Good for her for going out in public and reinforcing the message. She rocks.
I’m going to reiterate this because everyone needs to be clear on this:
I’d just like to mention that this is strictly for the R *primary* ballot, just like the Colorado primary ballot.
IF Trump wins the R Nomination *nationally*, this DOES NOT mean he will not be on the State Presidential ballot in November (for both Colorado and Maine).
It seems to be different animals, but I don’t know why.
If someone wants to jump in, please do so.

The reason it’s a different animal is that primaries are state run while the general election is covered by the US Constitution. The flip, even though it won’t happen with the Republican party the way it is, is that he could win the nomination and actions by the federal government remove him from the national election.

$5 that Susan Collins is very concerned….
The only thing Collins is concerned about is how many lies she has to tell Mainers to get re-elected so she can pack the courts with more assholes from the Federalist Society.
So after today your top GOP Presidential options are:
-Nikki Haley, doesn’t believe the Civil War was just about slavery
-Ron DeSantis, said in July blacks learned job skills during slavery
-Trump, would love to reinstate slavery

Maine voters should decide who wins the election – not a Secretary of State chosen by the Legislature.
The Secretary of State’s decision would deny thousands of Mainers the opportunity to vote for the candidate of their choice, and it should be overturned.— Sen. Susan Collins (@SenatorCollins) December 29, 2023

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
Vanity Fair hits the Kennedy family’s Cape Cod compound for a peek into the controversial 2024 candidate’s wet hot American summer.
by Joe Hagan
vanityfair.com
In a time when both the far left and far right find common ground in a paranoid distrust of power, when faith in institutions is at an all-time low, here stands Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to unite the people in their mutual distrust of everything—if only the damned reporters will report what he’s saying, or report what he means to say, or report what he’s decided to say on any particular day. I think of our mutual friend Peter Kaplan, onetime editor of the New York Observer. Kennedy says Peter would have been “depressed” by the state of the media if he were alive today. Sure—aren’t we all? But he, like many of Kennedy’s oldest and dearest friends, would have been downright heartbroken by the state of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Did he like him? No.
So I’m pretty excited for a potential upgrade to the groove pit. We have a couple hundred CDs between us, my wife and I, and they’ve been sitting in the garage unplayed for over a decade. We thought it would be good to create a music center in the new place but need a stereo system. Today we were shopping for some household items (bedside tables for phones and lamps, pots and pans for the kitchen, etc.) and we scored bigly. The Scandinavian Design clearance store had the bedside tables we wanted, and I got the woman to knock an extra $10 off the already discounted price for each by simply being polite and asking. Then we stopped at Harbor Freight so i could pick up a few tools, and after that we were off to Costco via Marshall’s for cookware. Marshall’s had everything we wanted, Viking stainless sautee pans and a sauce pan, and a Lodge cast iron skillet for $20. Win win…oh, and the missus found a SMEG kettle for “only” $120 - which is about half the retail cost and she loves the brand - so win win win.
Oh, so the stereo system. We were at this place called “Pick of the Litter” - a second hand store that supports cat rescue - and I saw a Sony 5 CD carousel for $20 and a Kenwood ampliflier for $40. I said, “All we need are speakers and we’re set…” and then behind my wife I saw some solid wood stereo speakers but they were $120 for the pair (still a great deal). I went up and asked the ladies at the register if I could make a deal if I bought everything together and they said that wsa a firm NO. Fuck…still under $200 so I was about to say I’d take it and one of them said, “But tomorrow is Friday and electronics are 50% off on Fridays.”. So, assuming nobody went in today and bought this fuckin’ steal for the current price, I’ll be waiting by the doors when they open to pick up a full console stereo system for under a hundred bucks.
Pics to follow if I’m successful.

I so need a new computer. I’ve been wondering if the reason I can’t get Bsky to work for me is that the web page is trying to do something that my old web browsers cannot do.
So I’ve been looking at Macs and while I want a desktop… those Apple displays are priced like they are made with precious metals (which I guess they kind of are, but in miniscule quantities.)
Have thought of going with a really big display (like 40” or 48”) but I decided that I sit too close to the display to make them work.
A 32” display is also probably too big. But Apple’s 6K XDR display looks good… and it costs (with stand) $6k, unironically. That amount of money will buy you a small, old house in some parts of this world.
First world problems… I know. But my eyes are getting old and I need a display that is exceedingly clear.

