Modern European limited monarchies aren’t similar to old European monarchies. Queen Elizabeth wasn’t like Henry VIII.

If they’re withdrawing to their bunkers, the surface probably isn’t that great.

Ohhhhh that makes much more sense. I was going to complain about the volume of those things too, but I figured I had already complained about enough. Turns out my complaint was crazy.

You underestimate the power of laziness. That’s a lot of steps to approximate an egg.

It’s far easier to bake less and eat fewer eggs. Trust a lazy person. Either that or I’ll wait until eggplants can grow real eggs.

I’m getting paywalled by your link, but on the aggregate, RCP seems to show his approval rating is still fairly high.

They currently have him at 48.8% approval. 46.1% disapproval.

Succession would just pass over him.

None of this makes sense anymore. How could people possibly be shocked this time? It happened before under less favorable circumstances.

He probably didn’t. He was polling very well. Very well. Better than his last two elections for a long time. People pretended he couldn’t win and I admittedly didn’t think they’d do that since that’s exactly what happened in 2016.

Simply assuming the election was stolen will be a mistake because that mindset will help Republicans win their next election. The voters wanted an irreparably changed supreme court and Trump functionally immune from prosecution and that’s what the voters got.

People keep saying this but they haven’t finished counting the votes. In California alone only 55% of votes were counted and he had 4,000,000+ votes there. The remaining votes could easily put him past his 2020 total.

They’re not done counting. There’s a decent chance he has more votes this time.
