Re getting people to fight for Australia in a war. I can’t see how it can be done for more than a few days, even if we had a million man army.
We have almost zero manufacturing capacity, we have no oil refining and little storage capacity, we keep our oil reserve on the other side of the world. Logistics win wars and we have no way to keep an army in the field. Even if all our baristas and social science students enlisted and made great soldiers we still couldn’t defend ourselves for more than a few hours.
The yanks showed what a well equipped army can do in Desert Storm, I doubt that we would last as long as the Iraqis.

Michigan’s 2022 midterm election set record in voter turnout
Trump was the right man in 2016, he was cheated in 2020 but nothing can be done about it.
Trump needs to gracefully retire and take on the elder statesman role. He’s just too old, being obsessed with what was done to him in 2020 isn’t helping.
DeSantis and others are the future and he should be supporting them, his self love and rage won’t let him. He needs to be sidelined asap unless they can convince him it’s over for him.

Yep.
Whatever the rights and wrongs of the past, Trump isn’t the future.

Midterm elections early voting updates: Turnout surpasses prior years
It’s too easy to blame Trump. That’s what the media and tame pundits want you to do. So I’m not going down that path at all, but instead cast my eyes over other factors in play.
CL has an interesting thread about the voting preferences. Worth a look.
Yes rosie. Voting “machines”.
What could go wrong?
Republicans know how to work it too but Mitch McConnell did not want his party to win or he would have lost his leadership. He is far worse than Biden. Republicans will get their act together once his faction is gone.
Trump perhaps could devote his energies to cleaning up the voting system in the US.
If the Dems are winning because they have learned how to galvanise indifferent voters, good luck to them.
State legislators should still be encouraged to limit absentee voters to those who can provide a good reason, facilitate inperson voting within a tight time frame and voter id etc.
Who is in his “faction”, Crossie? Were they the people DeSantis was sounding out, and that’s why Trump had a hissy?
Part of the need for the machines is that the US it is convenient to hold Federal, State, Council, P&C, head copper, local magistrate etc elections at the same time. Chuck in a few state and local referenda and it becomes a convoluted mess.
They can’t draw the real villain, McConnell, as most people don’t know who he is. It’s sad to see the cartoonists’ cheap shots.
Governments, like magicians, need convoluted messes to pull swifties.
In which case, the way the US votes will not change any time soon.
Ahhhhh, I miss the old days of Numbers Bob telling us that non-compulsory voting and/or requiring voter ID, was actually voter suppression.
A whimsical glimpse into why our education system is fucked.
How is he supposed to do that when the voting systems are state based and under the governors’ and state legislatures’ control?
It’s not the machines per se.
It’s insufficient spending on sufficient polling places, sloppy control around management of absentee votes and voter registration and the poor maintenance of electoral roles.

Yes. By being in a position to allocate election funding to candidates McConnell has clearly shown his hand by withholding the funding from Arizona and other places currently in trouble. He doesn’t want firebrands, he wants pliable politicians.
As for compulsory voting:
Does Compulsory Voting Increase Support for Leftist Policy?
What you are seeing the Democrats do in the US is achieving the same ends, but by a different means. Dragging every low info voter into the system, by hook or by crook.
The same way he endorses candidates, on a state by state basis.
You know, like DeSantis did.
Starting with all Republicans controlled states.
Back in April 2022
Today, Governor Ron DeSantis signed Senate Bill (SB) 524, Election Administration, to ensure that Florida continues to have secure and accurate elections. This legislation will strengthen election security measures by requiring voter rolls to be annually reviewed and updated, strengthening ID requirements, establishing the Office of Election Crimes and Security to investigate election law violations, and increasing penalties for violations of election laws.
Don’t pine, Mayer. We do have m0nty telling us we’re “seething and coping” as we examine the whys and wherefores of the election.

