Not at all. It was expected for the reasons I mentioned and why it is a sham.

No you aren't making claims of certainty - what you are doing is purposefully, willfully - I would say childishly way - dismissing the actual known eviudence. Not because you can claim to know that the evidence is tainted, or incomplete or biased.... just because you have a general "but what if" disclaimer to essentially anything you disagree with. You "what if" things without any actal basis of credibility or even a tangible relationship to what is being discussed. Little Suzy and your strawman contrived gaslighting example bears absollutely zero relationship to any of the subject matter. And Aliens are indeed relevent and an example of your completely bogus arguments that are lacking any substantiative content.

It's not me that is observing anyting - Georgia, Texas, Arizona, Wisconsin, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania all carried out extensive voter fraud investigations. That means more than your little Suzy, it means more than a What If the people "observing" are so stupid they don't know how to investigate .... 12 million voter IDs were audited or revieed. In Georgia Cobb County 15,000+ absentee votes were verified - 0 fraud. In Texas - Its four-county forensic audit covered 3,885,875 votes and performed voter-registration and eligibility analyses, including searches for cross-state duplicate voting, deceased voters and possible non-citizens. It found 67 cases where deceased people may have voted. Possibly 509 cases of potential fraud (none proven) - but if we ASSUME all of those potential cases were in fact fraud .... it represents a voter fraud rate of 0.01%. Again, with the assumption that every possible red flag was in fact fraud which is more than unlikely. And yes - ideally we should try to elinate ALL voter fraud, I am not saying voter fraud is acceptable. . . but we are discussing mass voter fraud of significant numbers to alter the results of an election....

This is in addition to the 60+ court cases where fraud claims that Biden 'stole' the 2020 election ... 30 dismissed. 29 lost. 1 win on a technicality which related to the date a handful of votes had been counted and was not fraudulent but procedural.

It is not hard ... there is no mass voter fraud. The elections are secure and safe. The idea that they aren't is a scare tactic by Trump/MAGA and the looney right trying to create a narrative to fix a problem that doesn't exist.

Unless you or anyone else wants to provide some E.V.D.E.N.C.E this is not true - take your loss and go home. Dismissing the evidence while not providing ANYTHING of substance tobase this dismissal is more than ignorant.

In all my years watching football, THIS is the most egregious call I've ever seen. No way, no how, no excuse. The clock is CLEARLY at zero.

How many times have we been shut bout this season ?

That was just beautiful. He looked like human pibl

Pretty sure this is AI.

JD Vance Says He’s Doing ‘God’s Work’ and ‘If That Leads to the End Times, Ok’

Vice President JD Vance claimed that he is "doing as much of God's work as possible," and added that he is at peace if doing so means bringing about the end times.

Vance sat for an interview on Monday's edition of the Bryce Crawford Podcast, hosted by a 22-year-old evangelical Christian.

"What do you think about the end times?" Bryce Crawford asked, referring to the Christian belief that the world as we currently know it will someday end, and that Jesus will return. "Do you think it's here? Do you think it's coming?"

Vance replied that he has "always been fascinated" by eschatology and stated that the Antichrist, a figure in Christian lore who will allegedly pose as a Jesus-like figure, may be "walking among us." The vice president also added that he is "ok" with his actions leading to the end times if that is what happens:

Do I think that we're in the end times? I don't know. And I think that it's probably bad for me spiritually to focus too much on it because there are like, things that you gotta do. I gotta be good to my wife. I gotta be good to my kids. I have to be as good of a leader as I can for the United States of America. And so, I think that focusing on – while I'm fascinated by it – focusing on it is, too much of it can be very bad. I think that there are like, things about the world that make me feel like not shocked if the Antichrist was walking among us. But again, I try not to focus too much on it.

So, I tend to think like, while I wouldn't be shocked if we are living in the end times, what I'm trying to focus on is doing as much of God's work as possible right now. And if that leads to the end times, ok. And if that leads to you know, us building a better world that thrives and survives for a very long time after I'm gone, that's great too.

Vance converted to Catholicism in 2019. At the time, he explained, "I became persuaded over time that Catholicism was true. I was raised Christian, but never had a super-strong attachment to any denomination, and was never baptized. When I became more interested in faith, I started out with a clean slate, and looked at the church that appealed most to me intellectually."

Vance is a former protege of billionaire Palantir founder Peter Thiel, who himself has fixated on the Antichrist. Earlier this year, Thiel delivered a series of lectures on the topic in the Vatican.

"Onward Christian soldiers marching as to war! With the cross of Jesus going on before."

As another poster said about a different topic today, "Hard to create a narrative that works for that one."

We hit 2 Iranian oil tankers this morning.
Somebody made a 275 million dollar bet yesterday that oil prices were going to go up

It is amazing to have platforms like Spotify.

You can hear anything you want, anytime. You don't need to own stuff like records, tapes, and cd's.

But when I pulled up this video of Van and it just showed a turntable. It flipped a switch. I went back in time. I remember buying that album.

I remember the thrill of the entire process. Going to the record store. Searching records. Reading album covers. Listening to the music in the store. Thinking I have the five dollars to buy a record which one will it be?

Bringing that album home tearing off the clear cover and opening the album for the first time. Putting it on the turntable. Putting the needle down. And being soo happy to listen.

I know there has been a resurgence of vinyl. But, all my stuff is long gone.

The movie "Diner" is what it was like. The guy with the organized record collection. It was a spiritual thing.

All that came back from hearing "Into the Mystic" and watching a turntable turn.

I am only looking at the way he plays. Throws with tight coverage. Ball placement.

He threw some beautiful balls.

Clean mechanics. Really like his form.

"Something in the water!"

