    So... the shittiest generations in a Millenia are getting their way? We're ****ed.

    Go watch TikTok for an hour and tell me differently.

    Get back to us when God makes every uterus perfect and every fertilized egg attach as it should ... instead, billions of fertilized eggs
    are miscarried every year. God has no interest in every fetus reaching term.

    Lol.

    I'll make sure to let the remaining few soldiers from WWII know that the entitled snowflake young'ns don't approve because their youtube channel hasn't yet earned them a new house.

    :banana:DON'T FORGET ..! Democrats just elected a deceased candidate { not Fetterman } in Pennsylvania ... :blownose:
    From Twitter
    •“You got dead people voting and dead people winning…”
    • “You can’t make this up, America’s elections are a hot mess.”

    ~ Change in election procedures due to 'Covid-19 catastrophe ' was a biggie. Democrats really pulled off a coup de grâce on legitimate voting — without DOJ checking for the authenticity of ballots.

    He died "recently" with not enough time to make a change. But then again, people voted for Ross Perot in 1992 even though he officially withdrew from the race in August. Same thing, just different reasons why they were on the ballot still.

    No, they are the ones playing like they are still capable of being placed in a civil war because the kids making funny dance videos are running circles around them.
    (And will continue to do so until one of the loses the ability to vote)

    TikTok is based on user algorithms.

    Mine is full of architectural design and building systems, car reviews, upcoming movies, cooking and emerging technologies along with animal videos.

    I have a friend that mainly sees thirst traps and another that is bombarded with everything imaginable.

    It is literally what you make of it

    TikTok is fun. My page is filled with NASA, cooking, comedy, pranks, sports, politics, big ass titties and some cute doggos. It's easy to lose hours there.

    Really ?

    Please show the examples of gerrymandering in states where they don’t control the legislatures ?

    And cite the specific laws that you say changed the votes ?

    Perot "dropped out", but re-entered by Oct. He took part in the debates

    Both parties have elected recently deceased over the years

    I like YT. Those ASMR massage videos are good if you need something to put you to sleep.

    As for cooking, Kent Rollins?

    Perot never wanted to be President. His whole point of running was making sure George HW Bush does not get reelected because of NAFTA, which was Bush's idea, followed by Clinton.

    The MAGA militia ought to give it up, they lost, no wave, hardly even a ripple, a historical defeat against a first term President in a midterm election, time to move on, it’s history

    Nah. My cooking TT vids are mostly outdoor grilling cooking and I love watching duets with chefs commentating on others cooking. LOL

    Losers are bitter, particularly those with shattered delusions.

    Screen Shot 2022-11-12 at 7.31.48 PM.png

    Let's hope we have a return to civility and respect for the democratic process.

    Losers unable to honestly and graciously acknowledge defeat can provoke goon attacks on outnumbered police defending our Congress - even after over two centuries of a noble tradition of peaceful transfers of power. That diminishes the nation.

    This is the adult conduct our nation needs:

    Screen Shot 2022-11-12 at 9.43.08 PM.png
    “As someone who was the Democratic nominee, I had the privilege to concede this race to J.D. Vance.
    Because the way this country operates is that you lose an election, you concede.
    You respect the will of the people. We can’t have a system where if you win,
    it’s a legitimate election, and if you lose, someone stole it.
    That is not how we can move forward in the United States.”

    In all humility, let's hasten to give credit where credit's due.

    Democrats could not have done it without Trump.

    While that's true, it is a gross oversight to not mention all the mini Don-Dons, who ran on Republican tickets, as well as to not credit Republican legislatures, having either pre-established, overly restrictive abortion laws, set to go into effect w/ the SCOTUS overturning of Roe, or rushing to pass them, in the wake of that decision. Lastly, current Republican Congressmen, telegraphing their agenda-- national abortion restriction laws (after hypocritically praising the High Court's ruling that this should be left to the states), government shut downs and even defaulting on our Debt obligations, trickle down tax breaks to the rich, and starving out Social Security and Medicare, to pay for it, while getting rid of the just passed Democratic limits on out of pocket, pharmaceutical expenses-- could only have helped the Democratic result, and severely tempered the midterm vote, for the minority Party.

    Authoritarian overreach did prove unpopular.

    That sums it up, well.

    EDIT: Nonetheless, the Republicans will still pick up at least a few seats in the House (& almost certainly the majority), as well as have nearly held their own in the Senate (their hopes to keep things unchanged, rest squarely on the shoulders of Hershel Walker, who it is clearly a mistake to trust with much of anything, including hopes). So, it's not like there was a sudden, great awakening of all (and, to be fair, I do not know, for sure, how many of the winning Republicans were Trump acolytes). But we may have reached a threshold of resistance to the insane charges, and MAGA overreach.
