Oh yeah, everything you wrote about excess mortality in rural vs urban areas is 100% correct. But the Census aimed to enumerate everyone living in the country as of April 1, 2020, and it hit NYC really hard right at the start. So the fact that the rest of the country eventually caught up with the mortality rate didn't help NY State in the Census at all.

COVID has already had an impact on the election. The census date was April 1, 2020. In March of 2020, COVID had started to severely hit NYC but was only ramping up in other areas. NY ended up losing a congressional seat in that census, by only 89 people. There's no doubt that COVID's timing screwed up NY State's congressional map, and contributed to the slim Republican majority in this year's congress.

According to Trump, Putin replied: "No way". Trump responded: "Way".

There are such things as L1 switches, they are not really switches in the Ethernet sense but rather more like crossbar switches. They can selectively connect all traffic from two arbitrary ports together, and then change that on the fly, without a wiring change. Applications that are obsessed with getting the lowest possible latency might opt for those.

Why did you post the same article twice, from two different sources?

You really want him to ask his buddy who took his popularity from a reality show and parlayed it into the Presidency , and might just do it again?

And when the place gets investigated over this, the owner is going to complain that its due to his Trump support, when in reality he was just looking for a way to ignore regulations. Trump supporters always get upset when rules are applied equally to them.

It could certainly be litigated, but there is probably enough grey area for Musk to get away with it.

It certainly won't get litigated in the next 2.5 weeks before election day. And if Trump wins, we know Trump's AG will not only not prosecute a thing related to Trump's friends, they will weaponize the DoJ against anyone who goes against Trump's friends.

The Harris campaign should be all over this.

"Donald Trump is in trouble, that's why he's trying to buy votes in PA. And he's too broke to do it himself, he needs a sugar daddy to pay the bill for him. Sad!"

My exotic cat caught the feline version and it got in his ear.

Now he's a Def Leppard

 

The announcers were very excited about it while it happened

 

Former President Trump on Wednesday clashed with an ABC News correspondent at a convention of Black journalists, slamming her “disgraceful” questioning after she asked why Black voters should trust him with another term.

 

The phrase “TRUMP TOO SMALL” stems from a memorable moment in the 2016 Republican presidential debates, during which Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., made a crude joke about the size of Trump’s hands.

“And you know what they say about guys with small hands,” Rubio quipped.

 

Biden’s campaign proposed that the first debate between the presumptive Democratic and Republican nominees be held in late June and the second in September before early voting begins. Trump responded to the letter in an interview with Fox News digital, calling the proposed dates “fully acceptable to me” and joked about providing his own transportation.

 

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) scolded Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) during a closed-door GOP conference meeting Thursday, telling the Florida Republican to sit down when he tried to interrupt McCarthy’s remarks.
