I’m sorry that guy was at a shooting but a visor with Trump 20204 might be the most loser-coded thing I’ve ever seen. If you hold that visor up to your ear like a seashell, you can hear someone complaining about a family court judge ruling against him after he represented himself.
The guy who shot Reagan was trying to impress Jodie Foster. It wouldn’t be unprecedented if it was motivated by something bizarre.
The new policy is that you need to have a minimum of 15 pieces of flair. It’s up to you if you want to do the bare minimum but Brian, for example, has 37 pieces of flair, okay? And a great smile.
I feel like this conversation is basically:
Against Biden: “He’s old as fuck and you’re in denial.”
For Biden: “I’m aware he’s old as fuck and I think you haven’t fully considered the legal, financial, and political ramifications of him dropping out at this stage in the race.”
Ad nauseam, forever. None of us know what’s going on. The reporting has been awful and full of motivated framing and anonymous sources. Half of it is the typical “Democrats in disarray,” which is such a beloved media topic that there’s been memes about it since before the internet. It’s ok to just not know when you aren’t privy to solid information.
Louisiana uses “Parishes” and they’re functionally equivalent. It’s based on French and Spanish rule where Catholic Church boundaries were drawn.
DC doesn’t have counties (or congressional representation) because it’s geographically small and also a territory, not a state. (Though it’s got more people than Wyoming or Vermont, everyone pays federal taxes, etc. so it really should have Representatives and Senators if “no taxation without representation” means anything.)
As I understand it, Alaska has “boroughs” near cities that sort of serve a similar function but much of the state is (or was) largely unpopulated so there will be a borough in the core settlement that acts like a county. Then, there’s lots of private, federal, and state lands that aren’t really inhabited and aren’t governed by the borough anyway.
Louisiana and DC don’t have counties.
Edit: Alaska too, apparently. But I’ve never been there.
As someone who lives in the U.S. but has never lived in a county, I agree. Only I should get fighter jets and billions of dollars in free money.
Maybe his politics are complicated. Did y’all consider that? That a white South African industrialist who dabbles in eugenics, treats employees like shit, and thinks catturd2 is funny might be a complex enigma?
Did you watch the press conference? He misspoke a few times but he had a command of the facts and it seemed fine. It was more coherent than any speech Trump has given since he started losing it.
I’m not at all happy we’re choosing between people whose brains are turning to mush but Biden’s press conference was normal enough. He answered the questions and knew policy details.
There’s a black and white photo of her as a whole adult at JFK’s inaugural ball. Maybe she should sit this one out. If her brain isn’t decaying due to age, it definitely is from spending her whole life in politics. (Her dad was mayor of Baltimore so “whole life” isn’t even hyperbole.)
I think everyone has sufficient evidence to arrest Clarence Thomas. I’m not even a lawyer and I think I could get a conviction on tax fraud for the tour bus loan that got forgiven.
JD Vance is a terrible person but it would be funny to see Marco Rubio change his address just to not get picked.
Gender affirming surgeries are given to cis minors all the time. We just call it plastic surgery.
It’s an important story! But The NY Times has beclowned itself by trying to create a narrative instead of just covering it. There were well over 200 articles and 99% were gossip or fanfiction masquerading as news stories. That’s an editorial decision, not a news-based one. They even made a whole graphic counting which Democrats have defected. (It was 6 house members and 0 Senators and governors.)
It kind of reminded me of when they kept writing articles saying the president of MIT still hasn’t resigned even though that was an utterly unimportant story. Just a bunch of articles about nothing happening.
Truthometer? We don’t use the metric system here. How many Pinocchios with pants on fire does that equal?
People “unskewing” the polls is a tradition as old as polls, I’m sure.
Believe me, no one is burying their heads in the sand. The NY Times just spent like two weeks covering nothing but Biden’s age. I had to scroll down like 1500px to find the fucking French election results and I’m not even sure they bothered to send someone to cover the hurricane that wrecked multiple countries and hit one of the most populous regions of the country.
“Democrats in disarray” is really the only story American political journalists know how to write. If Biden wins in November, within a week there will be an article saying it’s bad for Democrats.
Other people have mentioned phone apps so I’ll add that I got a Garmin device for hiking and it’s got road navigation. It’s better in some cases because the maps are downloaded so if you’re somewhere without service, it can still do navigation.
Obviously, they’re meant to supplement a phone for off-grid stuff like hiking, boating, etc. but the road directions seem perfectly fine. It knows where gas stations are. And some of their models are car-only so I guess they’re also used by drivers in areas with spotty phone coverage.
The downside is, obviously, that you have to update the maps and there’s no traffic details. But I just thought I’d mention it as an option. (You also don’t have to use their maps if you prefer OpenStreetMaps or whatever.)
JD Vance went to Yale Law; of course he won’t choose something over power. I mean, Thomas and Alito both went there. Their alumni page on Wikipedia has a “Law and Government” section and includes several people we know went to Epstein Island. Anyone who comes out of Yale Law with a single principle got it somewhere else.
