Looking at that cast, I'm curious. Did that movie come out in 2008?

Eventually they'll get their day in court. Trump & his DOJ/DHS thugs are fighting the inevitable. Let them burn up their political capital on this lost cause; it may limit the damage they can do to the country in other areas.
A pox on their houses and crotches. Bring back the Bill of Rights.

It's beautiful
(ya know, there's a thousand reasons to loathe Mr Musk. He's a racist, misogynist, emotionally absent father, fascist enabler, druggie, oligarch, monopolist.
I can't fault him that his rockets blow up. That's how rocket science works. You try, fail, fail, fail, before you succeed)

What you mean by "putting up with"?
What alternative course of action do you suggest?
I'm sincerely curious. What do you see people doing to resist, halt, or reverse this toxic nonsense?
I'm 100% on board for any return to sanity.

I don't have enough head to shake at comments like that.

I agree 100%
I think they've limited their comments to only people they follow. This of course defeats the whole purpose of a social network.
They want you to read their ideas but they don't want to hear anyone else's nor have any third party read someone else's comments to their observations.

I would find this video interesting.
I do wish people wouldn't link to tik tok videos. They do wonky stuff to my phone.

Also Nixon won all the swing states when he ran for reelection.
You should totally look up in the facts before posting them
comment in response to

Which states are swing states changes all the time.
That's not proof. It's a sports statistic. That's why you had to add "sitting president" cause Obama won all the swing states when he first got elected
It's not even an ACCURATE statistic. LBJ & Reagan both won every swing state as incumbents.

That's simply not true.
Along with factcheck.org, Al Jazeera, the AP, ABC News, and a bunch of other EASILY GOOGLEABLE news sources have a debunked this bologna rumor.
You shouldn't waste your time on sour grapes. Leave the disinformation and fake news to the Republicans.

Thanks, Melanie. I will have a great weekend and I hope you have a great one too.
And thank you for recognizing when our argument has run its course. I think it's a nice gesture to let me know when you're leaving the convo.

If you're saying there's corruption in the world, you're right.
If you're saying the Constitution "was never used to help poor people", you aren't familiar with American history.
Our government and our history are complicated matters. Discussing them requires nuance, my friend, not hysterics.

Talk about "do your own research"!!
Musk flooded PA with millions of dollars to whip up the vote there. Many of his tactics were illegal.
It's dirty politics. It is not vote rigging. It is not ballot hacking. It is not stealing an election. It took me 10 seconds to Google this.
Educate yourself.

And establishing that validity still requires evidence.
The CIA funding the contras with coke money is drifting way off from this discussion.
Any claims of vote rigging without evidence is simply pouting. We have (so far) very secure elections in this country.
We lost. Denying that is silly.
comment in response to
post
Okay, fair enough
There ARE people saying Starlink hacked the election, which is absurd.
I definitely agree that Starlink and musk are too powerful. This is what happens when we do too much privatization of national security functions. The CIA's dependence on private firms is even worse.

So... utterly incapable of making a coherent argument, but deeply committed to ignoring logic what it's put in front of you
I'll just be grateful that you're voting the right way (please keep on for Democrats, btw) and move on

If you're gonna talking about government you have to understand the Constitution, my friend.
Schwarzenegger was never eligible to run for president. That didn't stop Republicans from talking about it... even discussing amending the Constitution to allow it!
Brown, Newsom, even Pete Wilson

Thank you for (uniquely) pointing to evidence instead of just doubling down on pout mode like most people here.
Voter suppression is a huge problem, and one Democrats need to keep working on as long as GOPers hate democracy.
It's not exactly the same as vote rigging, but we have to fight it.

That's not an argument.
That's not even a sequitur.

You think like maga. Now you talk like maga with that lame "do your own research" dodge. ๐
This is how people make assertions that they can't back up. There is NO evidence that
1. Starlink has any connection to vote tabulation
2. The Moon is flat
3. NASA killed Kennedy
4. Fluoride causes autism

I like Kamala Harris. I thought she was an adept & thoughtful politician. Two facts I'd like you to reconsider:
1. California governor has always been a springboard for a presidential run.
2. California governor is not an easier job than presIdent. The demands are closer & the resources are fewer

Is Starlink the liberal version for Jewish space lasers?!
What the hell does Starlink have to do with vote tabulation?
Geez, people in this thread have started to all sound exactly like those maga idiots from January 6th.
We need to cope, recalibrate, and organize and to resist... Not bellyache
comment in response to

Please don't mimic those idiots
If you look at the polls going into November last year, Trump's narrow victory makes perfect sense.
I don't think he fought clean or fair. He sure didn't campaign honestly.
But there's zero evidence that the voting itself was rigged.
Whining ain't resisting.

*sigh*
Let me introduce you to the concept of "losing an election"
I spent the last 4 years explaining to idiots on the Right that you need actual evidence, not blind faith in your goodness, not a deep-seated hunch the other side are bad guys, to claim an election was stolen.
Deal with reality.

I remember back when doctors could doctor.
I also remember the high school definition of totalitarianism: a gov't that tries to invade every aspect of our daily lives.
I thought that meant pictures of the dictator du jour at the kitchen table. Turns out it's a govt willing to crawl into your womb

See, I keep on thinking my mimicry is too over the top to be witty. Then the world reminds that the people have to be warned when sarcasm is being employed.

Ugh. These beta cuck TV meteorologists are pathetically dependent on government handouts for weather forecasting. That's weakness! Do yer ๐๐ค๐ forecasting, bro, and start earning your keep instead of sucking off the NOAA teet!
What kind of name is that? Has anyone checked his papers?

A scientist would have to be crazy to move her research to China for any amount of money. Their promises are as meaningless as Trump's campaign pledges.
But at some point--and it's probably already started--trustworthy nations are gonna start winning over our researchers. America's brain drain.

Actually, on review, I made a mistake here. The Bluesky feed "USA Polling" is a private account held by whoever. But there WAS a citation in the post. The polling organization is YouGov, which the original post ๐

cite.
comment in response to

Scott, this IS the source. It's original research published by a professional polling operation. Polls don't need a citation; they're the thing that you cite.

If you read it correctly, the rights themselves apply to everyone everywhere. The point of the Amendment is saying Congress specifically can't infringe on those rights.
Not that ๐กโ๐๐ก matters lately.

It ain't genetics. It's education. And it's corrupt leaders on the right who value control over the rights of people and nation.

Another day, another stab in the back to American national security by this lawless president. This is morally repugnant.
