Kind of weird. Fell in a cistern in Florida and couldn’t get out.

3 hunters are dead after trying to rescue a dog trapped in a hole in the ground, authorities say Dog is dead also.

Maybe there was poison gas involved.

I guess the hypothetical isn't necessary; evidently, he can be the worst POTUS ever (according to you) in the history of Earth whether he won or not.



He couldn't be the worst President because he didn't win.

I think what we'll find out is in less than 10 years, the evidence will present itself, and he'll be stripped of the previous title he held.

Does he hold the title or doesn't he, as of right now? I'm sure that you can agree that, if you ask any sane person who the POTUS is, they will say, "Joe Biden." At a minimal case, in the light most favorable to the clinically insane, he's acting President.

He does have the title but he didn't win so he can't be the worst President since Earth began.


About 40% of the reds know he didn't win.

There are some polls by Rasmussen that might be credible verifying the numbers.

So of course, we are not insane.

What is the minority percentage needed for something to cross the realm of insanity into that of plausibility? Is it always a segment of a segment, or is it sometimes relative to general population?

An entire population could be insane, like if we all believed a man could become a woman.


That's why they'll try to make it a crime to state it to another person.

They're calling it misinformation.

Part of the cover-up.

And that resistance lets some know we're on the mark.

You'd think they'd be in favor of absentee ballots, if that's the case.


Why would I want them? Think I needed one once when I was first moved and not established in NY yet. If I am not traveling I am not too lazy to get off my couch. Polls are 1-3 blocks away depending.

You wouldn't. AMS said something to the effect of Trump 'fanboys' not living in the real world, so I suggested that they should be in favor of absentee ballots. Since you either live in, or believe you live in, the real world, my comment wasn't directed at you.

Do you NOT believe that you'll eventually die? By that logic, everyone should kill themselves. It's not a question of desire; it's a question of inevitability. DRich knows that his death is inevitable, so there's no reason to be concerned about it. Once dead, there will be no reason for him to be concerned about anything (including the future of humanity) as there will be no HIM to even have concern.

Nihilism-lite doesn't mean you should just kill yourself. What a fallacy!


Some people do not get not being suicidal but accepting you only have so long. People do not get when I take the Roddy Piper position of "I am not going to make 70." People ask why and I say, "ever have a car you knew only had so many miles left on it?"

I find that atheists seem to be far more worried about death. They seemed to be the biggest maskers and first to rush to get the vax. People with some kind of belief seem to be more at peace about it all.

I mean, yeah. When you accept that there is nothing after death you kinda want to avoid that infinite nothingness for as long as possible.

If religious people really believed in heaven then they should be in a rush to get there. Sure sounds better than living in this hellhole we call the real world.