Isn’t the point of an operating system to interface with the system?
Everyone has what they define as easy, because everyone has different ideas of what they want to do. I totally get that. For me, having the the widest range of choices in what I want to install but having them work without me having to do a lot of configuring makes Windows the best choice for me. I want to install a new video card, I put it in and run the install software if needed. I want to do the same thing for a new network printer, same deal. And they work. I want to write Python, I install it, and whatever development tool - generally VS Code - and it works.

Always at least one person comes down in the dead of night and wants to plead their case about why they need to either have some billing issue resolved or some charge removed when I’m exactly the wrong person to be talking to. Even if my coworker told them earlier in the night to speak with management in the morning, they’ll still venture down here if only to look for somebody at the front desk who will agree with them in the belief that it’ll give their pleas greater weight or that we’ll argue on their behalf.

How desperate are Tories to prove that Brexit has been a success? They’re hailing that British wine vineyards will now be able to sell “pint” bottles of wine…which is something no Briton has asked for since they can just as readily go down to the store and buy a 500ml bottle instead.

Which just highlights the vast age gap in political views, like in the US. This crap resonates with a bunch of calcified 70-year-olds mad at the world for changing, but nobody else cares.
And, like the US, the progressive elements seem to significantly overestimate how popular this sort of historical revanchism is to the electorate in general. You’d think Labour’s position at this point would be “fuck this disaster, we’re going to rejoin the EU or at least be Norway”, but nope.

re: #53 ericblair
True, but Labour has Brexiteers of their own. How much influence they wield is debatable (I don’t think it’s all that much, that’s more the hard-left of the party) and it seems to me that either re-joining the EU, or at least something along the lines of a Norway-style arrangement, would appeal to younger voters (as well as older demographics that voted to remain).

The hard left were for Lexit because all that icky EU neoliberalism would interfere with The Revolution (when it happened). However, ever since Brexit actually happened, it’s been a nonstop conveyor belt of every right wing wet dream to dismantle the state and punish foreigners.

re: #57 ericblair
There were some musical artists who supported Brexit (I’m looking at you, Bruce Dickinson - he’s a smart guy, but maybe international politics is a bit outside his grasp) who are now left grumbling because that easy freedom of movement to EU member states is no longer so easy.
I would think that exemptions for touring artists would’ve been acted upon…but I wouldn’t be surprised one iota if the Brexiteers somehow forgot about that.
re: #58 Dr Lizardo
It’s still a mess, and foreign musicians need expensive and complicated visas to work in the UK. Brexit was not developed as a rational system to solve existing problems. It was an internal Tory power move that became a revanchist tantrum which the UK fell into backwards. Everything about it was politicized and made into loyalty tests so a lot of competent people up and quit, leaving the incompetent loyalists to manage a hugely complex system. Badly.
An interesting year-end coda:
DNA evidence has led to the identification of a California woman more than half a century after she went missing.
Donna Lass, a 25-year-old casino nurse, was last seen in the South Lake Tahoe area on 7 September, 1970 walking near an apartment she had rented the day prior, according to a February 1971 news clipping provided by the Placer County Sheriff’s Office.
She was last spotted with a “young, blonde man,” the article stated. The 25-year-old left behind a bank account, a new car and a “large wardrobe”.
The case had gone cold ever since.
________________
The sheriff’s office announced on 27 December that there was a DNA match between genetic evidence found on the skull and DNA from a member of Donna Lass’s family, which police had obtained for the missing person case.
The skull was identified as belonging to Lass.
_______________
One theory that has been circulating for half a century is that Lass was a victim of the Zodiac Killer. The Sacramento Bee discovered a San Francisco Chronicle article published in March 1971 related to the Lass case. The publication was sent a “cryptic message” allegedly from the Zodiac Killer, which seemed to suggest that “victim 12” could be found “around in the snow” near Lake Tahoe.
The Chronicle also mentioned that police at the time considered Lass’ death to be a result of “foul play”.
At least she’s been officially identified, though the authorities don’t know the manner of her death - and certainly don’t know whether she was a victim of the Zodiac Killer.
The unsolved Santa Rosa Hitchhiker Murders have been rumored to be connected to the Zodiac as well…though in all fairness, the 1970s was a bit of a golden age for serial killers, so quite honestly, it could’ve been anybody.

