40 biolabs? Who needs so many? How would you staff them?

This would be a good reason why you are not a mod. We are strong enough of mind to sort this out for ourselves. Hiding from Putin's propaganda will solve nothing. Seeing it first hand merely strengthens our understanding of how they operate.

The fairer sex has become UNFAIR and no longer knows to stay in their place.

It looks like the Sandy Hook families are getting closer to collecting some of what Jones owes them. https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/alex-jones-needs-sandy-hook-222152347.html

Maybe the amount of CNBC coverage is is the most important dataset indicating how people feel about the issue. But most likely not. Here is a data set. What kind of spin can we put on this one? https://gml.noaa.gov/webdata/ccgg/trends/co2/co2_mm_mlo.txt

This comment is actually not about after a Trump win. It is about after a DeSantis win. But there is an group already drawing up the names and making the plans for a similar purge in the early days of the coming trump apocalypse. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4135422-desantis-vows-to-start-slitting-throats-on-day-one/#:~:text=Ron DeSantis (R) on Sunday,(R-Mass.).

The markets and the employment scene both seem pretty healthy at the moment. What was a bear 2 months ago now is looking like a bull. The fallout from the pandemic is not over but seems to be being managed as well as it could be. Certainly much better than having an erratic unpredictable reactionary party in charge.

I have a colony just across the street from me. Every weekday for 10 months of the year the big yellow vans arrive with more of them. Where do they come from? And minivans crowd the local street all vying for choice places to park as the hunt and trap the feral 12 to 15 year olds.

Not lies, feelings. Nothing more than feelings.

Where I live feral the feral cat population is somewhat limited by the harshness of our winters. As is the bird count.

Great. Now we don't know for sure if the evil cats or the evil wind turbines are the culprit.

I'm firmly on both sides. I like cats, had cats in the house growing up, but don't want to own one now. On the other hand I am the meany who knows that they are just another form of livestock and they are not "fur babies". Feral cats should not be allowed to exist if anything can be done to eliminate them. Pretty much the same goes for dogs. Spending stupid amounts of money on animals that are sick and should be put down also bothers me. I know, the haters are going to hate on me.

Harris has an impressive resume. But the most impressive "promotions" involved winning elections. Perhaps the skinny regent thinks she slept with the electorate.

Yeah.....it's almost like you can see a light at the end of the tunnel. I just don't trust all the media and stories about how bad Russia is doing. Sure they are not doing well but they are not on their heels like some people seem to believe. They are dug into their positions and the have the resources to stay dug in. A big dose of realism is needed to counter the false optimism. Don't get me wrong, I am heavily in favour of supporting Ukraine for as long as they can keep it going.

I can see no realistic way Ukraine will be in a position to make any of those demands. Putin's end will not change Russia's nature. I understand that Russia is a corrupt place but the fact is that Ukraine is hardly any less so. The end of this conflict will involve a loss of territory for Ukraine. Barring a third world war with western armies getting involved that is.

There will have to be a border between the countries. You can still see the recognized border displayed in google maps. I have no idea how it was drawn, but when Soviet Union controlled both countries it worked. It is a zig zag line that makes a Mississippi gerrymandered district look sensible. It follows rivers only in a few small sections. It probably was originally set up based on the linguistic identity of villages nearby. There is just no way it could work between two hostile nations.

What happens in Ukraine in the end is mostly up to how strong and long lasting the Ukrainian's will to resist turns out to be. It is clear that despite some Maga and other isolationist opposition US and other NATO nations will keep the support going as long as Ukraine can keep fighting. It is just as clear that Russia is far too weak and poorly run to get the results it wants, even with their propaganda machine running full blast. There is and has never been a clear natural border between Russia and Ukraine. Russia's ethnic cleansing of the areas it now controls is at least partly working. The Soviet era border will never be completely restored so the conflict must end with some sort of compromise. In the meantime bleeding and weakening Russia some more seems to be a great idea. Supporting Ukraine may seem expensive but is actually a pretty good bargain.

Fascism has proven to be quite popular in several places at several times. There is considerable support for the Maga brand of it right now. And there is an electoral system in place that favours it along with a lack of enthusiasm for the alternative. Bad things just a shot away.

It now appears that India also is prepared to carry out assassinations in the USA. https://apnews.com/article/sikh-india-white-house-fbi-3d54bc18c29f96ad50215a408440fbc5

If he would build a winning team instead of the Colts, they wouldn’t come down so hard on him.

In a system like that weather cycles would be pretty complicated. Edit......Oops, I see now have injected controversy into the Bonfire. Sorry about that. The universe is so fascinating and the more we learn the more it is so.

Yea, except for the ones who just stay home.

There is an art to gerrymandering. It's easy to create one safe seat. But if you want to have the majority of seats you need to carefully divide just enough support among each of your members. It can come all crashing down on you if you piss off enough of those voters.

Do these people not understand that if they do not honour the will of the electorate they will be voted out of office?

He is not wrong about that. Even though in this case the outcome corrects an abuse of power.
