So... SCOTUS kicks the ball over to Congress (and unanimously, too!), Colorado gets denied. Much REEEEE-ing no doubt to ensue in the media. I'm getting the popcorn!

It's not Trump doing it. They are doing it. To themselves. Because they're corrupt. They try to get Trump for being corrupt -- and some segment of those accusations are probably even valid -- but they are far more corrupt than he is. They are so corrupt that they can't hide it. And they are...

The judge literally already declared what the judgement was going to be, before key witnesses were heard. That's not due process, and undeniable evidence of unacceptable bias. Which means that based on the most fundamental of legal principles, this whole thing should be thrown out on appeal...

New Amsterdam > New York > New Detroit. Fifty years hence, they'll have to rename it New Mogadishu.

A crazy left-winger taking a shot at Trump due to extreme TDS is by no means something we can rule out. I think @Cherico was thinking more in terms of "the establishment removing a threat from the board". This isn't exactly unprecedented, either. Consider the various sudden deaths surrounding...

You're the one mistaken about this matter; and this is precisely what I meant by that mental crutch that you lean on for some reason. You can't even imagine a US state standing on its own feet. You genuinely harbour the illusion that Virginia cannot manage what tiny Luxemburg can. Nations, by...

Oh, to be sure! And in the same way, many a European realises that the Euro-typical "social democracy" is a crutch that weakens us. Yet in both cases, regrettably, reason does not yet prevail in the face of entrenched interests.

Ehr... Bacle's argument was that "States will no longer need to match up to the syne wave of the national grid" if states run their own grids and you don't have a central authority commanding them, whereas my response is that it's insane for states not do what's practical and work together even...

Yes, it is a well-known fact that this happens daily in Europe, where every country has its own power grid, and yet the bordering countries have them connected to serve as each other's emergency back-up. Get real.

So? In Europe, we have EU psychopaths in Brussels who use this kind of 'logic' to centralise power in their hands. It's nonsense. Germany and Poland should be able to decide on their own policy. In addition to ensuring a free trade block (which is always the main thing), any kind of greater...

Why do these guys keep threatening us with a good time? :p

I'll be very happy to find out whether you actually mean it; since I must regrettably observe at this juncture that you've repeatedly pulled back in discussions, claiming to just be a nice fellow who wants to talk politely... and then a few days later, it's back to the previous tactics of...

As everybody knows, you (R) aren't allowed to have friends when you're in a position of responsibility because that's nepotism. You (R) must be a self-flagellating hermit, and then they'll still call you (R) a nazi bigot. But maybe they'll say some moderately nice things about you at your...

You're not trying to have a conversation. You're bent on repeating unsubstantiated claims again and again, while accusing all others -- regardless of what they believe -- of being a "cultist". You consistently make bad faith assumptions about what others believe; if anyone disagrees with you on...

That truly surprises me! In what I see from the USA, no masks are ever glimpsed. Perhaps it depends on where you are. But really, continued masking in America is very surprising to me-- here in the Netherlands (generally cursed with a far more docile populace), masks have become vanishingly...

The polls structurally under-estimated Trump, rather in line with the general media consensus. A consensus that continues to condemn and under-estimate Trump. Conclusion: there is no evidence of any kind that the bias has flipped suddenly. Therefore, if the polls are wrong now, "like in 2016"...

No, no -- it's what you want to go with. I'm just re-stating the implications of your argument, and apparently, you didn't think about them. The problem isn't "Trump people". The problem is people who are incapable of discussing honestly; who can only warp every argument to suit their desired...

You think Trump will do much better than the polls indicate, then? You know... :cool:

Certainly true! And let it never be said that the masses aren't fickle. I simply see no evidence that the majority of people dislike Donald Trump. For everyone who hates him, there's another that loves him. It's the guys in between who decide elections. And that doesn't necessarily mean...

Literally every major opinion poll on the 2024 elections has disagreed with that assessment for some time now. Trump currently has the lead in favourability, in all realistic scenarios. That doesn't mean you're certainly wrong. Unlike you, I don't presume to be omniscient like that; but it does...