“sfwsays:
November 11, 2022 at 6:50 am”
All correct, which is why I wrote my post late yesterday about how Donald Trump reminds me of the John Wayne character from The Searchers, Ethan Edwards. It’s time for Trump to ride off into the sunset, his job is done. Like Edwards, Trump is both hero and anti-hero. His brashness, his rudeness and his vulgarity can and have been useful traits but these same traits can also turn people off and can splinter a party. I would also add that much of the Trump wagon now has cultish aspects about it (we even have a commentator here who subscribes to this) and Trump seems to be relishing his new found status as cult leader. This will not win a federal election. And I’m not joining any pile on of Trump. I’ve made it clear hear before that I would prefer Trump retire gracefully and for someone else to run. America is divided, the results of Tuesday will just add further fuel to this divisive fire and by 2024 the country will be in need of healing. As Rod Dreher writes, Trump alienates many, critically those independent voters. Trump is now the boogeyman and the Demonrats will use it to full advantage to scare, intimidate and bring out voters who normally don’t give a shit.
Is DeSantis the man? Well, he is impressive and more importantly his record in Florida is impressive, particularly when it comes to fighting woke, he doesn’t just talk about fighting woke, he fights it. Whilst there was no red wave across the country on Tuesday, there was a red tsunami in Florida. DeSantis won traditional Democrat and progressive districts, he won the Latino vote. And whilst the left, the Demonrats and the MSM will do their best to smear DeSantis, it won’t wash. DeSantis is the future.

True but we still have that fat fascist basement dweller. Vietman pops up on Quadrant and Michael Smith News from time to time to vomit up a comment. Only the other day he appeared on Michael Smith News running cover for the Andrews’ car accident nearly ten years ago (when a boy was nearly killed). He was basically saying how mean and ridiculous it was to dredge up stuff from so far back in the past…or words to that effect! I bet he didn’t think that about the Rinehart/netball fiasco when comments Gina’s father said in 1982 or 1983 were dredged up. You gotta laugh at the left and their mouthpieces like Vietman and the fat fascist fuckwit, they’re unapologetic hypocrites, and this is why their incessant lies, their incessant bullshit and their incessant hypocrisy must always be called out and tackled…….head on.

I said to my wife that the news report TaliDan hasn’t got solar panels on his house and yet he’s promising solar batteries for suburbs.
Her reply “He’s got wind power.”
I can’t think of any scenario which might have come from the mid-terms which would make the Cat collective say “Trump 2024, here we go!”
If the GOP had won the senate, it would have been “well, Trump wasn’t on the ticket, plus there are some Dr Oz types he endorsed who failed, so Trump needs to stand down.”
If the GOP had not gained the house, it would have been “Trump didn’t do enough for the crucial battlefront, he needs to stand down.”
If DeSantis had stumbled on any metric, it would have been “Trump hobbled him with a catty nickname and lukewarm praise, Trump needs to stand down.”
If the Republicans had swept the house, Senate, states, mayorals, school boards and gubernatorials-ie the Red Wave- it would have been “See what the GOP can do without Trump? It’s time for the next generation he’s too old there’s a war on he’s dangerous he has said nothing about trans preschool teachers he made the clot shots he’s too old, Trump needs to stand down.”
My position is, the Republicans need to look at their turnout v the Demons machine, and need to look at the hit job on Lake v the armchair ride for Fetterman, and look at what has happened with DeSantis v milquetoast weathervanes like O’Rourke, and have no doubt exactly what they need to do.
Trump is crucial to that.
Trump, and the Trumpism which is embodied by DeSantis and Lake, needs to win, and needs to be seen to win.
The snags are still all over the Swamp, and the FBI, CIA, DOJ, DHS, IRS, DPP and any amount of legislatures and courts, are arrayed against the men who would clean the awful stables.
“looks like Cassie believes the lies about Trump. He is none of these things, and would not have been able to build a property empire without connecting with people and working with them.”
Donald Trump IS all of those things and other things, I would imagine he is also quite sophisticated on some level but he also revels in his brashness, his rudeness and his vulgarity. Trump is the epitome of New York City, sophisticated, brash, vulgar, rude, plain speaking, exciting. He was born and bred in NYC…and you need all of those NYC attributes to become a billionaire, especially in property. Trump can move with the highest and the lowest, that’s always been his secret. However I just think that come 2024 American will need something else.
Close down all Federal law enforcement and intelligence save for the US Marshals, National Park Police & Defence Intelligence Agency.
That is at a minimum is what required.
Err, what is
And:
I didn’t care if he was all of those things, which are subjective in any event. I’m using the past tense because DJT45 can never, ever be King again, and for all the reasons described earlier by others.
You do not build an empire by being polite. You do not change a culture by turning the other cheek, saying ‘this discussion is beneath me’ and having a nice jacket. This is the Cory Bernardi Method.
Alexander the Great did not carve his way to India on a ‘broad church’ philosophy. Genghis Khan did not kick off a dynasty that smacked arse from China to Iran to Russia and Eastern Europe on the bedrock of good manners.
William the Conqueror did not build himself a kingdom spanning England and the Continent by appearing in TikToks, nor by having the feed reserves for his cavalry positioned in Mexico. Queen Victoria did not hold an empire built over centuries on the strength of her pumpkin muffins and press conference approval ratings.
Acknowledgment should be made that Trump got as far as he did amid the seething mass of $4000 suit-clad professional chameleons.
It’s done. It’s finished. The Trump chapter is over, and wishing upon a star will not bring it back. However, and as the man said at the end of The Empire Strikes Back:
Seems to me that the Dems offered the GOP a target rich environment that meant they lacked focus.
The Dems went with two issues, abortion and Trump.
People like it simple.
Just because you can list the multiple sins of the Dems doesn’t mean it bites.

