Abolish the Electoral Collage.

ReallyActuallyFrankenstein ,

This is what we should’ve spent every waking moment doing since 2016. Why do we distract so easily…

zabadoh ,

Or Electoral College even.

I would like to see what an Electoral Collage looks like.

That ain’t gonna happen.

That said, we can make it irrelevant with The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. It’s 77% the way there.

His older model at 538 has things tighter with the coin toss slightly weighted toward Harris.

…fivethirtyeight.com/trump-harris-2024-election-m…

Whether it’s 55/45 or 65/35, we’re still basically talking about the same thing. This race is neck and neck, and whoever gets the turnout edge will win. We’re talking about fractions of percents that are at play, which is why these odd are a coin toss.

Edit: it looks like 538’s model is new, and Silver doesn’t like it or the guy behind it.

alilbee ,

Different model, same website. Silver got to keep his model and took it elsewhere after departing from 538.

TIL. I thought they forked it. I didn’t realize 538’s was all new.

NegativeInf , in Five charged with kidnapping migrants in US to demand families pay ransom

If the kidnappers are white, some conservatives are gonna pop a gasket.

Lol. Jk. They have no concept of consistency and will blame the victims for having crossed over.

I agree but this sounds like cartel behavior

NegativeInf ,

I don’t think they are white after reading further, but no evidence of cartel involvement either? Just a bunch of assholes taking advantage of the vulnerable.

Four men from Southern California have been charged with federal crimes alleging that they kidnapped migrants from Arizona, transported them to California and then held them for ransom.

The men, Miguel Angel Avila, 22, of Hemet; Omar Avila Salmeron, 41, of Los Angeles; Jose Jaime Garcia, 20, of San Jacinto; and Jose Alfredo Moreno Gonzalez, 21, of Oak Hills, were arraigned on federal charges and have all pleaded not guilty.

According to the July 30 indictment, on March 21, 2023, Avila instructed Moreno to drive to a gas station in Chandler, Arizona, where he allegedly kidnapped four migrants and drove them to a restaurant in Burbank.

Avila, Garcia and Becerra then held the four migrants hostage in a house and contacted their loved ones with the victims’ phones and demanded ransom money in exchange for their safe release.

Avila allegedly used one of the victim’s cellphones to demand ransom payments be made to one account in Mexico and another in the U.S. in exchange for that victim’s release, the DOJ said.

The following day, Avila, Garcia and Becerra allegedly moved the victims to a motel room where one of them managed to escape through a second-story bathroom window.

Avila and an unnamed co-conspirator allegedly chased the victim to a store in Koreatown where Avila “body-slammed the victim, placed him in a chokehold, and punched him repeatedly in the face in an attempt to re-kidnap him.”

That incident was caught on security camera and the DOJ shared a screenshot of the video on Monday.

MJKee9 , in Legendary actor James Earl Jones dies at 93

I know it’s cool to hate on The Big Bang Theory, but i loved his cameos on that show. He made fun of himself, and to a certain extent, the fandom, but the tone was so silly and self-aware, i loved it.

RIP

orbitz ,

I figured he didn’t have to do it if he didn’t want to and he acted like he was having fun, which made me enjoy those scenes so much more. ‘You know what? I like Star Wars’…mean unsure if he did but he said with such a grin and awesome delivery. Plus ding dong ditch on Carrie was the cherry on top.

The next Congress could use its majority to change the rules of the game. Every Dem majority since the '09 Obama supermajority had this power.

But I bet they won’t.

Not a widely beloved performance, but on this episode of Prairie Home Companion, he plays Jim from Huckleberry Finn, catching up with ol’ Huck. One of my all-time favorite bits.

require proof of citizenship when registering to vote.

Calling it “unserious and unacceptable” is too nice. They need to call it like it is.

“You purposefully are including what you know to be unworkable items so you can claim we don’t care about election integrity and shut down the government so you can scream ‘The Democrats are letting illegals vote’ which is clearly not true, or barring that, trying to muscle us into disenfranchising millions of US citizen voters.”

TokenBoomer , in Unlocked, loaded guns more common among parents who give kids firearm lessons

Just… why?

SeaJ OP ,

Most likely they have been sold the fantasy that someone could break in and kill you at any time so if you do not have a gun at the ready, you will be a statistic.
