Re: Haley walks back pledge to support the facist
Well gee, TC Talks, do you expect those under the age of 18 to vote? :razz Weren't there roughly 153 million votes cast in the 2020 general election? It's bad enough that the 18-21 can vote anyways. Most of them cannot take care of themselves, not make important life decisions. They should have nev...

Re: Alec Baldwin shoots and kills a 42-year old woman
Poor girl was a scape-goat for Hollywood.
Not saying she didn't have any culpability or doesn't deserve the sentence, but to put ALL the focus on her while the actual SHOOTER is still partying around town shows you where the real priorities lie.

Re: Getting a third person as president
What about going back whoever gets most electoral votes is president, second place is VP? It takes a constitutional amendment, I know. I don't think you could go with the "second most votes", because you'd always have a conflict between the two major parties. How about who gets the THIRD most votes...

Re: Getting a third person as president
If a true "celebrity" decided to do it, I'd bet they could. Using twitter (X), FB and other social media to direct folks to a small organization within each state would/could certainly fulfill the signature requirements. I'd bet they could do that in a week or two. There really is no financial hurdl...

Re: Getting a third person as president
I believe they'd have to register in enough states so that their electoral total could exceed 270. So they don't really have to register in ALL states, but certainly the big ones. Most (all?) states have a signature requirement for the petition but that might only be a few thousand. In a place like ...

Re: If you vote today...
Fair points. The last do-over general election candidate to win a later Presidential general election was - wait for it - Richard Nixon! :barf Of course, a number of folks have lost primary contests within their party who later succeeded in winning their party's nomination - and in a number of case...

Re: Best File Sharing Service?
I setup an account on PodBean and uploaded some files there. I don't remember their limits (either total capacity or daily uploads) but it was fine for what I needed. IIRC, you can set it up so only those with a link can see/hear the content, or make it publicly available.

Re: Fox 2 News
I agree with Ermani on the ballot thing. I don't ever recall having to declare which ballot I wanted in the past, as there was only one ballot.

Re: As if there weren't enough reasons to hate AT&T...
In what looked as a rather clumsy attempt at a segue, Kylee Miller today was talking about the big sunspot activity and implied that the AT&T phone issues could be caused by them... "especially on westbound 696 near Telegraph" (or something like that). Hmmmm... sunspots 93 million miles away somehow...

Re: Psychopath and fired President Trump insists there is an obligation to debate
I would like to see Jon Stewart volunteer to moderate any Presidential debate. He can bring along a couple other folks to help, if it would seal the deal.
