  1. I have heard this morning that voter turnout is now projected to be higher than any election in over a century. If that is true, and all the ballots are counted, it will be very hard for anyone to say that the will of the American people is not clear.
  2. Evolution continues and the fight between conservatism and liberalism will as well. I do not understand why people think non-whites are natural liberals. They are actually more likely to be conservatives. When the R party can no longer sustain it's grip on power by mostly appealing to race baiting it will evolve, it's complexion will change, and the world will keep on turning.
  3. There are important states where his lead is much smaller, and shrinking. This thing is far from over.
  4. As I suspected. Libertarians dream of changing the society they live in to one with fewer rules and a society where everyone rises or fall on their merits. But most of them start from an already privileged position. What they fail to take account of is how the oppressive rules that they feel oppress them are a large part of what enabled us to get to where we are. They want to have the cake and eat it too.
  5. I have never been able to understand just what a libertarian is. As far as I can see they are people who don't think there should be very many rules. Except of course for the rules that protect and benefit themselves.
  6. Looks more like a macaw than a Norwegian Blue.
  7. The DZ I am a partner in had it's most financially successful season yet. Despite losing 6 weeks at the start and a couple at the end. Covid was low here all summer and no one got sick.
  8. It's funny how the R supporters just seem to know that leaders are lying scheming thieves. They have been taught to believe that by someone, somewhere, somehow.
  9. More than 2 months after the murders, perp Rittenhouse the thug is finally back in Kenosha to face some justice. https://us.cnn.com/2020/10/30/us/kyle-rittenhouse-extradition-kenosha-shooting/index.html
  10. That is not much of a push. It's a nibble around the edges because they know the story is no good, but they can't completely ignore it. A push would be a story on the main section with an accusation against Joe, like the troll seems to be making here.
  11. Am I was responding you you responding to the troll. Around and around I go circling the drain. Again!
  12. I just looked at the Fox main page. They do not seem to be pushing it. Although I'm sure you could find some mentions if you dig. https://www.foxnews.com/
  13. Not even Fox is pushing this fantasy......
  14. Very interesting work going on there. Now I understand where your thinking about distributed AI in autonomous vehicles comes from. The swarm.
  15. Cool toy, but nothing more unless is is both a certified aircraft and a street legal car. But alas, it is neither and never will be.
  16. The headline is the claim. The text is supposed to explain and back up the claim. It does not. Therefore the headline is a lie. It is that simple.
  17. They can't do it either. It was not just Rs that forced the very poor compromise that became the ACA. There were also blue dog Ds that needed to be appeased.
  18. The dog has now barfed up the missing homework? It'll be a darn shame when the really juicy stuff turns out to have mysteriously vanished from the now found shipment.
  19. Not to mention the mischief that could be done in the lame duck period. Wounded animals can be nasty.
  20. A lot of countries including Canada have first past the post voting, but several parties represented. And minority governments are fairly common. Israel comes to mind. I don't know if it has ever had a majority government.
  21. Because they do not have a parliamentary system. So coalition building must take place at the party level and not at the legislative level. If you want to advance your cause you have to join up with a team. The fewer teams there are the better chances yours will have.
  22. That may be. Everything I have said about them depends on the current attempts to develop what are essentially shorter range island hoppers being successful. But if that can be done, jump ships can also be done. And there is serious development with working models going on right now.
