You’re not wrong, but we don’t have the luxury of only making decisions based on rationality. Sometimes you need to trust your intuition and fix the repercussions of those decisions with more rationally sound decisions when/if they backfire.

Personally, I’d rather have dealt with the blowback of Donald Trump’s corpse rotting in a shallow grave than having to deal with where we’re at currently.

How much stuff have the republicans already blamed democrats for?

A lot. But they can literally never back up any of their claims.

Do you think that the MAGA base wouldn’t execute Biden for his ‘crimes’ in Ukraine?

Desire to? Yeah, I’d assume so. They tried to overthrow the government and murder Democratic leadership once already. Be capable of? No.

My prediction is that in much the same way Italy and Germany unified after the deaths of their respective far right leaders, America would eventually move on and become more unified as well. Maga is a cult of personality with Trump as the sole proprietor. When he goes, there’d likely be a power vacuum too big to fill and the cult fractures into multiple small factions that eventually lose popularity. Mayyybe one or two starts to gain traction, but they’re much easier to deal with than the inertia Maga has right now.

People are capable of understanding context. Not that you’re totally wrong, but Biden trying and executing Trump for treasonous crimes isn’t the same as Putin torturing and poisoning Navalny in a Siberian prison camp.

Why normalize it? She’s from The Atlantic. Its not like she’s a Breitbart reporter? This should be no different than the White House booting BBC reporters out of the press pool for their press conferences.

Elaine Godfrey, a staff writer covering national politics for the outlet, was wearing her press badge identifying who she was and had “attempted to join a closed-door press scrum with the congresswoman that was open to the other reporters at the rally,”

Other reporters being there is where the issue lies.

And this is why Talarico is the better candidate. Not because he’s more electable as a white christian man, but because he’s more measured and understands how to handle contentious reporters or leading questions. Maybe he and his team have also thrown out journalists at their events, but I’d wager against it.

Oh, I didn’t mean to dox you and your family 😅 very cool! Glad you get to have fun with them!

Let me break the news for you bud. We’re already facing a wide open constitutional crisis. The 1st amendment has been broken in hundreds of instances along with the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th. Alex Pretti was murdered for exercising his 2nd amendment. Ordering federal enforcement agencies into specific states/cities breaks the 10th. Trying to end birth right citizenship broke the 14th. He’s currently planning to break the 15th with a federal seizure of voting processes via a drafted executive order declaring a national state of emergency. The 19th is under attack by proof of identity voting laws that deny some women the right to vote based on mismatched identification between their birth certificate and state IDs with name changes from marriage. Its an open secret that he will push for a third term which would break the 20th and 22nd in addition to already attempting to break the 20th on Jan 6, 2020. And Voter ID laws constitute breaking the 24th.

So to summarize, that’s 9 that he’s already broken by my count and 4 he’s actively trying to break. That’s 13 of 27 and 7 of the original 10.

1 (broken) 2 (broken) 4 (broken) 5 (broken) 6 (broken) 8 (broken) 10 (broken) 14 (broken) 15 19 20 (broken) 22 24

There’s something silly about describing a NSFW intance’s shut down as untimely lol. As if it could have had a more timely death. Not to criticize the wording in any way, it just gave me a chuckle.

Any idea what kind of bird they are?

And the whole forcibly raping a 13 year old girl while she was tied down thing.

That butt looks like every overweight person’s butt ive ever seen lol

I wouldn’t put much weight in the results of this poll. Its only 369 voters with a variance of +/-5.1 points. So even using the polls own reliability variation, the actual vote could end up being 50.9% in favor of Crockett to 49.1% in favor of Talarico.

It also somehow found that seniors and non-college educated voters prefer the energetic young black woman to a reserved white christian man born in Texas to a Baptist preacher. Color me surprised, but that seems like an anomaly in historical poll data going back hundreds of years.

1. The US currently aligned with Russia.
2. That would risk WWIII even if we weren’t.
3. No we shouldn’t be aligned with Russia, but that’s the dumb timeline we find ourselves to be in right now.

Because sometimes its better to not ask if you can or should and instead try. It was obviously popular enough that it still has a soft spot in many tech enthusiasts’ minds. And arguably its the element of any OS that you encounter the most. Going from your home computer to even just a computer at the public library, one thing was almost guaranteed to be the same and that’s the desktop background.So why not make it really high quality? They had no idea how far resolution would come and what would end up being sufficient, but because of their decision, even now people seek out that image for their desktops.

I can’t imagine the hell he’s been through.

instead scheduling an evidentiary hearing on a pending question before the court: whether Abrego is the target of a “selective and vindictive prosecution” by the Trump administration.

The question should be what he should receive for the documented selective and vindictive prosecution by the Trump administration.

Your job sounds really cool! How likely is Alberta to be on fire again this year?

That’s what’s crazy to me, they survived the dot com crash and were so diversified that I have no idea how they stayed afloat. I would think that all of the combined expenses across all of their ventures without a true cash cow would sink them. Instead they survived and became the trash heap of consumer rights violations that they are.

You can’t really compare online book retailer Amazon to global online marketplace Amazon. Your underlying point is still mostly correct, but I would exclude the years that they were primarily focused on books. From my lived memory they didn’t really become the online retail juggernaut until a few years after the launch of Prime. Free shipping turned them into what it is today. So maybe the best comparison would be from like 2006-2016? Or maybe I’m wrong and the distinction isn’t necessary. Idk. I’m just trying to foster conversation
