I’m hoping for the first. But I fear it will take many blatantly awful things happening to counter all the indifference, ignorance, and complacency around us.

Because the hate is insurmountable otherwise.

Back to the Future on NES. All I remember is a series of pain in the ass mini games having little to nothing to do with the plot. One of them was called “That Sinking Feeling”, where Marty apparently had to platform his way out of his own stomach.

And E.T. of course, fuck that game.

Good for her. Now the voters she duped with fearmongering, most of whom haven’t gone over the curriculum themselves, probably won’t learn that she found nothing. They’ll probably credit her for eliminating what was never there.

Congress should have a couple thousand folks in it rather than 435

This is exactly it. This is what hamstrings the will of the majority and lends relevance to these lunatics we’re having to endure.

Many revere our founders, and I’m quite sure if they could comment on this mess they’d say something like “There are how many millions of citizens? And you stopped adding representatives at 435? That’s the problem. Why?”

Yeah based on the photos I see, it seems like lots of complicated fuckery goes into all her exposed parts.

It’s like the alt-1985 Biff reality came to pass.

Any reasonable person looking at these circumstances say 10, 15, 20 years ago would think 'No, that could never happen. He’d be barred from office, maybe even imprisoned."

And yet, here we are. This timeline, for the US anyway, deserves to be pruned.

A steady stream of people showing up daily with nothing, starting from scratch, is not a crisis to you?

What do we do with those who show up to find all the farm jobs in Idaho and other places are filled? Furthermore, do you condone the treatment refugees receive while working these jobs?

There are certainly racists opposed to letting in refugees, and a lot of them make policy on such things. But minimizing the long term need to assist the ongoing influx of people as purely racism isn’t productive. We have no solution for what to do with all of them.

Leaving drugs completely out of discussion, this is a humanitarian crisis. Do you think just opening up the border and letting whatever happens afterward work itself out is the answer?

Dusty Deevers, lmao. I went to elementary school with him for a few years. You don’t forget a name like that. Trust me, he comes by the dipshitidness honestly from growing up in that Oklahoma town. It’s isolated and simple, and at least 50 years behind the times. I wouldn’t call anyone from there wordly.

I was obviously just a kid at the time, but an opportunity came and I noped the hell out.

You’d think corporations would learn from these types of failures. But no, not as long as endless growth is the overall plan. The yes men will keep cutting corners at the expense of safety and quality.

Fuck sake Harris, why make fear your message? Republicans and supporters love that. Why give them what they want?

Voters need to hear about resolve. Strength through sanity. Looking past MAGA rather than making it the focus.

They’re showing less of the train wreck than before and denying him some of the free coverage to which he feels entitled. The tantrum was inevitable.

He should have been arrested, cuffed, and hauled off to be locked up like anyone else.

Instead everyone will continue to coddle him, emboldening his jackass followers as if this course is somehow favorable to consequences.

None of the Justices dissented on this decision. Does that suggest they all agree that Trump should exhaust the appeals before they make the final ruling?

No doubt, but the Rs have already politicized the highest officers by labeling those making policy with which they disagree woke. They pay close attention and vet the generals, and I believe they’ll use this practice to influence the promotions with their own hierarchy in mind–and plans once it’s in place.

I suspect this was Tuberville’s main goal with all this nonsense. The disruption to the defense department and nonstop cycle of distraction this year have been icing on the cake for him and MAGA at large.

Tuberville has achieved setting precedent that higher officer promotions don’t need unanimous Senate consent. Republicans will plan to use this to promote MAGA friendly officers in an effort to influence and control the military.

Leave it to the federal government to put the most informative piece at the END of the release, and then to botch that as well.

Maybe the voices will have him set fire to George W. Bush and then have a long walk into the Red Sea.

We need solid journalism. But with everyone conditioned for years now to crave outrage reporting, there’s not enough demand for unbiased facts.

My hope is that this is a temporary growing pain as we wrap our heads around having the internet in our lives.

Thanks for sharing this. Winter has so far been covid time in my area, so this is good timing.

So this fool compiled the report and submitted it to court. Then on cross examination, when asked to quote a line from his own report, he says “this is the first time I’ve seen this” to avoid perjury.

Will that throw a wrench into the inevitable appeal?
