I don’t want to get into a whole conspiracy theory here, and I know the totals aren’t all in yet, but it is a little interesting that there were 11 million fewer votes for Harris than Biden and Trump’s vote total was about the same. Did 11 million who voted for Biden just not like Harris enough to vote for anyone this time? I realize the landscape was different with Covid, mail in ballots, etc. but 11 million missing votes is a pretty large amount.

It's an untenable narrative. Supposedly 11 million extra people came out with a strictly anti-Trump vote and suddenly none of these people bother to stop Trump this time around.

Biden had 95% of registered democrats voting for him. That is an insane number. His rallies were empty, so it was obviously not because of enthusiasm for him as a candidate. With Kamala getting none of these extra votes you gotta wonder what the hell is going on.

I stayed up all night watching that count. Trump was way ahead everywhere until suddenly they stopped counting, and then the next day all the votes had apparently gone to Biden.

She's bat shit crazy.


If we gotta have a conflict with Russia, it better be over something a helluva lot more important than Syria.

That's mainly rhetoric. She's not a stupid woman. Corrupt as hell, probably going to start at least one war, but sharp and competent, knows her way around Washington and she's got a big enough ego to do her own thing. I would rather have her in charge than Biden. Trump had the benefit of being a lame duck so his presidency was uneventful, which can be a good thing. But clearly something needs to be done proactively too.

I don't believe for one second that Russia is going to start a major war over Syria. They might over Ukraine, but not a mid eastern country. Perhaps a strong move there would have sent a message and the Ukraine war could be prevented or mitigated. Turkey shot down a Russian plane. Putin did jack shit about it. The Russian posture is 90% bluff. America could benefit from acting tougher.

Thanks. Denver seems like a nice looking city. Decent buildings, clean and well kept.

I was in Florida once and I always wondered why Orlando was a cleaner, more modern looking city than Miami. Many such odd geographical differences in the US.

Can some of you Americans tell me why Colorado is a liberal state? That whole region in the US seems to be so conservative.

Progressives AND Liberals!

Their arrogance and smugness surrounding everything political became unbearable…i can’t believe how the people of tolerance and compassion were totally incapable of listening.

And the hypocrisy…my god…don’t tell me you’re the protectors of democracy while you anoint your candidate and skip the primaries…because minority women are here to get revenge on the evil white men.

Kamala was the ULTIMATE DEI candidate. At least Hillary had a shit ton of experience despite being unlikeable. Kamala was just…there…saying stupid shit like ‘I’m speaking…’

A Hillary presidency would have been interesting. Could have gone either way.

Kamala would just be Biden 2.

Not excited Trump won, but I suppose it's the better outcome.

Kamala depends on how many can't stand her compared to Biden. Hard to see Trump get a ton more votes than last time. How many will vote Trump that voted Biden? Can't be many.

Title track is like a different song. If they hit that on the radio in 2001 it might catch on.

Album feels watered down, all the edges evened out. It reminds me of Boston's Third Stage which feels over polished and..sterile.

Don't spend a decade on an album I suppose.

I'll take Hillary over either of these two clowns.

The Trump assassin is a Duff lookalike.

I hate to point this out, but the band's discography was paper thin to begin with. They released music from 87-91, most of TSI was in those years. There was Chinese Democracy in 2008. That was 16 years ago and many of those tracks are from the 90's.

It is what it is. There's no reason to believe Guns N' Roses is gonna suddenly enter a creative phase at this point in their 60's.

They could always do a another TSI. I get it that he's hard for inspiration and have to respect not wanting to put out sub par material, but he's not even trying. He went out and did the AC/DC thing right in the middle of his own reunion tour, like some kid. So clearly there is still passion there. Doing a few vocal lines on Slash' album, anything, to get the wheels moving again. He had the same problem in the 90s too and that didn't stop him from putting a whole new band together with the intention of writing a comeback album. Took years for him to lay down a single vocal, but he was trying. This reunion should be the perfect opportunity to do something before they get too old, and yet he's like a ghost. Can't even get into a room with Slash, does this thing over the phone. Peculiar is what it is.
