We're a net exporter of our own beef and import a huge amount of beef from elsewhere. I would much rather he work with RFK Jr to make American beef sold primarily in the states so Americans can access inexpensive local options and help directly support American ranchers (which is a dying breed due to how tough of a job it is with such thin margins). Fuck Argentinian beef. I want American beef for Americans and other countries can fuck off so our ranchers can flourish.
RFK Jr would be happy too since eating local means less emissions due to transport. Better for the environment if you're into that.
I bet you we could eat all the beef
 
"You know who else advocated for healthy eating? The Nazis!"

Hmm these so-called Nazis want clean air and water, want Americans to eat healthier, want America to be energy independent, and want to keep boys out of girls sports...maybe they aren't so bad


I assume the context here is that Bucks County is reliably Republican?

Looking at the stats on Bucks County, they used to be pretty reliably Republican, but the county itself has swung Democrat for every presidential election since 1992. They do still lean Republican in other ways, the sheriff is Republican and most of the main county officials are Republican. Their district representative in the House is also Republican.
 
I know we just had a whole thing about X posts, but I feel like this is important. I am working on scraping the directory tree now and I'll wrap it up in a tarball and post it, probably here. It'll be interesting to see what was going on.

Does anyone have a single zip/7z file for this? I've tried archiving it but the fuckhead A) put it behind cloudflare so none of my archiving tools work B) didn't archive all the files themselves. Fuck you dipshit.
 
UPDATE: It's about halfway done. About 4.5GB now and I still have to get images and I'm guessing that it'll be about 9GB altogether. @Useful_Mistake. Should I let Josh know ahead of time?
Let him know ahead of time? Fuck that! Let him wake up to someone uploading a 9GB file.

I see a lot of YouTube links get posted here that I can't watch because they are age-restricted and I don't have an account. Is there a way to get around this that I'm not aware of?
Doesn't the message say that you can only watch it on youtube? You can't even watch it if you click on it, which sends you to youtube, without an account? I'm sure you could, in the past.

If it's age restricted you need to be logged in so that YouTube can verify the age.
Preservetube might get around this? I'm not sure. But it's another reason to archive.
 
I'm used to "sugar". Interesting how areas of the south have their own dialects and verbiage. No pardon needed--I was just curious. The only other time I've been called dear is when Nigerian princes try to woo me with their unique and totally not scammy charms.

So on a scale from 1 to Keith Olbermann, how panicked do you think Kamala's campaign truly is? Are they actually seeing reality, or is this just the media trying to stir up Dem panic?

Oh they're scared. They're legitimately fucking scared. Particularly because the idea that calling your political opponents "istaphobes" isn't exactly working anymore. People are beginning to see through that tactic and it's bouncing off the common folk like bullets bouncing off of 1950s Superman. People no longer care anymore. They're still a little hesitant about wearing MAGA gear in public (because that shit can get you shot in some areas of the South, but I think wearing merch like that is gay and retarded), but no one's afraid of actually defending Trump anymore. The tide is turning, and people are fuckin' pissed.

Honestly, I think it's a little bit of both. The media is going to be the main enemy in this fight, but some Dems are finally starting to come around about how awful their leadership is.
 
Watching these really long lines in Pennsylvania make me wonder what it's like to vote their. Where I voted they had 5 people processing people, with probably 25 booths to vote at. There was no long lines, everyone got their ballot quickly. I don't get how this is so hard for some areas.
It depends on how the state defines early voting. It looks like in PA early voting is on-demand vote-by-mail so if you are in-line to early vote, you basically have to go through the whole vote-by-mail process, get verified, the poll worker has to generate the correct ballot, you vote, and immediately hand it in.

Mild powerlevel, I was there about two weeks or so ago. Saw alternating Trump and Harris signs (skewed either way depending on the town). A white truck with what looked like an American flag had Harris banners on it. I suspect a lot of Trenton workers and officials live there. Why there? Same reason a lot of New York big shots have homes in Alpine.

I am just a bit confused. If the county trends Democrat during presidential elections, extending its mail-in days seems to be a bit of an own-goal for Republicans.
