Read 11.22.63 again , excellent. In his afterword SK says he had intended to dedicate it to Jack Finney who wrote Time and Again however a new granddaughter got that honour.
Had completely forgotten about Time and Again, must have read that about 25 years ago. Hope I have it buried somewhere.Comment

He has a baked in Electoral College advantage, so Biden needs a 5-6% margin to overcome that in all likelihood. There are a LOT less undecideds this time compared to last time too.Originally posted by Raoul Duke III View Post
I think it'll be Biden but I wouldn't put any significant money on it. Trump is a 35% plus shot here.You are technically correct...the best kind of correct

America dragged itself through the gutter. Can't break the link between the electorate choosing Trump, and his actions.
I'm not sure how America gets away from Politics == Sports though. It's all a little culty for my liking. You're either blue or your red or you're an outcast. Really big problem imo. You will end up with this exact problem happening time and time again unless there is some revival of the centre ground.
It's completely and absolutely fine to vote Democrat one year for their policies and then choose Republican 4 years later as their policies for the coming period 'align' better. It should be utterly normal to be able to do that.

Trump is an outlier and a direct reaction to a black president. You cannot argue his reign has been unprecedented. The blue/red choice has always been there however there has been nothing like Trump . His lies are in the 100s , he has tried to reconstruct actual facts before our eyes and STILL he has apologists and supporters who dismiss his daily infantile behaviour and blindly follow. In my lifetime I've never seen the US so disrespected on the world stage. This is more than partizan politics . It's quite staggering what is now accepted as normal these past 4 years .Comment

I threw the ball in the air then kicked in way up the road and it landed in a skip. Why did you do that he cried? That's a life lesson for you my lad, a life lesson.

They do have other parties (Greens, Libertarian Party etc.).Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View Post
I think they were more prevalent and indeed influential in the past; there was a relatively strong Socialist Party in the 20s\30s and of course the Progressive\Bull Moose Party won over a quarter of the vote in the 1912 election.
But they are mostly crowded out of the market now by the two big beasts.
You could equally argue that a clear choice of two options is better than a confusing smorgasbord of a dozen small parties who will have to coalesce in some fuzzy manner? Don't know, we Irish can hardly argue about that as we had a 2.25 party system for most of our democratic history...."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."Comment

Maybe more accurate to say he is not a good president but is an unprecedentedly successful politician.Originally posted by Jam-Fly View Post
All presidents are successful politicians by definition.
But becoming president effectively out of nowhere in the way he did is a feat unmatched in US politics.

Indeed.Originally posted by ArmaniJeans View Post
So, now that there is clear accountability at the top of our democracy (well we await the judiciary to confirm they operate to the same standards), now - if needed - actual enforcement measures can be implemented. Like fines for people in shops without masks for example. Or those hosting house parties. Or publicans not enforcing the regs.
All these things would be very hard to do if there was a lack of accountability at the top."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."Comment

I know this is directed at Hitch but it reminds me of one of my best mates ex's.Originally posted by oleras View PostRemember that one friend that went off on a J1 and came back berating everything here and saying how everything over there was so much better...and you told him to fuck back there if its so good....
She was an Ozzie living over here and she was a cunt of the highest order. I've never seen anybody so negative about Ireland ever. And it wasn't just that absolutely every single thing imaginable was better in Oz than in Ireland, it was the constant lack of effort she put in to anything, only to then moan about it.
As she was with my best mate, I genuinely went out of my way to try get on with her but eventually one night, with a few beers on me, I turned to her mid one of her rants and said, 'If everything is so fucking amazing in Australia, why don't you fuck off back there'
They broke up not too long after that and she moved to London and I think eventually back to Oz, we surprisingly didn't stay in touch.
The best bit about it was a few years after they broke up, I was down in my mates house on Christmas morning and somehow she came up in conversation. My mates mam (who is like my 2nd mother) saw my eyes roll at the mere mention of her name and asked me what I thought. I launched into how much of a cunt she was (in a gentle Christmas morning way of course) and his mam completely agreed with me, said she always hated her but didn't want to say anything at the time. The two of us spent the the next hour or so highlighting how my mate had such shite taste in women

Whilst in Manchester many moons ago , a friend of mine was ordering some fast food. The girl in the shop mocked his accent and continuously said cant understand you. I let her off twice then ordered his food very loudly in a mock Corrie accent . My mate collapsed laughing thinking I was joking but no I was going to empty the mustard (ah the mustard forum) if she continued. She got the message all right . The food was shite.

155 isn't the worst through town. Like it will still be terrible at times but it at least follows the Luas line down Dawson St, past Trinity and onto O'Connell St,. There's some of them (39,70 etc) which go a lunatic route via Dawson Street, Molesworth St, around the far side of Trinity near Pearse Station and eventually reaching O'Connell Bridge via the quays. Literally adding 20 minutes journey time for about 200 metres of as the crow flies.Comment
