Someday probably, but that is far in the future. The job these guys do can't really be done totally by machines yet. Most likely scenario is it goes the way it is on the coean going ships now, most crew members are from low income third world countries. They will just import them to the US and have them unload the ships here. The wages the longshoremen get aren't that bad IMO, they are being too greedy.

If I understand it correctly they currently make $39 an hour and are asking for $69 an hour. I think they are risking the shipping companies just telling them all to fuck off and hiring cheaper non-union labor.

Open carry is illegal in Florida.

Trump currently winning the EC. He could even lose PA and still win the election.

I've been to Okeechobee a few times. It's a poor area with basically rednecks and illegals. Order would break down there awfully fast. So I get why this police chief would think he needed to do this. But it's completely unconstitutional and DeSantis was right.

I don't believe that. I think Trump told Zelensky that if Trump wins you get no more weapons or money. So give Putin what he wants or lose your whole country. This isn't because Trump is anti war, it's because Trump has a personal grudge against Zelensky.

The US routinely sends our citizens to police in other countries. Now we know how it feels. Neither are right.

It wasn't Crooks or Routh working for Iran.

How are they getting this guy in and out of Ukraine constantly without killed? That's the real question you should be asking yourself. Something isn't right.

Is there any difference?

This was not an off the cuff remark. This was planned in advance.

Nobody thought to check the walkies after the pagers blew up?

Yeah it is very possible this was an inside job. It's also possible this guy just observed Trump's routine and made a good guess as to where he would be. Trump plays golf pretty often the day after a campaign trip. That's a well known fact in Florida.

Living here in FL, I can tell you it's not hard to figure out where Trump is if you are looking. I've seen his motorcade randomly on the highway twice. They close off access to the island if he is at Mar a Lago. I read about people bitching about that all the time. They also close the golf course when he plays. Or it could very well be an inside job. It would not surprise me one bit. I think the attempt in PA was an inside job for sure.

I was in Vero, I just moved further south I'm on Hutchinson Island now. I was over in Stuart yesterday when they caught the guy in Palm city.

I was a few miles away when the sheriff caught the guy. Actually didn't hear about it until just now. Crazy.

When you work on the assumption that every politician is corrupt, this seems small in the big picture.

Trump has done a lot of crooked stuff. I'm sure this is true, but it doesn't seem very troubling.

If Trump really wants to win this thing, he needs to stop banging Laura Loomer and focus on things voters really care about like the economy. Apparently Loomer is responsible for that debate shitshow. When a nutcase like MTG says somebody is a racist, you know there is a problem.

Maybe the Florida election police will catch 21 this time instead of the 20 they did in 2020. Voter fraud is a made up issue.

Everyone has their reasons and they are valid. Mine is that I don't think Harris has the gravitas to represent the US on a world stage. For instance shit is about to hit the fan big time if Ukraine is given storm shadows and launches them into Russia. Could she handle that situation? I think not. I don't like Trump personally one bit. But I think he is capable.

Realistically will it even matter? I don't think Cheney has much influence anymore.

They have Trump winning the EC 281 to 257. He could lose PA or GA and still win the election.

I wouldn't do another one if I were him. They fact checked him and not her. Cut his mic, but not hers. I don't think either of them did well and the debate made no difference in the race. There were no winners.

Unfortunately, I am also voting for Trump now. I can't believe that Donald Trump is the sensible alternative, but here we are.

I don't think either did well. This debate makes no change in the race.

Yes, I noticed that.

You are right about WI and possibly MI but wrong about the rest. RCP currently has Trump winning the EC 281 to 257

I don't think it will ever change back, because we are seeing an outbound migration of liberals and influx of conservatives. You have liberals actively telling people not to move to Florida because it's some backwards hellhole now. Reality is the opposite, other than a Trump flag here and there I would never know anyone's politics, nobody ever discusses it. Granted my county is so heavily GOP, it's probably just assumed I am as well. But my point is that if you keep it to yourself nobody will ever bother you. Florida is a nice state to live in, my family is very happy here. In fact more are inbound soon.

Meh, they are so outnumbered in FL it doesn't matter. There are zero democrats that hold statewide office. Registered republicans outnumber registered democrats by one million. Heck, DeSantis won Miami-Dade county, which would have been uheard of in the past.
