Most books could and should be condensed by about 100x. Poor communication skills and zero respect for people's time.

You would just … leave them?
Or do what they did in subsequent murder attempts when there were survivors: pick them up alive and return them from whence they came.
Large numbers are not. But if you reran the 2024 election today you'd likely get the same result.
Nothing has happened to change anyone's mind. They were very clear about their priorities, and those who voted for it accepted that. And would again.
If you reran the 2024 election right now Trump and the republicans would lose in a landslide. Just look at recent polling and election results.

I don't know what you tell you if the systematic abuse of hundreds (some reporting does suggest more than 1000) children doesn't rile you up. The fact that it is nearly exclusively rich and powerful people who participated only amplifies the effect. Most of us are absolutely fed up with the two-tier justice system, where the rich, powerful, and connected get to do whatever they want, while regular folk continually have their rights eroded. The powerful are often able to divert our attention from the injustice of the rich/powerful by dividing the people with propaganda, pitting one side against the other. Turns out the Epstein situation is one of the rare cases where nearly everyone agrees. You should expect it to receive increasingly large amounts of attention until we actually receive the real info and heads roll.

Trump was the only one that testified against Epstein and witnesses, under oath, stated he wasn't with any of the girls on the island.
Esptein hating him is a good thing as I don't really think we should trust someone like him as a judge of character.
Seeing how trump has a colossal ego and loves to “win”, wouldn’t it makes sense for him to champion their release, exonerating himself completely, giving him a huge win and an opportunity to rub it in everyone’s face? Why is he fighting against their release so very, very hard?

If you are from a smaller state, you would think it would still make sense. Otherwise the rural concerns just get steamrolled by the urban concerns. The point still stands about trying to level out concerns between smaller and larger states, which is why it was created with years of debate and a majority even if it wasn't consensus.
I'm from a smaller state and I don't think it makes sense. I'll take tyranny of the majority over tyranny of the minority any day of the week.
kccoder commented on Grok believes Trump won the 2020 US Election twitter.com/krassenstein/... · Posted by u/bjourne
What Grok described is all true. All of these things did happen during the election. Many people would want to investigate this further, to find out the truth on the matter, but everyone that tried this got arrested or fired.
From the 'strange' coincidences of water main breaks in multiple large city voting precincts in the middle of the night to Judges changing the law to invalidate laws requiring signature verification (and then Democrats using signature verification to nuke their competition a year later, like in the Michigan Governor race).
At this point, it's over. We won't ever know the truth. I just won't support investigations when the person you don't want uses these same cheating tactics to win the next election.
Do you have reliable sources to support your claims? And if they cheated Trump of a win in 2020, when he had control of the government, why didn't they steal the 2024 election too, when they had control of government?
Because it's all nonsense. Trump lies about everything and will never be capable of admitting defeat on anything, ever.
You were duped, conned by an expert conman. You're not alone.
Divisiveness and extremism from both parties, when moderates are badly needed. On the issue of the shutdown specifically, there was some belief that Democrats (Schumer in particular) would approve a CR (resolution to fund the federal government) after the second “no kings” protest or perhaps after the election, like maybe it was a political tool they wanted to use for election gains. But it seems they’re content with just letting the shutdown continue indefinitely unless the COVID era “temporary” expansion of ACA subsidies is extended - which is effectively trying to make it permanent.
The establishment dems are moderates. Frustratingly so. What we need are politicians who support regular citizens over the rich and corporations. At least the dems are fighting for something that helps people in need vs the republican’s BBB.
The current administration won the vote. And in fact the continuing resolutions that would fund the government have majority support in both houses of Congress, by the representatives of American citizens. But it needs 60 votes in Senate not just 50 votes. Right now most Democrat senators (all but 3) are voting against even a clean funding resolution that makes no changes to the pre shutdown status quo.
They did win the vote and once they started enacting their agenda people decided they didn’t like what they saw which led to the results last night. Trump won because people were misinformed, uninformed, or simply lied to by Trump and his machine.