The hard left position in the UK with regards to Brexit is in a lot of ways like that of the hard left here in the States with regards to “border control”: That domestic businesses being able to import “cheap” labor from abroad had eroded the bargaining power of British workers and was holding down wages, and that if free movement were ended by the UK leaving the EU then those British workers would swiftly see the power they held and band together to demand higher wages. It’s why Bernie Sanders and Jeremy Corbyn sound a lot alike when talking about immigration, both trying to rationalize support for draconian immigration controls by arguing that it’s for the benefit of domestic labor.

It’s been an utter disaster, but like their counterparts on the hard right they’re too busy trying to BS people that all the negative consequences of Brexit were in fact caused by COVID or inflation. Based upon public polling, nobody’s buying it.
re: #60 Dr Lizardo
Forgot to add that I highly doubt that Ms. Lass was a victim of the Zodiac.
The day after she disappeared, a still-unidentified male called both her landlord and the place where she worked (a casino) and let them know that she had a family emergency and wouldn’t be around for a while.
That implies (to me at least) the caller was someone she knew, someone who figured she’d be missed and was trying to give himself a head start in making a clean getaway - and on that count, I’d say he succeeded. At the time, the cops dismissed the call as a hoax, but in retrospect, it seems like that call may have been an important clue.

Dell tends to cram all their stuff in towers that are too small to upgrade to better graphics cards, for instance.

The hard left position in the UK with regards to Brexit is in a lot of ways like that of the hard left here in the States with regards to “border control”: .
The “hard left” in the UK is fourteen people. You can see them sometimes at a protest waving twenty “Socialist Worker” flags. Okay, there’s a lot more “hard left” voters if you look at it from the US perspective but in the UK’s political spectrum the “hard left” doesn’t really exist. Senator-for-life Bernie Sanders is a wet Tory in UK terms, he doesn’t even make it into squishy Lib-Dem territory and a left-oriented party like the SNP would kick him out the door.
What does exist in the UK is a lot of racist sexist xenophobic working-class people who voted Labour quite consistently, and they were quite willing to support Brexit to send the Polish plumbers and Romanian care home workers back where they came from. They hate immigrants and asylum seekers and P**** and N**-N*** and J*** and anyone who isn’t established for three generations in their little closed communities. Think deep-in-the-woods Appalachians but urban dwellers.
The strongest pro-EU area in England is London, oddly enough, probably because of business and trade which is concentrated there for various reasons. Labour holds most London Parliamentary seats and most of the local councils.

Very large air attack last night in Ukraine, apparently the biggest of the war. Seems to be all civilian targets. I assume the Russians think military targets are too hard to hit, and they’re trying to terrorize Ukraine into surrender. Some talk of this being revenge for the ship a few days ago, but the Russians must have been stockpiling for this attack for a long time (and probably gave it about all they had).
Besides being a war crime, targeting civilian instead of military assets means that the military assets are still there, unlike, say, Russian ships, fighters, oil and ammo dumps, and factories.

I will always remember landing in Barcelona a couple of years ago. The non-EU passport line at customs was loooooooooong and sloooooooooow.

About two minutes later, they came walking back and got in the end of our, now much longer, line. They were no longer smiling and laughing. Brexit!!!

Yeah, their latest bitching fit this week: “The EU left us out of their big infrastructure project! They’re punishing us for leaving!”
Bear in mind that many of the people who believe this had nothing to say about the Tories canceling their only major infrastructure project, constructing a high-speed rail line to connect Northern cities with London to (among other things) help people in places like Birmingham more readily find jobs down in the South. But not to worry, the Tories have announced that the money “saved” is going to a good cause: resurfacing thousands of miles of road in Central London.

I have a PhD. I, literally, did my own research. I studied, in class and by writing, for six years prior, to adequately understand the field of knowledge as it currently was. I had the resources of a research university, a supervisor who I worked for and with to shape my work and pull me out of a few dead ends. My work was rigorously and painfully evaluated by peers. That’s how you do your own research.
There are plenty of people with PhD’s who support Trump and/or who opposed the mRNA vaccines. We also have Bret Weinstein and Heather Heyring, who should know better. So there’s that.

