Re: trump off the CO ballot

Trump, on the other hand, has been alienating the undecideds with his unhinged behavior, and also by being old. I don't think he can fix either of those problems. He's not helping his hardcore sycophants either - Trump Media is down 20% this week. Poor man can't put a foot right at the moment. I th...

Re: trump off the CO ballot

Here's how I see it. Trump has a small group of absolutely fanatical supporters who will never vote for anybody but him, ever, and who will loudly shout his name from the rooftops like he's a God-Emperor. He also has a large group of people who see him as generally pretty good, and a larger group w...

Re: trump off the CO ballot

Can you believe this recent Gallup pole? Trump's approval rating has climbed 5 points since the debate! Nope, it's an outlier and at variance with multiple other polls. Trump is toast and Harris wins in a landslide. I wish I agreed. I think the race is still up for grabs. If the election were held ...

Re: trump off the CO ballot

]Haitians have been victims of racist fearmongering for years. Decades. The only new thing about it is that now an ex-President has said it. Yep. It's mostly because of voodoo. (I think the preferred spelloing is Voudoun these days.) And funny accents that are harder to understand than Jamaicans.

Re: Jury Duty

I was kind of looking forward to being on the jury this time, because I received the summons literally on the day after my last day of work, ever. I wasn't going to lose any money off of it. You occaisonally hear horror stories of people in America being on juries for months at a time, and they are ...

Re: trump off the CO ballot

As I said after the debate, it's so hard for me to project myself into the head of an undecided voter. To me, if a candidate is a narcissist and megalomania who cannot tell truth from fantasy, I don't ask, "Well, yeah, but what does he think about immigration?" That's not the way the unde...

Jury Duty

Do other countries have jury duty? I just reported for jury duty on Monday. I'll explain how we do things in hte US, or at least in Michigan, but I think it's similar all across the country. I'm wondering if other countries do similar things, or if this is just an American thing. First, you get a le...

Re: trump off the CO ballot

I would like to think the conservatives are getting it wrong. Do you think the US, because of Trump's influence, is overall becoming more of a racist country? No. I think the racism stands out more, and so gets reported more and viewed more, because it's more rare. It's enough of an oddity that eac...

Re: trump off the CO ballot

In the past two to three days, I've seen more and more pro-Trump youtube channels, e.g. Megyn Kelly and others, celebrating the "eating the cats" meme. They think it's actually working in favor of Trump, not against him. The theory is that the single most important thing that all the atten...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid

"Later in the month, a smaller asteroid will become a temporary “mini moon” as it is pulled into orbit around Earth for two months." Just wondering if that is an exact quote? If so, it's at best poorly written. It deserves far more explanation as to how something that starts orbiting the ...
