    - Two kids heard daddy's special pager go off so they picked it up to bring to him.... -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 19, 09:55 4
      - it's tragic, they're not the targets. Hezbullah sucks almost as much as Hamas. Palestinian casualties serve their purpose, they even inflate the #s -- nm - mud Sep 19, 10:01 3
        
        Palestinian deaths are much more than 40k...UN thinks it's way over 200,000 maybe 300k. The 40k is just those registered with health dept -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 19, 10:06

      - weird that they didn't send pagers and walkie talkies to Hamas in December then -- nm - mr mooch Sep 19, 09:39 6
        
        BBC (or was it al jaz) addressed that, Hamas has their own methods, remember israel runs the cell towers, they use tunnels and runners -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 19, 11:43 1
        
        here is a couple paragraphs from Aljazeera article - zeitgeist Sep 19, 11:51
        
        The latest reports suggests the vector was the battery supply chain. Explosives covertly added to the batteries. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 19, 09:43 3
        
        So that could mean there's more out there unknown...say, do airport scanners detect those? -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 19, 09:57 2
        
        Scanners wouldn't imo. Wonder if sniffer dogs would. I don't know if we know what kind of explosive is used. And if dogs are trained for it. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Sep 19, 10:16
        
        Lebanon's airports seem to think so -- (link) - mr mooch Sep 19, 10:00

North Carolina is going to get really interesting. -- (link) - Volnelk 🍊 Sep 19, 09:07 23
- also not sure how "if you don't drop out because of this bombshell story CNN is about to publish" really pressures anyone to get out of a race - mr mooch Sep 19, 10:32
- Wait…this is separate from the daily porn store visits and paying hookers to the point he had to declare bankruptcy? -- nm - Trending Sep 19, 09:34 8
  - he had already said a lifetime of awful things on the public record before NC Republicans chose to nominate him as their candidate - mr mooch Sep 19, 09:36 7
    - "If it's a story that could knock Mark Robinson out of a race it's genuinely terrifying to contemplate what that could be." -- (link) - mr mooch Sep 19, 09:39 6
      - (what it's really about is NC GOP has numbers telling them Kamala will win the state and kicking Robinson out now is the least bad choice to stop her) -- nm - mr mooch Sep 19, 09:43 5
        
        It would be the rare up ballot effect. -- nm - Dano Sep 19, 09:50 4
        
        it's worse. NC law would just reverse immunity idol any ballots cast for Robinson to his replacement even if the name on the ballot is Robinson -- (link) - mr mooch Sep 19, 10:06 3
        
        So maybe there was an advantage to waiting till the last possible minute to withdraw? -- nm - con_carne Sep 19, 10:10 2
        
        Doubt it. It requires a lot of voter education. I assume many people would still vote against Robinson if they see his name on the ballot. - Dano Sep 19, 10:16
        
        the electoral damage has been done for months. this is about trying to salvage the state for Trump not actually win the governorship -- nm - mr mooch Sep 19, 10:14

  - This story says it’s online message board stuff — racist and anti-Jewish -- (link) - Will Hunting Sep 19, 09:30 1
    - in North Carolina? - mr mooch Sep 19, 09:31
  - Even with the logistics nightmare, Republicans probably have a better chance in the race if he drops out. -- nm - Dano Sep 19, 09:28
  - "two wired sources tell me the oppo, and platform from which it came, is of a sexual nature" -- (link) - mr mooch Sep 19, 09:14 8
    - Huh. This source says racist and antisemitic. -- (link) - mara Sep 19, 09:29 2
      - With Robinson, it is likely all true. -- nm - Dano Sep 19, 10:00 1
        
        That's what I'm thinking too. -- nm - mara Sep 19, 10:06
    - Wait, wasn't this the guy who went to porn shops every day? -- nm - pmb Sep 19, 09:28 2
      - To combat evil, you have to be intimately familiar with its trappings. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 19, 09:30
      - a one-day story two weeks ago -- (link) - mr mooch Sep 19, 09:30
    - involves “activities on adult websites in the 2000s” -- nm - budice Sep 19, 09:22

- I hear ya. We can have Survivor discussions tomorrow after we both watch tonight. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Sep 19, 10:01
I wouldn’t be surprised if pollsters are trying to overcompensate for the 3-4% of liars who vote Trump but don’t want to admit it. - Will Hunting Sep 19, 09:00 4
- Individual pollsters on the 538 podcast have said they've adjusted their polls based on the 2020 presidential numbers. - Inigo Sep 19, 09:23 2
  - has anything happened since 2020 to change voter turnout habits even more? -- nm - mr mooch Sep 19, 09:25 1
    - Dobbs, like you said, which was apparent in 2022 and the individual votes since. -- nm - Inigo Sep 19, 09:27