This is what the GOP house is supporting by withholding aid to Ukraine. They need more Patriot systems for defense and more long range ammunition to hit Russian stockpiles where they are.
re: #97 darthstar
They need long-rage munitions to not only hit Russian ammo stockpiles, but also the factories where those munitions are produced. Intermediate range ballistic missiles would be a good choice (as Czech President Petr Pavel suggested earlier this year).
And yes, those factories are legitimate military targets. As are the Russian MoD building, or Southern Command HQ in Rostov-on-Don. The Ukrainians need precision, long-range missiles.
And again…the Western world is at war with Russia, even if we don’t want to admit it. And the longer we refuse to admit this, the bloodier the conflict will be when this “Sitzkrieg” finally gets blasted to smithereens by a Russian military offensive against one of the NATO Baltic states (and I’m strongly of the opinion they’re going to do just that) and the higher the price we will have to pay.

Exactly. The Russians are straight-up targeting civilians - it’s terror bombing, pure and simple. The Ukrainians need the ability to retaliate by destroying high-value Russian targets…factories, ammo stockpiles, definitely military HQs and military infrastructure.

I wonder how much of that is due to a complete lack of precision targeting ability by the Russians. Do we even know that they are able to aim their stuff with anything near the precision they claim? Or is it possible that time, and the maintenance neglect caused by the rampant corruption in the Russian Armed Forces, has essentially left them lobbing stuff in Ukraine’s general direction and hoping it hits something valuable?

I have no doubt that the Russians operate like Hamas — terrorizing civilians is at the top of their priorities.
Fingers crossed they got one of these. That would push Russia’s launches back even further than they currently are and give Ukraine’s air defenses more time to target incoming missiles.

re: #103 Nerdy Fish
I wonder how much of that is due to a complete lack of precision targeting ability by the Russians.
Missiles like Iskander were designed as air-launched nuclear-armed anti-shipping weapons aimed at US carrier battle groups. Precision wasn’t part of their remit so firing them at a target and hitting within a couple of km is a bullseye, basically. Most other missile systems and lower-cost drones like Shahed are GPS guided but both sides are jamming and spoofing GPS over their own territories so accuracy goes out the window there too.
Real smart weapons use inertial guidance in GPS jammed/spoofed locations plus visual ID tracking to hit their targets. Modern Western missiles like Brimstone have “pick a window” accuracy over a hundred kilometres of flight but most Russian weapons systems are stuck back in the late twentieth century when it comes to hitting a precise target.
The likely targets in Ukraine cities were power stations and electricity switchyards, the Russians targetted these locations last winter for the obvious reasons. It’s very unlikely they aimed deliberately at hospitals and such.

I’m going to be extremely honest. There is no way in hell I’d be standing in a corner of a high rise apartment building watching a missile hit another apartment building a few hundred meters away. I’d be in a bomb shelter or somewhere safe (is there any place safe in a building from a missile attack?). I can’t imagine being so lucky that the next missile wouldn’t be flying in my living room window.

I don’t know with what. Most of Russia’s best military equipment has been destroyed in Ukraine and virtually their entire army is bogged down there. They have been reduced to making human wave assaults with unarmed conscripted convicts, which has produced hundreds of thousands of dead Russians but virtually no change in the front line. It will probably take a decade after the war in Ukraine ends before Russia has rebuilt its military to the point that it could threaten NATO. Even Azerbaijan isn’t scared of Russia; they ethnically cleansed Naborno-Karabakh of Armenians because the Russian troops who use to protect them were withdrawn to fight in Ukraine.

The Russian leadership simply doesn’t care. Human life means nothing to them (well, maybe their own) and they’re of the mindset that “There are many of us” along with Putin willing to gamble that NATO would do nothing to save the Baltic states - he’d wager that the core of NATO, the US, the UK, France and Germany, won’t do anything more than issue a sternly-worded memorandum expressing their displeasure.
Is that a grotesque miscalculation? Most likely, yes it is. But when he detects weakness, he’ll roll the dice. What people like Putin understand - and perhaps the only thing they understand - is the boot on their throat.
And that is what NATO needs to do. Putin needs to feel NATO’s boot on his throat. Then he’ll back off.

