@george-k said in Why the proposed banking changes are a bad idea: Perhaps Bush the Elder. I remember he said that Lincoln was like a total douche.

@mik said in Biden dichotomy: He seeks to end the death penalty while protecting abortion rights. Wow. So, just like pretty much every other country in the West. You might not agree with him, but there's absolutely nothing unusual about it at all.

Nothing can defeat this elk now, whether storm, fire, stone or flood!

I listened to him talk to me. Thus, I won Larry's bet. Much in the same way you "won" about the election - by cheating. You know damned well what I meant, and you know damned well I wasn't talking about a brief chat about the weather. We actually talked about politics. I believe this was in 2011 and he was on the radar as a potential GOP candidate. BTW I didn't "win" the election, the candidate I voted for lost fair and square, as did yours. Pretending to be dumb won't help you.

@george-k Me either! In mother russia, shuttle flies YOU!

Hard to see Mcauliffe losing, IMO. That being said, these off-year elections do favor the candidates who have the most energetic bases, which Youngkin seems to have.

You can do a clean burn with lignite. There's a plant not twenty miles from where I'm sitting and you wouldn't know it was there if not for the transmission towers crossing the interstate. But it's relatively new, and built with scrubbers and such to purposely burn lignite. I suspect the Chinese aren't as clean with their plants

Nah, just old-fashioned stupid. I expected better from Cleveland.

It does.

True, dat.

Yeah, the surgery was no big deal. The eye drops were the worst part.

https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/12/politics/kamala-harris-child-actors-youtube-video/index.html A White House official told CNN the vice president's office did not select the kids who participated in the special. In a statement provided to CNN on Tuesday, a YouTube spokesperson said the company selected the children and defended the hiring process. . "The casting process for this show was no different from typical unscripted kids shows across other networks and streaming platforms," the statement read. "YouTube selected the kids that were featured. We reached out via not-for-profit organizations, social media and traditional casting websites, looking for kids who were interested in contributing positively to their communities." . The spokesperson added that YouTube is proud of the series and "we look forward to the attention shifting back to encouraging families to get excited about space exploration." So it’s a YouTube production, one that I did not know exist until reading this thread. :man-shrugging:
