discolé monade Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 What was society like before the fall of Rome? Life in Rome just before the fall of the Western Roman Empire was characterized by a combination of political instability, economic decline, and social upheaval. The empire faced external threats from invading barbarian tribes, as well as internal challenges such as corruption, inflation, and a shrinking tax base. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarus27k Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Another way to look at is ... In the exit poll of the Iowa caucuses, ~30% of Republicans said that would NOT vote for Trump in November. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icarus27k Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I expect DeSantis to be another Scott Walker. Remember that guy?

Raptorpat Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Donald Trump won the primary, which I think basically cements that he's the guy unless something happens in the courts before the primary ends. But I'm pretty sure this is a major underperformance compared to expectations, which isn't exactly a great sign for him. Even if Haley's numbers were inflated by independent voters, that would still imply that he's still toxic to independent voters. Biden also won the (unofficial) primary as a write-in candidate, Murkowski style. As of right now, Dean Phillips got beat by *checks notes* "unprocessed write-ins" and Marianne Williamson didn't even win enough to make it out of the "other candidates" tab. But also note that turn out on either side was extremely small, which kind of says a lot in its own right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptorpat Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 actually I'm seeing stuff that it was supposed to be a trump blowout and other stuff that said roughly this margin so I don't know what the general consensus was and I'm not going back to look because I'm up too late Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarus27k Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 A surprising story of the last week is how bad Sen. Tim Scott has kissed Trump's butt. Scott was once thought to be a rising star for Republicans. But then again, once upon a time, Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy and Ron DeSantis were thought about that way too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master-Debater131 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 If you havent seen it, heres the relevant audio clip that Kari Lake recorded. I dont blame DeWit trying to get Kari to drop out though.

See my post regarding this topic: nothing in that clip can be construed as a telltale behavior of someone with dementia. The repeated insistence by many people to diagnose the president without any actual evidence is both absurd on its face and detrimental to those who are exhibiting early signs of the condition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
