Nothing much has changed in America since the olden days when ranchers , their wives and families had to all have guns strapped on, rifles within reach, farm houses basically forts...for when the bad people arrived intent on evil...so they wouldn't perish in terrible ways.
Good people need to be armed to the teeth.

British Royal family is in mourning, one of the victims of the terror attack in New Orleans was the 31 yr old son of their long-term and much loved nanny.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -  Nearly 200 absentee ballots somehow went uncounted in Wisconsin s liberal capital after the Nov. 5 election, prompting state election officials to launch an investigation Thursday into whether the city clerk broke the law...


Huh.  The Right Wing electoral fraud outrage machine is weirdly silent about this.  Usually it only takes a ketchup stain on a single ballot in Bumfaecal, Idaho to send them all to Defcon 4 and have Trump shouting fraud on Untruth Social.

Republicans - Heads we won, tails you cheated!


About 6 in 10 Republicans said they have a great deal or quite a bit of confidence that the votes in last yeats presidential election were counted correctly nationwide, according to the poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. That is a sharp rise from about 2 in 10 Republicans who were confident in an AP-NORC poll in October. And about two-thirds of Republicans in the new survey said they were confident in their states vote count, up from about 4 in 10 before the election.
democrats lost everything in 2024.
Denying that only makes your recovery a longer journey.


Reading comprehension really helps.


Republicans lost in 2020 and spent the next four years trying to overturn the vote, trying to violently overthrow the government and throwing multiple scores of shit fits.
They swore the election system was terrible.
Until they won.

To quote the immortal Emily Litella, Never mind
Exactly.
The message of 2024 to the democrats by the voters, especially minorities.
The more you deny it the longer it will take for you to recover.
But , behave as expected from the back bench.

Da fuck are you talking about?
What democrats are talking about.
We got the shit kicked out of us.
What do we do now?

No shit, Sherlock.


What we will not do is piss, moan and LIE for the next four years about the results. Enjoy the next one and three quarter years.

A security/self-defence/home invasion expert says in a Youtube video that shotguns are best for defence in case of home invasions.
His advice is to go to a room, take cover and point the shotgun at the doorway, firing as the invader enters.
"Can't miss with a shotgun"...he says.

Well, yes, having lost an election Democrats are conducting a post mortem and looking at all possible reasons, and all possible strategies and messaging. All possible reasons, not just the one you p=ever.

Repos spent four years denying they lost and lying about it in a deliberate attempt to undermine public confidence in the vote. Because Democrats believe in Democracy, and Repos do not. Repos only  believe in power.

ROFL!

The Biden gang spent four years running the Country into the ground, disregarding the Constitution ( and losing in the Courts)
Every voter concern was ignored and their joke of a Presidential Candidate wound up defeated while the party ceded  full control of the Federal Government to the GOP.

China is making Electricity with Hydrogen now, everything is about to change with new technology...

The machine can use more than 30,000 cubic meters of hydrogen in an hour. https://link.ie.social/ii9tCN

Say goodbye to coal, and we need to start educating the former coal miners for the jobs of the future, and we need to train the children of the coal miners to be Doctors, Psychiatrists, and Dentists, etc. We can build a new Medical School in Morehead, Kentucky, which is the poorest part of Kentucky. And we can send cheap food from Mexico to Kentucky to feed the people while they all go to school and get job training, etc. Kentucky is doing the best the state has done in the whole history of Kentucky, so this is a great time to invest in Education, and in new Libraries, etc.

Bambu, Orianthi is there in Australia, she is visiting her family there and she is doing some shows, she is great at the Blues, and she does "If I Can Dream" by Elvis and she does it great. She also went on tour with Alice Cooper, and she is friends with Carlos Santana. Orianthi is great.

Salute,

Tony V.

A small disagreement: Many Repubs do believe in democracy.  Where a confusion arises is that many, AFAICT, define it somewhat differently (much as Athenians defined it differently)(or colonial era landowners, later, and so on).  THEY are the demos.  Their tendency towards nativism is coming from (for most voters) unexamined assumptions about who really belongs to "we the people."  I don't pretend I fully understand it, but it seems like a sort of regression that people fall into with very little real thought.

"Etihad plane wheel explodes in Melbourne...plane aborts take off.""

Charming.

What's going on?
Seems like every other day bits are falling off planes of some airline or other, or blowing up/catching fire.

Then there are the planes that are crashing.
