supporters self-loathing. Like cisgendered women who aren't overly concerned about abortion rights at the national level, they simply have different priorities and don't like being told to vote for because of their gender. It's just as silly as the claim that cis white males are self-loathing if they vote for Democrats, although all that self-deprecating "White Guy Tacos" nonsense didn't do much to help to dissuade people of that.

"I don't think children should be goimg to school in the dark."

Do you live in North Korea, where there are no lights?

It seems like this emotional argument about children being in the dark before school gets repeated mindlessly like any other "think of the children!" admonishment without any critical thought.

Without DST, it can get dark as early 3:30pm in some places when it's cloudy. Why isn't there just much concern about children coming home from school in the dark?

If there really are any legitimate concerns about children going to school in the dark, a more sensible solution would be to have the schools start an hour later during those times, rather than making everyone lose an hour of daylight in the evening when most people have their "free" time.

I would vote yes for making DST permanent.

I'm sure Trump is well aware all of his relationships are transactional.

"Fanny Pack"

Mm-hmm, ah-haa, oh no!
Check yourself, girl...

"I wonder where the gun came from?"

You mean how she snuck it into school?

You don't wanna know...

"Will the US pay to rebuild the embassy and protect the island its on from disaster, just do one, or skip doing both?"

Nonsense like this undermines sincere environmental efforts.

I love how the headline assumes no one here knows Vanuatu is an island nation in the Pacific.

This seems like an example of linguistic creep. The term tornado no longer includes just actual tornadoes, but signatures on data instruments that indicate "possible" tornadoes. Nobody knows how common these signatures were in that area before the technology was developed to detect them.

The super rich and the super poor are always exempt from these sorts of things. Everyone in the middle always has to pay.

Puberty blockers have been banned in the UK.

"and outgoing Sen. Joe Manchin III (I-West Virginia)"

Good thing this guy is leaving and being replaced by a pro-Trump Republican, eh?

Could this be the beginning of Hunter 2028?

And then when someone is in a real crisis, they'll draw a blank and forget their secret word. Or people will have difficulty keeping track of all the secret words of relatives and friends.

Partisans are funny people.

So it turns out Mars has been causing global warming on Earth.

Frickin hot here! I was sweating this morning.

It's almost like this is all a distraction...

"six foot distance"
In other countries it was two meters, which is more like 6 66 feet.

Wake me when he throws up on a prime minister.

Britney Spears says she's moved to Mexico because the paparazzi are mean to her and force her to wear a Jason mask.

This is just pathetic public ------------. I'm sure voters are deeply interested in hearing the 99th regurgitation about Trump's past. Not.

As I said in another thread, this is what a plurality of American voters have voted for. Can't really complain whether Biden or Trump does stuff like this now.

Anyone here been to Peru before?
