Once the estate passes to her, she can will it to anyone she wants, and it probably won’t be the dead husband’s family members if they gave her a hard time about it. They can’t allow the family fortune to go to the late-to-the-party widow, hoping she’ll die soon and get it from her.
Damn Skippy. I’m waiting to support the candidate who explicitly states that they understand that America cannot continue into a positive future as long as MAGA is poisoning our governmental system.
The first one who says that crushing and purging MAGA will be their first priority, is my candidate.
Like I said, NOBODY is investigating it, so there is very little except lots of things from lots of sources.
Here’s something that points to what I’m talking about:
in the seven swing states – Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin – there was an inverse trend: the Democratic vote dropped very slightly but held up quite well compared to 2020, but Trump made enough gains to give him the White House. A large part of Democratic campaign spending was focused on the swing states, suggesting that this helped buoy up Democratic support – but not enough to overcome a wave of additional Trump voters.
…
In the swing states – Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia and North Carolina – the story was one of increasing Republican votes. About 303 counties had seen larger increases in the Trump vote than any major change in the numbers voting Democrat. Meanwhile, 66 counties saw outsized shrinkage of Democratic votes.
Swing states: how Democratic vote stayed flat while Republican gains won it for Trump
So the story in the Swing States was that the Democratic vote stayed strong, while the Trump vote increased…why? What was the reason for the sudden rise in Trump voters in those states? Why weren’t they there in 2016, or 2020? After not voting for him twice, they saw him throw an Insurrection and steal hundreds of documents as thought they’d vote for him for president, even though they were going to continue to vote Democrat for everyone else?
Florida, which was an evenly split state for decades, is no longer considered a swing state because so many MAGAs moved there, that they now have a 600K lead. But that doesn’t seem to be the case with these states. Their Democratic voter base stayed relatively consistent, but suddenly there were a lot of Trump voters.
All they had to do was flip less than 1% of the vote, and both Musk and Putin openly contributed their experienced professional hacking teams. Lean on the the Doge Douchebags, and they’ll spew the whole sordid scheme.
Cars should not be so expensive that people have to start using scooters and skate boards to get around. That’s fine for students, but a moral governmental system should be able to offer essential goods at prices that working people can afford. We should be able to manufacture vehicles at an affordable price, and people should make enough income to pay it.
It would mean less profit for the parasites at the top, but I don’t care about that.
What outsiders don’t understand is that Americans are raised on tales of revolution, overthrowing the mightiest military on the face of the Earth. Once we start a revolution, it will never end until it succeeds.
In most countries, what happens in the capitol decides it. If there’s a massive protest, and tanks crush it, then it’s over. But if tanks crush the massive protest in DC, it will just cause larger, more violent protests in NYC, Chicago, LA, and EVERY OTHER CITY IN AMERICA. The moment that MAGA orders the military to fire on protesting American citizens, every MAGA politician’s life goes on a very short clock, and every government building will burn. They will all be dead within a month.
Americans have been socialized to be kind and empathetic, and even be polite to MAGA, who are the worst people on the planet, so we’re obeying the rules, and trying to get through this with our elections.
But it is a very bad idea to mistake kindness for weakness. If MAGA pushes people like that over the line, past their breaking point, the backlash is going to be far more severe than they expect.
Remember when Trump said that nobody expected Iran to fire back? Yes they did, and we all told him they would. But he ignored everybody’s advice, and was surprised at the obvious result. When he fires on American citizens (and he will fire on American citizens, it’s as inevitable as starting a war always was), he’s going to be very surprised when we punch back, and start killing all of his accomplices.
There’s about a 50-50 chance this ends with a French Revolution-style party, and just yesterday Trump said he didn’t care if people can’t afford gas. That was his “Let Them Eat Cake” moment, but he is too virtuosically ignorant to understand where that leads.
LOL. Yeah, that’ll work.
I’m still not sure I understand what “straight Democratic tickets” mean. Is it people who only voted Democratic before and this was their first time voting Republican?
No, it means they only vote for the candidates from their party.
Generally American voters are either Republican or Democrat (or Independent, like me), and they generally vote for all the candidates from their party. Not always, sometimes there’s a candidate from you party that you particularly hate for some reason, or a candidate from the other party that you like, but generally people vote for their own party. That’s a “straight party ticket.”
The ballot always includes much more than just the presidential race. Every two years, every member of the House of Representatives runs for reelection. Every six years, Senators run. Governors are running, along with a lot of other state seats like state legislatures. Then there are municipal races for your county and city - mayors, councilmen, school board, tax collector, clerk of courts, judges, dog catcher, etc.
So if someone is a strong party voter, they’ll just vote a “Straight Ticket,” with every vote for their own party. In the old days, with the old voting machines, there was even a switch you could flip as soon as you started, that would automatically cast your party vote for every race, so you didn’t have to flip 20 switches.
