RIP Jimmy Carter
Awww :cry: What a truly incredible life that he lived, 100 years of dedication to serve his homeland, and the sheer amount of people that he assisted after leaving office is really heartwarming :wub: There will likely never be any post-presidency that matches to Jimmy Carter's, period. He may not have been the most effective President that the US has ever seen but at least he tried to put his morals first, something that this cold-hearted political environment that we live in could do with. We've lost possibly the most genuine and kind-hearted US President that there will ever be (considering the way things are shifting atm). I think its fair to say that Jimmy embodied what I believe America strives (or strived) to be. It's also worth noting that this man was a warrior, he survived both metastatic cancer and a form of liver cancer. All that I know is that Jimmy will at least be able to finally rest at peace alongside his wife :heart: RIP

Music predictions 2024
Seems like I need to improve my prediction skills :lol:

Trump: Folie à Deux (US Politics Thread)
The HOR are about to vote on the bill once again with the bill unlikely to pass thanks to nearly no changes whatsoever from Johnson. Rosa DeLauro delivered an incredible speech as well a few minutes ago which reiterated how the GOP are utter scumbags - removing funds for research and treatment for childhood cancer in the new, partisan revised spending plan etc. Edit: Plot twist.... It seems as though the bill is about to pass amazingly :o Democrats seem to have come together to save the government from shutdown even though the spending plan is not bi-partisan whatsoever lol Edit 2: The house has passed it, truly astonishing considering the circumstances

Trump: Folie à Deux (US Politics Thread)
The Republicans seem to have to have masterfully created a political crisis for America yet again. The US government is heading for a shutdown again thanks to a GOP spending plan that even the GOP is split on :lol: With even a slimmer GOP majority come January, this is probably not the last time that this'll happen over Trump's upcoming term. On the brighter side, Mike Johnson's foreseeable future as speaker seems doomed due to this + more GOP-induced crises such as this bodes well for Dems in 2026 in the House elections (Senate looks truly impossible tho). https://edition.cnn.com/politics/live-news/...9-24/index.html

Lana Del Rey - Stove
What a Lana Del Rey-esque start to a Lana Del Rey album rollout :kink: I'm hyped either way, new Lana material is ALWAYS appreciated. As for the tour, I'd love to go. I was blessed to witness her greatness on stage in 2023, just a few days after the Glastonbury thing oop. Her live vocals really are something else tho, I would highly, highly recommend seeing her x. Aiming for Wembley or Hampden...

Live Thread - 2024 United States Presidential Election
This is 2016 all over again, a pure nightmare scenario... I can't believe that the American people are stupid enough to vote him back into the highest office in the world, especially with the toxic and cruel campaign that him and Vance led. America is well and truly f'd

Live Thread - 2024 United States Presidential Election
West Virginia won by Trump + Republicans have gained West Virgina in the senate
-
Live Thread - 2024 United States Presidential Election
Georgia isn't looking fantastic but It all comes down to the suburban and urban voter turnout and I believe that especially the Metro-Atlanta area might secure her the win there. Then again, Georgia will surely be one of the tightest races of the election.

Live Thread - 2024 United States Presidential Election
Indiana results right now: Sullivan County: About 40% of the vote in, Trump is leading by a huge margin but Harris has gained about 3% so far on Biden in the last election. Whitley County: About 40% of the vote, Harris making gains on Biden again The rest of the counties are a similar picture, about 40% of the vote in and Harris has made gains on Biden's performance in 2020 A similar picture is being painted in Kentucky as well at this moment Edit: A really good result for Harris in Indiana's populous Allen county as well so far!

Live Thread - 2024 United States Presidential Election
I'm cautiously optimistic, I'm praying for a clear victory for Harris as well so the tension is over quickly. I'm prepared for the worst but hoping for the best x. No matter what the result is, Harris should be proud of her campaign :wub: I've made these projections based on early voting: I think Harris has an strong chance of winning North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan. I also think she'll win Nevada and Georgia but those states will be incredible close imo (much like Georgia and Arizona in the last election). Iowa & Arizona are longshots as well but still possible.