Why would anyone possibly care if Pratt was on the final ballot? He would have had zero chance of winning in California. Sane people first find a motive before claiming someone cheated. There was no motive here.

Nithya Raman got the overwhelming amount of late mail-in votes when Bass was the clear leader at the actual polls.

Bass got 65% more votes than Raman at the polls.

Raman got 15% more votes than Bass with the late mail-in ballots.

These were obviously all democratic voters we're talking about, so that seems like a HUGE mathematical anomaly. An 80% swing in votes in a democratic primary?? Hard to create a narrative that works for that one. But look what was accomplished... no possibility of an (R) even running!

What's really messed up is that Trump is possibly actually investing ("trading futures") in the opposite happening. Yet, some people will probably believe he will actually get what he allegedly wants and bet that way. Market manipulation at its slimiest.

President Trump called on the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates Friday after the August jobs report came in stronger than expected, threatening to cut off trade with several countries if the central bank doesn’t budge.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday that U.S. employers added 162,000 jobs last month, well above the 53,000 that economists were anticipating.

Trump touted the “great” jobs numbers Friday before quickly turning his attention to the Fed, which he has long pushed to slash rates.

“Lower the interest rates because the U.S.A. is a much stronger credit than it was just a short time ago!” he wrote in a post on Truth Social. “A STRONG COUNTRY MEANS A LOWER INTEREST RATE – IT’S A BETTER CREDIT.”

“Without the United States agreeing to allow them their big surpluses, and we could stop that immediately, they would no longer be considered financially ELITE!” he added. “LOWER THE RATE OR I’LL STOP TRADING WITH COUNTRIES WITH WHICH WE HAVE A DEFICIT.”

The Fed has held rates steady at a range of 3.5 to 3.75 percent at its last five meetings, as inflation has remained persistently above the central bank’s target rate of 2 percent.

Annual inflation sat at 3.7 percent year over year in July, according to the personal consumption expenditures price index, the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation.

However, Friday’s job numbers appear to increase the chances that the central bank raises rather than lowers rates. The latest data alleviates concerns that higher rates are weakening the labor market and allows the Fed to turn its attention to curtailing inflation.

Traders are now pricing in a 60 percent chance that the Fed hikes rates by a quarter point at its next meeting this month, according to CME FedWatch, which tracks bets placed on future central bank decisions.

Trump touted Fed Chair Kevin Warsh as a “great new leader” Friday even as he ramped up pressure on his pick to run the central bank. The president frequently feuded with Warsh’s predecessor, Jerome Powell, over rate cuts, threatening to fire him on several occasions.

“The Fed Board, with its great new leader, must get smart – BE PATRIOTS for a change,” Trump said. “High interest rates put the U.S.A. at a very unfair disadvantage, and I won’t allow that to happen!”

This is just like blowing your nose.

This is a ridiculous argument. "This seems strange to me" isn't a valid argument.

I suppose you are talking about how Nithya Raman came back to beat Spencer Pratt for second place.

Where the votes are cast ie.... what location and part of the state are a strong indication as to who the votes will go to.

California leans heavily liberal. So to be surprised that most mail in ballots, which are known to be heavily democrat, would lean to a much more to a liberal candidate than a conservative candidate shouldn't come as a surprise to any rational thinking person.

After all, in the end that's why trump is fighting so hard to stop mail in ballots. They lean heavily democrat.

You're surprised a liberal came back after mail in votes were counted to beat a conservative? Really? In California?

Kind of like our preseason game, I'm not sure how much is about the QB, versus how much is about the competition. Stanford might not be very good this year. I'm seeing 3.5 projected wins. (Edit: per sports-reference, Stanford literally had the worst pass defense in all of FBS last season.)

Still Mensah and Toney did look good. We'll see if they can keep it going as the season heats up. I'll take as many good looking potential QB options as possible, please.

Big fan of Van. I have dumped a few vids of his in here. I was just listening to his channel on Sirus radio this morning out on the patio, drinking coffee and watching the hummingbirds battle over the feeder I keep.

Empirical: relying on experience or observation alone often without due regard for system and theory link

Just because some people have looked at something and collected their observations doesn't automatically mean those people actually know and understand what they are looking at. They're making judgment calls based on their experience which may or may not be accurate.

The problem with your purposefully BS straw man argument is that I'm not the one making claims of certainty.

Bringing in an outrageous mention of aliens isn't childish at all.

False certainty is the act of a "child." Doubt is the act of an adult that has come to understand how little we actually know.

Mommy tells little Suzy that Santa brought her presents. Suzy observes presents under the tree with Santa's name on them. Based on that empirical data Suzy concludes Santa must be real. Suzy never saw Santa, but his name is on the paper and mommy told her so, so it must be accurate, no? Your belief in elections seems to follow a similar sort of logic.

Darien Mensah wow did he light it up.

He throws a great ball very impressive.

Huge wins.

Sale versus Cristopher Sanchez classic. Braves set the tone in a big four game series.

I believe the results reflect the data and don't think the results are tinkered with.

The problem with the data is there is no way to check if it was a legal vote once the lever is pulled so to speak. It's just a ballot reflecting a vote for such and such a candidate. The fraud happens before the actual vote is cast.

My feeling is all voters on site need to show a valid I.D. No sane individual can make a sound argument on why that shouldn't be required. For mail-in my solution would be more controversial. I would require the ballot be signed and dated by the individual. That is the only way to make sure the person who received the ballot was the person actually voting. It would also be a means to check for multiple ballots being submitted by the same voter.

I have no doubt that illegal votes are being cast in mass. The last election in California is a classic example where the 3rd place candidate somehow managed to surge in to 2nd place after a massive tilt in the mailings as they came in days later.

Yeah... damn it! Would have been so awesome to see a fairytale run. What a treat though.
