I wanted to go, it was relatively close, but the laws of supply & demand did not favor me ($299 for a ticket to the event when I decided to give it a shot).

As opposed to supporting/defending the Constitution? Israel bombs a hospital or food supply area, then later says it was an errant missile. In other news, Palantir (stock price up 500+% in a year) has a contract to use its AI to select targets to hit in Gaza. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Intentionally convoluted in order to only let the big boys play? Also, couldn't Stewart (net worth $120,000,000.00) free up a few million of his and hire staff to improve broadband somewhere of his choosing?

I guess he's in the front rowww.... RIP

I think the 1,560 wage equalled about 75 oz of gold back then (1914?). Those 75 oz were then multiplied by the current gold price, more/less? Google says 1560 in 1914 is worth 47k today, but gold price might be a better gauge of real inflation...

Thx, folks...

(Edit 37: thanks for the tips, finally got it...doy)

I found that discussion very interesting, but the paranoid part of me can't help but think that this guy is still a CIA asset, since he talks about what the CIA allows him to divulge. Perhaps the CIA is allowing him to talk about just enough shenanigans to support Schumer's "they can get you...

Weird. He dropped the letter off at some unnamed person's place months ago. That person opened it after the attempt. https://nypost.com/2024/09/23/us-news/ryan-wesley-routh-wrote-note-he-intended-to-kill-trump-months-before-golf-course-assassination-attempt-doj/

Matt Taibbi and Walter Kirn do a fun little dialogue every week. On thus subject, they had an interesting perspective, different from Hillary being ironic: https://www.racket.news/p/transcript-america-this-week-september-01b

Note that Madame VP never said she she would shoot the intruder. She has people for that.

I appreciated the video. Webb is awesome, I've watched her before. A lot of her points were suppositions, but many more seemed based on verifiable records. She convinced me that voting for one or the other for POTUS really won't matter. Now I just have to get unlazy and become more involved...
