re: NY Post post debate poll: Harris +3 (was Harris +4 pre debate)

Most respondents think Harris "won" the debate, but Trump actually picked up a larger chunk of undecided voters.

Because to the extent there are any truly "undecided voters" out there, if there is anything that is going to push them in Trump's direction, it's the fact that the uniparty does not want him in the White House and wants to retain power at all costs. If you watched that debate, even as an independent, it was obvious that ABC had its thumb on the scales the entire night.

I do think there were a lot of people that watched that debate and thought to themselves, "Man, these people (the media) REALLYYYY don't want him to win this election."

Be better parents.

There is zero reason minor children should be out acting that way, unless you blatantly suck as a parent.

I think his point is that "criminal acts" is pretty damn broad and would include stupid shite that most teenagers do like underage drinking.

Sage Ryan, Major Burns, and Gilbert wouldn’t have cracked the 3-deep on those late 2000s/early2010s teams. They simply are not SEC caliber players and it’s a damn shame we haven’t been able to recruit better players.

His hand was under the ball pinning it into his stomach. It doesn't matter if the ball touches the ground at that point as long as it doesn't move. Of all the things to bitch about, this call might be the silliest.

His hand was under it. It's time to stop complaining about calls as if it somehow changes the fact that we were outcoached and outplayed.

jizzle's claim is EVERYONE should have $2.5mm in retirement.

The average worker doesn't make that much in their entire frickin life, so please show how they are supposed to amass that large of a retirement account.

I don't think everyone's target should be $2.5MM. I was responding to your post suggesting that people romanticize retirement and equate it to traveling the world. While world travel is not in the cards for most retirees, that is the goal of some. I'd venture to guess that this board is made up of primarily upper-middle class folks that have the means to save for world travel in retirement if they wish to do so.

Well, not for:

But some people do work hard so they can retire well off and enjoy their last two decades traveling the world.

I don't think so. It would be insanely difficult to dismember a body and not leave any evidence.

But this presents a logical problem for the prosecution because it would have been extremely difficult to dump a body over the side of that boat without capsizing it.

Maybe he pulled up to one of the islands, unloaded the body, tied the body to the boat, and then drug the body out to the bay? That allows for a lot of opportunities to be seen though.

He's using "accounts" to describe where the app is based. The same way a TikTok "account" would be based in China.

I think the Congressman is playing fast and loose with using the phrase "overseas accounts."

This quote:

makes it seem like he was just using encrypted text messaging apps that are based in foreign countries, which is not odd at all.

Yep. Unfortunately, the kid is going to be meme fodder for the next week, but he was understandable proud of his dad, and I think that's something that everyone can appreciate and respect. He should be left alone IMO.
