blubo - the answer is "null", it has no answer, just like Kamala. It's a false equation. You can work it out to 49/3 but, like I said, beware of equations that contain a radical expression. You always have to go back and check the answer.

If you and everyone else works hard, you dont need my assets and I will leave with my family, where they belong. This will happen and my family will reap the benefits of me working hard and build on what they create themselves. Meanwhile, the likes of you will continue to have their hand out, not work hard but kick and scream equal opportunity for everyone. You are exact type of person I will tell my kids not to be.
A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children, and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

I "MAY" be correct? LOL

I'm absolutely correct. I promise you. 🧐

I've had to retract some things occasionally on here, but that will NEVER happen when it comes to math. LOL

Although Dion has tried to argue mathematics with me occasionally, but you can guess how that worked out.

(I'm just poking fun. Like I've said on here before, I do math problems on a chalkboard in my den, FOR FUN. So, at the end of the day, I'm probably the biggest loser on this board. LOL)

I mean, I have a collection of first edition math textbooks, for f***'s sake. LOL

i’m now glad that i didn’t post my answer 1.5
 
This place gets spammed with memes on the regular. But yeah no if you have something with the gravitas of a Dr. Seuss piece from 1941 I'd definitely love to see it.

Yes.

The right got cocky after the debate and rightfully so. Then the assassination attempt happened and I believe Trump even thought, "There's no way I lose now. I'll have all the sympathy." Enter Harris and Walz and now Dems are united and Trump and Vance decided to go full culture war over blackness, DEI, and tampons. I can't stress just how stupid that is when you're running for POTUS. Harris will settle into her lead, the DNC should give her another slight bump, and then the first debate decides where the numbers go next. If Harris is solid in the debate, I expect her to stay the favorite. At this point, I think she takes MI, WI, MN, and PA.
I understand this and see it as a valid argument to the fact that Trump is in fact actually in the lead if the vote happens today without any illegals voting.

That said, I’ve also seen several big time celebrities such as Eddie Griffin and Katt Williams making videos about Kamala and her chameleon style and they don’t really support her.

Now they don’t speak for all black people but if they are normally left and they are saying it, then you know 1000s of others do too.

Just a counter point to the idea of Trumps failed logic.
 
Unrelated news, @HymanKaplan...my whole life the days off for a baseball team were either monday or thursday. Last couple years the scheduling has been stupid. The Cards have a day off on a sunday, that makes zero financial sense. Baseball teams should play friday through sunday like they always have. Also, don't like playing rivals less and American league teams more. I don't care at all about playing the Mariners.

On a divisional note, @warrior-cat @trueblujr2 ...the Cards and Reds have a 3 game series starting Monday. Not sure any bragging rights can be gained. It's sadly 2 mediocre teams trying to be less mediocre.
We’ve both been pretty quiet about our respective favorite teams in this forum this season. I’ll admit St. Louis has the better team and the Reds front Office and coaching staff continues to kill it. But St.Louis has improved this year (Blech) just threw up a little in my mouth typing that. I guess more important things have taken precedence per the discussions in this forum this year. Wish we could just have a beer and watch a game together sometime.
 
I suspect that Kamala is still riding her presidential announcement wave and I would bet the hype will die down this week. Could be wrong. But this is usually how it goes.
 
Orwell hated Churchill. Big Brother was Brendan Bracken, one of Churchill’s toadies who covered for his screwups.

Did you learn that at the friends of Stalin meeting? FOS isn't really friends of Stalin.

Orwell was wrong. He wrote a book that predicted the right would try to control society the way the left has. He got it ass backwards.

I own a f***ing vintage SLIDE RULE (and know how to USE It) 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄
I've got one.....and don't have a clue. Don't remember how the thing works.

Remember when I first started at UK all the engineering students walking around with them hanging on their belts. Next year (or so)....all gone and replaced with huge 'pocket calculators'. Early calculators....had a friend who flunked an exam because his calculator screwed up every equation.
 