Trump’s own words helped get him booted from Maine ballot: report
Donald Trump’s own words captured on video helped get him disqualified from the 2024 primary ballot in Maine, according to a legal expert.
That state became the second, after Colorado, to remove the former president from its March 5 primary ballot over his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection using Section 3 of the 14th Amendment — and Secretary of State Shenna Bellows made her decision after viewing video evidence provided by a bipartisan group of state legislators, reported Newsweek.
“[Bellows] based her ruling on a lot of documents, but also YouTube clips, news reports, things that would never pass the bar in normal court,” former federal prosecutor Elie Honig told CNN. “She’s not a lawyer, by the way. It’s a smartly written decision, clearly consulted with lawyers, but this is an unelected — she’s chosen by the state legislature. Chosen, elected by the legislature, but not democratically elected.”
The plaintiffs also showed video evidence of Trump encouraging his supporters to remove protesters — sometimes with violence — from his campaign rallies going back to early 2016, but Bellows agreed with the former president’s attorneys that those comments were too old to be relevant to this challenge.
Bellows paused the ruling that was announced Thursday evening while her decision was appealed, and Honig said he expected the U.S. Supreme Court to eventually weigh in.
“I do think the Supreme Court is going to take this case,” Honig said. “I think [yesterday’s] ruling makes it even more likely.”

Have thought of going with a really big display (like 40” or 48”) but I decided that I sit too close to the display to make them work.
A 32” display is also probably too big. But Apple’s 6K XDR display looks good… and it costs (with stand) $6k, unironically. That amount of money will buy you a small, old house in some parts of this world.
First world problems… I know. But my eyes are getting old and I need a display that is exceedingly clear.
If you’re into Macs - purchase a refurbished laptop. I know you’re looking for a desktop.
My refurbished 100 GB MB Air cost ~$200 - great sharp display, multi hour battery - does everything I need.
The Mac Books with larger displays cost more but considerably less than the prices mentioned above. Tho must admit i dunno if there is a market for refurbished Mac desktops.

RFK Jr. Qualifies for His First 2024 Ballot in Utah
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has met the 1,000-signature threshold necessary to propel him onto the presidential ballot in Utah, according to state authorities, making it the first state to offer the independent candidate as an option to general election voters. The development, first reported on Wednesday by Ballot Access News, was confirmed by CBS News. A Kennedy campaign spokesperson told the network that they would announce their ballot access status in Utah on Jan. 3. Kennedy, who is polling at 22 percent in national surveys on a potential three-way race, is focusing his efforts on leveraging himself onto enough state ballots to be a serious threat to both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, widely viewed as the race’s Democratic and Republican frontrunners, respectively. Every state has its own requirements for independent and third-party candidates to qualify for its ballot, with some benchmarks more difficult than others—South Carolina requires 10,000 signatures, for example. The Kennedy campaign is prioritizing ballot access efforts in seven states, according to plans shared with Politico last week: Arizona, California, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, New York and Texas.

Leonard Leo wants Sucker Taxpayer to finance Catholic schools and he has the votes on the corrupted court to get it done.
Groups aligned with the conservative legal movement and its financial architect, Leonard Leo, are working to promote a publicly funded Christian school in Oklahoma, hoping to create a test case to change the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the First Amendment’s separation of church and state.
At issue is the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Oklahoma’s push to create the St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School, which would be the nation’s first religious school entirely funded by taxpayers. The school received preliminary approval from the state’s charter school board in June. If it survives legal challenges, it would open the door for state legislatures across the country to direct taxpayer funding to the creation of Christian or other sectarian schools.
Brett Farley, executive director of the Catholic Conference of Oklahoma, acknowledges that public funding of St. Isidore is at odds with over 150 years of Supreme Court decisions. He said the justices have misunderstood Thomas Jefferson’s intent when he said there should be a wall separating church and state, but that the current conservative-dominated court seems prepared to change course.

Hunter Biden’s lawyer weighs in on imminent Trump defamation trial
Hunter Biden’s attorney said Friday that Donald Trump will likely be forced to pay a huge amount of money to E. Jean Carroll — even more than the $5 million he’s already been ordered to pay.
Bryan M. Sullivan told Newsweek Friday that the retired writer suing Trump — who has already been found liable for defamating her in a separate trial — will present a solid case to the jury next month, despite the former president’s best stalling efforts.
“E. Jean Carroll has a very strong case against Trump,” Sullivan told Newsweek, “and will likely lead to large punitive damages.”
In May, Trump was ordered to pay Carroll $5 million in damages after a jury found he sexually abused her decades ago, then defamed her by denying it. That case is being appealed.
A second trial involving another allegation of defamation is set to start next month.
Sullivan’s prediction comes a day after a New York appeals court refused to delay the case that’s slated to begin on Jan. 16, until the Supreme Court could hear his presidential immunity claims.
Carroll is seeking damages linked to Trump’s denials that he did not sexually assault her in a luxury department store in the 1990s because she was a “nut job” and not his “type.”
A U.S. District Court judge in September already ruled Trump was liable in that second defamation case, but the civil trial will decide damages.
Trump failed in an effort to challenge the $5 million payout in June.

