It's important to note that McBride's motives for leaking the information, as conceded by his own lawyers in court,  was not to 'expose the crimes,' but because he believed the soldiers had done nothing wrong and were being unfairly investigated. This is the slant he went to the ABC with, who upon receiving the material realized that no, actually the soldiers had committed serious war crimes. I'm not entirely comfortable with his prison sentence, but honesty is important. He wasn't trying to bring the truth to light but rather derail active investigations

And yet still revealed valuable information.

What's Farsi for 'Mull of Kintyre'?

While this was a tragedy, it's important to have a sense of humor.
Anyhow, a relatively less troublesome Iran is still a vital piece of keeping global stability relatively preserved. The government of Iran, as bad as it is, could do worse if I actually wanted to.

Cue the meme about how Minnesota DFLs with a 1-seat majority muscle through everything the State needs, while New-York Dems with supermajorities can't even de-rig a blatantly Republican House map.

seems about right. In the end it could be Trump 54% Biden 40% Others 6%.

among all Battlegrounds and ex Battleground states, Florida one of the states I’m quite sure Trump would win in double digits. Even though somehow Trump support would collapse considerably between now and election day, he would still win Florida comfortably. Biden and the Democratic brand is just to unpopular here.

Palm Beach might only be a 1-4% Biden win this time around. Jews and non-Mexican Hispanics are groups he is losing ground with and plenty located here.

I wonder if Trump will win Dade County 55-42 or something like that.

seems about right, but probably high single digits like 9%. The way I see it now, Biden could only win Alachua, Gadsden, Leon, Osceola, Orange, Broward and Palm Beach counties at this point.

I live in Palm Beach county, while I don’t see Trump winning this county yet, I’m quite sure there would be a considerable shift to the GOP. The county commission just flipped to 4R3D last 2022 elections, before that it was 6D1R!

Even Jared Moskowitz lost the Palm Beach county portion of Florida 23rd last elections.

How do most people you know plan to vote?

I don’t usually ask people for their political preferences, I find that coming in too strong and meddlesome. But in general, on my observation, they absolutely hate both candidates and they would’ve preferred somebody else winning in their respective primaries. The hispanics I know though in my area doesn’t like Biden.

It's hard to find ppl who unironically like Biden.

Except for on this forum.

Lol the people that votes R are rich not poor people c'mon

McLaughlin is useless. Their data is worth next to nothing.

The other polling firms also suggest that most people think the economy is bad and getting worse, which is why Biden is losing.


He is also losing because of Harris whom is a failed Veep

What leftists has Elon Musk cracked down on?

I'm sure he's removed accounts hypocritically, but I just searched for John Brown Gun Club and got like 50 chapters. So if he did remove it in 2022 it caused a Streisand effect. The people in the second link were all reinstated and it was declared a mistake.

He can do whatever he wants, but it's pretty obvious that Elon Musk does not care about free speech and only wants people like this guy on the website because he personally agrees with him. There's little plausible deniability anymore. I'd be shocked if Elon Musk didn't believe outright that the Jews are controlling the world and attempting to manipulate fertility rates to ensure a majority-minority west. Just look at what he says, who he associates with, what he highlights on social media, and tell me with a straight face that free speech is his primary concern right now.

I've seen pretty convincing arguments that Elon's brain was completely cooked by:

1) his wife leaving him - attracted him to manosphere/red pill stuff and
2) having a trans child he doesn't accept

These personal life items turned him fully to the alt-right.

You are correct. It's pretty clear he wanted to turn Twitter into a massive echo chamber to air his pathetic grievances.

I've seen this happen to completely normal people. I know a guy personally who has turned into a Timothy McVeigh type purely from listening to the Joe Rogan podcast over the past couple years. It's sad to see.

It really does happen quite a lot and I don't think anybody has put forth a truly convincing theory to explain just why. The brain rot of internet echo chambers is definitely part of the explanation though. It also never seems to run the other way where someone on the right or the center all of a sudden becomes a rabid marxist.

Oh that happens too. "Marxist" doesn't really mean much but a significant portion of the "tankie" livestream audience consists of former alt-righters.

As for the theory, I think it's just voluntary brainwashing. These people will go to work and play seven or eight hours of repetitive political content directly into their ears every single day. A lot of these people need it just to function. They can't handle silence anymore. I know people who used to love reading or video games or exercise, or whatever, and they've replaced it with podcasts or YouTube videos. This can continue for years. Years of listening to several hours of people telling you the same thing over and over. Of course these people go crazy.

If there are members here who have a solid and documented record of calling past elections correctly, I'm curious what you think the result in November will be?

Trump is going to win and i got feeling that he might even get the popular vote
It mid to late may and uh things are not looking Good for joe and with the fact trump have taken the strategy of trying to stay a bit quiet so the media focus on Biden to make him the fool candidate and doing rally in states that either swing or barely support biden it seem like trump going to win this election.

Trump may win, but he'll never, ever win the popular vote.

Well your right for now but that might change, a few months ago i thought trump was certified to lose this election and Biden would get a another 4 years but now? things look bright for Donnie so with maybe a bit of Israel situation or some inflation that might increases Trump odds of winning.
