They say “anyone can become president”, but this will be the first presidential election since 1970s, where there is no Bush, Clinton, or Biden on the ballot.
  • A couple thoughts...

    It is talking about President, but counts years where those names appeared on the ballot as Vice President too.

    It also ignores that a lot of other people have also been on the ballots over the years.

    Also, some of this is natural. When a president has an 8 year run, the Vice President is a natural person to take a shot at the presidency, so it's perfectly normal to have 12 years where the same person is on the ballot as VP then P. It's natural for this to happen more than once in a row. Whether we've had this long of a streak or not, I don't know, but I suspect we might have.

    This showerthought covers 44 years. The Bushs and Clintons double dipping is 12 years worth of ballots, but the other 32 years were natural. Hilary lost when she tried to double dip so I would argue the 8 years of Dubya are really the only anomaly in actual presidencies as far as "dynasties" are concerned.

  • What Happened to the Biden Impeachment?
  • Ha, I thought this was a question and started to link to the lawfare article which came out today and has same title... because this was actually a link to the article and not a question

  • What is a small gadget under $10-20 that you absolutely LOVE?
  • I love wireless charging. I don't know how it would be a gimmick, except that it's slower than using a cord (but I think the next generation is supposed to be really fast). They make DIY wireless chargers that you can wire up and put in things. I have two that I mounted under the little tray on top of my dash. I put my wireless charging earbuds case in the tray and it automatically charges while I'm driving. I have a flashlight that can charge there too. The tray is too small for a phone or else a phone could charge there. I've been thinking about putting one inside my nightstand at home https://a.co/d/gdghAWp

    I also like magnetic phone holders with wireless charging. I made mine out of a different type of mount and charger but it's something like the link. I have one mounted to my dash where I can see the phone if I need nav or something, it holds it firmly and charges as I'm driving. Also mounted one on my desk next to the computer. https://a.co/d/7pauuzO

  • Marjorie Taylor Greene slams Laura Loomer for ‘extremely racist’ post about Harris
  • I mentioned in another thread that Loomer's racist tweet was on Sept 8. Loomer was on Trump's plane when he arrived for the debate on the 10th and he invited her to be his guest at the 9/11 memorial on the 11th. So yeah, he doesn't mind one bit. It's probably why she's getting to hang out with him.
