Didn’t Biden call the dude and enemy of the state on a few occasions?
Impeachment… Colluding with enemies of the state…
I’m being facetious of course, I’d rather they break the tradition of trying to impeach every president on their way out the door, but still, how you gonna have a meeting with someone you yourself called an enemy of the state?
‘I’ve got to do this on my own,’" she said last September. “Because if I take the drug, that’s the easy way out.”
Apparently there’s a perception that it matters… You’ll see it with smoking cessation too. Gotta do shit the absolute hardest way possible or you’re somehow “cheating”…
Wouldn’t want people to have taken the easy way to not fucking dying :/
There were others who changed sports as well… Fosbury didn’t cause the Olympic committee to implement any bans, which is to say that others arguably attempted much larger changes…
He simply tried something way the hell off the beaten path and it caused people to think differently about how to go about doing their thing.
Jimi wasn’t even the only revolutionary influence in his time, you could argue chuck berry had more influence at the time, you could argue Charlie christian had more influence at sorta the same time, you could argue Zeppelin, Sabbath, the Beach boys…
Nobody came crashing into music from deep left field like Hendrix did though, just like nobody came into the Olympics from deep left field the way fosbury did (I’d argue for korbut, but nobody followed her lead due to pretty much everything she did getting banned).
I get what you mean and don’t disagree, but I did say I was speaking to a specific context ;)
Hendrix. Hendrix is the fosbury of music. Dude went off in his own direction in both technical and compositional terms, and a lot of people followed.
There’s solid points in the comments, but I feel like we’re talking about a single individual ignoring convention here, and there’s really only one answer in that context :)
Attachment to either party is waning among younger voters. A plurality (41%) of them call themselves independents.
I swear this is a generational thing. Silent Gen were rebellious bastards, boomers were not, gen x are rebellious bastards, millennials are not, gen z going with being rebellious bastards totally checks out .
My old gen x ass is 100% with you my little dudes/dudettes… Gotta fight for your right to party ;)
Regardless of where you stand on the matter of trump-putin, this has been the narrative for almost a decade, so trotting it back out kinda seems a little tired.
It’s also a little silly that even with all the dragging this shit back out to beat a dead ass horse, there’s zero mention of trump, in an interview, claiming he’d end the Russia Ukraine issue overnight… I’d personally say that’s of much greater relevance than trying to subtly imply financial relations or even the little hint of blackmail she went for.
There’s only one way you end that shit overnight… You hand Ukraine over to Russia.
There’s plenty of people that wouldn’t vote for that… You wanna talk trump-putin in an attempt to influence votes, that’s the sound bite ya want.
the Katz Group alleges that it shouldn’t have to make the donation because Boyle Street didn’t try hard enough to fundraise on its own.
They clearly did try hard enough if Katz promised them five million bucks… Lol…
I vape in the shower every morning. I’ve also dropped it a bajillion times, including dropping it while on a motorcycle doing 60mph or so. Still works just fine :)
Federal prosecutors are asking a judge to deny a Jan. 6 rioter’s request to delay his sentencing, arguing that the defendant may be seeking to remain incarcerated.
That is an absurd argument. Got a very “don’t throw me I the briar patch” vibe to it, like he’s playing on the political aspect to get thrown out of jail…
They wouldn’t be conscious for more than two or three minutes, so the heat and causticity wouldn’t matter much.
I’d say that it’s not a good path to tread to have courts deciding who can and can’t be on the ballot, however, in this particular case, it was put to the voters, and these guys knew the rule when they broke it, so c’est la vie
As for their argument, I’d say go with it… Let them run, let them get elected, then bar them for the term… That’s actually how the wording works out… Theyre correct that they can technically run, but it’s pretty specific about being unable to seve the term.
Fuck around and let a district go unrepresented for a term because legislators wanna play the “well ackshually” game, and the voters will sort that shit right out.
The risk of anything whatsoever happening to any given individual from nuclear is miniscule compared to the very real risk to literally everyone everywhere posed by coal and gas power…
We’re all on a runaway train barreling towards catastrophe, and you’re essentially saying the bathroom needs a floor mat so someone doesn’t slip and fall. That’s about how the risks compare
I believe in that quantity it’s spelled and pronounced “cheddah”…
Fuckin bullshit… If you or I, any normal citizen, wins a punitive judgement, the courts will do absolutely fuck all to collect it for you.
This should be the standard for ALL damages imposed by ALL courts for * everyone*, not just a special case because it’s everyone’s favorite fucking oompah loompah.
Wildly untenable concept in modern society…
I’m sure it would work great in a video game or something, but In the real world, this shit goes crony AF guaranteed.
We don’t measure aptitude or ability in our society, we absolutely suck at it. A person’s ability is measured by what pedigree they purchased at degrees R us, or worse, by how articulate and verbose they were when typing a resume. Occasionally, ability is measured by how well someone likes a person even…
Competence is valued in a very select few enterprises. Trades, IT, and at higher echelons, math nerds… That’s about it…
They aren’t actually doing much… This is something they did a while ago, they’re just trotting it out and showing it off because there isn’t anything current going on.
Biden deserves some political reward for this good news, given that Donald Trump and many in his party…
Fucking election year, everybody fire up the spin. I hate politics :/
This is wildly better than whatever shit the repub propaganda machine is gonna fart out though, so I reckon I’ll be avoiding Facebook and YouTube for a bit ;)
…and cue a 4,000% markup on what an MRI costs.
Don’t worry though, I’m sure the price will go back down once the artificial shortage that generated it is addressed (chuckle)
It’s “we” if I’m a Republican…
I’m not, but I’m not a Democrat either
I think that’s a little too advanced for Biden, but it wouldn’t surprise me that hear a staffer suggested exactly that… Don’t think much of Biden, but the current white house is doing damned well IMHO.
I do sincerely hope trump opts out. None of his fan base is going to be affected in the slightest either way, because cult, but trump will think he’s god gift for participating, and his head is already way too fucking big.
