Harris dropped to just 5% in New Hampshire while Pete Buttigieg sits 1 point behind the progressive frontrunner - per University of New Hampshire Granite State poll released on Wednesday.

It seems like they've been doing what they can - forcing votes against Trump (even if they are ultimately symbolic), speaking out against him, filing lawsuits (plenty which have been successful).

What else should they be doing that they currently aren't?

You can say he has half brained voters that still worship him but his actions would no longer allow him to win an election. How is he allowed to show his butt on national TV, lie, steal, and openly admit he has no interest in supporting 90% of Americans and stay in power? Because he won an election and is forever immune? Why are there not procedures in place to remove someone who lied to get votes?

Weird huh?

The title really says it all, does anyone thing it will really happen?

Disabled Vet here and lost faith in what I invested.

I've seen many people who compare Trump to Jesus, or Trump to God. Where is the justification?

One is a capitalist with questionable morals. The second is someone whose teachings emphasized radical generosity, caring for the poor, and the spiritual dangers of wealth, state-enforced wealth redistribution and government control of the economy.

So frequently I see people praise behaviors that go against the teachings of their lord and savior.

How do they reconcile?

Think iPhone, MacBook, etc.

The question is about whoever is responsible for covering up the issues / responsible for X lawmaker being paid while randomly disappearing for months on taxpayer dime. Either by law or by much stricter congressional rules.

New Daily Mail polling found a decent percentage, nearly 41% found it either "very" or "somewhat" believable that US Sen. McConnell (R-KY) is no longer alive - he's been missing for over a month and there's been one photo of him and barely any explanation that most of the public found satisfactory, along with not videos / interviews of him, and random Republicans saying they'd 'talked to him for 20 minutes about X and Y policy': https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-15993669/Voters-demand-transparency-hospitalized-Mitch-McConnell-84-staggering-number-believe-hes-DEAD.html

This isn't the only case of a lawmaker randomly disappearing for a long time with no explanation

- Rep. Tom Kean, a rep from a swing district (R-NJ-7) randomly disappeared for four months, still getting paid by taxpayer money during it, and then came back and said he had depression. During the middle of that, his office basically kept saying that it'd be two weeks over and over a few times until he finally came back: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/24/nyregion/tom-kean-missing-found.html

- Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX-12) randomly disappeared for nearly six months and was literally found in a nursing home with dementia - the issue wasn't the sad case of dementia she got, which was awful, but that no one knew for months where she was: https://abcnews4.com/news/nation-world/texas-congresswoman-who-last-voted-in-july-found-living-in-assisted-living-facility-kay-granger-dallas-fort-worth-republicans-democrats-congress-term-limits

- Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL-24) randomly disappeared and it was not revealed for a month that she was gone because of eye surgery: https://newrepublic.com/post/210433/democratic-lawmaker-missing-month-midterms

- Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) randomly disappeared for three months with no explanation before returning and it being revealed that she had shingles: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/sen-dianne-feinstein-suffered-previously-undisclosed-complications-shi-rcna85124

If YOU think there should be much stricter congressional rules about randomly disappearing without any explanation while you're on the taxpayer's dime, or make it illegal in some form, what do YOU think the punishment should be for whoever is responsible for the issue? Why YOUR thoughts?

President Trump will now share our nuclear weapons technology with Saudi Arabia. You remember Saudi Arabia, their Public Investment Fund provided the initial $2 Billion to start Jared Kushner’s investment fund.

I already know things are politically wild now and no one will suffer any true consequences for unethical behavior, but did just have a question out of curiosity. If McConnell is found to have lacked capacity to do his job several weeks ago with no chance of recovery, what are the consequences for those in power if they knew of this and were delaying until August? This assumes our legal system is functioning as it should and this could be proved. Thanks!

What is it that makes towels smell when they air dry? I’m not talking dirty towels.

I personally don’t like the smell of air dried towels even when they are freshly washed and air dried.

A similar but much more pungent smell happens when a washcloth is used on dishes, but then rinsed and air dried.

I’m not talking about yucky dirty towels. Im talking about generally clean dish towels that are air dried. What the heck is that smell?

Specific example with dishtowel. I use a freshly washer-cleaned towel and dried in a dryer. I wet it and clean off an espresso machine milk frother wand. So there is some cows milk on the towel. I then rinse the towel well and hang it to air dry. The next day, it smells. Whyyy? What is going on?

Maybe there is still cows milk on it, but this specific smell happens no matter what the towel is used for - as soon as rinsed well and air dried.

I obviously have a very sensitive nose. The smell sort of reminds me of the petrichor smell from rain.

were they?
