At least Lichtman's infallible prediction method can go where it belongs. The garbage can.

And they call him pro-peace. Stupidity.

Trump is not going to drain the swamp, the CIA, he didn't do it in his first term, and he is not going to do it now. He loves the swamp and it is going to continue doing all the shady and awful stuff it did in his first term, in continuity with all other terms since maybe Kennedy, including Biden so badly, and would have included Kamala too. His support to Netanyahu is granted, but Netanyahu is Israel's worst enemy already, so that may not be in this ethnostate's interest, but it's hard to know what will happen. What we know is that the genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza continues, which Trump supports even more vocally than the Democrats, and in every way he can. But that's not Israel's only front, which it's not winning, Hamas is still fighting and it's not out of recruits. There's Lebanon, there's Yemen, there's big Iran, and others. A bigger war is possible. Instead of focusing on improving the life conditions of his people, Trump keeps showing a big animosity towards China as his economic policy. That's not a war any side could win either, I mean militarily, if there's where he goes. At this point, economically, I think China has the upper hand too. Trump is so stupid, and so are his voters. Yeah, I'm not a politician, I can say it. The Democratic party sucks too, but was doing a bit better internally.

From what Trump hinted in the campaign, although a bit ambiguous, we could assume he'll stop funneling money to Zelensky. That will accelerate Ukrainian defeat, which was inevitable anyway. Now some people say Trump is pro-Putin for this. It's fair to remember that in his first term, he bragged about selling Ukraine weapons, which is true, while Obama was only giving them pillows and sheets, his words. But this was all stupidity and irresponsibility from NATO and the West, using Ukraine as a tool to weaken Russia, which didn't go their way. But who cares when it's not your men doing the dying part, right? Now we'll see how things are settled. Russia annexed four territories, five with Crimea, those are not going back to Ukraine, that's certain.

Buy Twitter, promote Trump, and put some money and his media resources working for his campaign. Now time to get what he invested back. Subsidies for Tesla and to pay for his Twitter debts with taxpayer money.

No sugarcoats, Kamala failed miserably, Trump has won everything. The Democratic party has to reflect on it, and so the people in the left spectrum in general. No sugarcoats for Trump either, he showed he is a fascist in 2020, literally trying a coup to get the government for himself. That he didn't succeed doesn't exonerate him from his intentions. His followers asking to hung his own VP, he didn't say a word about that, and so on. His rhetoric is fascist to the letter and so is project 2025 which he'll follow. Shame on his voters too, some of them for being like Trump, others for being fools, because is not going to work for their well-being and interest. Shame on the ones that couldn't get their asses up to vote for the alternative of this conman, even if she wasn't the perfect candidate they wanted, and stayed at home. The best case scenario now is he'll break the economy and rig the system so it stays rightwing in perpetuity. At least he is old, so he'll have to retire, or he may even die soon, who knows. He can fuck up a lot internationally too, that would be the worst case, because the world is tired of US imperialism and its spreading of wars, so it got prepared, and things can escalate fast.

I can't completely agree with this, because Biden actually won in 2020, so that's as back as I'll go. However, it's true the Democratic party establishment used all its means to tear down the popular candidate Bernie at that time. That was a pity, he aged better than Biden ironically, but that was impossible to guess though.

This is known now. A reason for her election was that she was already the VP, and there wasn't much time for a decent primary process that could divide the party even more. I think the original sin was that Biden didn't announce his retirement earlier, but that would have been a risky move too, before everyone saw how much he had declined.

There's blame to put on the Democrat Party, it was a gamble to put such an old man considering what should be an 8-year job. By the time he left, there wasn't much time for a primary process. There was the difficulty of defending some of the office positions, mostly abroad. Two huge conflicts at the same time. Kamala has not been good enough, that's the truth. Next time have a clean primary at least, and learn to earn voters by differentiating from the other party more clearly. There's some blame to put on the voters who chose to vote for this conman or the ones that couldn't choose for the least bad at least. Now they'll get what they voted for, but many that didn't will pay the price too. It will be bad for its economy, foxes taking care of the hens again. Probably Ukraine will stop receiving money, that will accelerate the end of that war, which was inevitable anyway. Netanyahu gets a better ally, if the previous wasn't good enough, but that can result in a bigger war in the Middle East, and the effects and results of that are not predictable. Whatever mess they get into next too, we'll see.

Shit, Trump is winning!

What does Tim Pool predict?

Overcompensation, some may feel the need to prove to others and themselves that they are as American as non-Latino Americans by things like voting for the most anti-immigrant party or the one perceived as the most patriotic. Some are dumb too, don't forget about that factor. However, I think the Puerto Rican community may be genuinely mad about being called garbage. Yeah, he said the island, kind of the same. Some more Latinos may not like it either. That was a pretty big campaign mistake by Republicans, every vote counts. There are many polls, but the only one that matters is on Tuesday though.

Oh, lol, this was a non-intended mistake, but almost works as part of the joke, indeed. I meant assess, English is not my primary language.

