To try to get Democrats to vote for him when he split out to strengthen Trump's chances. He was relying on his name, but his statements and opinions kept getting in the way and making it obvious what he really was.

On the bright side... Rush Limbaugh's grave is now a gender neutral bathroom.

Thanks to laws passed by Trump allies in the state Legislature, Raffensperger has been removed from the election board. Other members were removed as well, eventually handing control of the board to a three-member MAGA majority that is dedicated not to free and fair elections but to elections that Trump can win. Trump himself, at a recent rally in Georgia, celebrated those three members, by name, as his “pitbulls” for victory.

Lots of Christian conservatives have turned away from Trump and have a chance of voting couch over him. Now if there's a chance a gay man might be president it may motivate a lot of people to get up and keep the gay man from being in charge. Nothing motivates voters like fear or hate. The left would have to be 100% behind him and foaming at the mouth to go out and vote, or else it'd be a win for the Rs. That being said, a black woman carries a slightly less chance of that. The racists are already 100% behind trump and motivated to get Mr. Very Fine People on Both Sides back in the oval office.

I'd vote Pete though... I was hoping he'd get the 2020 nomination.

Not ultralight gear list (lighterpack.com)

I'm new to the community and thought a little activity on the community couldn't hurt!

I am a pretty large guy (6'2", 240lbs) who's also pushing 50. As much as I'd like to do ultralight, I struggle to keep my base weight around 20lbs because I need large gear and sleeping on the ground is not that sexy for me. Plus... I have a chair because sitting on the ground is about as unsexy as sleeping on the ground is. I started off with a 50+lb pack and have gotten better gear as I've gotten more into backpacking.

I've done the CA section of PCT and now I do section hikes on the AT as I live on the east coast now. My trail name is JoePaca, and if you've seen me at a camp, I'm pretty easy to remember.

I'm happy to give honest opinions on any of the gear in my list, but I'm pretty happy with all of it.

 

A rpi 4 running pihole and small scale backups through rsync, two HP elitedesks, one running ESXi 6.7, other running Ubuntu with multipass and docker, and a Dell SFF running unraid.

It ain't much, but it gives me some play areas and backup capabilities for the house.
