       @Humpleupagus @gnarley_boot @Wormwood @Hyperhidrosis Trump is at least one step ahead of the DNC, probably two or three. Trump forced the DNC's hand.The DNC was going to nominate Biden without primary contest, then declare Biden unfit or fatally accident / maim him, then simply name his replacement since the convention's already over.So the DNC offered Trump a debate, but with impossibly unfair terms. Trump did not negotiate, "Agreed." What the DNC wanted was Trump to have refused to debate so they could claim Biden wanted to debate but Trump refused. Then they said, "Ok, we also demand this, that, and the other," and Trump said, "Agreed."The DNC was taken completely by surprise, the AI had not predicted this from the Master of The Art of the Deal in a million years—statistical probability zero.Now, the DNC has to dump Biden before the nomination, opening up the field for candidates to contest each other.Biden has been exposed as a liar by attacking Trump with accusatory stories like Charlottesville that even the most underinformed of the public knows were debunked as much as seven years ago, tarnishing the reputation of not just the Democrat party but also the media for its reporting;the DNC has been exposed as lying for hiding Biden's mental debilitation;Biden's failures in his presidency have been laid bare for the whole world to see from the debate;The DNC must now expend money on a primary, money originally all slated for running against Trump;possible Democrat candidates will now attack each other through ads and debates while vying for nomination.Trump is going to go golfing smelling like a rose while the Democrat Party tears itself to pieces."We're gonna win so much you're gonna get tired of winning!"

       @Humpleupagus @gnarley_boot @Wormwood @Hyperhidrosis Hey, I'm no political analyst. I'm just another one of the peons they're hell-bent on destroying sitting at my keyboard musing.It is Washington DC, and the rules saying they can only name a replacement without contest if the nominee is already selected were arbitrary rules they themselves concocted out of thin air and fairy dust in the first place. If the DNC does say there's fine print saying they can nominate Oprah Winfrey any time they feel like it, who am I to argue.Who might argue are the ravenous alpha wolves hungry for the power and glory of the most powerful position on Earth, which just went up for grabs.I have a feeling those who think they can raise enough money for the services of the international voting machine companies are not sleeping tonight—they're out raising money.

       @Humpleupagus @gnarley_boot @Wormwood @Hyperhidrosis They're waiting, aren't they‽After the way CNN, within one second of the debate end, attacked Biden's mental acuity en masse, with all 8–12 hosts/pundits each trying to outdo each other's Bidensults, I can't be the only one who thought they surely had to oust Biden immediately.But I understand the Obama/Pelosi crews have cajoled Biden to stay in office or whatever he's in, and Morning Joe says Biden's sharper than he ever was.Now, I take your "Two more weeks" comment to mean they're going to tough out the next two weeks, not that they'd have to hold a primary and sort out the field within two weeks.Guess you can always go requery the AI, "Ok, what now, then?"

       @Humpleupagus @gnarley_boot @Wormwood @Hyperhidrosis CNN might have whitewashed its analysis, seeing as they now only publish this video titled "The Best Analysis Moments of CNN's Presidential Debate".But still, 50 seconds or so in, the moment CNN cuts to analysis, all these recognizable names keep trying to outdo the previous's negative take, saying Biden's unfit for office.That's a lot of hosts and pundits to reprimand.

       @gnarley_boot @Humpleupagus @Wormwood @Hyperhidrosis Thanks! Nice to get an inside scoop.I wonder if that was Trump's first realization that we mean neither conspiracy theory nor exaggeration when we claim Brandon is naught but a husk.Trump's face was hard to read. Could have been both sympathy for the devil and a realization that the deep state is really really deep. Profoundly deep. Mariana Trench deep.

       @GoodComradeLolaDaviet @Autumn @ThatCrazyDude That's not very Indian, is it?Back in the day when speed demons used 2400 baud, I used to read a journal written by a designer who lived in (now) Russia. He told of a box on the sidewalk in front of his apartment building that had been there for 4-1/2 years. The box was left behind by someone while moving to another apartment, and after 4-1/2 years the cardboard was filthy, wet, and sort of melting into the sidewalk pavement. No one had ever moved the box or anything in it. It was the responsibility of the mover to put the box out in a place and manner the trash truck would pick up. Movement of the box by anyone else, like over three feet for trash-truck pickup, would be someone being a do-gooder, going above and beyond their responsibilities.It was unacceptable in the communist society for the trash man to walk over three steps and retrieve the box for disposal. Why is he doing more or better work than everyone else? He would get cancelled for retrieving the box.For all I know the box is still there.Also, under communism no one could put anything in their yard or, say, a decoration on the front door for a holiday. Why do they have extra money? Why are they trying to be better than others? Someone should see something, say something about that.Sorry for rambling, but knowing how communism works from that Russian's journal, I think the other Indians burned her double-wide down because of communist minimum-income mentality which causes all of the society to narc on everyone else and hold them back if they try to become above-average.

       @GoodComradeLolaDaviet @Autumn @ThatCrazyDude You're on an attack vector for some unknown reason.You didn't include in your post the reason the other Indians gave the gal for burning down her house. I think, though, that you would believe them, since you believe the society in which the Indians are now living is the one they developed over the millennia.And yes, I've drunk shortdogs with the Mohaves, Chemehuevis, (leftover) Hopis, and Navajos, and yes, they hate you so much after they've drunk the shortdog you just gave them, you'll throw your leg back over the barbed wire fence so you're out of the reservation and quite a bit safer.I didn't say any of 'em give a rats ass about Russia or know anything about it, and the story of the psychological effects of government-funded societies was the exact opposite of simply spewing socioeconomic jargon.

       @fpcgc There are suddenly (to me) Chinese sizes for clothing, which is two sizes smaller than clothes for real people (sorry for that dig, but I couldn't help myself). A Chinese XL = Real M, a Real L = Chinese XXL, of course the price goes up a dollar or two for the extra material in the graduated sizes, and that's all the explanation needed.I'm not saying the people are smaller, Ima jus sayin they lyin'.

       @Flick @FemaleIsNotAFeeling @tangleofsnakes Hey, I thought that was a special vegetable washing sink for the rich folks.I'm not sure the manufacturer would let you buy it if you told them you want it because you don't have room for another full side—reputations not your own are at stake here.😉

       @Flick VAT is evil.Harris will institute it if elected but calls it something else, like "I can't believe it's not VAT" or something.

       @Flick I looked into it many years (decades) ago, and goods were taxed at each stage of additional value. Instead of people only paying taxes on their profit, they pay the jiswa at every stage additional value is added.  If a smelter buys ore and converts it into pure metals—those buying the pure metals to make products with pays no tax on the products, only their profit. Same as the metal goes to a foundry that combines the metals to produce different types of steel. Same when the steel goes to the manufacturer of k'nooter valves to make valves. Same when the motor manufacturer installs the k'nooter valves in a motor. Same when the car manufacturer buys the motor. Tax (sales) is paid only when the product (the car) is sold.  With VAT, in addition to tax on profits, the smelter pays VAT on the ore, the foundry pays VAT on the pure metal, the k'nooter valve manufacturer pays VAT on the steel, the motor manufacturer pays VAT on the valves, the car manufacturer pays VAT on the motor, the car manufacturer pays VAT on the car, and then the consumer pays VAT along with sales tax on the product (car).  VAT is evil.
