    U.S. 2024 Presidential Election Season kicking off...so who are you betting on??

    The more realistic possibility is for a third-party candidate to be a deciding factor in an otherwise close presidential election, as happened in 1968, 1992, and 2000. I certainly wouldn't expect Nikki Haley to be this person, as I think the only reason anyone liked her was because she wasn't...

    Biden got some good ad libs in during SOTU. Assuming the drugs continue to work, he will be fine in a debate against Trump. Trump is way less coherent and has been going downhill more quickly than Biden in recent years.

    U.S. 2024 Presidential Election Season kicking off...so who are you betting on??

    I keep wondering whether someone will run as an independent and leech enough votes to swing the election. Unfortunately I have a feeling this would benefit Trump simply because his followers treat him like a religious figure.

    Also, if you look at the stats, they were rising under Trump until COVID hit in 2020. At that point the land borders were totally closed unless you had a life-or-death emergency, and it was also hard for people to get into Canada or Mexico to cross the border illegally, so of course there wasn't...

    Try 28%. I suspect that the vast majority of them are Fox News viewers in red states, and their perception of the problem mostly comes from GOP propaganda rather than any first-hand experience.

    Then after the final civil war, Canada and Mexico will send peacekeeping forces to occupy the US until a new constitution can be enacted.

    Actually they do, under the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment. A 1968 case that is very much on point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williams_v._Rhodes

    U.S. 2024 Presidential Election Season kicking off...so who are you betting on??

    There is a clever plan to effectively get rid of the Electoral College by signing an agreement among states to vote based on who wins the nationwide popular vote. They already have the agreement of 16 states with 205 electoral votes, and need 65 more electoral votes to reach a 270 majority...

    It ain't over until it's over. Right now the national polls are leaning toward Trump, but well within the margin of error, and we still have six months to go, in which time all kinds of new shit may come to light. Clinton was winning all of the national polls on election day and she lost by...

    Most Trump voters are voting against the left -- whatever they think it stands for -- not for Trump the person. Most of them dislike Trump as an individual, but they see him as a means to an end: deporting the Mexicans, banning abortion and contraception, converting the gays and trannies, or...

    I hate to burst your bubble but the illegal population stayed about the same under Trump, despite falling substantially in prior years under Obama. Under Biden, ICE has become much more active in catching, detaining and deporting illegals, which Fox News shamelessly spins to make it look as if...

    You don't even have to go that far back, the US immigration system still blatantly discriminates on the basis of national origin. White-collar Indians have to wait 131 years for permanent residency due to statutory quotas. And it's terribly inefficient in general. Just bringing a Japanese...

    Local sex games, what did you do as a kid?

    Is there a female version of this that can make a stinky pussy taste like a juicy steak?

    The Anything Goes Thread

    I just mentioned this on another thread, but sometimes women cheat voluntarily, get caught by their spouses, and bring sexual harassment allegations against the other man so that the adultery appears to be non-consensual (which minimizes the woman's liability to her husband). It sounds like...

    Does it ever end?

    LOL. I was just making fun of my own grandiose philosophical attitude. Sure my shit stinks, but I'm the only one who smells it.

    Does it ever end?

    I'm married, and I fuck around a little for fun and self-exploration but am careful not to let it adversely affect my life (one reason why I am grateful for the existence of P4P). I have a great relationship with my kids, and I really don't care whether my wife puts out because (a) I don't...

    Annual salary amount too low for tax reporting?

    If it’s allowed under your resident status, it might be a good idea to register as a sole proprietor (Kojin Jigyo) so that your private lessons are above board. Having most of your income “off the books” could cause problems going forward, for example NTA asking where your money is coming from...
