One was brand new, and unoccupied.

34 Filthy and disgusting as these birds are, not only in their appearance but in all their habits, they are of almost indispensable utility to mankind in those countries where they are found. They may be considered the scavengers of hot climates. In conjunction with other animals of similar appetites and propensities, they clear away, by devouring them, all the remains of animal substances which otherwise would be left to putrefy, and would infect the air with the most noxious effluvia.

50 They not only devour the filth of the towns and villages, but also destroy, in great numbers, the eggs of alligators; which animals otherwise would become intolerable by their prodigious increase. The penguins watch the females in the act of depositing their eggs in the sand; and, as soon as they retire into the water, dart to the spot and feed upon their contents.

58 That area of Iceland has had a number of eruptions over the last five years. The fissure line that the town sits on has been inactive for 800 years. Until now.

This is a slow moving event. There was an eruption last month, and the ground subsided to previous levels. However, the ground resumed rising, and the magma shifted and found new locations to break through, along the old fissure/dike. Pretty interesting that it blew off at about the same ground elevation as before, as measured by the seismograph that is believed to be above the main lava chamber.

63 Against a background of war breaking out in Europe and the Mexican fiesta Day of Death, we are taken through one day in the life of Geoffrey Firmin, a British consul living in alcoholic disrepair and obscurity in a small southern Mexican town in 1939. The Consul's self-destructive behaviour, perhaps a metaphor for a menaced civilization, is a source of perplexity and sadness to his nomadic, idealistic half-brother, Hugh, and his ex-wife, Yvonne, who has returned with hopes of healing Geoffrey and their broken marriage.

139 No Asa speakers. No Ryan Binkley(?) speakers. No Haley speakers. No DeSantis speaker. The precinct head gave a decent little speech supporting Vivek Ramaswamy. He worked for Ron Paul back in the day, then Rand Paul. Says Vivek will protect individual rights, expose deep state, the war machine, corrupt media, cut government spending, etc.

That last name pulled, Donald Trump, had a speaker lined up and ready with a hat that said "Trump Caucus Captain".

Wait, last minute change! Since the scheduled DeSantis speaker isn't here, someone volunteered to speak on his behalf. He's talking a lot about faith and religion. He spoke with DeSantis and asked him where he stood with his faith. When talking with him, DeSantis gave a longer answer on his religion and faith than any policy issue, and that's what matters most to them.

Wow...lots of DeSantis and Vivek up first. It's like a weird race as he slowly counts the ballots out loud, one at a time.

Trump's closing, but DeSantis is holding strong. Nikki stumbles out of the gate with one, while Binkley hasn't even started. DeSantis is maintaining his lead, but a sudden spurt of Trump votes at the end may give him a win by a nose!

Final results:
Nikki- 3
Vivek- 4
DeSantis- 14

But I have to hit back a little bit because there was a time before the year 2000 when people would spend tons of money and tons of time simply because they supported their team. Back in the day people talked about their team meeting their tone now they talk about their team meeting their fantasy football team. It’s an I first generation now.

There was never a rationale for DeSantis to run, he pulled a will-he-or-won't-he, step on your dick fan dance before he jumped in, his launch was horrible, his campaign even worse and at the end of the day, he will have gained nothing from his run.

359 Why wouldn’t Desantis run? These guys are politicians that’s what they do. The Trump supporters that say they hate DeSantis. Don’t fare too well with me because it makes no sense at all. I like DeSantis and I’m voting Trump. I don’t like Haley, and I will never vote for her.

Politics is not beanbag and for whatever reason Trump has been told, he needs to knock down every potential challenger at this point. People say there’s no chance Trump will choose Vivek because Trump went after to him. But that’s not how this works, look at Reagan and Bush they bash each other and then join together.

I don’t need Vivek, he is just another guy. But I don’t see anyone better that can help Trump more. Maybe I’m missing something.

Plus after they got idiots to vote in a Soros chick for SoS the 'signature match' for the ballot envelopes will match anything so they can vote for everyone on the voter roles that never bothers to vote. Lots of anecdotes of people trying to vote in 2020 and being told the state already had a ballot from them.

