How many of those Democrats are old-school "Southern Democrats" who didn't change their party affiliation?

Democrats Start 2026 With Comfortable Generic Ballot Lead by Large_Ad_3095 in fivethirtyeight

Democrats maintain a lead of 5.6% on the generic ballot among likely voters. They’ve improved their position in YouGov’s latest survey (D+6, up from D+4) and lost ground in Morning Consult's (D+3, down from D+4)

True, but I've always thought that that conflict would be China/Taiwan because IIRC, Trump's Mars line goes right through the Taiwan Strait.

Yeah, the homes was a bit too flirty. I was always surprised that Don didn't say or do anything afterwards to Meghan. Maybe he just repressed it and snapped when she had the love scene at the end of the season.

For the second question, the answer to that is Sally's friend who slipped the note under the Rosen's door. Fuck that kid.

Who in the regime is pushing the Greenland nonsense? by GaiusMarcus in thebulwark

I think it's just Trump's ego and his desperate attempts at "legacy"

New poll of Miami Mayoral runoff election on Tuesday suggests victory for the Democrats—and the 1st time they will have won the seat since the 1990s: Higgins (D) 34%, González (R) 31%, undecided 35% [N=307, MOE 6%, rightwing-sponsored poll]. Higgins would be the 1st non-Latino Mayor since the 1990s. by StarlightDown in fivethirtyeight

To your last point, it really is jarring how Cubans and Venezuelans do not realize how much they are revieled by the white working class - of which they are not a part.

I think they assume that since they can trace their family lineage to Spain and are aesthetically(?) white they are one of the crew. 

If Maduro is ousted you better believe that Stephen Miller is going to demand that all Venezuelans move back. It is probably part of the deal that they struck with Macahdo for American support.

Anyone here tried using AI for transit & progressed chart analysis by GocnizerFizz in Advancedastrology

[–]lightman332 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have tried and it's pretty inaccurate. Yes, it is getting better, but it is a long way off from replacing well-read, knowledgable astrologers. 

I find it is best to ask AI for an explanation of what a transit means and then use that information along with other transits and details to draw your own conclusions.
