  1. Well in the NC governor race, the Democratic candidate is running away with it, and NC was close last time. It's at least going to be neck and neck Presidentially. Harris might actually win.

  3. Both Vivek and Musk should have full FBI background checks before being allowed to suggest anything to the President. Education and defense are both far too important to let a couple of unvetted "whiz kids" with no qualifications mess with.

  9. Almost 90% of the potash we use for our fertilizer comes from Canada. Our refinery system is set up to handle their heavy crude far more than our light crude. Their timber and steel are also very important to our construction and automotive industries... We're more dependent than you think and are in no way prepared to replace most of it.

  31. When are people going to wake up and recognize this obvious (and utterly incompetent) attempt to frame this guy? An FBI "expert" was only able to narrow the make and model of the car down to three years (2011-2013) when there are shade tree mechanics out there who could watch a 2 second clip filmed with a potato and nail the exact year...and then said "expert" extends it by an additional three years (2011-2016) once they realize the person investigators have decided is guilty actually drove a 2015 model... They act like their cell phone ping location can pinpoint where he was when given the low cell tower density in the area, the realistic accuracy of that method can only narrow it down to within a mile at best. Then, rather than get the suspect's DNA from his own garbage, they go for his dad's instead. A method far less accurate (and easier to fudge.) They find a bloody footprint weeks after the crime (when the public were on their asses to get results) that no one noticed the first time. The "surviving witness" was so terrified that they described themselves as freezing like a deer in the headlights then fleeing to their room in such a panic that they couldn't be bothered to call the police or check on their upstairs neighbors for nearly eight hours and yet they remember "bushy eyebrows" and other descriptors that sound like they wete reciting a list given to them by investigators describing their targetted patsy... and to top it all off, they allow someone they "know" is the killer to leave the state when they supposedly had so much evidence on him they could have gotten an arrest warrant easily. Come on people, hold these incompetent and dishonest investigators accountable for botching the investigation and make them quit this nonsense and go out and find the real killer. Though they've likely done such a thorough job of botching things, they'll never be able to figure out who really did it...

  35. Nope. Neville Chamberlain is an excellent example of what peace talks will get you with a dictator. A strong hard stance on Russia withdrawing completely from Ukraine is the only approach that won't lead to more aggression from him in the future. He would just accept any concessions offered and then break the deal once he's reorganized and supplied his army. Such deals would also be played as a victory for him and attract him more allies for his next aggression.

  36. The fact that he hasn't mentioned that he disregarded his security detail's warning not to play on an unsecured golf course.

  37. Doing it openly is insulting to the intelligence though. At least try to outsmart the American public. Don't just assume we're too stupid to recognize what's right under our noses.

  39. The way he's handling it probably falls under lottery rules. In which case he may well be breaking the law. Many YouTubers with similar gimmicks in the past have run afoul of said laws. Mostly they just get warned to stop or comply with the law.

  52. Yeah, but they have Congressional oversight. Better to let two con artists do it all with no oversight...more "efficient" that way...

  53. Even if you stopped supplying power, you wouldn't be shutting them off. American power plants are also attached to the same grid. They would pick up the slack... and charge a bundle for the overage on their system.

  54. Hopefully, whatever deal they come up with will be far better than the joke of a deal we made with the UK...
    2
  55. ​ @princesskahlua2078 Depends on the situation. History has shown that negotiating with an aggressive dictator like Putin only makes things worse in the long run. Notice that relevant countries are mostly only supporting him with lip service (like China). They know his only chance is to bluff his way into some sort of favorable agreement. If he gets one, then the next time he invades a neighbor, those other countries will join in because NATO and the West will have shown weakness and an unwillingness to stop them. Not every nation or culture sees willingness to negotiate from a position of strength as noble. Dictatorships see it only as weakness to be exploited. At some point, like with Ukraine, a hard stance is the only option.

  64.  @marthastewwart  There are plenty of investigators, lawyers, etc. out there who see the same problems with how this investigation has been handled and the "evidence" against this oddball. It's not just me. Most who look at it closely feel the same as I do about it. Out of curiosity, do you really buy the "surviving witness's" story? What seems more likely... That someone would encounter a masked intruder in their home, who just killed four people like it was nothing, freeze up in panic, and live to tell the tale while remembering details like "bushy eyebrows" yet not calling the police or checking on their housemates for seven + hours... or they came home earlier that night, went to bed, didn't see or hear a thing, woke up near noon, found their housemates brutally murdered, felt guilty about sleeping through it and not being there for them, and decided to go along with whatever story those investigating the murders told them would put the killer out of action? Survivor's guilt is a powerful thing. I never wanted to believe such frame ups could ever be a thing (or at least be successful) but the more I look at the way this has been handled, the less sense it makes... unless it really is complete bs... Combine that with so many people immediately assuming the guy is guilty without doing a little research into on their own and actually questioning all of the oddities in how it's been handled and it just isn't right. People want this guy to be guilty so they can sleep a little better at night and have a target for their anger and disgust over the loss of four innocent lives and they are willing to ignore a ridiculous amount of things that don't add up to achieve such peace of mind. Seriously, if this were an episode of some tv crime drama, few would be able to suspend their disbelief enough to enjoy it. Yet, in real life, it's perfectly fine for so many... thst's a bit concerning.

  65. Nearly 90% of the potash we use for our fertilizers. Around 50% of the oil we refine in our refineries. Anywhere from 10% to 30% of our timber (European countries have recently taken some of their market however, Trump has already said he is going to tariff the EU so that will likely change.) Around 20% of our steel as well. Quite a bit of electrical power to border states. Enough to make it a bad idea to tariff them in such an unprepared manner.

