The irony here is I'm pretty sure on average openly gay men are physically stronger and earn more than their straight counterparts.

Really gives me vibes of some immature 14-year-old boy trying to create a bodybuilding Instagram account except she's a grown woman.

Once again, I think we're genuinely headed to a place where the divide in American politics is between normies and people like this, and it will not be pretty.

So any actual status updates?

In Tehran, they’ve closed the road to Khomeneis mausoleum and the IRG is apparently out. So most likely the regime is looking for someway to break the news.

Oh and the Tehran chief of police was killed

Not to justify Milei's erratic and often childish behavior, but if Sánchez's own ministers are going to be the ones hurling insults at him first... can the Spanish government really claim a moral high ground here? I'm not that convinced myself.

no

the govt needs a really good reason to force us to do or not do something (ya know, because they can kill you if you disagree in ways they don't like), and wearing a mask in public for whatever stupid reason isn't a good enough reason.  Of course private property owners (or their representatives) should be able to ban (or require) masks if they want on their property and for whatever stupid reason they want.

Minnesota, but Virginia's not close behind. Youngkin's still pretty popular there.

Most likely, since he'll be even more unhinged and insane than before. Probably after the Democrats have retaken the House in 2026.

if its a free and fair election.

It won't be if Trump wins. Many things are uncertain; this is written in stone. The next time a Republican wins a presidential election, that's the last election that can reasonably be called an election.

Trump, though neither side is running a good campaign. Biden should just not be running again after 9% inflation.

So any actual status updates?

Somewhere between too early and too close.

I've kind of finally been beaten down enough where I am getting concerned...at least somewhat. In five months a lot already happened, and a lot more is still coming around the corner where Biden still shouldn't be written off, and Trump shouldn't be considered a shoo-in.

I will maintain that Trump does not win the popular vote or win in anywhere near a landslide. He only wins due to third parties or an enthusiasm gap-much like 2016. Hell, I don't even think he wins the rust belt trio-if at all-by more than a point from his 2016 margins.

I agree with most of this.

[But if he didn't want to be President anymore, he shouldn't have run for reelection.]

Trump. Not only is Biden going to lose, he's trying to lose.

What makes you think that he is trying to lose?
Why would he want Trump to win?

He's flip-flopping on Israel/Gaza instead of taking a position and sticking to it. It might be a lose-lose situation, but he's managing to infuriate both sides. As to why he wants Trump to win, I'm not entirely sure - that's the main hole. Maybe he doesn't want to deliver what his base wants. But if he didn't want to be President anymore, he shouldn't have run for reelection.

I don't think that he'd be running if he didn't want to win.

He's running because his handlers want him to.
