Trump 2020 46.9
Trump 2016 46.1

Hm, that's interesting. So he profited less from the electoral college system in 2020 than in 2016. It suggests that he either gained votes where he was already strong in 2016 (but got no additional EC seats), or that he gained votes in places where he was weak in 2016 but even with the additional votes not strong enough to gain a seat. I guess it's more of the former.

Ah, right. I forgot that one needs a bottom plank. With 10 planks, my result would be correct.

And to think...In those days, the U.S. almost didn't have an amored division, more like an expansion of a Calvary Brigade. By the end of WW2, America fielded 16 armor divisions and we were building tanks so fast, there was a M4 coming off the line every thirty minutes.

I would never call that tinfoil hat stuff. It might or might not be correct, but (reasonably interpreted) it’s not crazy.

Copper has reached excellence in golf.

Going pro next?

I have faith something will happen to the Saints...

I love how brazen it is.

@Copper said in Shanika can't read.:

What is needed has been posted here thousands of times.

Parents.

Parents committed to the education.

A decent education is possible without parents, but it is rare.

All the money in the world is useless.

It is hard work. You can't buy it.

There is not a broken system.

There are as many systems as there are cities and counties. Those with heavy parental involvement are excellent, those without it are not.

Agree

Yeah to be honest I didn’t think it was she who set it up.

It’s more the idea that people think this is qualifying.

But then I guess ‘she’s a fighter’.

Heck, I'll bet you someone bought the name "presidentbiden.com...... lol

And someone probably bought (https://keepamericagreat.com) LOL

ocals on one of my old prescriptions. No problemo.

That's the way it should be - at least with what's going on in the world. I found a company in Canada that would ship to the US - but it was triple the cost of what it was from the UK.

I have long wondered if we have war because we, as a species, need it.

Our threat response system is many, many ages older than our frontal lobe. Violence of that sort is an evolutionary hangover, I think; a result of civilizing ourselves before evolution caught up.

DM me your address, I have something to mail you.

A few trinkets to commemorate this historic time of our country wouldn’t be a bad idea. 😉

@Doctor-Phibes Everyone remembers what Churchill said of the average voter. I don't think things have improved.

Sometimes the jokes write themselves and I don't even need to write them out...

I only vaguely had heard of him. Sowell’s right that he didn’t get enough credit.

@Jolly they were afraid because President Trump won a second term?

I figure it goes both ways.
