    Politics Roy Cooper makes it official

    I think this is true for a lot of Trump voters. He riled up a lot of people who had been otherwise unengaged in politics and are generally just unengaged in information. To them he was a breath of fresh air. Ironically, the “all politicians are crooks” crowd voted for the biggest one of all...

    Politics Roy Cooper makes it official

    I thought Cunningham was lacking significantly in charisma and was not a good communicator. I remember him doing terribly in his debate with Tillis as well. It was really bad.

    Politics Epstein Files | Ghislaine Maxwell granted limited immunity for interview

    Well, to my knowledge, Maxwell is the only “employee” who has been arrested, but the indictment against Epstein also referenced two other “employees,” who apparently have not been arrested. So there are at least two others.

    Politics Epstein Files | Ghislaine Maxwell granted limited immunity for interview

    I don’t know to what extent “they” have evidence against others from cell phones, computers, etc., but it’s not like those involved are communicating/recording things via such devices in ways that can be well documented such that their is clear record of their crimes. And even if evidence is...

    Politics Epstein Files | Ghislaine Maxwell granted limited immunity for interview

    Well, not really. There has to be sufficient enough evidence that they engaged in some sort of illegal act (being a pedophile, by itself, is not a crime). For the Feds to pick it up, “sufficient enough” means that they’re at least almost certain they would get a guilty verdict if they tried the...

    Yeah, it’s all too early to tell. Remember when it was Beto O’Rourke’s moment and he looked like the future of the Dem Party? That fizzled out pretty quickly.

    I’d like for them to explain how water stays on top of a flat surface without falling off the edges.

    Politics FAFO

    I’m up at our cottage on Seneca Lake (NY) right now. This general area is pretty hardcore Trump country for the most part. Last summer there were Trump signs and flags everywhere. There are some homes and at least one business (funny enough, named Jeff Jackson Trucking & Repair) that have had...

    Politics 2026 NC Senate Race

    I agree with this. I don’t think it was the “dealbreaker” for voters it’s often made out to be. It was mainly just another BS reason that those who weren’t going to vote for him anyway would cite as a reason for why they wouldn’t vote for him (while they also voted for Trump). That said, I’m...