I think the dem win was more getting esay votes from people who don’t usually bother, not issues so much.
And maybe Republicans didn’t turn out so much because midterms don’t make a whole lot of difference.
Let gas and food etc prices keep sky rocking and see if that influences more hearts and minds.
Eyrie – They’re going to have President Newsome anyway. It’s obvious. No Republican can win, the Dems dare not allow it. And no one is fixing the fraudulent election machinery, so it’ll just keep on happening.
For example this:
Republicans Have Won 6 Million More Votes than Democrats in House Races, But Gained Relatively Few Seats (10 Nov)
52.3% vs 46.2% is a landslide. Yet I don’t even know if the Republicans are going to win the House let alone the Senate. It’s clear as crystal what has just occurred and it’s going to happen again in 2024. Literally nothing will stop it. If I was a Republican I wouldn’t bother standing for President, it’s pointless.
“Keep thinking like that and you’ll have president Gavin Newsome in 2024.”
Nah, nope, nyet.

Whether it is Trump or Desantis or somebody else, whoever it is will have to survive industrial sized molten vats of radioactive slime day after day, hour after hour, for years before and after they get power, if that sort of power is even possible at this point. They will face a hostile deep state that gets scattier by the second, a hostile media, a hostile cheating anything-goes ends-justify-the-means Democrat party, a hostile republican party, a bewildered shell-shocked electorate, and everything else, including super volcanoes, probably. Whoever triumphs, or survives, will have to be a bare knuckle brawler of biblical proportions. It is going to get a good deal uglier than it has already been, and it’s been ugly. So whether it is Trump on one last ride, or Desantis rising, we’re in Batman villain territory now. Whoever it is will pretty much just have to run the gauntlet, I think.
On the other side I would like to see Fetterman run in 2024. He would be a worthy successor to Biden, and height is always important for Presidents. He’s very tall, apparently.
A father watched his young daughter playing in the garden. He smiled as he reflected on how sweet and pure his little girl was. Tears formed in his eyes as he thought about her seeing the wonders of nature through such innocent eyes. Suddenly she just stopped and stared at the ground. He went over to her to see what work of God had captured her attention. He noticed she was looking at two spiders mating. “Daddy, what are those two spiders doing?” she asked. “They’re mating” her father replied. “What do you call the spider on top?” she asked. “A Daddy Longlegs” her father answered. “So, the other one is a Mummy Longlegs?” the little girl asked. As his heart soared with the joy of such a cute and innocent question he replied “No dear. Both of them are Daddy Longlegs”. The little girl, looking a little puzzled, thought for a moment, then lifted her foot and stomped them flat. “Well” she said “we’re not having any of that gay shit in our garden”.
Trump won once, then piled up a long string of ever-increasing losses. Basically he’s the St Kilda of US politics.