  71. The two rules tossed were specifically designed to be used together to nullify legitimate votes from predominantly democratic areas. If Harris wins now it will be because the election was legitimate. Had the rules remained in place, the legitimacy of a Trump victory would have been highly questionable. You should be thanking the judge for doing the right thing.
    1
  72. ​@gregmiller9238 If you read the two rules as they are written and use a little critical thinking, you'll see that the judge was entirely correct in tossing them. Neither did anything for election security but combined they manufactured an illegitimate excuse to refuse to certify votes from highly populated (and thus predominantly "blue") areas. They were just a sneaky attempt to well...rig the election and the judge realized it. Other rules were left in place.

  73. @mtrichie111  Neither made their money from running businesses. Vivek essentially pump and dumped his way to wealth and Elon made most of his money from PayPal (which he had 0 operatuinal control over) and both were successful at crypto scamming. The "businesses" they actually have operational control over are pretty poorly run...and mostly just ways to scam investors and government contracts. You'll see their skill if Trump and Congress are dumb enough to take their advice.

  80.  @rico5393  Bernie would have lost handily. Clinton lost because of the green party. Had ~2/3 of their vote in Florida gone to her, Trump would have lost the state and the election. Their candidate even apologized later because she had been asked to drop out and endorse Clinton but refused saying her demographic couldn't effect the outcome.

  81.  @loosilu  Well, technically he took the easy way out in the 2000 election by picking Gore but saying only for the popular vote. Though had their been a full recount in Florida, Gore would have been President.
    1
  82.  @rico5393  It would have been 55% Trump at least. Bernie does well in the primaries because rabid party loyalists represent the largest chunk of voters. Moderates and Centrists aren't as ardent. Also the Idependents don't vote in them at all in many cases due to many states (like mine) requiring them to declare a party and stick only to that party's ticket. Bernie gets the hard core progressive vote but not really the moderate/centrist/independent vote. As a result, he would have looked good in the primaries and been slaughtered in the actual election. It's an excellent example of why party primaries are a joke.

  83. Those had a legitimate reason, were made earlier, and weren't obvious political pandering. Nothing wrong with getting rid of two rules whose only purpose was to set up illegitimate excuses for a particular candidate to use to contest a potential loss.

  85. Actually, they were designed to provide an opportunity to throw out votes from mostly Democratic areas. Hand counting the number of ballots printed out by voting machines would be off by a greater number for machines that process more total votes, like in urban areas which are more Democratic than in more rural areas. They could then claim "suspicion" over the votes in those urban areas and refuse to certify them. Thus throwing out Democratic votes.

  99. By allowing a refusal to certify based on suspicion alone combined with the obvious discrepancy in ballot totals that would come from hand counting the paper receipts from the machines due to human error (especially in high volume urban, and thus mostly democratic, voting precincts), they would be creating an unwarranted excuse to attempt to throw out votes from democratic areas. The council members who voted for those rules should consider themselves lucky. Had the rules remained and been used as obviously intended, they could have been brought up on election interference charges.

  100. @Drety6  I didn't say anything about the law. They could voluntarily submit to, or the President could request an FBI background check. In the spirit of national security. If they're going to have pull over so many important things, it's the least they could do.

  141. Those two "rules" combined were designed to enable the throwing out of votes from highly populated urban (and thus Democratic) areas. Nothing more. They had nothing to do with election security, and the judge knew it. Hand counting the number of receipts printed out by each machine and comparing it to the total ballots registered by the machine does nothing except guarantee a discrepancy due to human error. The amount of that discrepancy would be greater for machines that handle more votes (urban areas that are more "blue"). Combine that with being able to refuse certification based on "suspicion" alone, and you have all you need to refuse to certify votes from Democratic areas while allowing them from Republican areas. What you don't have from those rules is any election security whatsoever.

Also, lack of workforce is a major problem in our timber industry. Can't force people to be loggers... Edit: They didn't fold kid. Trump agreed to allot border patrol resources to block illegal gun shipments into Mexico in return for Mexico sending National Guard troops to help guard the border. You watch too much Fox "News".

  148. Way too heavy handed, but to be expected from a fascist government. Moral of the story. The US is not a place for anyone to come to. Only leave.

  149. If Musk handles this like he handled getting called out for paying people to level his PoE2 character, it should be fun reading the DMs he's had with administration officials and watching them lose their check marks on their X accounts.

  150. He's full of it. They want the canal back so that the American taxpayer can assume the operational costs while the corporations reap the profits. In other words, they want the working class to pay for the rich to get richer. Nothing more.

  151. When all these commenters eventually realize what is being done to our country by this administration and finally get mad, everyone else who tried to warn them should treat them the same way they have treated others... No pity, no mercy, just ridicule and spite.

  155. Not a single bit of that has anything to do with his qualifications. Quit making decisions based on charisma. That's why so many people drive cars they can't afford that break down in 2 years.

  157. The two rules that were tossed had nothing to do with ID and were specifically designed to manufacture an excuse to refuse to certify votes from highly populated urban areas that are more "blue". The judge saw through the charade and ended it. Nothing more. Other rules that actually did have something to do with election security were left in place.

  158. Russia invaded a free country. It's their war. They can end it tomorrow by simply withdrawing back to their own country. Or NATO may have to end it by getting more involved. But again, that's entirely up to Russia.
