Honestly, the only problem I really have with Biden is superficial, and it’s mostly because most other people are superficial.

This election can only be won by breaking apathy. That takes a confident and strong speaker. Apathetic voters don’t watch the news every day. They don’t know what Biden is up to. But debates are like the Superbowl of politics, and even is they don’t watch the whole game, they won’t be able to avoid the highlights.

That performance did not inspire confidence. He was meek and paled next to Trump’s booming confident voice. Doesn’t matter that he was spewing shit, he sounded good doing it.

Could you imagine Obama doing that? Or Bill Clinton? Hell no. Those guys were popular because they had confidence. They oozed it, but not at the point where they appear arrogant.

Bidens strategy should have been to turn off his speaker whenever Trump talked and just guessing what he said and rebutting that. You can’t counter his every point, it takes far more work to dismantle a lie than it is to make one.

I know Biden is smart, I know he’s a skilled politician and I know that he’s got a hell of a staff and cabinet. And ultimately that’s really the biggest criteria for an administration.

I wouldn’t mind him tapping out and calling in a pitch hitter though. A stronger and more confident candidate, with Bidens endorsement, could take it. Bernie, but younger. Obama, but white (anything else is sadly a non-starter for too many purple states). Bill, but less pervy. That’s what will win the election.

No, you’re a moron for having a moronic opinion.

Trump had as many appointments because McConnells Senate held up hearing Garlands nomination (not to mention a record number of lower court appointments). And then rushed in Gorsuch. And then when RBG died even closer to an election, they showed their hypocrisy with Barrett.

And the entire point of Project 2025 is to replace a metric shitton of non-political merit-based federal jobs with political appointments so he can staff them full of cronies and circumvent checks and balances that way. Congress won’t outlaw hormonal birth control? No worries, FDA can do that. Unitary Executive Theory.

They do what they want, when they want, until somebody stops them. And now, legally, nobody can stop them. Not without using the monkeys paw that this court just handed Biden.

Yes, because impeachment worked so well the last two times.

It’s tough for the Democrats, to be just progressive enough as to not piss off too many red/purple states.

Likely the nuclear option for a lame duck Biden.

Fucking Brilliant. Biden could just pull out the ol’ uno reverse right now.

George Bush doesn’t care about black people.

Have you seen the Republican Congress?

Trying to get anything through them is like preschoolers playing Red Rover against the New England Patriots.

I’m not saying they don’t try. It’s important to try, as long as they immediately call out the opposition at any and every opportunity. And loud. But if it comes from a D, fat chance actually getting it passed.

It’s okay, I get my lefts and my rights confused when my head is up my ass, too.

This is all easily remedied. Biden just needs to put out a bounty on Trump’s head. Totally legal move.

FL would’ve been a landslide and the courts wouldn’t have even been asked if the greens voted for Gore.

Not like they used to, mostly. They just replaced “contract” with “equipment payment plan”. Because $50/mo for 24 months is easier for a consumer to swallow than a lump payment of $1200, especially when the carrier is giving you a $10 or $20 (or more) “discount” on the phone.

But as long as the EPP is active, the phone is locked to that carrier. And I think that’s fair. No different than the bank holding the title while you finance a car.

The thing is that the plans that have these equipment deals are significantly more expensive than others. Namely big name plans like TMo or Verizon, compared to MVNO plans like Mint or Visible. So you end up paying more for the plan because you get “a deal” on your phone (but still end up ultimately paying more).

I’d actually been wanting to check them out, but now that I have Nebula, nobody is plugging their affiliate links.

That’s exactly it.

The lies in MSM aren’t what they say, it’s what they don’t say.

The best place to see this is at Planet Fitness, or similar place with TVs constantly tuned to all the major outlets. Watch them all at once and observe what each isn’t saying.

System76!

You mean to tell me, three days a week, they have to:

• wake up extra hours early
• pack a lunch or plan to pay for one
• put on hard pants
• drive their own vehicle in traffic, with their own gas and wear/tear
• pay for their own parking.
• do the exact same work in their designated space
• drive back home in traffic 9 hours later

All for the same pay and several hours away from my family, home, or bed?

No fucking thanks.

Going remote was the best fucking raise I ever got, and it didn’t cost them a dime.
