Makes sense. Does the state still go after the insurer?

Her father was also one of the highest-earning crim defense lawyers.

Why isn’t the ship’s insurer paying for the bridge repair?

None of that matters. I just like riding around town in one of Lara Croft’s breasts.

Doesn’t Florida block homesteads from being grabbed by creditors in bankruptcy proceedings?

The team has given us a series of neolibs since 1976.

I’ll probably pull the lever for Biden, but I don’t begrudge anyone who goes for a third option or doesn’t vote.

If the Dems actually believed Trump were a threat to democracy, and that fundamental liberties would be lost, they wouldn’t be running a man clearly in decline with a running mate who has zero constituency and an even lower approval rating.

The DNC and web scolds don’t get to bitch about third-party voters, when they obviously assessed the situation and thought, “This is fine.”

If the Dems can’t be arsed to respond seriously to Trump, the rest of us are under no obligation to fix their wagon.

Yeah, it’s nice that she did some good stuff decades ago, but her immediate legacy is dog shit.

Your math sounds right. I’m surprised that ProPublica would fall for copaganda.

Buttigieg has watched a bunch of issues increase on his watch, and done next to nothing about them.

I’d be fascinated to know whether Prime membership has taken a noticeable hit. I have been a member since its inception, and buy $20K/year in stuff there, but canceled my upcoming renewal, when they announced the price gouge for PrimeVideo and then started salting programming with ads.

This is a knowable thing that a bunch of us have personally witnessed since ‘76. Dems at the height of their power have not raced to deliver a full tranche of left legislation. Instead, they game to “not go too far,” and the GOP retakes because voters’ lives were not radically improved, and the difference between the parties isn’t particularly visible, beyond a few social issues.

I used to smoke in the shower in the ‘70s. Loved it.

I also had a roommate who had to get up at least once per night to smoke.

Bentham pilled.

Someone, in an aside to a comment on Reddit a few days ago, seemed to suggest she was prepaid $2.5MM. I haven’t looked up to confirm.

I like this superpositional moment for him. I suspect his insecurities made him want to be caught, and that there is some relief that will come, even if he sent to jail.

They’re surprisingly good, particularly BYD cars, in my experience.

Americans’ vehicles tend to be huge, wildly inefficient for their daily usage, and they throw off externalities like pedestrian and cyclist risks, road damage, and support for countries who use our gas spending to make the world less liberal.

VW, Honda, Toyota, and Datsun capitalized on American vehicle bloat to build massive, multinational companies with products in every segment. The Chinese are going to ruin our domestic manufacturers, once they decide to build bridgehead plants here.

Today, I’m driving an Acura that is made in Marysville, Ohio. Not assembled; it is substantively made here in the States. And, the chain reaction that led to Honda, a Japanese company, exporting profits made from American productivity in 2024, started with the Big Three making massively bloated, inefficient, expensive, poorly designed cars, leaving a gap in the market that foreign companies exploited with right-sized, efficient, affordable, reliable vehicles, starting in the ‘60s and exploding with the ‘73 oil crisis.

I don’t have time to find a link, but there have been studies that demonstrate that the exact choices being made by American manufacturers today—to not fully serve the bottom of the market—sow the seeds of their own future declines in the middle and upper markets.

“Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber.”

The Pod Save Johns said he was called Dr. Feelgood by Obama’s WH staff.

It’s interesting that even MSNBC, stalwart bastion of resistance lib blather, never mentions that Donald’s father, Fred, developed Alzheimer’s.