How Teal ‘independent’ Kylea Tink’s campaign tapped into $1.83m to get her elected
YONI BASHAN
MARGIN CALL EDITOR
Who else but teal independent Kylea Tink would campaign so vigorously against corporate largesse and the “undue influence of money” in politics, only to then grease her own bid for a seat in parliament with funds provided by millionaire donors?
And that’s to say nothing of her warped calculation earlier this year that she would receive roughly $750,000 in donation support.
The final sums, released this week, revised that number significantly to $1.83m, a figure that puts paid to her suggestion that independents would be disadvantaged without “a big bank, like a big party machine” supporting them.
Certainly not the case for Dai Le, an independent MP with no affiliation to the Teals, who amassed just $81,000 in donations and went on to thrash Labor’s Kristina Keneally in the seat of Fowler. Perhaps we should chalk that one up to an act of God.
To claim there was no big bank or party machine supporting Tink is preposterous.
The machinery is simply known by another name, Climate 200, and we now know that its deep-pocketed backers deployed more than $800,000 to fortify her campaign armoury; that’s a mere slice of the $6m collected from its donors to buy greater levels of integrity in federal politics. Go figure.
They might have delivered Tink into parliament but for their money her services only seem to be provided on a part-time basis.
For months her electorate office has been open Mondays through Thursdays, between 9am and 3pm. Friday walk-ins are verboten, unless one has a booking, although a spokeswoman said that arrangement had changed “a few weeks ago”. The office is now open on Fridays, too – but only for six hours.
“Kylea is keen to hear from you,” shouts the banner on her website, in capital letters. “Our office values meaningful connection with the North Sydney electorate which means we are out and about in the vibrant North Sydney community.”
Maintaining such hours is unusual for any working MP of any stripe in any parliament. It looks like a decided lack of commitment to us. But why expect more from an MP who just months ago purchased a trophy to present to a local high school student, named it after herself, and then didn’t bother to turn up for the presentation night, having sent her apologies because of a scheduling clash.
A reminder, too, that this is the same MP who campaigned so assiduously for action on climate change while holding shares in Beach Energy, an oil and gas explorer, Viva Energy, a retailer of Shell-branded fuels, and shares in toll road operator Transurban.
Tink jettisoned the shares once a fuss was made about them in the press, including this column. But not before mounting an intellectually forlorn argument that she only bought them to exert pressure as a shareholder activist.
This is an argument truly destitute of any good sense; she would have held more sway whispering her demands into the bin under her office desk – when the office is open, of course.
But nowhere are Tink’s asymmetries most puzzling than on her passion project of political donations. Just last month she again called for corporate donors to be capped at $25,000 and demanded even further caps on campaign spending altogether.
That’s while having no compunction accepting a whopping sum of money from the Climate 200 mothership, which collected $2.5m in contributions from Atlassian co-founders Scott Farquhar and Mike Cannon-Brookes, in addition to a slew of other significant corporate identities.
Not that there’s any reason to suspect that Cannon-Brookes would use his personal wealth or his private investment vehicle to advance a corporate ambition … like the wholesale takeover of an energy company.
But it’s the other little white lies, the harmless miscalculations, that continue to attract our attention and concern.
At the outset of her campaign, Tink told reporters that 30 per cent of her funding would be sourced from Climate200. We now know the figure was much higher, just shy of 45 per cent, but only when in-kind donations were included – and they should be included, according to Electoral Commission rules.
For some reason Tink’s website estimates the figure at the lower benchmark of 40 per cent, without calculating those in-kind contributions. A bit sneaky, we think, but what’s a few lousy percentage points when you’re campaigning on integrity?

VW Norway’s most popular workplace on five wheels
For over 17 years, we have created Norway’s most popular workplace on four wheels. Now we have finally created something for all of you who are stuck in office jobs.
Our brand new office chair is packed with much of what makes Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles so well-liked by our customers.
The feeling of a car
The chair is designed to give those who work in an office a sense of what it is like to have a van from Volkswagen Utility Vehicles as a workplace – both outside and inside. You can drive, honk and listen to music. Yes, even flash when turning into the meeting room. Unfortunately, we cannot say that the driving characteristics can be compared with the real thing. Fortunately, we have not stopped with vans.
Effective through the office landscape
With a range of up to 12 km , you can whiz back and forth to the coffee machine and meetings throughout the day. And with a top speed of 20 km/h, you are guaranteed to be first in the canteen queue. Are you looking for something that will take you a little longer? ID. Buzz Cargo has a range of up to 423 km .
Keep the boss at bay
The office can be a risky place, with bosses and colleagues constantly sneaking up on you. With office assistants such as reversing cameras and 360° sensors , you have a full overview of all threats and disturbances. Are you more concerned about safety in traffic? Get a full overview of all our assistant systems here
Payload in the office
The chair has a handy storage space in the back of a whopping 0.005 m3 . You have space for both a laptop, annual reports and other office-relevant documents. If you need to transport extra documents from A to B, the chair is of course equipped with a trailer hitch .
Light up your dark everyday life vw office chair
LED strips characterize the entire exterior of the chair, giving it the recognizable Volkswagen look. With the main lights, you can light up even the darkest overtime evening. And should a work party suddenly break out, it is easy to become the center of attention with mood-creating party lights.
Despite the ID-like lights, it is not approved for use on the road
Just as planned.
Yes there is. You.

