April Fools!

Those are still rookie numbers. Pete Hegseth just spent more than that on ribeye steaks and lobster tails.

It was surprisingly hard to find, but if you put “Tucker Carlson Blake Neff fishing” into a search engine, you can find Tucker’s non-apology and non-explanation for having a Neo-Nazi “top writer” on his staff (up to 2020).

Just over half of the voting population voted for this guy

Notably, it’s “just under half” of votes cast for President were cast for Donald Trump. He won without a majority of the vote, getting only 49.8% of the votes cast: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_presidential_election

He is not, and never was, a “popular” President.

How about another law: No state shall receive more in federal spending than that state contributes in federal taxes.

The proposition that led to California’s enacting of the “fair” redistricting was originally funded by conservatives who wanted to improve their chances, and came somewhat as a response to discussion around Texas’ 2003 redistricting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_Texas_redistricting

At the time that California’s redistricting amendment was being discussed, as the obvious Republican “trick” to benefit them in California, many called out the hypocrisy of only advocating for it where it’d help, and explicitly fighting where it’d hurt them. (Hilariously, after the California amendment drew up new “fair” districts, in the next election that used them the Republicans still lost seats in California, just due to them being so generally hated at the time).

So yeah, their hypocrisy on this matter has been called out many times. But they are shameless, and frankly cannot win long-term with a “fair” electoral system.

Possibly many polled Sliwa supporters actually voted for Cuomo instead, to try to prevent a Mamdani win.

Wait, do you mean that ballroom that is $500m?

Only the proper candidates win, as a rule

Was Trump winning an example of that rule, or a counterexample?

It’s not a counterpoint, but emphasizes an even stronger point. Few Presidents win a majority of those eligible to vote. But to become President without also winning the majority of cast votes is unusual, and it’s especially important to emphasize when such a President claims they have a mandate due to being “popular”, imo.

which wasn’t the majority, by the way, since not everyone votes

Um, even among the people who cast a vote for President in 2024, Trump didn’t get a majority of the votes. He got fewer than half of the Presidential votes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_presidential_election

I’m on the DOGE team, and those values seem completely accurate and verified to me. /s

Edit: And if they are wrong, by our accounting that means that you just saved the government $399.6 Billion dollars.

Just curious; are you paying the extra toll for advertising-free viewing (on Prime)?

Try compression socks as the innermost-layer, which are long enough to run up the calf. With these on, I use one more layer of regular cotton sock and generally feel pretty warm (compared to just thick wool socks, or multiple other layers).

Do I count MacOS users in that search?

What’s being discussed for Reagan is the " October Surprise" (not Iran-Contra, a different scandal).
