I, for one, am shocked. Shocked I tell you.

Who could have guessed Trump would appoint somebody who doesn’t recognize the victims of genocide as real people? It’s not like Trump called pro-Palestinians protestor “pro-Hamas thugs” and “jihad sympathizers” or said “I will give Israel the support that it needs to win but I do want them to win fast” or called attempts by Biden to negotiate a cease fire an attempt to “tie Israel’s hand behind its back”.

How could anybody have known? By looking at how he handled conflicts in the area during his first administration? What are we? A nation of nerds that try to make educated decisions about our political leaders?

I can’t help but feel like that’s the point.

Taking drugs that impacts judgement and results in irrational actions sounds like a good reason to not be allowed access to firearms, much less placed in a position of power or authority.

Putin is also of “low height”.

He’s got a long history of stimulating oral sex acts in public.

Trump is going to lose the popular vote so with the current US political system, these are the voting options this year:

1. Vote Harris and help Harris claim the presidency.

2. Vote Trump and help Trump claim the presidency.

3. Vote 3rd party and help Trump claim the presidency.

4. Don’t vote and help Trump claim the presidency.

I agree with you about prison not being a panacea for criminal / violent behavior.

When given the chance to address the court prior to his sentencing, DePape, dressed in prison orange and with his brown hair in a ponytail, spoke at length about Sept. 11 being an inside job, his ex-wife being replaced by a body double, and his government-provided attorneys conspiring against him.

“I’m a psychic,” DePape told the court, reading from sheets of paper. “The more I meditate, the more psychic I get.”

While I don’t think that DePape should be released into the public, it sounds like some sort of psychiatric facility would be more appropriate for him. Ignoring mental health issues is not going to make them go away and maybe if he and others like him were put someplace where he could be observed then we, as a society, may be able to put some policies in place to address future potential dangers before they culminate in violence.

A mid-October poll by Fairleigh Dickinson University found that Trump’s appeal is rooted in voters’ perceptions of his masculinity.

That is beyond disturbing, in every possible way.

Does the Trump campaign honestly believe that Harris is the current president?

Know your audience?

That’s the point. If 3rd parties were serious about governing they would appear as options for way more local elections. Instead they serve as throwaway protest votes for people who want to say “I voted” without actually having to take any responsibility the who is in office.

Not born wealthy, but there was Ronald Read who lived a modest life resulting in a multimillion dollar estate when he passed in 2014. He left most of it to local library and hospital.

He’s been alive longer than Hawaii and Alaska have been US states.

He predates lasers, commercial jet airliners, and the pocket calculator.

He is older than presidential term limits and the CIA.

Especially for somebody older than the Golden Arches logo.

…and cept Captain Lou Albano

While not a term maybe a short blurb like “While I am not religious, I admire many of the lessons of Jesus as portrayed in the Bible, and I try to model parts of my life after his example.”

If applicable you can also add “Along with others I consider to be positive examples for leading a good and virtuous life.”

Yes. Thanks for catching that.

There is a lot of good messaging in the Bible, the Quran, the Torah, etc. You don’t need to be religious to appreciate that. Just like how somebody who appreciates in the mission and words of The Amazing Randi does not need a special label.

The labels start to come into play when discussing your belief or disbelief in a god or gods.

It’s been a few years since I last bought a TV, but I’ve been happy with my Sony. About once or twice a year I get a “software update available” message, which is weird since it has never been connected to any network, but I just dismiss it and continue my regular usage.
