    1. Do you think Jon commits harakiri?

    Nope he's more formal than that.


    1. Seppuku (切腹):
      • Formal term: “Seppuku” is the more formal, ceremonial word. It comes from the characters “切” (setsu or “to cut”) and “腹” (fuku or “belly”).
      • Samurai code: Seppuku was typically carried out by samurai to restore honor after dishonor, avoid capture, or as a form of capital punishment for serious crimes.
      • Ritual: It involved a very strict procedure, often including cutting the abdomen, followed by a second who would deliver a beheading to ensure a quicker death.
      • Honor: It was considered an honorable and noble way to die, deeply tied to the bushido (samurai) code.
    2. Harakiri (腹切り):
      • Colloquial term: “Harakiri” is a more casual and less formal term, derived from the same characters but reversed— “腹” (hara or “belly”) and “切り” (kiri or “cutting”).
      • Common usage: Although the action is the same, harakiri is often used in casual speech or by non-Japanese speakers when referring to the act.
      • Context: It’s typically used in more informal contexts and is less associated with the ceremony or honor than “seppuku.”

    OTOH, who would be @Jon's second?

      1. Do you think Kamala certifies the election?

      2. Do you think the Dems in the House try to block it?

      3. Do you think there’s another mob trying to stop the process?

          A few symbolically will vote against.

          Not like 2021. There will be protests but no one is breaking into the capitol violently.

                Obviously, the Capitol will be better secured. There will be no more plausible deniability that a bunch of rentacops who will commit suicide if they are called upon to do their jobs and maybe get some owies in the process, are adequate to the task of defending our very democracy.

                  We should celebrate 1/6 every 4 years by opening all the doors of the capitol.

                      He would have let them in, but he also would have shot each and every one of them that got violent.

                        And it will be an eternal mystery how, through all the violence of Jan 6, only one rioter was shot in self-defense, and that was a female who hadn't laid a hand on anybody. The practical effect of those 1000s of violent assaults was so minimal as to be almost miraculous. I mean except for the suicides in the coming days and weeks. Definitely the violence and terror, while producing scant actual injuries and only one discharged firearm, caused those suicides.

                          I suspect there was more damage done after Jackson's inauguration, than on 1/6.

                            The Dems have nothing to hide and will be watching even more closely the election than the real vote stuffers. But in the end, if he manages to swing the swing states, it will go down very much like 2016, without much ado at all. That's how decent people act when they accept a loss. Little rebel fires in assorted cities would pale in comparison to the other election result.

                              and speaking of election results, isn't it about time to play a game of prediction? Certainly, 99 percent of voters already know which way they are going to go, so let's see all of your predictions for the electoral college this election. The link is an interactive electoral map that begins with predictive results in most states and then identifies the swings. It tabulates the electoral votes as you manipulate each state to your prediction. As there are many options for each state, we must only use two options for this game, solid red or solid blue for each state. I will reply to this post with my prediction. Let's see all of yours. Post your screen shot. This is the fun time!

                                  I see Harris sweeping swing states, except NC. I see her snagging Florida with Texas lost by a nosebleed. At this point in an election, I always have been able to feel the mood in our country. The very worst thing a person can do is to pay heed to the daily polls. They are fools gold. This has the feeling of no doubt. I saw Hillary losing and have predicted correctly all other elections in my lifetime except for Nixon/McGovern in 72. Boy was I wrong on that one. But the Dems don't need Texas just yet. It's enough. It's staggering and it pulls all the ammunition out of Trump's rig gun. A decimation for the ages.

                                        @Jolly don't worry. I would never ever think to mark LA in the Blue. Although I do love the song by Linda, Blue Bayou. It really shows off her talent. And was there a better song made with a pedal steel guitar solo? Classic. No rock/pop/country music ever topped the 70's.
