Poll is just for shits & giggles!

In US history, only a handful of sitting Vice Presidents have been elected President, the most recent being George HW Bush 30 years ago. A Vice President almost always serves their term, then goes into the private sector, writes a book, or retires. They rarely have eyes on becoming President.

So, let's go back in time to 2020, when the Democrats selected Kamala Harris to be Joe Biden's VP. What was the Democrat's plan? Did anyone then think that Kamala would be Biden's successor as President? Or just be the typical VP and someone else would be the next Democratic Presidential candidate?

Please vote in the poll and offer a comment/opinion if you like.

I've seen a ton of talk about false accusations, and even saw one post today on the topic. One possible solution would be to give the accuser an option to drop all accusations prior to the case going to trial. It could be the accuser going alone into a room with a form that says "do you want to continue with the case" and if they decline, no questions will be asked, and they would also be exempted from charges for false reporting. Does this seem like a good solution?

One reasonable risk I see would be with legitimate victims being intimidated into dropping charges. But it also offers a good ''out" for false accusers to stand down and save the actual victim from having their lives destroyed.

It's been overrun by cats. I think that's awsome... cats need a home too. Save the cats! Cats rights!

Once an airbnb... just sold for 2.5 million. Pretty sweet deal...

Hope the cats can find good homes.

Trump says "whether the women like it or not, I'm going to protect them"

Former President Donald Trump said Wednesday at a campaign rally that "whether the women like it or not," he will "protect" them, noting that his advisers had instructed him not to use the line, which he said they deemed "inappropriate."

That 80% of employees do 20% of the work and 20% of employees do 80% of the work

Every other position stays the same but they adopt a moderately pro-choice standpoint like most of Europe has

FYI The "American Forces Network" online will show you what's playing worldwide if you want to see for yourself.

Now, first I realize it's VITALLY IMPORTANT that troops get news from home - it makes them less homesick and provides a sense of normalcy when you hear the Yankees collapsed in 5 games (Let's Go Mets)!

But should they be getting news from a network where the following happened:

"The hosts “have open access to spread their conspiracy theories to US troops,” VoteVet states. “And now we know they knew they were lies — just to boost their ratings in referencing Fox settlement of the Dominion Voting lawsuit of libel $800K for their "knowingly false claims".

In fact, Fox Broadcasting Company, LLC is a USA commercial broadcast television network owned by the Fox Entertainment division of Fox Corporation. As such, it avoids the stricter standards required of other journalism outlets.

In fact, during the lawsuit Fox Attorneys stated in the record:

The 'general tenor' of the show should inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary.' "

The Trump appointed judge then states: "Fox persuasively argues, that given Mr. Carlson's reputation, any reasonable viewer 'arrive[s] with an appropriate amount of skepticism' about the statement he makes."

She added, "Whether the Court frames Mr. Carlson's statements as 'exaggeration,' 'non-literal commentary,' or simply bloviating for his audience, the conclusion remains the same — the statements are not actionable as they are entertainment.

The decision specifically references Fox News prime-time hosts Laura Ingraham, Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity, each of whom was accused in recent court filings of knowingly spreading Donald Trump's false claims of 2020 election fraud.

So, should troops be watching "entertainment" as news? Purveyors of false claims, lies, misinfo & disinfo per the courts?

Have you ever heard or said that before? I was born and raised in Tennessee. I am amused by the different accents and dialects.

I have also heard "wash" pronounced "warsh" and "tire" pronounced "tar".

Is the illegality of their entry the issue, or is it the probability that they will vote for the people who didn't threaten and denigrate and abuse them? Of course, they don't vote at all, but the point seems to be to make people worry about it and then offer a "solution" in the form of deportation.

They said the same in 2020. Biden ended with 8-10 milliom more votes and locked in the electoral pretty damn quick. And trump is doing a fraction of the work this year because he knows it's lost.

He's already prepping for "its rigged! Campaign" Coming to you wherever dumb people are.