I was judging the ones who made and liked the joke, not the other way around. My knowledge is limited, but Puerto Rico seems one of these places that wasn't allowed to be decolonized as others in their time, that the US kept for its geo-strategic and economic value by violent and fascist means. Being part of the US doesn't seem to do its people any favor nowadays either.

Every public restroom should have inspectors, so when you need to use them, you'll have to show them your genitalia first, then they'll asses if it matches your shown gender, and if everything is correct, they'll let you in. If not, you'll have to go to do your necessities in nature if it's a rural area, or between cars if it's in an urban area.

Tight match, as usual. Choose the least evil, which is Kamala. Trump is a danger to Democracy, as he showed in 2020, he shouldn't be given another chance after that. Trump is in no way pro-peace. Did he end the war of Afghanistan when he could? No, he didn't, Biden did that. I'm not here to defend Biden though, even if he didn't start the two big wars of his term, he could have done much more to end them via diplomacy. A Vice President's job is to back the president or resign, in that sense, Kamala's hands have been tied. Yes, we can guess that some policies may get a continuation, but others can also differ. Is Kamala the most eloquent person on Earth? No, that doesn't mean she is stupid, some people thrive in other ways. Is she as cool as Bernie? No, Bernie is cooler, of course. Is she an insecure narcissist like Trump to only allow yes-men beside her to make decisions? No, she has more common sense than that. Is she funded and influenced by AIPAC? Yes, but at least she didn't visit Epstein's island like Trump and RFK, which stinks like a Mosad blackmail scheme from far away.

@mojsterr One ingredient doesn't mean one compound, though. As said before, there are many healthier options than Beyond Burger, which I didn't even mention first, but still better than any beef. Plant-based oils are not the healthiest, yet better than animal-based ones. Plant-based fats are best when eaten with their real fiber and compounds, like whole olives or nuts, not oil extracts. Beet extract is awesome though, they probably use it to give it the red color, but it's great for its antioxidants, that is known.

Some suicide cases in the IDF, PTSD. But are they the victims? Well... It's said that Jews were expelled from Muslim countries, and so does Ethan Klein. A deeper look about that: Finkelstein analyzes the two frame questions of Piers Morgan.

Transition to veganism is more likely in stage green than in the previous ones. Orange, the previous stage, has a more individualistic approach, while greens are also concerned about other's well-being, which would include animals in this case. Veganism aims to reduce animal suffering caused by humans as much as practically possible, knowing that to some extent is going to continue happening, even directly. Acceptance of suffering comes from understanding it. Everyone knows what pain and suffering are by direct experience, it's part of life. Animals are sentient beings, they are just other branches of the same evolutionary system that we belong, and just by observing them, although they don't have the same level of intelligence and capabilities as us, we can see that they experience pain and many emotions in similar manners to us. Vegans are not stupid, if a wild animal attacks them, they are going to put their life first. But most of us live in a world where we can choose to live and consume in a way that can avoid death and extreme suffering, just look at the factory farms, of animals whose life and fate we as humans decide what is going to be, while still keeping a good nutrition for us, probably even better. There's also the case of the environment, because we are more than 8 billion individuals, and animal-sourced food is extremely inefficient. Feeding animals to get food from them takes so much more land and resources than what it would take to just get it from plant sources. Also, vegan alternatives to usual animal-sourced products taste fucking awesome, you don't need to be eating lettuces all day, for those who think that is what vegans do, and they are less carcinogenic than many of the compounds that can be found in the previous ones. Oh yeah, vegan for the animals, the environment, and health.

This seems like a de-escalation, the attack is very limited. Israel said it would respond, so it had to save face, and this is it. Israel can indeed respond and cause damage, I don't think that was doubted, but Iran made the same point last time too, that was the thing. Now, this round has stopped, but if Israel keeps targeting its enemies on Iranian soil or Iranian generals in other places, both things have happened, then the fire can start again. War in Gaza continues, Hamas is still operative and the IDF is continuing its ethnic cleansing by killing and displacing people in cages, who knows where, this mostly in Northem Gaza. The war in Lebanon is on too, Israel has seen they can't send their troops in there like in Gaza, they get killed so fast. What they can do is attack from the air though, and they are including civilians and their infrastructures, which is not a surprise at this point. Can this escalate? Maybe. Hezbollah leaders were killed, but for now it seems their way of functioning hasn't changed.

Putin visited North Korea recently, so maybe this is true, their relations are good and beneficial to each other. Russia doesn't need North Korean troops to win though. I'm hearing peace deal conversations are happening discreetly. Russian minimal conditions: no NATO, neutrality, respect for its minorities, no more proxy wars, and Russia keeps the new four territories but no more.

China did well by acquiring some capitalist free market principles, but not completely disregarding any state intervention. It's growing well, infrastructures are being built, there's innovation in its industry, they are producing good products, and people's daily lives are improving as well. Strategic oligopolies have a roof, the state. The US is so scared and brainwashed about the socialist and communist labels, that they perceive as the end of freedom any minimum state intervention in what could make the markets better for the people, the businesses, and their economy in general, at a bit of expense of the wealth and freedoms of the top ones. Their media is as bought as their duo-uniparty by the big companies and some other foreign lobbies not worth mentioning right now.