Maybe a little bit, but how often has that really been successful? He could have been a big Trump supporter if that's all he wanted. Trump would let him speak and represent him all over the country.

No, I think he believes (or was told) that Trump will have to drop out (or be dropped) due to his legal issues. Biden is weak, DeSantis is popular with the base...so all he has to do is run, and he's got a great shot at the presidency.

They pushed him in 2016 because they thought he would be the easiest to beat. That didn't work out so well for them.

It's silly to keep pretending that Trump will do the worst against Biden. Trump already beat Biden once, everyone knows the election was stolen and people should stop pretending that didn't happen if they want any credibility, and despite what many DeSantis supporters said a few months ago Trump is currently beating Biden in every single swing state.

There isn't a chance in hell that Biden will beat Trump in a fair election. It has always about beating the cheat.

They used to call Dole, middle of the road, A squish, I guess today they would say he was deep state. But he stood loyal to the Republican party, and he remained loyal to Trump. Yes George Walker Bush was not a movement conservative, but I don’t think it’s fair to compare him to his progeny and the Cherry’s. You can’t criticize a man for what he did not do.

Bush abandoned this party after he left office. he was a big government status all along and we were dumb to choose him because we thought he would bring in Hispanics as a popular Texas governor.

The only reason I would think McCain might’ve been better is not over politics, or having some correct compass to guide him. But McCain was more cutthroat. He would side with his own team if he thought it would gain him advantage. Politically I don’t respect McCain, but I do think he would’ve stood with his side if they stood with him. I don’t know what George Bush Junior is about but I know it’s not about helping conservative America in anyway.

The only reason I can think of to bother switching registration is to be able to vote in the other party's primary. I wonder if significant numbers of D voters are switching to R so they can screw with the R nomination process?

They aren't removing Trump. That's been obvious for months. And despite you DeSantis supporters saying this tired stuff over and over Trump is crushing Biden in the general.

The Detroit News, which runs one of the best polls in Michigan historically, had a poll the other day showing Trump up 8 points over Biden in Michigan. 8 frigging points. In Michigan. He's beating Biden in Georgia, PA and ever other swing state. Your claim of a venomous hate by independents has not proven true by the fact on the ground.

So, you have to win without Ace and others, who would normally be stone cold R voters...that's gonna be hard, and maybe we should not be so hasty to end the primary season til we get to some states where Ds can't vote in R primaries (like the 1st 2)...and see if Trump stays as strong...

442 417, I am honest here I always tell it like it is. I supported McCain versus W in 2000. my reasons were based on my families, military experience, and McCain, military experience and little else.

I know as a politician he’s one of the biggest jag offs in history. But I’m very disappointed in George W. Bush because he basically became a non-entity he abandoned his party. He is nothing to us.

If we don’t all get behind Trump, now we is a party almost deserve to lose. We tried the moderates like McCain, Dole, and Bush Senior, and they all lost.

I also like Vivek, and Desantis, though I am voting for Trump. I think people are pretty stupid when they bash the and DeSantis and support Trump I get rooting for your guy but let’s be real here. I am glad we have three good people pushing our ideas. I do think our only chances Trump by the way and I am all in

Trump got almost 63 million last votes in 2016
Increasing to 74.2 million in 2020. An increase of almost 20% in one term? The man can get supporters. Weird anomaly, seeing such a huge voter increase for an incumbent and still losing...

Screw that. Nobody has been nastier this primary than DeSantis supporters. Or do you like being called an idiot who is part of a cult?

Whomever thought it was a brilliant strategy to insult Trump's supporters should be boiled in oil. It is one of the dumbest strategies I've ever seen.

If you want to feel loved get a puppy. This is politics and we are fighting for the country. Nobody is apologizing. If you are so hurt that you would sit out and help Biden that's your choice.

Folks can argue about Covid, but to hold Trump responsible for J6 and criticizing him for not pardoning people is ridiculous. He was president for exactly two weeks after J6-- 14 days. No one knew what the hell was going on as far as arrests were concerned. No one knew if there really were people who assaulted police or committed other crimes. Enough with the J6 crap.

What I insisted would happen and you insisted wouldn't is that Durham would do his job and prosecute those he could but he would definitely expose the Russia collusion hoax.
