JD Vance would be Trump without the insane tariffs. They would prefer President Vance.

They only hold onto Trump because Trump is the Cult Leader and Vance is terrible at making up his own fake outrage.

Also, if "the 25th" was activated, Vance would be Acting President. It's not a good event.

Remember, for every successful meme creation, there are a hundred attempts where the meme fails to take off.

...is what I tell my timid self whenever I think I might have found a meme idea and do nothing about it. 🫀

FROM THE MANGER TO THE CROSS (1912) was among the first American feature-length films and possibly the first US feature epic. It was shot on location, director Sidney Olcott and screenwriter Gene Gauntier (who also played Mary) were supposed to deliver short films but came back with five reels.

So basically the point of RFK Jr’s video was to promote improved health outcomes by encouraging men to ride a stationary bike in a sauna shirtless in jeans while your male friend does pushups next to you in shorts before you jump into a hot tub together?

RfK Jr. jumping into the ice bath in blue jeans has me suspecting he's in that hot tub wearing blue jeans.

We never see his legs, like he's an action figure with blue jeans fused to his legs.

PLEASE don't send me pictures of his bare legs, this was not a request. Just confirm or deny bare legs. 🫣

A pretty consistent stereotype of the UK, as told to me by people living in the UK, is that "another month of rain" is as newsworthy as "Sun Rose In East Again Today." πŸ€ͺ

I imagine, like most stereotypes, that the UK gets more sun than that, but UKers still seem to have more jumpers than Tshirts.

I would probably have to look very closely to find national election data and in particular a Democrat violating election law in a national election.

I suspect your "moron" comment would be contextually accurate with national elections, though again I haven't explored the whole article.

In any case, the link was about convictions in general with regard to all elections.

An example from the link reveals two municipal election violations from a Democrat, in which Republican deception doesn't occur. Yes, not national.

So we've been in agreement the whole time.

I was talking about Republicans committing voter fraud from the beginning. I was merely adding context missing from your "moron" comment, that Democratic folks are doing it too.

I'm a Democrat, we like context in the form of all the facts.

I agree that President Trump is claiming authority over the US election system not granted to the US Executive Branch by the US Constitution.

The main point being that there's no mechanism for Trump to implement any of this.

Voting Democratic is required. Voting Republican doesn't get those results.

Sen Al Franken, D-Minnesota, was drummed out of office by Democrats for the appearance of impropriety. Democrats will punish everyone caught being naughty, even Democrats.

Apologies, left out the 170 for lack of space. The 170 was only really required for the point that election fraud is rare (which I agree with), not the point that election fraud is a bit more spread out over the political spectrum.

I'm saying that absolute statements are rarely correct outside of mathematics.

Are quite a lot of Republicans committing quite a lot of voter fraud? Yes.

Because (prior to Trump) having gone to the Moon, we no longer had to prove to the world we were leaders in science and technology.

Granted, now (after Trump) we have to go back to the Moon to prove to the world we can still be leaders in science and technology.

This is what Kristi Noem said when this incident happened: β€œWhat we saw last night in Minneapolis was an attempted murder of federal law enforcement.”

He'd have to somehow convince Congress--House and Senate--to pull a federal highway funds level of bribery to the states, to get all of them to agree to pass their own laws granting federal government power over their elections.

The highway funds example was just about highway speed limits.

No, not even half of it.

"39.4% of those convicted were Democrats, 41.1% were Republicans, while the remainder were Independent, nonpartisan, or unaffiliated."

Voter fraud is an activity members of a wide range of political parties aspire to commit.

Not even close. A lot, sure, but not 99%.

The US Constitution does not contain an explicitly protected right to vote, mostly due to the states being allowed to manage elections.

This is the same reason why Trump can't nationalize elections.
