He prefers his full name, Eduardo, and his nickname, "The Zakmeister".  

He once was a second team All American defensive end at North Dakota State.

Smuggler arrested with 300 tarantulas strapped to his body | CNN

Police in Peru have arrested a man caught trying to leave the country with 320 tarantulas, 110 centipedes and nine bullet ants strapped to his body.

The 28-year-old South Korean national was stopped at Jorge Chávez International Airport in Lima on November 8 after officials noticed that his stomach area looked “bulky,” according to a statement from the country’s national forestry and wildlife service, SERFOR, published November 13.

You do realize that Biden immediately reversed virtually all of Trump’s border policies with his own executive orders right? Including halting work on the border wall that was under contstruction.
I get that, just didn't DO nearly enough for my tastes.  I think he is a terrible politician.

I would push back on that. I think it is even more prevalent among Republicans. Ohio went for Trump handily, 55 to 43(ish). But many states were less competitive. Further, in Ohio, I didn't do a count but my my eyes about half of all counties went to Trump by 70% or more, which gets into the "no one I know voted for Harris" territory.

And certainly, we saw some real world examples. Trump spread the lie that the 2020 election was stolen, and supported with a box of peanuts and a fever dream, but people were a lot more likely to believe it, mostly because a lot of his supporters knew hardly anyone who voted for Biden.
This is funny, it is like the Holtmann debate.  I provide facts and you provide unsupported lines.  

There's probably 5x the square mileage of Rs that never knowingly interact with Ds (and don't like "going to town").
You two are flat wrong here.  If you look at the Cook PVI of all 435 Congressional Districts there are:
Favored by 36-40:
  • 8 D
  • 0 R
Favored by 31-35:
  • 8 D
  • 2 R
Favored by 26-30:
  • 19 D
  • 7 R
Favored by 21-25:
  • 26 D
  • 26 R

These 21-25% favored districts are roughly 2:1.  The districts where the "critical mass" issue becomes real are D by a 35:9 ratio.  

Look at actual exit poll data.  Democrats simply ARE more densely packed than Republicans.  This is a fact for which I have given evidence.  Because of this there are a LOT of Democrats who live in areas where Republicans seem to not exist.  There simply aren't significant numbers of comparable Republican areas.

I assume the 1 mile walk to the pub takes about 15 minutes.

I'll bet the 1 mile walk home takes about 45 minutes.

The difference is staggering.
