We already started during this year. No sane leader trusted in a coin flip to guarantee our security. A possible Trump presidency was planned for.

giants existed and were romanian

Wait, what? I didn't see any giants in my high school. Are they invisible giants or something?

Also, where were those giants during the 2nd Dacian war? Romans must have been superheroes or something to take on giants and win.

The optimistic alternative is EU countries scale up their military production and cover the gap. We were already seeing a ramp up, but it'll have to accelerate.

Downside for the US is later down the line, exports will go down as the EU will have more domestic manufacturing.

American voters in general dgaf about things that don't affect them. Israel is irrelevant to your median American voter.

It really was (or at least the Democratic party's fault). If you take every single third party voter, assign them to Kamala, she still loses.

This is more about ramping up domestic arms production to fill the gap that is going to come from US production no longer going to Ukraine.

When I’m driving, it’s actually unsafe for my car to be operated in that way

being able to consistently and reliably operate the thing without taking your eyes off the road

Considering they'd just spent the previous few questions discussing the visual-first aspect of touchscreens and accessibility issues for the visually impaired, I think that's exactly what they were talking about.

The generalizations are about completely different devices. They talk about CT machines & automatic defibrillators later.

Apparently reading so many bad takes over the last few years has destroyed my ability to detect sarcasm. Sorry about that.

If you mean added to the bible after the council of Nicea decided on the contents of the bible, no. The bible, both old testament and new, is very explicitly pro-slavery.

Ephesians 6:5

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.

On top of all that, I honestly can't conceive of why he'd prefer Trump. People like him care about one thing: money. A Trump economy attempting to create autarky via blanket tarrifs would annihilate his investments.

He has no major outstanding court cases he needs protection from and no major government contracts in danger (in either case, Trump might be more useful since he's very bribable), which means the only selfish logical choice for him is Kamala.

Also, look at her counsel. My brother's wife's hairdresser's mechanic said that there's very big questions about where Chewbacca's from. He hasn't even released his birth certificate!
