@bronakins @GottaLaff @clusterfcku @Bookworm33333 I am still convinced that it did not change the result. The CEO of Diebold Elections Systems declared that he was committed to deliver Ohio to W, and in the end, there did seem to be some irregularities in Ohio’s tallies. Ohio was the whole difference in the election.

@ai6yr Why not? You would get all kinds of stoners. (And it is in CA.)

@edgeofeurope @clintruin @QasimRashid War is never about religion. Never. It is about your stuff. Or maybe my stuff. End of story.
Religion is an extremely powerful tool for facilitating war. We are fighting about your stuff or my stuff, but without religion, we are just throwing rocks at each other. Add in the religion and watch us get people to die for the cause.

@lyricismist @Strandjunker a piece of metal going by even a foot away at nearly mach 3 is going to have a powerful bowshock that could damage flesh without making contact.

@Strandjunker

I would prefer not to remind the voters that he was shot at just recently. That story has been buried by subsequent events, let's leave it there.

@Rainne @Nonilex If as many Montanans as live in BZ were to switch their votes, he would lose 3 more EVs.

@Nonilex Will they fix his broken plane for free in Billings just to get shed of him?

@petergleick I remember exactly where we were at the time, camping at the state park at Spirit Lake (in the shadow of the whole Mt. St. Helens).

@AlliFlowers like I said, I bailed after about 20 minutes. I can endure some pain, but there was way too much to deal with there, with no hope of any kind of recompense for my suffering.

Also, it helped that I was doing something else at the time.

@AlliFlowers I actually watched part of it. Maybe 20 minutes or so, on a stream-tail. It was tedious, not to mention full of his voice. I mean, he cannot strip wallpaper the way Mooselini could, but …
Also, concertina. Endless concertina.

@davidho You can do quite a lot of damage with a book. I mean, look at that one very old one.

If @willbunch wrote it, you should read it.© & I thread it:

"The story of the most serious White House bribe allegation in U.S. history can't be allowed to fall under the cushions of #JDVance's couch

Congress must probe what really happened with #Trump, #Egypt and the $10M - and make bribery a crime again. My column🎁"

My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of actress Patti Yasutake. Fans will forever cherish her portrayal of Nurse Alyssa Ogawa on “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” Personally, I’ll remember her as a dear friend, whose sister was the late Irene Hirano Inouye, a founder of the Japanese American National Museum.

@GottaLaff It is not because he hates vets (after all, he was in Iraq, writing news stories), but there is no way in hell he could allow a Democrat to do a good thing. That would make him look bad.

(i.e., our system is deeply broken, because of people like him)

@MissingThePt Vance goes to Iowa to campaign, gets stuck in Davenport.

@pixelpusher220 @GottaLaff Down by 7 points? This is not Football, where all you need is a TD. 7 points is desperation territory: we need to be down by 3 or so to be reasonable. "To win, it takes courage, strength, cunning and endurance – to lose, it takes *everything you've got."
