Now is the time for Europe to rally behind Ukraine. We really should have upped military funding and arms production in preparation for this outcome.

Either it's women using filters to touch up their images, or it's AI slop being pushed to artificially inflate app userbases and make it look like there are actually women on the platform....

Called it, using Allan Lichtman's own 13 keys principle (in ways that he himself overlooked), and on a heavily downvoted comment.

Where I was wrong was with how narrow the result would he. It wasn't even Gore v Bush levels of close unlike when Lichtman's 13 keys prediction previously failed. Kamala lost the popular vote to a convicted felon that tried to usurp democracy and is the reason why abortion is no longer a federal right. The Republicans spent the last few weeks crapping on Haitians and Puerto Ricans, yet won some districts with large Latino populations.

This is what happens when Democrats ignore their voter base and choose a cabal of unpopular and uncharismatic candidates to carry the torch. The bar is now so low that we need James Cameron to venture out into the Mariana Trench and lift it back up again...

Bernie Sanders

Pete Buttigieg

Or if they could have approached a very popular celebrity such as Dwayne Johnson or Taylor Swift and asked them to run.

Even Andrew Yang could have produced a better result if he made a better campaign pitch than focusing his solely on leftist pipe dreams that will bankrupt the country such as UBI.

I'd argue the opposite.

The fact that Americans are possibly still voting for someone who will bring in the Fourth Reich if elected, over the first female president is a sign of just how badly Democrats have dropped the ball. ESPECIALLY after Jan 6th.

Don't get me wrong. I hope that I'm wrong and Harris mops the floor with Trump, but the polls on 538 aren't giving me much hope

Anybody voting against Harris over Gaza is a moron. Trump may be even more pro Israel...

I mean considering the fact that he flashed himself to a 16 year old girl without any warning, I'd say that tattoo was well deserved.

That's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for them.

How much support is there for Trump in the military though?

I'm worried about the possibility that this kind of rhetoric could lead to an attempted coup or civil war.
