    You know, there is a reason I mention the name of the podcast and not the person, right?

    I was not the one grouping them together. The article was doing that.

    You are mostly correct about the percentages of the population. I would not say "only a small percentage," but a smaller percentage than most other states. I had forgotten the large percentage of people with Colombian origins.

    According to Pew, Florida's Hispanic population is:
    Cuban Origin 26%
    Colombian Origin 18%
    PR Origin 16%
    Mexican Origin 11%
    Dominican Origin 5%
    Guatemalan Origin 2%
    Other Hispanic Origin 22%

    Native Born 52%
    Foreign Born 48%

    Biden leads by sizeable percentages but "lags" behind Clinton.

    The question is why this is.
    If it had anything to do with people"believing" the nonsense being broadcast, my point stands.

    Sorry, you can add me to list who has no idea who this person is. Most of the people you mention are vaguely familiar. Never heard of her.

    Even after looking her up and correcting the spelling, I still have no clue who she is.

    She claims to be a "sparkly vampire." I guess that is good enough for me.

    I think this Pew survey is pretty old, maybe 2011?

    I don't think this survey is recent. Venezuelans must easily in the top 5 now but it is not even on this list.

    Oh....Really? What a shock!

    This Thing Is a Killer’
    CNN released new audio from Bob Woodward’s interview with President Trump on April 13:
    TRUMP: This thing is a killer if it gets you. If you’re the wrong person, you don’t have a chance.
    WOODWARD: Yes, yes, exactly.
    TRUMP: So this rips you apart.
    WOODWARD: This is a scourge. And–

    What I dont get and maybe @argentine soccer fan and @dapip can help me is as a Ghanaian, we went through a Coup the year I was born. I was raised well aware of what a dictator is and their tendencies. Do this people not have their Spidey sense going crazy when they see what he says and does??

    This is why liberals lose!! We dont get how to properly market things. The right got global warming to be climate change and can get away with pro-life and not anti-abortion. We go for the shock and awe of defund the police and re-train the police or something that conveys the message better.

    The inference here is that she's read the Twilight series.

    Sorry - i was replying to Charlie on mobile and I know he knows who Swisher (typo and all)

    We've talked about this before, but I think it is unreasonable to expect me to explain who someone like Swisher or Favreau or Pfeiffer is every time I mention them. I frequently have no idea who various US cultural icons are who get mentioned on here. I google them.

    If only there was a modern way to reference people with an embedded link to their bio :p

    I find her pretty good because she doesn't kiss arse compared to your normal tech interviewers

    In recent weeks she has had on CEOs / Top brass from Alphabet, Uber, Tiktok etc etc etc

    Like the Uber CEO she basically told him to stop with the bullshit

    Yes.

    This is the mistake being made with Q right now.

    Once more the serious people think that exposing Q to the sunlight will get rid of it, but all they are really doing is promoting it in the mainstream. The believers won't be shamed into giving it up, and new people will discover it.

    What needs to happen is FB needs to stop platforming it.

    Isn’t FB doing that in their usual half-ass way?

    Apparently. Before that they claimed to be removing Covid conspiracy aspects on public health grounds which overlapped a lot into Q. My colleagues sister got indoctrinated into Q via covid truther content

    Dude, if you think that works, I have a bridge to sell you. As some mentioned earlier, it is a silly slogan and bad marketing.
