Spiegel today reported:
Nearly 4.9 million people in Texas already used the early voting period to participate in the Midterm elections, according to US state data collection. The votes cast in the 30 largest districts already exceed the votes of all voters who participated in the 2014 Midterm elections in Texas. In 2014, a total of 4.7 million people voted in the congressional and governor elections, the so-called "midterms" I wonder what that means. So far I think that the Donald will be re-elected in 2020.

I don't know at all. I got in to the polling station Friday after work, there was a 30 minute wait. I eyeballed all the people in line and applied my foolproof book cover judging skills (which are 50% on a good day)... I would say there were more lefties in the crowd than natural Texans.

Yes, for instance, Greence spends more than 2 % but do y know the readiness of their force and ability to quickly react on crisis? And y may guess which nation considerable has indirectly paid the buildup of the Greece army. Germany spends less than 2%, yes and that needs and will be improved in the next years, but most of its forces are available for NATO defense anytime and that is a key differentiation to most other member states. As a side notice I often read here that Reagan was similar to Trump in key aspects. It is true that burden sharing in NATO for instance was a topic in the beginning of 80s too but although Reagan pushed it also he did it in a complete different way and tried and succeed in getting his point also in my country - although he had of crs many critics in the left here. See just his speak at the German Bundestag 1982 regarding burden sharing in NATO and the reactions of parliament.

Well, that's distressing. I guess people are moving to Texas to escape huge tax and cost of living situations, and then trying to turn Texas into the silly places they've just escaped from. It would also explain why the girls high school wrestling champion in Texas is a boy.

Unforgotten is when barrack barbie von der Leyen visited some country and could not continue her travel easily, ebcasue the Luftwaffe transport plane broke down. They sent a backup plane, which never came, becasue it also broke down. I don'T know how it ended. Same pattern lke with the big moor fire some weeks ago: a helicopter fired into dry woods, and a massive fire blazed up. a fire extinguishing tank that was on ready duty, broke down, they sent a backup, and it also broke down. No more such tanks were available. It took over two weeks to extinguish all fires.

Don't feel bad, our military left $2 billion worth of F-22s directly in the path of a hurricane. You'd think maybe they'd at least have holes dug and big bags they could at least bury them in to protect them. Thailand has bags that people can put their cars in for flooding so... https://www.floodguardph.com/ ...and Iraq can hide stuff from us in sand, so why couldn't we hide things from a hurricane the same way??? seems like something the military couldn't cry "poor" over

Sounds logical to me, I mean F-22s are air superiority fighters. Hurricane's eye sees them and is scared away.

Maybe there should be a law that makes it mandatory for every US citizen to connect to Twitter at least twice per day.