I mean, the Bain Capital method of taking over a mildly profitable company with private equity, loading it up with debt and destroying it makes some sort of sense, or so I am told. It’s a common enough move that there must be some logic behind it. Not sure lighting US$44 billion on fire is a great financial strategy at the end of the day though. But hey, it worked for The Joker!
I will remember General ‘Scary eyes Campbell’ throwing whole units under the bus regarding unproven allegations from Afghanistan, whilst simultaneously keeping his own DSC awarded for command of the Task Force at that very same time.
He should have thrown is own rank on the table and announced ‘accountability starts at the top’.

Many of us are living in a remote work world now, which means we now sit through endless video meetings instead of piling into boardrooms. Tesla hopes to turn your car into another meeting space, announcing that Zoom would soon come to its EVs’ infotainment systems.
The teaser video from Drive Tesla Canada shows a person using the feature while charging their Tesla, allowing them to make use of otherwise dead time. Sure, being connected to work at all times is unhealthy and annoying, but for some people, it’s impossible to avoid.
monty it’s the Tzeench method.

From the Comments
– Yeah. Nah. Stuff your apology where the sun don’t shine.
You deserve nothing but contempt. Spineless, ignorant a-oles.
– At least they had the good grace to apologise, unlike the bastard Dan
– I agree. People do a lot of things out of ignorance, and in this case it was state-sponsored / inflicted ignorance. I’m sure the business has suffered enough – time to let go. Dan Andrews, on the other hand, needs a serious comeuppance! As do his Health advisors (Sutton, et al) and the TGA.
– Most businesses were forced to exclude people blame dictator Dan.
Some chose to do it.
– Agreed, they needed to stand up last year, everyone’s a hero when the war is over.
– And look what happened to the ones that did

At 18, a lot of single young ladies are looking for the man she wants to spend her life with and this will make some eager to please, especially if an older man can offer her thrills that younger men can’t because of the financial stability young people in her age group haven’t yet achieved.

In a society that shames girls who poop, it’s no surprise Nadya felt embarrassed.
There is a tired, patriarchal narrative that girls must be clean and pure — but it’s 2022. All people, including hot girls, poop. And a large chunk of us have IBS too.
Besides being a hot girl with IBS, Nadya is also a Harvard graduate and the founder of PERIOD, a non-profit organisation fighting period poverty and stigma.
…
The #HotGirlsHaveIBS movement is ushering in a new generation of confident, constipated, cuties. Sisters who slay … while they slop.
…
If you think you might be joining the legions of hot girls with IBS, chat with your GP about a personalised treatment plan, and find out if it’s possible to access support from a multidisciplinary team.
You’re also welcome to join Nadya and me by sharing your experience with IBS on social media — after all, having your voice heard can provide a sense of empowerment.

Hey JC, do you own any Musk-related stocks? You probably should sell, if so.
Nope, never have as I’m an old fashioned dude.
You owned Meta at the top, right?
I don’t think I have ever owned stocks. I had some options for APN back when I used to work for them, but didn’t exercise them.
Property is where it’s at, anyway.
Well I was thinking the advertisers who have withdrawn may have shot themselves in the foot, after all there is apparently some purpose to advertising.