Fred Trump had a mandibulectomy on his right jaw, near the hinge, in 1989. It was owing to a bone tumor - but the surgery created that conspicuous depression in his jawline.

Leonard Leo wants Sucker Taxpayer to finance Catholic schools and he has the votes on the corrupted court to get it done.
Groups aligned with the conservative legal movement and its financial architect, Leonard Leo, are working to promote a publicly funded Christian school in Oklahoma, hoping to create a test case to change the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the First Amendment’s separation of church and state.
At issue is the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Oklahoma’s push to create the St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School, which would be the nation’s first religious school entirely funded by taxpayers. The school received preliminary approval from the state’s charter school board in June. If it survives legal challenges, it would open the door for state legislatures across the country to direct taxpayer funding to the creation of Christian or other sectarian schools.
Brett Farley, executive director of the Catholic Conference of Oklahoma, acknowledges that public funding of St. Isidore is at odds with over 150 years of Supreme Court decisions. He said the justices have misunderstood Thomas Jefferson’s intent when he said there should be a wall separating church and state, but that the current conservative-dominated court seems prepared to change course.

re: #158 Dr Lizardo
Not that I personally think he’d actually do it, but if there’s a SCOTUS ruling (and let’s be blunt, this is all headed to the Supreme Court) that he has no immunity from prosecution, that would be the moment Trump would be most likely to try to flee the country.
Because if/when SCOTUS comes down against him, he’d know he’s 100%, absolutely fucked.

It’s not really a question of who can win but who the GOP will select if, for whatever reason, Trump cannot be on the ballot. For example, his hamberders catch up with him and he’s felled by a serious ailment. Or he’s struck by a bolt of lightning. Who would their fallback be?

Thought it would need to be a reverse mortgage celebrity pitchman to replace Trump because no second tier cruelty candidates move the needle otherwise. A familiar, authoritative, yet a somehow calming antidote to Trump madness that even the yokels could vote for, who keeps the quiet parts quiet an outsider-insider if you please
But maybe too late for them to try that gambit.

Wonder about DeWine. Not that he could win but he seems saner (and more boring) than most GOP officials. He vetoed the anti-trans bill and is not a fanatic on abortion. He hopes to keep the Ohio restrictions that were in place when Roe was the law of the land, but did not talk about expanding them.

re: #19 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus
I so need a new computer. I’ve been wondering if the reason I can’t get Bsky to work for me is that the web page is trying to do something that my old web browsers cannot do.
So I’ve been looking at Macs and while I want a desktop… those Apple displays are priced like they are made with precious metals (which I guess they kind of are, but in miniscule quantities.)
Have thought of going with a really big display (like 40” or 48”) but I decided that I sit too close to the display to make them work.
A 32” display is also probably too big. But Apple’s 6K XDR display looks good… and it costs (with stand) $6k, unironically. That amount of money will buy you a small, old house in some parts of this world.
First world problems… I know. But my eyes are getting old and I need a display that is exceedingly clear.
You should look at the Samsung M8 - a 32” 4K monitor that works great with Macs, also includes smart TV features, and you can find it on sale for under $600. I have one as the second monitor for my iMac, and I really like it.
re: #205 Charles Johnson
And hey, look at this - Amazon now has the M8 for under $500. A great deal.

That would be satire. Her actual statement:

Dinesh is one of the most racist people I ever had the misfortune to see in person, when my late husband and I attended a lecture of his at Northwestern University in the 1990’s. At the time I was foolish enough to think he was merely unfamiliar with American history; it didn’t take long to finally realize he is a liar, with no ethics or decency.

Every R voted to pass it and every D voted not to. DeWine may be doing this as theater to lure moderate and independent voters into thinking he is not such a bad guy (yes I’m cynical). I’m pretty sure he knows the veto will be voted down and the bill will become law. He wasn’t bad with his handling of COVID, but I still don’t trust him.

There’s been some noises about a write-in campaign, but it bears repeating: Write-in campaigns take work. They would need to be working on this already in order for it to have any effect.
They can’t talk about such a thing since that is in effect admitting or implying they expect Trump to not have the nomination. And who of his lackeys is going to mention that subject to him?
