Jimmy Higgins Election Day Guide

[BH]

What would we do if the were like 700 electoral votes one could wn and Trump got 666 of them?

It could happen. The US could make Guam, Puerto Rico, Israel, England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland states of the US one day.

He could declare that he got 666 electoral votes tomorrow night.
That would be as good as getting them, as long as he repeats it every five minutes for the next four years.

Antichrist is a great deceiver and is supposed to be able to work false miracles. I could see Trump walking up to a map with a marker and writing in 666 electoral votes and see "Look, the billboard says I won these".

The thing that worries me is the rest of the world. If Trump gets the idea he could make lots of money using our military in overseas wars I would feel very sorry for people in other countries. Unlike Germany in World War Two, there isn't going to be any teaming up against the US and invadng it and throwing Trump out. We are just too powerful and if we were to start going down we could nuke the whole world and take it down with us.

Trump is selling isolationism, not nation building (yes, so did W... and we saw where that went). I doubt he would involve the US military into situations at the behest of his despot buddies. The despot buddies benefit from him disengaging the US from the rest of the world. The whole NATO thing last time, and Ukraine if he were to win.

Meanwhile as an aside, I do wonder whether the inclusion of North Korea in Ukraine is an indicator that Russia doesn't think Trump has a chance.

Have you consider dared getting new friends? I mean, I get it: I have family members and friends who are die-hard Maggats but we don’t talk politics —because we are related and friends. No one would like to hear/read my response if they tried sending me that shit and in return I don’t talk about how wonderful Harris or other Dems are. At least partly because the best thing about a lot of Dems is that they aren’t Trumpsters.

The worse part is living in Aust. I do not wish to get such videoes. But some people think that I have nothing better to do than watch them. Some friends occasionally make one prefer them to be not so.

My thoughts and prayers go to you.

I think Putin and Kim think they are going to have a shooting war with western Europe and the US at a later date. Right now we are not strong enough to take out Russia without getting nuked but Putin and friends may be aware of some tech being developed that might mitigate that threat.

I think a lot of the war on their side is to test their militaries, test their officer corps, and use it as an impetus to develop new tech on their side. Plus they can find weak links and eliminate them.

Its not so much they are trying to win thise one as much as get ready for an even bigger one they think coming down the road.

Russia can't handle a war with NATO. No one wins that war! North Korea's political goal has always been keep the Kim dynasty in power. They saw the nuclear weapon as a means to that end. And they were right. Granted, the nuclear weapon isn't as important as the conventional weapons aimed at Seoul. North Korea's biggest issue is the landlocking. China to the north (not going there) and South Korea at the end of the Peninsula. So North Korea can lob weapons, but they'd need to team up with China, and that reads more like Tom Clancy fiction than reality.

Its not so much they are trying to win thise one as much as get ready for an even bigger one they think coming down the road.

Russia's Ukraine invasion has exposed how weak Russia is militarily. North Korea is land locked. They can take South Korea, but at best, it'll be in ashes.

I think a lot of their lust for war is just show and a way to try to present themselves to their people as strong men who are battling on the behalf of their people to put down threats from the corrupt west. This keeps people focused on the foreign enemies and not on the shortcomings and corruption on the part of domestic leaders/power elite.

Saber rattling has a long tradition of being used to quell unrest and dissatisfaction at home.

We got about 3” of wet snow overnight. One short-lived result was that the Dish dish gave me the clearest picture yet of the electoral landscape:

North Korea is land locked.

North Korea has two coastlines, and seven ports, five on the East (Sea of Japan) coast, and two (including a container port close to the capital, Pyongyang), on the West (Yellow Sea) coast.

It is not land-locked.

I don't think land-locked is the phrase you were looking for.

North Korea has shit for a Navy. We can train actual seals to swim up to their Navy ships and pull the cork out of the bottom to make their ships sink. North Korea is land locked.

Land-locked has a clear and precise meaning, and does not reference naval prowess at all.

That DPRK has a navy of any kind - even if it's just two blokes in a rusty bathtub, one with an oar and the other with a .22 pistol* - is evidence that the country is probably not land-locked.







* Estimated DPRK naval strength taken from the 2024 edition of Janes Fighting Ships, adjusted to incorporate current CIA and USDIA operational readiness assessments. DPRK Navy may have intermittent "extended operational range" periods, as it is suspected from HUMINT sources, supported by Keyhole satellite imaging, that one of those blokes sometimes takes his fishing pole with him.

Dude, I speak English which contains no word or term that has a "clear and precise meaning, definition, or pronunciation". It is a miracle we can understand each other at some basic level.

They are "land locked"! <- Don't make me drag out the ALL CAPS. I'm also an American, which makes me petty enough to die on this hill!

What about on this beach?



It's in land-locked Wonsan, DPRK. Just look at all those people swimming in the ... hill.

Sheesh

Whether they actually HAVE bathtubs is another question. One could maybe say they're militarily "landlocked".
