re: For those 60 and up

It was a 90% white country where all people were moderate to conservative by today's standards. In other words, it was a totally different country, and a totally different type of feel is not surprising.
No celebrations. Just protests and vigils.

re: To HELL with ACB......

ACB was more of a pick designed to overturn Roe, being a strong Catholic. Even though her selection was successful in that regard, she has otherwise been a disappointment. There would have been other good picks who would have voted to overturn Roe, and otherwise voted with a conservative voice.
All of the ideas and suggestions in this thread are great...until another Democrat takes over in the WH. Just like with Biden, the first thing the next one will do is reopen the border, and then you'll have all the NGOs and globalist networks getting back to helping people move up through South and Central America with food, water, phones, debit cards, whatever they need to get through the Darien Gap to get here and then reproduce.

It's crazy that there are three "conservative" SCOTUS justices who are okay with this happening again in the future.

It's crazy how far to the left the Democrat party has shifted in the last 30 years. They used to compete with the GOP on ideas. Now they are openly trying to win through illegal immigration and voter fraud.

The SCOTUS isn't too worried about it, minus three justices, apparently.
At least Frost Stop doesn't have structural issues. Charity Hospital had foundation problems upon original construction.

You can't do anything interesting with Charity because it has a dense forest of structural columns that can't be relocated. It will have small rooms forever. Fifteen years ago when the City was looking into moving City Hall and civil district court into Charity, they hired a national architect in the field, who said it couldn't be done in a satisfactory way.

There is a lot of nostalgic attachment to Charity, but it should have been demolished after Katrina.

Most white shoe law firms on Poydras are considered to be doing really well at $500+ an hour depending on the type of client. Even 300 to 400 is great for certain types of work.

Houston and Atlanta would laugh at that. There are some really good lawyers in Nola and they are a bargain comparatively speaking.
This.

Also don't forget packing the SCOTUS, and DC and Puerto Rico statehood.

Taking it all together, they basically want a totally different country with a socialist government.
All part of the globalist liberal agenda. Every state like California. Dysfunctional and third world.
It's all very annoying but Thune is not wrong. There aren't 50 GOP Senators willing to nuke the filibuster. Even if you flipped the two Georgia seats back to red you still wouldn't have enough. The GOP needs to flip another 7 to 8 Senate seats to pass the Save Act. That's just reality.

Look at where the Democrat party is politically right now. If they regain the house, senate and WH all in the same cycle ever again, you'll be praying the Senate filibuster is still in place.
A lot of the old streets in Nola didn't have curbs so they would put those shells between the asphalt and the sidewalk. My grandmother's house had that.
It is indeed a terrible turnout, especially where the incumbent is arguably responsible for a mass catastrophe, and the campaigns received national attention.

Most conservatives left L.A. years ago. What is left is a black and brown population that skews heavily left. Besides the likely mail in voting fraud, the big story of this election is the total apathy the current population has for its own political fate. They don't care.
The ones who are really being screwed by this are the moderate Latino voters in L.A. who voted for Pratt. Their voices are being stifled. There aren't enough white people left in L.A. for them to move the needle.
Raman will end up with 81 million votes once the counting is done.
They had to tear down the old cotton exchange building because it was structurally unsound and in danger of collapse. My ancestors worked in that building.
This story is a lot to chew on
No. LSU was not beating eventual national champion UNLV in 1990 nor Duke in 1991. Those were legendary, all time great teams. LSU had a handful of superstars but was a fairly unspectacular team across the board especially at guard, even with Chris Jackson in the mix in 1990. Dale's two final four teams were better despite not having big lottery picks.

Ironically it was uneven, poor recruiting that did in the Shaq teams, despite the perception of Dale as only a recruiter.
It also helped that in 1976 most people in this country were native born Americans.

Present day we have upwards of 50 million illegal immigrants running around who aren't assimilating, and who were invited here to receive free stuff in exchange for voting a certain way. That is on top of whatever the liberals in media, academia, arts and entertainment are doing to make actual Americans hate their own country.
The rematch led to the playoffs, and Les Miles was so dumb that he told the on field reporter after the game "it would be an honor" to play Alabama again that season. Be careful what you wish for. The correct response would have been "we beat them at their place, we're ready for another challenger."

Prior to the BCS NCG, that LSU team was being discussed as the best team of all time. They had the resume to back it up. Bama had no resume that year, and they sat home and watched the SECCG on TV while ESPN allowed Saban to campaign for them on their broadcast. It was all so gross.
I would be concerned about an Ashley Madison type hack and being on some embarrassing online list forever.
