I think they're gonna martyr him, and figure some way of appointing a president... Here in Missouri, we had a critter augur in his private plane, but they kept him on the ballot, and appointed his wife.. Jean Carnahan... Google Mel Carnahan too... "I'm Still With Mel" was the slogan.

Oh, and it's gonna be a white guy with a "ghost gun."

I think they'll just declare him unfit to serve, and replace him. Harris will become President, she'll name a VP, then (either willingly or by other means) Harris will step down or be replaced, and we'll have the President the Ds want.

The IDF is posting a LOT of short videos on Youtube regarding operations against Hamas, including a lot showing the under-border tunnel infrastructure that Hamas has built to allow them to more easily infiltrate Israel.

Absolutely. I've read a few of these comparisons already. More double standards than grains of sand in your sandbox.

Without double standards they'd have none at all.

Excellent point-by-point rundown of Hamas in Gaza by Douglas Murray.

Pretty much the exact same thing I've been saying all along for why I have absolutely zero *expletive deleted*s to give as to Israel's conduct in its war of self defense against Hamas.

The Roundtable / Hope they don't screw it up (Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F)

Full Trailer for Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F just dropped.

The original BHC is one of my favorite movies with BHC 2 not far behind. 3 was awful but still merited chuckles.

The tailer has the right feel and I see lots of callbacks. Crossing my fingers they don't screw it up.

The Roundtable / Re: Bing is Down

I always thought DDG and similar "independent" search engines were completely self-contained. I'm just curious about the privacy implications of a "privacy" search engine using Bing (or maybe Google too) as their backbone.

Crawling and indexing the internet is a major undertaking and if Duck Duck Go had to do it themselves they probably wouldn't have gotten off the ground.

An "independent" search engine still submits your query to one of the big guys, but doesn't provide them with tracking cookies or your IP address, which means that what you are searching doesn't get tied to you and your advertising profile in the same way that searching using the first party site would.
