A tipping point has been reached.

Last edited Tue Oct 29, 2024, 01:35 PM - Edit history (1)

Some passengers on the GOP Titanic, of the White Supremacy Line have been chatting with the navigator (name unknown) who has determined that the ship is headed for Davy Jones' Locker.

No action was needed with the giant iceberg in sight. "Heck, it's fake sighting", but perhaps with the public meltdowns, the vilest of the vile dancing on the graves of fallen heroes, and so many other crimes and dishonors that could no longer be normalized, the klaxon sounded.

Some are deserting the sinking ship by jumping off.
Some are deserting the sinking ship in a lifeboat, so as to come back and salvage the wreck for parts.

But in every case, the ship had reached the tipping point one suspected but could only hope for, until it happened.

Enjoy your ride to hell, orange disgrace to everything honorable, decent and fair.



Oh, the shark bites
AND GET OUT THE VOLTS.

I personally believe that half the clicks on the internet are accidental, from people scrolling. OOPS.

ONE app since HyperCard disappeared lets me scroll without activating anything, Apple's pages.app. No browser spares me accidental clicks. Desktops with mice are so much better in this regard. I found a Bluetooth mouse for the iPad, which helps a lot.

I had the same problem with my old computer, it would often duplicate a post x2, I would have to go back and delete one of those.

Me in 2016: "No way in hell can tRump beat Hillary" (Well, to be honest he didn't, Hillary had 3 million more votes than tRump, he just eked out wins in a few swing states).

538 website just before the 2016 election: Hillary 71.4% chance of winning the electoral vote, tRump 28.6% chance. Hillary 302 Electoral Votes, tRump 235 Electoral Votes.

SO.... I'm cautiously optimistic. It all depends on voter turnout (and no last minute bullshit from the likes of James Comey).

It is.

A Comey moment is coming for him.

And a Willie Horton moment as well.

Drove down 202 in Bucks County PA today - More 45 signs and smears signs against Harris than their were when I drove home from the office last Thursday.

My hope is that 45's die hards fanbois are just becoming nuttier.

I love the ocean and everything in it. Sharks don't deserve tRump's diseased carcass.
Wouldn't it be ironic if the batteries were teslas !