Tom Cotton said today that he is pretty confident when Harris is forced to answer questions in public things will swing back to Trump. Two things bother me with this. If they are kind of sitting and waiting for that it is obvious she is trying to run the clock out for people finding her out. Relying on a debate is not near enough. A ton of these people don't care if she talks or not. They are voting Dem no matter what they do to our country. The very few that might care that doesn't keep up with things daily like some of us it could make some difference if they could get her exposed enough.

And second, Miller needs to demand Trump only focus on the economy and border when he speaks so that message is drilled in voters heads before the early vote begins. He should not waste time degrading but just compare what he is going to with what they are going to do. A lot of people will by now not vote for Trump just because he degrades people. They have no idea about any policy and probably don't even care. So Trump needs to just stay focused strictly on policy and try and educate at least a few people that he could flip. Most people that know anything about the policy differences already know who they are going to vote for. Trump's policies are ALL to help this country and its citizens. Harris policies are far left for all the stupid stuff in the country and things that will help them stay in power, which is siding with the freaks, the racists, the uninformed, the non caring, the anti Americans and the illegals.
 
Ok so the real reason is what you state here? That you don't like certain other people and would rather burn everything you have in a big pile like Heath Ledger's Joker than see them benefit from it. Exactly as I already said, you're welcome to whatever motivations you want, just be clear-eyed about them.

So, again, why do they need both if the hard work is enough?

I completely agree we need different priorities with our tax dollars. I'm a far lefty, who advocates for a complete reform of basically every government institution. Our tax dollars should absolutely be helping those in need. Some of those in need at the moment happen to be Ukrainians, lying bloody and thrashing on the field of battle.

Materials testing. Minerals. Mostly coal. Further details available upon request. You?
I don’t like lazy people or people that feel they are entitled. Doesn’t matter race so hopefully you weren’t going down that road. Not burning anything? I’m wanting to give what I created to my kids. Might really really blown your mind here….if something were to happen to my family at once, my brother and brother in law and their families get my assets. I never thought one second of giving it to the government, nor should I.

Banking. Didn’t get a free hand out like you might sssume. Started out as a teller right out of college. No family in banking so started at the lowest and worked my way up with hard work and didn’t make excuses when I saw more wealthy people than me. It motived me like it should all people.

Agree... but I don't know if Trump is disciplined enough to stay on point. He is simply not a professional politician and tends to meander from thought to thought without a directed purpose in delivering his message. This particular flaw could end up causing him to fumble away the election. This should be a easy layup to nail Harris on her positions. But frequently it seems as though Trump is trying to turn the election into a shot from midcourt for himself instead.
 
Deduct the millions and millions of Dem/lib votes in California, New York, Illinois, Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts....and that 1% lead disappears quickly. To the point that Trump wins the EC.
LA County alone has a larger population than 43 states. On par with Georgia.
 
Vance with a killshot. Nice! He has had some great one liners I will give him that!


I know a few here hate the Vance choice, but he has been good. Solid whether he is giving a speech or in interviews. (Vance is the anti-Democrat cause he is actually better in interviews than with a script). He will kill Walz in a debate. Walz claims he has been in war zones, he will leave the Vance debate believing he has been.

Orwell absolutely hated Stalin and the Soviets. Wrote of it more than once. Distrusted the communists he worked with in Spain. He may have called himself a democratic socialist, but he had to see that Marxism was a failed ideology.
He was anti-Marxist. I can forgive the early socialists, idealists who genuinely wanted better for the common man, someone like Orwell whose worldview was shaped by the great depression, the spanish civil war and the horrors or WW2.
But no one with any sense tdoay is a socialist. The data are overwhelming and the historical record is completely damning. It's a corrupt, failed and discredited ideology which can only lead to ruin.

Socialism sounds like a great idea until you realize people are corrupt. lol

He correctly hated Stalin for what he did. Animal Farm is a direct allegory of Stalin's co-opting of the movement in the USSR. He was an advocate for socialism his entire life.
