As I recall, in terms of the electoral college, neither Biden nor Harris have, at any point, been projected to beat Trump. It’s not “becoming” scary, it’s been scary for quite some time.

Why are you beside them at an intersection? That’s pretty dangerous. You should either be directly in front of them or directly behind them. No one cares about where you “can be” as a cyclist when you’re pinned under the wheel of a car bleeding out.

From one cyclist to another, don’t pull up beside a car at an intersection. If it’s a stop sign, take the lane and get directly behind the vehicle and act like a car. If it’s a light and you have time, pull directly in front of the lead car. Your acceleration off a green light will far surpass a car.

Theory 3: Trump and other authoritarian world leaders/parties/orgs has validated unmitigated rage and contempt towards almost anyone for almost any reason.

In the US at least, Trump has validated half the country to express naked contempt for anyone they deem “other.” This includes: any person of color, any woman, anyone younger than them, anyone that “looks” educated, anyone walking, anyone on a bicycle, and anyone in an electric car, among others.

Damn how much hair you losing in there. People shaving animals in your shower or what!!?

Condemning Trump doesn’t make anyone on anyone’s side. It means they’re NOT on Trump’s side.

It’s a statement about how much Trump dominates political and social discourse that people think the Democratic party is the “anti-Trump” party.

Obviously people like Cheney are against Trump, but that doesn’t mean that everyone that is against Trump is a Democrat. It usually just means they’re relatively rational.

I find you dubious.

You first.

She won her seat last election with almost 70% of the vote.

Cool cool. LMK

Aahh, that makes sense.

Yes, the socialists have definitely been winning this epic fight.

What is a “canada”?

It seems seems dubious to me too. But the ‘gr’ in migrants would sound roughly the same as ‘gger.’ The problem is… well. He seems to start it with an ‘n’ and then also mis-inflects the ‘i’?

It would be like trying to say ‘clickable’ and instead saying ‘slacker.’

Mad sus.

Something smells fucky. She’s in a gerrymandered district so re-election isn’t a concerned. Presumably Trump is in too much of a froth to realize this might be a political mistake and would love the theatrically of it. It will fire up the base and keep immigration central in the election discourse.

I don’t quite get it. But my speculation is that this is an early volley and positioning to try to get rid of Johnson soon by 1) calling him out and making him look weak, 2) forcing him to capitulate to the democrats “just like she said he would,” and 3) or he doesn’t work with the dems, and then she’s tied him more concretely to the government shutdown. Following this, I assume the crazy crew will start undermining him in the media, and then they’ll eventually vote to try to get him removed and install one of the crazy crew.

She is absolutely too rabid to be doing this for civic-minded reasons, so something has to be going on.

I think that was their point.

Nope. Just pictures of people’s homes and addresses and whatever anyone wants to put on the description. Take a picture of your neighbor that took your parking spot and say they shoot at people and see what happens! Fun for the whole family!

What an awful, ugly idea.

Most of Vermont and NH is nothing like this. I’ve lived there, near Brattleboro (which is literally on the border with NH), in the upper northeastern part of the state near NH in the middle of nowhere, and in Montpelier. I drove around VT and NH pretty extensively.

I also had a girlfriend that lived in Hanover, NH so was driving up there a lot; Hanover is admittedly unique in NH. I ski, MTB, hike, 4 wheel, snowmobile, hunt, and fish, so I’ve truly crawled around a large majority of the entirety of both states.

There are extremely rural locations in both states that look like many rural places anywhere in the United States – in fact, much nicer than many of the rural places in the US I’ve been down south and in the upper Midwest. I’ve literally never seen “piles of garbage” in front yards during the thousands of miles I’ve traveled around the states. I have seen trucks and ATVs being worked on in in various stages of disassembly in yards in the backwoods, but that’s how it is in the backwoods. You’re not exactly going to bring it to a mechanic.

That said, there is a very clear difference between NH and VT. While many parts of NH are quite nice, I would agree that there are some parts of NH that mildly fit your description. There are less places like that in VT, but I suppose if you looked hard enough, you’d find them.

But overall, your characterization doesn’t fit either of the states. They’re both beautiful New England states. I intend to move back to Vermont in the next few years because it’s so pleasant.

Where are you living in NH/VT? I find your descriptions completely bizarre.

👍

Was a nobody. You’re literally reading about it on social media and news sites and having a conversation about it with strangers now.

He was a nobody and was writing things no one was reading.
