They want to clear this stuff off the table while the Republicans are in charge so they can do it for as little money as possible.

So you've got something here where the damage is likely in the trillions and they're going to hand out a few billion after making tens of billions in profit.

I don't think Democrats would hold them much more accountable but they probably would squeeze a few more rules and regulations out of them. It's like how Microsoft settled their antitrust under a Republican president.

And your opposition runs with your slogan then you fucked up son and it's time to get a new slogan.

Ronald Reagan was an absolute piece of shit but he knew politics and he said it best, when you're explaining you're losing.

If you were drowning. Fair enough. But the thing is when somebody is drowning more often than not they can take their rescuer down with them while they're panicking.

I think the Democrats are trying to save us from drowning but at the same time I think that if they start to go down with us because we won't stop panicking then well, they don't have the strength of character to go down with us.

I'm not sure I can blame them for that. At some point we have got to stop being in a constant state of mild or extreme terror and making bad decisions because of it. The problem is once you're in that state it's really hard to calm down and get out of it which is why so many people drown...

It's the AG and the governor. That also means the secretary of state will be a Democrat because the governor appoints them.

This is a big deal because those three seats control and oversee voting.

Now Democrats have a bad habit of refusing to wield power but the orange pedophile has gone after individual Democrats with the doj recently so they're starting to actually fear for their individual lives.

So I think that the Texas Democrats will actually wield that power for a change and this is going to make it really hard for the Republicans to cheat the way they need to cheat to win elections.

That's why I say Texas has flipped blue. The Democrats could potentially wussy out and let it flip back Red by allowing the Republican party to suppress their voters again like they've been doing for the last 50 years but I don't think they're going to do that this time because they are genuinely fearing for their lives and for good reason

Wealthy neighborhoods.

The air is much colder there so they cool better

That's weird but my guess is with the markets so fucked up one of the money people sat him the fuck down and told him to keep his damn mouth shut that's the only thing I can think of.

The entire thing was orchestrated by Hunter biden's laptop and a cabal of Hillary Clinton supporters

Was a consistent problem for the republicans. He kept showing up on their campaign trails to promote himself because of course he did and it kept hurting them in the polls.

The Democrats won't be able to pass much legislation of course but that's not the point they can at least stop the bleeding. Also if one of those corrupt pieces of shit on the supreme Court drop dead you can bet your ass the Democrats are not going to seat a trump appointee.

Losing the governorship is going to hurt. The Republicans need the governorship to do a lot of the voter suppression that has kept the state red. The reason Paxton was able to get a shot at a senate seat is because he's the one that delivered Texas for Trump in 2016 by pushing voter suppression to new heights.

And the Democrats did all this despite the Republicans out spending them 4 to 1 and Republicans shutting down polling locations with their usual tricks like sending broken voting machines or not sending supplies needed to run the stations. Also dear God Trump did everything he could to make it hard to vote by mail slowing down the post office. If your mail has been coming late you can thank Trump. And that's before we talk about all the other nasty little tricks done to make it hard to vote by mail at the county level

If you oppose mail in voting you're a trump MAGA fascist.

I'm not insulting you I'm stating a fact. They got you and they own you and you will think the way they want you to think when they want you to think it.

You can easily look up and find the mail and voting is safe fair and reliable. Republicans oppose it because mail-in voting breaks one of their primary voter suppression tactics which is to make it difficult to vote on election Day. I can give you a whole day off if it takes 7 or 8 hours to vote because you have to drive all over town looking for a working voting machine and then wait in line for 8 hours then it doesn't matter if I gave you the whole fucking day off. Never mind that most people are so exhausted and overworked they're not going to stand in line for 8 hours on a day off they're going to go home and try and recover enough that they are body can do an extra shift this week and maybe make rent.

I suspect you know all this whether you like it or not. If you didn't you know it now.

So I say you're a fascist because you've given your heart and your brain over to the fascists. Even if you don't really agree with them you will still do what they tell you to do when they tell you to do it.

If for some reason you don't like that then you need to stop doing what they tell you to do. They are right now telling you to oppose male and voting. Are you going to keep doing it? Are you going to do what you're told like a good little fascist? That's up to you and nobody else but you. That responsibility is entirely on your shoulders.

Welcome to the party of personal responsibility. The real one.

Huh well I'll be damned. Shows how weak my elder scrolls lore is :)

That it's not named after one of the locations. Tamriel was pretty obviously cut up the way it was specifically to make it so they could make games like that and kind of have you going on a sort of virtual tour of their world. Then again Oblivion wasn't named after one of the locations. But then again it was kind of the weakest of the three games so...

I'm cautiously optimistic. I hope they don't AI slopify it. I want my freakish nightmares made in the character creator to be 100% human nightmares :)

You can just not connect these screens to the internet. Some of the more annoying ones that are really cheap will give you a bit of nagging when you boot them up before switching to your video.

Don't get me wrong we should properly regulate businesses but this is way down on the list of crimes a company might commit or laws that we refuse to enforce.

Every single TV manufacturer is doing this. If you have a problem with it just buy a really really huge PC monitor I guess. It'll cost you about $1,500 instead of $300 though.

And there is no point to getting angry at companies for doing what companies do. Not when people on this forum refused to vote for the kind of politicians that would properly regulate them. I guarantee you some of the people reading this will vote Republican on Tuesday. Even though the Republicans refuse to enforce laws against what Vizio is doing here.
