  1. IDK, there were all sorts of stories during Trump's term about Pence - often casting him in a negative light. Fair game, I'd say. Also, I think Harris is a bad choice if she runs in 2024 (assuming Biden can't/won't) and in 2028. This could be the Democratic friendly media pushing for an alternative.
  2. Also, India is dirt poor. The more it modernizes, the more it's people will want Western luxuries, and energy use will go up considerably. Not to mention India is already an environmental disaster just based on the amount of pollution in the air and the trash it its rivers and streets. So to hold up India as one of the "good" countries regarding planetary stewardship is laughable.
  3. Eric Adams' suits are on point. ON POINT. Where does he buy his clothes?
  4. I hate being asked to stand up and be recognized for my service when we go to public functions, especially sporting events. It seems so unnatural and awkward. Listen: I didn't get shot at or lose a limb. I did once get a steam burn taking readings in an engine room though. Thank me for my service.
  5. I personally would not be a dumbass and show up to a riot, armed or unarmed.
  6. Does that apply to Grosskreutz, who was armed with a pistol when he was shot by Rittenhouse?
  7. I got the results for my antibody test back - 730 u/ml. For reference, I received the Moderna vaccine back in March, rode through my wife and daughter's COVID infection without getting infected myself, and as far as I know, haven't gotten infected at any other time in the last 6 months. My daughter meanwhile, had around 150 u/ml and that was from an actual COVID infection.
  8. Even if the judge were better, and the prosecutor wasn't trying to throw the case in favor of the Rittenhouse, I think Rittenhouse would still walk, given the evidence presented. Rittenhouse had no business being there. Neither did at least 2 of his victims who were not from Kenosha. The whole situation sucks, and he should probably face some weapons charges and such, but the evidence for murder is pretty murky.
  9. If you have time to decide, I'd recommend special ordering a car instead of buying one off the lot. Special orders are less susceptible to insane dealer markups, and some dealerships even make it a point to sell at MSRP for ordered vehicles. You'll have to wait though - I ordered a Ford Maverick back in June, and I'll be lucky if I get it in November.
  10. I bet Steven Avery (Making a Murderer) wishes this prosecutor was on his case!
  11. "We are not trying to attack the character of Mr. Rittenhouse, but we want to show the jury a picture of Mr. Rittenhouse with a bunch of Proud Boys at a bar 4 months after the incident." -The Prosecution
  12. There is NEVER an obligation to testify in your own trial. Doing so would violate the Fifth Amendment.
  13. Under normal circumstances, it's pretty ballsy to testify in your own trial. But considering that the prosecution is a team of banana peels, I think Kyle is going to walk free.
  14. It's also dumb to discount inflation, as it is hitting the poor and middle class extremely hard. Inflation could very well be a huge part of what decides the 22 and 24 elections.
  15. See, Mitch the Turtle was right about Garland! Imagine the limp wristed opinions he would have written if he were on the Supreme Court!
  16. I'm going to get my antibody levels checked today. It will be interesting to see where I stand with being ~6 months since becoming fully vaccinated with Moderna, and also being constantly exposed to my infected wife and daughter back in June.
  17. Maybe we need a highlander invent something to save the planet?
  18. The problem with algae, or pretty much anything that is NOT a tree, is that is after it dies, it decomposes, and turns back into CO2. Trees can lock the carbon into solid form for centuries whether the tree is alive or dead. Algae is important though, as it might become an alternative source of fuel that can replace gasoline or diesel. And it would be carbon neutral, too.
  19. I bought 30 shares of F last week when it was around $17.90. I'm up $60! This will totally erase my nearly 100% loss on Blockbuster liquidation stock I bought back at the beginning of the year.
  20. I didn't know who Travis Scott was, but his name isn't very rappish. The name sounds like country or easy listening rock or something.
