Just confirmed with the Hausfrau who pays this bill that Washington Post would be dead to us if they didn't endorse Harris.

Also

Apparently the Washington Post is not endorsing. WTF? I'll drop that rag if they don't.

I believed to my core that Romney was going to win in 2012 because of what I had been told by "credible" RW media.

I'd prefer not to go down this road. The idea that we are legitimately considering the death camps Trump has planned for us...yikes. I play a lot of casual war games and most of those simulate to some extent WWII. What they NEVER can simulate with any rationality is the effect of the Holocaust on the Nazi war effort because how could there be rules for a nation diverting its rail stocks and significant manpower to the purpose of slaughtering its own population. They also fail to simulate that there could even be . . . benefit to the overall war effort to having motivated workers who do not want to be starved and slaughtered. There is a reason the Allies swamped the Axis and for example the British were able to rapidly replenish their RAF units during the Battle of Britain...the entire island was on a maximum effort war footing. Maximum effort meant exactly that and people didn't even know about the Holocaust then. l also consider that many war gamers are cosplaying their autocratic fantasies about how Rommel or Guderian or (worse still) Sepp Dietrich could have pulled "it" off if Hitler left them to their own devices and they just don't want to think about the cost to the war effort of the German side of that monstrous wastage of resources and lives.

I think about this and I remember that when abortion was put up for a referendum in Ireland all sorts of women flew back into Ireland from around the Globe (even though they could vote absentee) just to cast their votes in person to strike down the antiquated system which had governed their bodies and their mothers' and grandmothers' bodies. EDIT: I was wrong that absentee voting was allowed. Irish Expats Travel Home to Vote on Abortion Referendum - The New York Times (nytimes.com)

I would prefer the term: Global Warming Beneficiary Belt

Point being that the term Rust Belt is demeaning.

Good news from this one. TIPP Tracking Poll Day 11: Harris Extends Slim Lead To 3 Points In Heated Race (tippinsights.com)

BTW, Quinnipiac refers to the Great Lakes as the Rust Belt in their press release. Should we refer to upstate NY as the **** belt?

ICP is a huge get.

i’m not over this

nobody in the dictatorship is more powerful than the dictator. He would sick his minions on the company trying to reign in his worst impulses. "Let Trump be Trump and America is free"

Why would they kill their workforce? No, we are very safe in this work camp.

Or similar

I had considered doing a paper on the value of The World at War as history. The Traudl Junge who appears in that interview is fascinating. Ditto the Albert Speer and Admiral Karl Doenitz interviews.

the next pandemic is right around the corner.

I was expecting some sort of Kurt Vonnegut-esq posts to this thread premise. Alt. Some sort of Cristopher Nolan plot hole nonsensical-on-first-third-viewing time shifty stuff.

The number of people in government who would not work for him will be shocking. People need a paycheck, have mortgages, etc. But, the absolute horror of being among the Eichmans who would emerge in that MF's government will force out a lot of talented people.

Mercedes is a beard

Also bad
