I don’t think anyone seriously expects Biden to resign over this, but there is still a chance he’ll announce that he’s no longer seeking reelection, like LBJ in 68.

Right? I guess all the good names where already taken
The Splurge
The typical news publication is written at a sixth grade reading level. Do with this information what you will.
A part of me hopes they fine him $130k. Fining him the exact amount he paid Stormy Daniels somehow feels like an even bigger “fuck you” than the maximum possible financial penalty.
Luckily for America, Trump has less money than ever!

I love how he waited until the day after Trump’s conviction to announce this, when the news cycle is still too busy covering Trump to spend any time on a covering it.
Too cowardly to do this when people are actually paying attention, which really is the perfect summary of his career in politics.
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Stallman, is in fact, GNU/Stallman, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Stallman. Stallman is not a man unto himself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
I think in the end it all comes down to putting power back into the hands of regulators — power that corporate America has been slowly and steadily eroding for the last 40 years.
A more powerful regulatory state could start enforcing the anti-trust laws we already have on the books by breaking up the massive tech monopolies. Once that’s done, new regulations and new legislation against anti-consumer practices are needed, but those will only work if the punishments scale high enough to work as an actual deterrent against the multi-billion dollar tech giants.
Of course, we’d also need massive, MASSIVE campaign finance and lobbying reforms so that monied interested aren’t able to sabotage the system all over again.
Or we could just bring back the guillotine… that would probably do the trick too.
The bill doesn’t really “cancel” any debt, it establishes a grant fund with tax money and allows people to apply for grants they then use to pay off their medical debts.
Rather than telling the debt holders to pound sand, the federal government will front you the cash to pay the debt holder.
Sure, because he’s been paid in stock options. It’s not like the guy has been working for free.
Then why is he asking shareholders to approve a $56 billion personal pay package? Seems kinda steep for a guy who isn’t really present…
Elon Musk, the CEO of company, has next to nothing to do with Tesla?
Is this why Elon is working so hard to run Tesla into the ground? 5d chess, something something…
Well, you would have to be a little bit suicidal to blow the whistle on Boeing now, after seeing what happened to the last two guys…
She was last year’s honoree for the award.
Believe it or not, McConnell’s home state of Kentucky currently has a Democratic governor, so if McConnell vacated his seat, the governor would appoint a Democrat to fill it until a special election could be held. No way in hell a guy like Mitch would allow something like that to happen while he’s still drawing breath.
Being in debt can make it very difficult (if not impossible) to get national security clearance for that very reason.
Unfortunately, the President’s clearance is automatic and absolute…
The chances of the DNC telling Biden to take a hike are exactly zero, and no one should take that possibility seriously (because it’s stupid).
What may yet happen is Biden deciding to step aside voluntarily, in which case the fact that he won the primary is meaningless; the party can’t nominate a candidate who refuses to accept that nomination.
