Maybe I should have laid in a case of Celebration Ale rather than a mere six pack.

We certainly can’t say it has been boring.
I threw an AR 556 in the bus today justin case. It's traveling with me from now to January with my 9mm pistola and many mags.
I agree I say we are truly F*CKed with the congress the white house and the SCOTUS all in the hands for the Repugnant Party being run by TOS and his watch dog Vance.Nomadsurfer wrote: Wed Nov 06, 2024 8:11 am Like many of us, I’m utterly disappointed.
However, I’m not going to mope, or lose hope. I’m going to focus on my closet family and friends.
When the wheels come off in the next year, I’m not going to help anyone who voted for him.
Sorry if that’s petty, but if that’s the country they want, they need to own that
I really should have a much worse hangover than I do. Lucky I'm on the West Coast where the number of drinking hours before the outcome was obvious is limited.papajim2jordan wrote: Wed Nov 06, 2024 8:25 am Looks like I picked the wrong election cycle to quit drinking.
Exactly my perspective. It was the Democrats election to lose and they did - Biden was a poor candidate and Harris was worse. Finally we can get on with it.featureless wrote: Wed Nov 06, 2024 9:16 am Whelp....
I'm extremely disappointed and not at all surprised. Turns out, primaries are important to the democratic process. It remains my opinion, as unpopular as it is, Biden should never have run for a second term and Harris was a shit candidate with no original policy ideas. The Dem party is 100 percent to blame for this loss, though I'm sure they'll blame Nazis rather than take the opportunity to self reflect. So too should the media.
We lived through the first 4 years. We'll make it through the next 4.
As for Alito and Thomas they will stay as long as they can Grifting every penny they can.Buck13 wrote: Wed Nov 06, 2024 8:34 amI really should have a much worse hangover than I do.

I'll bet Alito and Thomas are planning their retirement parties for late next year. We Are So Fucked.

Palestine defenders on Tuesday accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of swapping one "genocidal lunatic" for another after the right-wing leader fired Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and replaced him with Israel Katz, who was serving as foreign minister.
"Israel just doubled down on prolonging its genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza," journalist and genocide scholar Samira Mohyeddin said on social media following Netanyahu's moves.
Netanyahu cited what he called a "crisis of trust" that "gradually deepened" as his reason for the changes, which came as Israel is waging war on Gaza and Lebanon while bracing for Iranian retaliation for recent Israeli attacks on the Middle East nation.
"In the midst of a war, more than ever, full trust is required between the prime minister and the minister of defense," Netanyahu said Tuesday, according toThe Jerusalem Post. "This trust has cracked between myself and the defense minister."
Katz, a member of Netanyahu's Likud party, previously held several Cabinet posts, most recently as Israel's top diplomat. He was the minister of energy and infrastructure on October 7, 2023, when Hamas-led militants launched a surprise attack on Israel that left more than 1,100 people dead—at least some killed by fratricidal fire—and over 240 others kidnapped and taken to Gaza.
Two days later, Katz issued an order to "immediately cut off the water supply from Israel to Gaza."
"Electricity and fuel were cut off yesterday," he said. "What was will not be. All the civilian population in Gaza is ordered to leave immediately. We will win. They will not receive a drop of water or a single battery until they leave."
Katz's directive followed Gallant's order for a "complete siege" of Gaza.
"There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed," Gallant said. "We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly."
These statements by Gallant and Katz are cited in the International Court of Justice's January 26 provisional order for Israel to prevent genocidal acts in Gaza. Israel—which is on trial for alleged genocide at the ICJ—has been accused of ignoring this and subsequent orders issued by the tribunal.
On Tuesday, Israeli state media reported that the Israel Defense Forces has completed its division of Gaza into two parts, and that "there is no intention to allow the residents of the northern Gaza Strip to return to their homes."
My confirmation bias is strongly aligned with that article. Thanks for posting it. We get nowhere if we just continue to call the other side fascist. That may be true for some of them, but not the majority.jc57 wrote: Wed Nov 06, 2024 9:49 am This article on Counterpunch.org goes into depth on what specific voting groups went for Trump, where, and why. And yes, it is pretty clear that the reason the Democrats lost is not because people want a fascist, but that the Democrats did not come up with a candidate or a set of policies that people wanted to vote for.

Exactly, demonizing your opponent and calling them fascists and Nazis is just like school yard kids fighting. Poll after poll listed the same issues of concern to voters and Democrats ignored it, because "they knew" that abortion not the economy was the top issue. If Democrats remain the party of the elites that dictate their issues, then their future doesn't look promising.jc57 wrote: Wed Nov 06, 2024 9:49 am This article on Counterpunch.org goes into depth on what specific voting groups went for Trump, where, and why.
