Vance doesn't have the rabid fanbase Trump has. The man has the charisma of a wet paper sack.

Trump might be able to pull off keeping the Oval Office. Vance will not.

Of course it has a rock face.

Sealioning is when someone pretends to be 'just asking questions' in good faith in an attempt to sow discord in a community.

This was in response to someone talking about the drones being AI-piloted.

"The high-tech drones, which are piloted by a team of former military men and nationally ranked professional drone racers..."

Okay, now you're getting into semantics. I will remind you that the song is titled Jailbait, which means statutory rape. And if you look at the lyrics, the song is written pretty clearly from the point of view of a sleazeball.

Well sure, but that's not the virus's fault.

Yeah, you're not wrong - I'm not counting on it, by any stretch.

But I can hope.

Laws are written by people, in part, to enshrine ethics.

No, not all laws are about ethics, or even about what is just and right. But that's the basis of the system.

It's unethical to commit statutory rape, and people have agreed with this sentiment enough to make it very illegal, to the point that you risk jail time for committing it.

The fact that the song is titled 'Jailbait' should tell you something about the ethics of that.

It'll be far, far from the nail in the coffin, but we're already seeing promising movement among what was normally staunch Trump supporters.

It's only one avenue to follow though. We still have to do what we can wherever we can.

That's because the TVs are subsidized by selling your stolen info.
