2024 ELECTION THREAD
The next presidential race will be here soon! Please see current Bovada odds. Thoughts?
But wouldn’t capping students prevent lot of students debt creation in many unprofitable fields :p
i realize you're probably trolling, but a well maintained and stored firearm can last centuries and still be functional - there's also a massive industry of gunsmiths who repair and restore old guns
And how many people will properly store guns? Gunsmiths can be regulated etc etc. So easy to actually fix, no apparent will to do so in America.
Kamala Harris won the debate!!! It wasn't even close. Wow. Errr I mean Kamala Harris won the June 27, 2024 debate between Jot Biden and Donald Trump on CNN.
voter intimidation
State police are showing up at Florida voters’ homes
to question them about signing a petition to get an
abortion rights amendment on the ballot in November
the latest efforts by Florida’s Republican elected officials to
leverage state resources to try to block the abortion rights measure
DeSantis defended police visiting the homes of petition signers
Real freedom !

The party of small government strikes again

I thought this was a dumb meme but all the top comments are very serious.
"I wouldn't eat a cow in India"
Best and brightest
vast majority of gun owners properly store their guns
as for gunsmiths, well... regulating meth oddly hasn't stopped meth cooks, they aren't like "no man, i'm not going to make meth anymore because it's illegal"
How many more people though would be cooking meth if it were legal? I know I would.

So are you in favour of making meth legal cos people will ignore laws so why not?
imagine luciom on meth
chance of getting caught is extremely remote, if you do small batches for personal use or selling to a single trusted individual then your risk of getting caught is minimal
have at it, you got my approval
Do you guys ever type about the election in the election thread?
Trifecta? Thanks Obama.
If Kamala Harris wins election then this will be there first time I can think of in which a president picked a vice presidential running mate that ending up winning an election and then picked their own vice presidential running mate that was then elected president. The only thing that comes close is going all the way back to the beginning and George Washington had John Adams as vice president and Adams won election and then Adam as president had Thomas Jefferson as vice president and then Jefferson was later elected president. But Adams didn't pick Jefferson as vice president. Back then whoever came in second place became vice president and that is how Jefferson was vice president to Adams....
But Obama spun this magical spell of picking Biden who picked Harris. Again, thanks Obama.
When I was younger I believed this. Then I grew up and see the damage alcohol and legalized weed has done.
I see the benefits of legalized alcohol (not of marijuana which is illegal here), which are manyfold, starting with "far less money for organized crime".
And far less money spent on incarcerating people, and so on.
Freedom can be damaging for people who aren't good at using it. THAT'S OK. It's a filter, let them fail. The rest of us can move on without them.
Mark Robinson’s candidacy has gone from bad to worse — and it could hurt Trump
God calls men, not women, to lead.
LGBTQ+ people are “demonic.” They’re “filth,” they’re “maggots.”
Women get abortions because they couldn’t keep their “skirt down.”
Some folks out there “need killing.”
In 2022, after years of anti-abortion statements from Robinson,
we learned that he paid for his wife’s abortion in 1989, before they were married.
That’s hard to stomach from a man who’s supported a complete abortion ban,
called abortion doctors “butchers of humanity,” and shamed women who need reproductive health care.
Robinson also has touted himself as a small-business owner who believes in
personal responsibility while slamming people who take government “charity.”
But his background includes multiple bankruptcies, five years of unfiled federal taxes
and a day care business that was cited numerous times for violations
of state standards that are meant to keep children safe.

The closest I can think of is Eisenhower --> Nixon---> Ford. But Nixon didn't really pick Ford as a running mate and Ford was never elected. Morally you can say Reagan--->HW Bush---> W Bush is a similar (if disastrous) parallel.
Trump leans into extremism
the resurrection of holocaust denialism adjacent to the Trump campaign
MY LATE FATHER was ordered into Dachau one week after its liberation and he told me what he saw.
It was VERY difficult for him to tell me these stories, and when I saw how upset and sad
it made him, I never asked again. My father asked me that day to make him a promise.
He said this:
"If you EVER see what happened in Germany starting to happen here, promise me you
will NEVER remain silent and you will fight for all you are worth to stop it. Promise me."
Holocaust denial is a crime in Germany.

That’s hard to st
Robinson is polling disastrously at like -11 in a purely purple state which helps you understand why he is trying "hail Mary" obscene things, he is probably going to try to cash in his "purist extremist" persona he is building, after he inevitably loses the elections.
He isn't even talking to voters anymore is my guess

You've watched too many Hollywood movies. Alcohol consumption drastically decreased during prohibition, it also drastically increased when prohibition was ended. Alcohol is a huge drain on society and resources. Most crimes, murders, domestic violence, traffic accidents, etc. are caused by alcohol while wiping out ~10% of the population with alcoholism.

Wow. Having witnessed your posting on this forum for some time, I was pretty sure your takes could not get any worse, and yet here we are.