FL elections were cleaned up before DeSantis, which is why the 2016 and 2020 were were far cleaner and the numbers tallied on the night compared with 2000 and 2004 where certain Dem run counties tried to game the vote in their urban areas. The only way you clean up voting in states is electing state Governors and Secretaries of States that can oversee the vote, and enacting election laws that provide transparency and counter fraud.
Danxiety; n, an anxious state of mind incurred whenever Victorias Premier opens his mouth and throws debt funded money at people other than you, realising you are one of the few in the electorate who is forced to pay for this money laundering. Similar to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder however it is current and is not a disorder but a natural sane response to surrounding insanity.
Trump going the squirrel on DeSantis over on TruthSocial. Also calling out the Murdoch media for disloyalty. Lovely!
What on Earth Happened with Brazil’s Election?
mUnty. Stop it, you’ll go blind.
It’s really not DeSantis’ style to go toe to toe with the likes of Trump. He doesn’t have that sort of game, or if he does then he’s been hiding his light under a bushel. That’s what it’s going to take though, because Trump senses weakness like he did with Jeb! Bush and he’s not going to stop the insults.

I was thinking that if the Repub states get their act together with the voting, it could end up at the scotus forcing the demon states to clean up theirs. It’s a hunch but I think it’s possible to clean up this abortion. The scotus could act to demand transparency. I have read about this anywhere and I’m not a lawyer so I don’t know.
Vote harvesting could be deemed unconstitutional ?
For those of a conservative bent and who also enjoy cruising, here is Mark Steyn regarding his “annual” cruise:
We might have picked an Alaskan or Caribbean or St Lawrence or Mexican cruise, but, alas, all those involve an American port, and in order to enter the United States our non-US cruisers would be required to demonstrate proof of vaccination status. So we decided to spread our wings and book a cruise in the Eastern Med instead. And thus the first ever Steyn Mediterranean cruise will leave Trieste on July 7th 2023 and sail aboard Holland America’s ms Oosterdam down the Dalmatian coast to Montenegro and Santorini, before returning to Trieste on July 14th. And no Covid tests or vaccine passports required.

Labor has revamped Australia’s response to climate change and environmental degradation, redirecting nearly $750m in Coalition commitments, including some spending on gas and carbon capture and storage.
….
But at least its having an impact!!!
Carbon emissions from fossil fuels will hit record high in 2022
‘Bleak’ findings come from report at Cop27 that notes ‘no sign’ of urgent cuts needed to stop climate breakdown
…
Emissions from China, the world’s biggest polluter, will decrease by 1% in 2022, the GCP found, because of the country’s stringent Covid restrictions and a collapse in the construction industry. The EU will also see a similar decrease because the 7% rise in coal emissions has been offset by a 10% fall in CO2 from gas consumption after Russia invaded Ukraine.
In contrast, US emissions will rise by 1.5%, with a surge in flights largely to blame. India will have the largest rise, 6%. This is due to higher coal and oil emissions, and India now emits more than the EU overall – although emissions per capita remain much lower.
And the Immaculata dentata wants us to shovel more borrowed cash onto the pyre of the carpetbaggers.

You’re an American constitutional lawyer of high regard. Could Scotus intervene and stop vote harvesting and force more transparency?
Is that possible?
Would his contributions be missed if he didn’t show up?
Watch them ramp up the fear in Sheep by bringing back masks and ‘social distancing’. This is to get them to vaxxxxxxx. So obvious.
I have a feeling they will surreptitiously creep back since the platform is still the place for stuff to be posted. It’s accessible unlike Facechook and Instamash.
Unfortunately for them they’ve done great damage to themselves by flouncing off, as righties are quiet but extremely attuned to such things.

I’m assuming a case could come up challenging this postal voting en mass bullshit with the argument that it cannot be legitimate lacking transparency. Scotus could intervene if they believed voting wasn’t secure.
We are not even three days from the election. R has probably taken the House and Senate by slim majorities but we are still waiting for the results to firm. And there are people already actively campaigning against Trump, who wasn’t on the ballot (they also did badly in 2018 without Trump on the ballot), while not asking about the performance of the three Mcs, McConnell, McCarthy, and McDaniels, Senate Minority Leader, House Minority Leader, and RNC Chair respectively. Remember, mid-terms federally are House and Senate elections and yet the R minority leaders were largely invisible. Can anyone here recall any of their activities in the last few months?

Equally as impolite to mention is the easier tactic of putting holes in condoms or otherwise finding some way to actually get pregnant with a man who doesn’t want it. Definitely has happened.
It’s hole in the legal system that this doesn’t count as some kind of assault on par with “stealthing”.
Betting markets suggest demons take the senate and GOP gets the house.
I think they’d be inclined to but with state rights it’s a thorny path they’d have to tread to get there.
Republican law makers might have to come up with something to assist them before 2024.
I think that’s already under discussion.

