The “hackers” have long passed my forgotten technology…which is my gameplan and it’s worked 100%.

That isn’t true at all.

This is just the most ridiculous statement. What’s often targeted are older systems with older updates because they still have security holes. The point isn’t to target newer harder to access systems.

Your game plan to be smartr than the average bear… succeeds again but only in your mind.

It’s the “dumb” that makes it smart. Combine that with the boring sites I travel on, I’m good. :sunglasses: :tumbler_glass:

There is NOTHING in my phone to steal. I do not buy things on line and still use mostly cash for purchases. As the world’s technology progresses, I’ll be happy when it’s out of sight. :sunglasses: :tumbler_glass:

I take my kids to Fat Straws for some kind of drink they like. They don’t even accept cash as payment.
Me, I’m all the way up to iphone7.

And…thats all folks. I estimate Trump can hang on to about 10-20 % of the GOP- the die hard MAGAs. It won’t be enough to win a primary in perhaps any state. That will leave him with two options- drop out- or go rogue/independent. Should be interesting.

USA Today/Suffolk Poll
Dec 13

Biden 47 Trump 40

and

Biden 43 DeSantis 47

868

Yup that sounds about right. Biden (or literally any other generic democrat candidate) would mop the floor with Trump. DeSantis will beat Biden if an election were held today. I really do think that unless the Dems replace Biden with a candidate with more juice and broad appeal, y’all should win in 24.

The only caveat is if Trump goes full cray cray and splits off the party and starts a new party with his MAGAs.

Wouldn’t be hard to find someone with more juice, but I don’t know who you replace Biden with that would have more broad appeal. IF they nominate a Progressive they will lose.

871

Possibly. The campaign will come down to Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Michigan. Some Progressive ideals (pro-choice) will play well while others won’t (identity politics/LGBTQ).

I think the most important factor for beating DeSantis is having someone who is a populist with charisma. They cant be bland or stuffy like a Biden/Gore/Kerry or they will lose. The politics is mostly secondary.

Is that what the shepherds are feeding today? Wow…yum, yum, yum…amirite? :sunglasses: :tumbler_glass: :wink:

Who are the shepherds?

…

Former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) raised that possibility last week, saying his “greatest fear” involves the possibility of a repeat of 1964, when the party split between Barry Goldwater and Nelson Rockefeller.

“I can imagine a Trump-anti-Trump war over the next two years that just guarantees Biden’s re-election in a landslide and guarantees that Democrats control everything.”

874

There is within the Republican party, both the establishment and the grass roots, “we the people” that are tired of the political corruption that’s existed for decades. If there’s a split, my only hope is that the establishment gets kicked to the curb.

Trump is in it for the money. He will run as long as bucks are coming in. And IMHO also think that he does believe that he will be treated better as a candidate on legal issues against him.

This isn’t about you. We know how you will vote. It is about what the independent voters will consider.
They have been the ones who have been a primary consideration the last few election cycles.

But they burned Tulsi.
