2024 U.S. Presidential and State election thread - I'm gonna... I'm gonna... VOOT!!! I'm VOOOOOTING!!!

Taurus is fine, but for just a bit more you can get an FN Reflex or P365.

There's no damn problem with Taurus and I'm sick of people that act like they're gonna be jamomatics, they're fine. But you might as well spend an extra $150 for a Sig or FN/

By the way 1000 pages in barely 3 days is wild. Fun to see.

There was a proposal in the early 2000s to send the milltiary paratrooper style with the idea of regular supply drops and a way to get back eventually being established. There was an entire airborne division willing to do this which is why it made headlines.

I fully agree with their logic. Human habitation on Mars is important enough to do as soon as it's possible. Even if there is a human cost it will be worth 1000 years later as it only has to be done once.

I don't think any other president is crazy enough to sign off on something like that except the one who established the space force to take over space.

I want my future children to grow up in a time where the romance of Space has returned and we return to a time of exploration

They had no fucking solution and they never intend to have one that isn't full-blown communism.

Thats it, want a solution to borders being open? well better dismantle cultural divides by accepting a global communist dystopia then or i guess it collapses, want to eat? better support communism then or else youll starve. people dont like being kept hostage to accept some random ideology that insanely thinks cultural divides are just a spook and you should dismantle your own culture or die and surrender all your agency to either a vanguard party dictatorship or a mob of aliens with nothing in common in an insane project to homogenize the world filled with vastly different ideas and peoples

 

[Ghostse]

Interesting, I've never read that. I'd have to be skeptical of that on the basis that Tunisia, I believe, wasn't a Roman territory until after the Second Punic War. Given that Scipio Africanus won that war, I don't see how he's born there. Could you be thinking of a later emperor or consul? Many of them were born in Hispania, etc, while their fathers were governing in the provinces, but they were absolutely Roman.

You're right, I had my hard pipe-hitting Roman fuckers mixed; I was thinking of Septimius Severus.

Again point still stands, they were born/raised in Africa but as you said completely Roman. Again, exactly in the way Elon Musk's family weren't jiggaboos despite him being 'african'.

Liz Cheney, for putting country above party

Still cannot understand Kamala allowing Cheney within 50ft of the campaign.

Outside of part of Virginia the Cheney name is electoral poison.

I'm ultra late and gay, but I finally got around to watching Biden's congratulations speech. The man seemed more alert, coherent, and happier than any time since 2020.

I'm starting to wonder if the speculations and memes were reversed. The drugs weren't to keep a senile old man functional, but rather to keep a functional old man senile. (For a given value of functional).

Having Harris take his spot gave him something he could channel decades of experience in fucking over with no repercussions. That face is the face of a very satisfied man and I'm happy he can be happy.

Biden's tone and appearance in that speech was that of a man who had the chains lifted from him, a man liberated, a man who has had a plan come together and loves it

Maybe the real Dark Brandon was the friends we made along the way.

I have heard similar things. I really don't mind, because the ethos of the company is something I agree with.
"You're poor and I love you."
Even with the stinkers, I view it as getting in on the ground floor and supporting a company that I believe 100 years from now will be a premier firearms manufacturer.
Early Colts made in workhouses had some lock up issues, too. I view all the money spent on it as helping prop up what will end up being a "big name" firearms company that hopefully will never stray from the ethos of "We want each person to be able to afford a gun that works. Is it gucci? Can it survive a 10,000 round burn down? Maybe not, but when you need those 30 bullets to go off without having to skip a car payment, they always will."

I just don't agree with this idea that price issues are solved by mass-producing mediocre polymer varmint rifles. The Taliban solved the gun ownership question by receiving AK platform (which they never clean or maintain), dressing them up in ceremonial moon-worshiper decorations and passing them like family heirlooms. Americans could probably do the same with Marlins, Winchesters and revolvers made a century ago.

its almost like not using literal slave labor costs more money.

Correct. There is no point in even trying to compete with it. Outsourcing to China was a mistake that cannot be fixed. Doing nothing about it is better than harming American consumers. China would adapt to the tariffs, anyway. They're the ones with the power to push their prices into the ground.

That can be offset by making it easier to start up new companies to make parts - and to encourage local production without tying it to sheboon quotas.

Trump is not Laissez-Faire. He's not going to gut occupational licensing, corporate taxes, environmental regulations, OSHA, the minimum wage, affirmative action, etc. If you remember, he was obsessed with niggers and nigger employment rate.

 

[D_Tractor]

I'm retarded, can someone redpill me on how Trump's tariff plans are supposed to be good for price reduction and curbing inflation? I've only read that it will drive up prices for the consumer, I haven't seen a refutation of this no matter how much I've looked. I like a lot of things on Trump's platform (like getting rid of tranny shit) but my number one hope for him was to fix the economy and I can't really figure out how he plans to successfully do that.

Just buy your chinkshit direct from aliexpress or DHgate instead of from Amazon. They will just mark the packages "gift" or value $0.01 and you won't have to pay import duties.

 

[UncleAdolf]

I didn't have a lot of confidence this will flip, but it was on my short list for most likely unexpected flips - as it had almost done so in 2020, lots of rural trump fans, people disgruntled with housing costs, general complacency among liberals here, and some people are still angry about their "experiment" with hard drugs years back. He is steadily closing the gap here.
The salt if there's a "Breaking update - Donald Trump has flipped Oregon" would be incredible. Harris' underperformance and Trump's overperformance vs 2020 + outstanding votes make this look possible right now.

 

[TheOtherSideofMakeBelieve]

Imagine these soy golems trying to figure out how to work a Keltec.

It's super easy all you gotta do is keep your booger hook off the bang switch 'til you ready to bring the hate

Nevada has finally been called for Trump giving over 300 electoral votes. 97% of Nevada's votes were counted with Trump having a +4 margin.

Space colonies are stupid and a waste of money. Imagine WANTING to blow billions of dollars a year so some soyentists get to study rocks on Mars. I'd rather have that money go back to the American people. Not to mention the other retarded flavor of space colonies where we get Epstein Island but IN SPACE.

Hey faggots. Remember when you were clowning on Trumpers when they did January 6th and continuously screech that the election wasn't stolen? Remember when you clowned on Trump for claiming he won't accept the loss of this election?

Why the fuck are you now bitching about this election being "rigged"?

Election deniers get shoved in the crystals first.

1000 pages in the fastest growing thread on the site, and we’re still waiting on House numbers.

Really don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but usually around the end stage of dementia the victim has one last moment of clarity. Like, they suddenly realize everything one last time before the end.

This woman?

I don't get it.

She's 55, so not old enough for you. Lol.

I think the only hot(ish) politician Arizona ever produced was Sinema.

She's a weird one though. She started out as SUPER lefty and then drifted increasingly right to the point where she changed her party to Independent and liberals here consider her a traitor. Apparently she's not gonna run for reelection.
