Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
You're right. I don't like Trump. But it is more than that. We have a serious problem in that we have a significant proportion of the population that would vote for somebody like that. We also have a major political Party that, Trump or no Trump, recognizes that it is in trouble due to demographic trends and is responding by doing things like trying to repress voting by groups that tend to vote for the other Party and setting it up so that partisan bodies can manipulate the election results.HI54UNI wrote: ↑Fri Nov 19, 2021 8:35 pmWe get it.

The Republican Party, and the fact that we have a lot of people willing so support a Party like that, is a big problem for this country right now. If you want a free society governed through the Will of the People, you don't want the Republican Party having power. Not if you have any sense.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
BTW: None of those people would have a chance to win a Presidential election. Pelosi is far more competent than Trump is. Far more qualified for the position. Far more rational and far greater emotional stability. We'd be way better off with her as President than we were with Trump being President or would be with Trump being President in the future. But it would never happen anyway because we don't have anywhere near a large enough proportion of the population nationally that would vote for her. The others? Same story on the electability at the Presidential level.89Hen wrote: ↑Sat Nov 20, 2021 3:16 pmYeah, voters are crazy.JohnStOnge wrote: ↑Sat Nov 20, 2021 12:35 pm You're right. I don't like Trump.

The problem we have is that we DO have a sufficient proportion that would elect somebody like Trump; who is way worse than any of those depicted.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
Tech billionaire allegedly kept spreadsheet of 5,000 women he had sex with
Whitefish, Mont., is known for fly fishing and hiking trails studded with yellow Aspen trees. But after Silicon Valley billionaire Michael Goguen took up residence in the Rocky Mountain town several years ago, he transformed it into his private fiefdom: a dark banana republic where he allegedly controls local law enforcement — and a “harem” of young women.
The bombshell allegations, which also include claims of Goguen ordering his security chief to kill detractors, are contained in a lengthy civil complaint recently filed in United States District Court for the District of Montana.
According to the court papers, Goguen, 57, employs hundreds of residents in companies he controls, and owns a series of luxury “safe houses” where he takes dozens of young women for sex. He has a spreadsheet documenting his sexual encounters with 5,000 women, and even outfitted a local bar he owns with a basement “boom boom” room, which features a stripper pole. The underground enclave is allegedly used “to maintain women for the purpose of committing illicit sexual activity.”