So it would be really weird for someone to be such a strong Democratic voter that they check off every Democratic box, and then cast their presidential vote for Trump. I could see them voting for their Republican neighbor for dog catcher, because he’s kind to animals, but generally, the higher the election goes, the more likely you are to vote for YOUR party.
The idea that someone would vote a straight Democratic ticket, then vote for Trump as president, makes no plausible sense at all. Worse, literally nobody from either party has questioned it at all.
Valid. They could have spent hours prepping him, only for him to go out there and immediately go off script. He’s just a poop-flinging ape.
Exactly. The whole point was to keep a monster like Trump out of office, but the Electors didn’t do their jobs, so its clearly not performing as it’s supposed to, so time to retire it.
Back when 3D printers were brand-new, I was at a college event where the Engineering Club had one on display. I stopped to watch it, and spoke with the kid who had built it. He was a Freshman, and had built it during the previous summer, because he wanted to come to college and make an instant splash in the Engineering Department.
He certainly succeeded, because he was the one in the booth that everybody wanted to talk to, while the upperclassmen that hadn’t accomplished anything, sat in the back of the booth and glowered at the Freshman upstart.
So anyway, if they ban them, we’ll just build them.
I mean just what I said. There were MILLIONS of ballots that were straight Democratic tickets, except Trump as president, and they were concentrated in the Swing States. Obviously they hacked the machines, and flipped votes from Harris to Trump.
That’s how he won EVERY swing state, a statistical impossibility, AND the “popular vote,” the first time a Republican won it since Reagan in 1994. They couldn’t even let Harris win a couple, just to make it look plausible. No, he had to go full dictator, and claim the ENTIRE country voted for him in a LANDSLIDE.
Have you ever spoken to someone who voted all Democrat, except for Trump for president? Have you every seen one on TV? Since those people decided the entire race, why didn’t any media outlet collect a bunch together in a panel, and ask them to explain? Where are those people? Who are those people?
Show me ONE.
And yet Schmuck, Jeffries, and the DNC immediately declared the election “fair & square,” because they were far more interested in demonstrating to MAGA and the world what a “peaceful transition of power” looks like, as if we hadn’t seen that 45 times before. So we never had even the slightest interest in investigating the MANY reports of election improprieties in the 2024 election.
When this is over, and we are intensely investigating MAGA’s many crimes, we should also look into what the Dem leadership was up to, because it sure looks like they were cooperating with MAGA on many occasions, including the obvious rigging of the 2024 election.
I can see where a family might not be too pleased about some “long lost love” who shows up at the end to get married and try to claim the entire estate from his family.
That was the Anna Nicole Smith story. The family of her dead ancient husband were truly awful people, but I don’t blame them for being upset at this obvious golddigger showing up at the end and trying to take EVERYTHING from their family.
Don’t forget the Flood story where he killed nearly entire human race, and numerous other tales of death and destruction (Sodom & Gommorrah, Jericho, etc.).
The God described in the Bible is a monster.
That’s particularly evil. No matter what their lame rationalizations will be, this is how we know that they created this tech in bad faith, and they intend to use it in bad faith.
In some countries, they’ve made it illegal to turn off the shutter sound on your camera, so that women can hear the sound when some pervert is trying to take upskirts.
Putting a recording light on the glasses does basically the same thing, by alerting those around them. It wouldn’t be hard to disable it, though.
He asked if she voted for him, and she said maybe (that’s a no), he asked her about trans in sports, and she refused to answer, he said it was an honor to meet her because he was waiting for her to say it, but she didn’t, and he has no filter, so he blurted it out himself, and when all that was over, a reporter asked him about that post as Jesus, and he hummana-hummanaed through a ridiculous rationalization that he was supposed to be a doctor helping people because that’s what he does, Help People, by bombing them into the stone age.
They set up this whole PR stunt, finding this woman who needed the tax breaks to take care of her husband with cancer (without understanding that it really shines a light on their non-existent health care system more than No Tax On Tips) and flying her in from several states away, and yet they didn’t even bother to do the simplest briefing of Trump, or rehearse his patter in front of the media. After all that, they let him go out there and just wing it.
MAGA is virtuosically incompetent.
I watched my Dad decline for years before the doctor would finally diagnose it as dementia. He had already forgotten the names, and even the faces, if everyone he knew before the doctor finally said he had some form of dementia. Duh! Welcome to the party, Doc.
They won’t believe he has dementia until he turns to Vance, or Rubio, or Hegseth, and says “Who are you?”
The next president will be like an Egyptian Pharaoh, and tear his name off of everything.
Some rich hump entertaining himself by waving a hundo in front of some old poor person trying to make ends meet for her cancer-stricken husband.
“Watch how excited they get over the price of a cigar! I bet she’d dance if I told her to, but I can’t do that with the media watching.”
Dems can’t get anything done in Congress, so they might as well poison the MAGA well for the Midterms.
