11 days ago, I included "how will Trump implement mass deportation" on a list of Qs Trump has never been asked to show how utterly useless the media been this year. Yesterday he said it'd be bloody. No one is reporting even that. emptywheel.net/2024/08/28/as-…

55 years ago today, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to abolish the Electoral College. 83% voted in favor, with support from 81% of Democrats and 86% of Republicans. It was opposed by a small contingent of conservatives and southerners-also of both parties.

People keep coming up with bizarre new "sports," but I gotta say, this one is absurdly entertaining youtube.com/watch?v=4TQeEl…

The Chinese Indian border where they skirt around peace agreements by using medieval weapons and armor instead of guns is insane and can’t believe there’s not more videos of it online
