Another Josh Smith

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

I'm sure the opportunity to vote some people out of office 11 months after their insurance premiums become unaffordable will make people feel so much better about the unaffordable insurance premiums.

Mike Johnson has flat out said he's not going to bring the House back into session until the government reopens. Stated differently, he's not going to let the House vote on anything from the Senate

Charlie Brown with Lucy holding the football. It says we'll vote on the ACA subsidies in December

So much for Trump stadium

It's pretty clear that Gunn does not like Luthor or think that there's much of anything admirable about him. Anything positive about the character is attributable solely to Hoult's performance

Consumer sentiment is bad because, outside of helping students cheat and making lazy lawyers look dumb, there's no practical use for AI. The novelty of AI generated images wore off fast. And now people's energy bills are going to go up to feed this thing that doesn't anything

I'd wager that nearly every billionaire who threatened to leave the city if Mamdani won was bluffing, especially if they make their money in the city

At this point, it would be breaking news to learn that a major Christian denomination in America hasn't been covering up decades of child sexual abuse

It sounds like it's designed to make sure records aren't kept. People will either miss texts while taking screen caps, forget to do it, "forget" to do it, or just not bother because it's a pain in the ass

So, of course, Tesla decided to approve giving the guy who spearheaded it a compensation package worth $1 Trillion. But rest assured. It's not about the money, but so Elon can have influence over a "robot army"

All the more reason to work to make sure that Tesla goes out of business

It has to feature onion and mustard

Probably, but he's also probably trying to appease the crybaby in chief to keep him from screwing up next year's World Cup

Things are going great for the DoJ in DC

That's why energy and oil companies are so dead set against renewable energy: their profits disappear

Spydere Man, Spydere Man
Doth al things a spydere kan
Sondry webbes he kan weaven
Thieves lyke flyes he kan cacchen
Lo! anon cometh Spydere Man

I have more faith in the Gremlins' ability to run government than the ghouls currently operating the levers of power

The only Christians they want to protect, though, are those belonging to right-wing evangelical groups that use religion to justify this worldview. Anytime a Christian leader (like the Pope or Bishop Budde) quote the Bible to advocate for mercy and compassion, the right denounces them

Sounds like a description of Trump. He didn't deliver on the things he promised to lure people to vote for (lowering prices), but the things he is delivering on (tariffs, immigration raids, etc) is to everyone's detriment.
Every accusation is a confession with these people

Yes, but that require Trump to (implicitly) admit he failed to lower prices, and Trump is incapable of admitting that he ever failed or did anything wrong

Yes, rather than work with Democrats to continue ACA subsidies, Republicans must instead enshrine single party rule in the Senate to ensure that health care costs remain unaffordable. I'm sure that will go over well in an election year

Now if only other aging, out-of-touch centrist Democrats would follow suit

Steve has to pay his bar tab somehow

That explains why he's repeated saying " affordability" like a toddler who learned a swear

If people weren't expecting election interference from Trump and Republicans before this week's election results, they better expect it now

The guard is named Rocco, or something similar

Being opposed to Trump is the bare minimum for Democrats. They also need to sell an affirmative vision for what they want to do and what that's good. And, it should go without saying, that vision shouldn't be a return to the pre-Trump status quo

The "backlash" was from a bunch of online trolls who don't think games should feature playable characters that aren't white men. I hear there was a similar "backlash" to Ghost of Yotei, but it didn't seem to get any traction because the game is great and the publisher didn't engage

This was the BEST movie of 2024 and if you didn't see it in theaters then you may now have another opportunity 😁 I recommend if you can you do so 👍
