This is why I said, the first time it happened with that immigration lawyer, she should have immediately brought it to a judge.
This will keep happening until there’s some kind of court action.
Arsenic and cyanide are all natural. ;)
It was 144 1 year ago, and 255 now, but that’s just showing it returning to normal after hitting the peak at 479.
The reason it climbed to 479 was because of Elon’s association with the Trump campaign, people thought it would be good for the company, then the bubble popped.
Probably not a bad idea, but not for the reasons he thinks…

I was shocked at how ranked choice balloting got it’s ass kicked in 2024:
Alaska: Voted to keep their ranked choice system by just 664 votes.
https://alaskabeacon.com/2024/11/20/alaska-chooses-to-keep-ranked-choice-voting-begich-defeats-peltola-unofficial-results-show/Colorado: No 55% to 45%
https://tsscolorado.com/colorado-voters-easily-reject-ranked-choice-voting/Idaho: No 70% to 30%
https://idahocapitalsun.com/2024/11/06/election-2024-idaho-proposition-1-ballot-initiative-trailing-in-early-unofficial-election-results/Nevada: No 52.96% to 47.04%

https://oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2024/11/05/results-indicate-voters-opposing-measure-117-on-switch-to-ranked-choice-voting/Portland held a ranked choice election for Mayor and City Council and saw it depress voter turnout in those races by as much as 20% compared with non-ranked choice elections on the same ballot. People just skipped those lines instead of voting.
Washington D.C.: Yes 72.89% to 27.11%

My kid got a degree in computer science and is making the AIs, he’s making bank. So I guess his degree worked out!
Fun fact: He started in High School by making a language parser for debate articles.
Have you seen the inverted Tesla logo?
Every month from becoming the nominee until the election: Harris proposed an immediate cease fire, hostage release, and two state solution.

If you “didn’t hear anything about it” then you weren’t actually listening.

They will still try to find a way to blame Obama.

How much does it cost to even have a baby in a hospital? 🤔
Black women are not the base of the party, that’s a common misconception.
In 2023, just 14.4% of the US population identified as black. Women are just over 50% of that.
https://www.pewresearch.org/race-and-ethnicity/fact-sheet/facts-about-the-us-black-population/
https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/PST045224#PST045224
So Just over 7% of the US population are black women. You don’t win elections catering to 7% of the population. Even if they all vote for you, which they won’t, a party can’t survive on 7%.
The Democratic party represents 45.1 million people out of 186.5 million people registered to vote. 24.18% of the voting population.