On Trump v DeSantis, promoting this now given what I said above is self-defeating. That centre-right media and talking heads are supporting this is not a good sign. It’s not good for either candidate and suggests that they really have another candidate in mind to come in as the compromise candidate.
Would this be the same SCOTUS that refused to even ‘hear’ dozens of cases relating to the 2020 election?
“actually get pregnant with a man who doesn’t want it”
I think there is a much safer way to avoid this problem.
Incidentally no contraception method is 100% effective.
And DeSantis will get in and get steamrolled just like Trump was.
Put Trump back for 4 years…let the man loose. He now knows and understands way better than DeSantis what we’re up against.
Is he perfect?…nope…but he’s the best we have at the moment.
“actually get pregnant with a man who doesn’t want it”
Hmm, what happens if someone gets impregnated by a woman with a penis who doesn’t want it?
Such is the world we live in.

It would take a day to waltz through projects and harvest a thousand votes or more. It would take a week in the burbs. RNC doesn’t stand a chance.
“Anti-Musk Twitter activists running out of companies to harass after their woke and selective demands forced an advertiser exodus (11 Nov)”
Most of those advertisers will return.
Yes, because it’s a different issue. Intervening in an immediate election is not the same as intervening in the election process.
Some of us just like a good fight, and that’s exactly what the GOPe and the propaganda media are delivering for President Trump.

Domestic political difference here in a suite at a corporate-name hotel in Selma, Alabama. I am all for De Santis, and Hairy thinks the Republican narrative is calling for De Santis without ‘objective’ evidence that he would be as good as Trump, and he still stands by Trump. I say the Florida situation not just in the midterms but before it shows we have a winner there. Hairy says any talking of ‘healing divisions’ is Democrat-engineered spin, for all the Democrats we’ve spoken to who don’t like what is happening in their Party talk of ‘healing’ needed, without the slightest intention of changing their vote. I say a good Trump-style but younger Republican candidate would spin the idea of ‘healing’ towards policy changes that will be good for everyone and towards values that all can identify with ‘in the middle in some way’ (whether that’s true or not, it needs to be used as an attraction for the poorly informed). Lotsa way to go before 2024 though so we are not divorcing over it. lol. I shall make a Louisiana Gumbo, Cassie, onepot cooking, so it can’t be hard, and he can sort it out with you over that when we return. 🙂
I’ve told him he should read this thread.
We went firstly to the better one, the Hilton, on the river near the famous ‘bridge’ of Civil Rights memory, but Selma is such a rotten sinkhole around and about it we decided against booking in there (which is why we don’t book ahead) and took off back highway to the slew of accommodations there.

Healthy plant-based diets better for the environment than less healthy plant-based diets (10 Nov)
“Because human health ultimately depends upon planetary health, future U.S. dietary guidelines should include nuanced consideration of environmental sustainability and recognize that not all plant-based diets confer the same health and environmental benefits,” said Daniel Wang, assistant professor in the Department of Nutrition at Harvard Chan School, the Channing Division of Network Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School and co-author of the study.
We must believe Prof. Wang of the Dept of Nutrition at Harvard Chan School, the Channing Division of Network Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, since with that description he’s clearly an expert. May the most virtuous vegan win!

Oops, forgot to blockquote the middle para. I blame an inadequate amount of Gaia-friendly vegetables in my diet.
The fields were either tilled or grazed. The war changed all that, with the fields lying fallow and all the stock dead or moved.
Sure the nitrogen from high explosives might have made some difference if it transformed into a form that the plants could use. Otherwise it was just the simple fact of a load of ungerminated propagules waiting for the ideal conditions of churned soil, plenty of rain, no harvest and no livestock. Poppies produce huge numbers of seeds from one seedhead – multiply that by a single un-harvested season and you have the immense fields of poppies.

Lest We Forget
Three treads and two risers?
I’m with Hairy. The Dems stole the election, clear as crystal, and now the MSM is pushing the line that Trump was why the Republicans lost. That does two things: gets rid of Trump (with complicity of the RINOs, who are following the same line because they hate Trump and the GOP base/Tea Party, same as here with the Libs) and distracts from the real reason, which is the steal. It’s quite elegant really. Dems aren’t dumb, just evil.
