Correctomundo!! mspart

What does this mean? Is there a translator in the house? mspart

He is realizing that it was not the political haymaker he thought it was. And with the very short attn span of the US electorate, they will probably buy the snake oil that Biden has always been concerned with holding down illegal immigration, and that it was Congress' fault for not doing anything. Hopefully people are smarter and have longer memories than that. We can only hope. mspart

The detail to be looked at are the few swing states. https://www.270towin.com/2024-presidential-election-polls/ Michigan is 3.2% for Trump. AZ is 2.7% for Trump. NV is 6% for Trump. GA 5.3% for Trump. PA is 2.7% for Trump. WI is 1% for Biden. NC is 5.6% for Trump. This bodes well for Trump in the electoral college. This represents 176 electoral votes, if we eliminate WI because it is currently for Biden, that is 166 electoral votes for Trump in the swing states. He needs 104 from other states to secure the win. https://www.cnn.com/election/2024/electoral-college-map?game-id=2024-PG-CNN-ratings&game-view=map I can't get a picture but they have a map of the US and probable outcomes. Trump has 272 probable electoral votes and Biden has 225 probable electoral votes. Yep, if I was Biden I'd take NM1965's advice and just be overconfident. mspart

There is always give and take for anything. Lack of commute is a definite plus. Save a lot of money. On the other hand, the socialization aspect should not be ignored. It just isn't the same with IM, or email, or text, or zoom.

Yeah, we worked from home and then were told to work in office 4 days a week. We get to work from home 1 day a week. I resisted at first with the same comments braves is making. I have been out for 2 months working from home for the last 3 weeks. I can't go into the office so it is good to have this opportunity. But I am ready to go back in, I just need someone to take me as I can't drive anymore for awhile. I like working in the office. More and better connections with coworkers. But being at home once a week is nice too. mspart

yep, I see your point. mspart

It's almost like you haven't studied history. Lots of regimes have been overthrown when the peasants have had enough. France, South America, most of Africa, most of the communist world. And that is just recent history. It not like it has never happened, but it is impossible for this group to do so. Yeah right. mspart

That won them 74 out of 132 seats. So they figured out how to get enough people to vote for them, or it is dumb luck that they won a majority of seats with a 44.45% (you got it wrong) of the vote. That's 56.1% of the seats (a majority) with 44.45% of the vote. You should go there and tell them they are illegitimate since you are so against Hamas. See how that goes for you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Palestinian_legislative_election mspart

Boy that was a quick and concise description. mspart

See there you go again. Supporting Hamas. mspart

Yeah, judges in NY are not allowed to make political donations. Yet Merchan did. Also, he presided over other Trump allies' trials. The assigning of a judge is supposed to be random. Obviously not. They found the judge that they needed who illegally donated to Biden and democrats. And the assignment was not random. Even from that standpoint, this trial was a farce. Not to mention that no one still knows what was actually alleged and what the jurors came up with to convict on all counts. https://www.foxnews.com/media/cnn-legal-guru-says-new-york-trump-prosecutors-contorted-law-case-unjustified-mess Even CNN legal analyst Elie Honig did not agree with the premise of the trial. I'll leave it to you to read the article. It is not universally accepted that the trial was proper or fair. mspart

It can't be done. Water is see through you know. mspart

Use duckduckgo. Maybe you will get different results. mspart

First of many no doubt! mspart

So what you want is for Israel to go in and physically separate the civilians from the Hamas insurgents before killing the insurgents. Is that correct? And how would you propose to do that? It is even Israel's fault when it is Hamas' fault (recent 45 civilians die due to Hamas ammo warehouse exploding in a civilian area). If IDF forces hid behind Gaza civilians you would howl and scream that they are breaking international law. But you complain with Hamas does the same and civilians die in the process. There is no howling and screaming. You can't see the difference here I'm sure. But you can certainly say that IDF forces could use Gazan human shields the same that Hamas does. The difference is that IDF doesn't do that. But Hamas is not at fault for doing so. It is IDFs fault for targeting Hamas operatives and civilians die because the operatives use them as shields. Your position is logically illogical and makes no sense. If I was a civilian, I'd stay away from Hamas at all costs. Let them die. I don't want to die. Which begs another question that you don't bother to ask and I would be surprised if you would even come up with it. It follows and is a very easy point/question to come up with with the above line of reasoning. mspart

The Spam shelf? mspart

If ultra processed foods are not bad for me, what about just simple processed foods? Or Moderately processed foods? mspart

Methinks he doth protest too much. mspart

Perhaps, but to use the judicial system? That is taking it too far. Beat him at the ballot box. Then they can gloat. mspart

And you know this is true how? mspart

I did say you are free to deduce from that what you will. It looks like you deduced. mspart

I think the Patriots would disagree with you as Neal was highly skilled and was part of the wall of protection for the QB. It took him some time to get there, but he had played football before, so he at least had a small head start. Gable not so much but I hope he can transition. That would be a great story. mspart

Actually I remember the guys listed in bold. And I really don't pay much attention to basketball. mspart

Yes, wishing him the best. He has a 3 year contract. So he has time to get the skills he will need to continue on. Stephen Neal took a while to get there but became integral to the Patriots offensive line. Perhaps he and Gable will speak to each other. mspart
