Odds of Biden stepping down, being replaced. Choose.

Actually, I myself didn't know. I always figured it referenced a mold for industrial reproduction, but your explanation does make sense. Either metaphor would work, actually, for the implication intended.

The die is cast

What does the saying "the die is cast" mean?

idiom. used to say that a process or course of action has been started and that it cannot be stopped or changed. Once we signed the contract, the die was cast, and there was no turning back.

The etymology is not discussed.

A die is a specialized machine tool used in manufacturing industries to cut and/or form material to a desired shape or profile.

It seems either origin is possible.

The phrase is Latin. Iacta alea est. From over 2000 years ago, long before machine manufacturing.

I traveled and lived in a world beyond your world. What you despise, I love.

Ever try bamboo soup with armadillos?

How about crocodile kebab?

Rat sausage with basil?

Dancing (alive) lobsters marinated in spice?

I have pics of that and more if you want but upto you if you wanna vomit or not!

I herd you liek mudkips.

Then there's too much.

Just a chunk is too much for me! But everyone has different tastes so as long as people enjoy it I'm good with it being a thing, I'd just rather not join in.

A bit like folk dancing!

Making sure Trump gets annihilated in November is how Nancy Pelosi answers the people who mocked her own close call with stochastic terrorism.

Wave a hammer at them Nancy, and smile. Helping put the final nails in the coffin of Trump's chances at dictatorship would be something of a crowning achievement for you, no?

I that racist creep loses to a non-white woman he's going to flip his wig or hair or whatever that thing on his head is, and so will all his white is right supporters. Kind of a dessert to the main course of knowing he's not running things. IF, of course.

 

[skyking]

Lol there's going to be one idiot that throws their name in. Well at least we know it can't be Manchin or Sinema.

But what's the difference during the primaries, that an independent run for consideration?

Whoever is stupid enough to stand up and raise their hand is going to get pummeled by spitballs like an Animal House video.
For what it's worth, I had 0% when I voted and I would never change my vote because that's dishonest horseshit.
I really thought Joe would stick it out but I'm going to roll what's going on now. Yeehaw!
She is going to destroy cadet bone spurs at every turn. And all this money coming in is going to give us an endless stream of attack ads independent of what she's doing.
That fucking gas bag is made up of nothing but targets. It'll be easy.

I changed from 0% chance initially to 50% after last week.

Whitmer

I think Whitmer might do better than Kamala as Presidential candidate, but I can see her as VP. Fair or not, I cant see winning with a two woman ticket.

 

[ondma]

I hate the way this shit has played out. The total disrespect that Biden got really pisses me off. But it had to be done. History will treat him well if Kamala wins. I can't think of a better president in my lifetime. and that includes obama

Obama, Clinton (great economy, balanced the budget), JFK? I really dont get all these posters that think Biden did such a great job. All he really accomplished was an infrastructure bill. His supporters will point to the economy, but that is a mixed bag at best. Lots of "jobs", but have you tried to buy a car or house? Rent an apartment? Get medical care? Gone to the grocery store?

 

[eelw]

Lol topic now about pineapples 🤣

 

[cytg111]

I changed from 0% chance initially to 50% after last week.

I went from 30 to 50 to 10%, I really thought Biden had solidified support and beaten down the rebellion.

Anyway, what about a Harris/Obama ticket?

 

[Stopsignhank]

Lol topic now about pineapples 🤣

The real question is how does Kamala feel about pineapples on pizza?

 

[Indus]

I herd you liek mudkips.

You heard wrong but the colors are not far off.. I like Doraemon!

 

[Stopsignhank]

Remember what a stink there was when Obama asked for Guldens mustard on his hot dog?

 

[Stopsignhank]

I know I am glad to see everyone getting behind Harris and endorsing her. Everyone knows the main goal is to get behind one person and make sure the orange turd dies not get elected.

My dog walker texted me yesterday afternoon that she was really upset Biden stepped down. But I texted her back today and she was all excited and had donated. She saw all the excitement and donations coming in and got super pumped. She is in!

At work a woman asked my brother in law what he thought of the news, he was cautious but optimistic. She said she and her family were glued to the TV all day they were so goddamn excited!

Clinton rode up on the extraordinarily crazy times of Dotcom boom. That was not him.
He was by no means supporting left agendas and basically stole the middle from the Republicans.
All of those inflation problems you point up are international. The US doesn't own the inflation. Quit mouthing the right-wing talking points for fuck's sake.

I don't care. Best thing ever since I tasted it in Thailand. I have not had a pizza without pineapple since 2011.

They even do seafood on pizza down there.. squid, octopus, manta ray but pineapple was my limit!

I did shrimp once, not at all my thing. Love shrimp, love pizza, do not like them together.

Potential benefits of having a non-elderly candidate begin to emerge.

DIE. The die is cast, not dye. Die in this instance is a reference to a single die, or one of a pair of dice.

Thought that someone who posts walls of textual diarrhea would certainly know what and how that expression is written and what it means.

I thought Die in this case was a forging or casting die. Not a die as in one dice.

Good to see the Indian uber taxi drivers hooked up her with her drugs pronto!

You don't want her striking balls.. or specifically those sized balls..

Or wait.. maybe a soccer ball would be better!
