The wet pavement is splendid.

That was my first thought! My second was “Wait… who?” Had to Google it to get it.

This is humor at its finest.

I feel as though we’re supposed to be asking why Texas didn’t do more to prevent this flooding, and blame Greg Abbot for it. /s

Translation: in Arkansas, they value obedient compliance and complicity over revolution against oppression.

NPO and through donations like Wikipedia. No advertising.

With every new appointment I’m pretty sure he only ran for office to quash all the litigation against him.

It’s interesting the perspectives I see here. There’s a lot of “capitalism by default” thinking. The truth is, eventually no humans will work in the traditional sense, and no one will have want for anything they can’t have.

Wonder what a child born to Donald Trump and Clarence Thomas would look like?

Actually I’m speaking the conventional wisdom of about 1935. There are just still too many people across every generation that will convince themselves they’ve chosen not to vote for a particular candidate on policy issues, when in truth it’s the candidate’s gender or ethnic background.

The amount of adoration for AOC that I have is immeasurable and I would vote for her at any level of government office.

The sad reality is that unless the Democratic Party can find a 45-55 year old white guy with a charismatic personality and a milquetoast agenda, they’ll never get in.

Study strengthens link between shingles vaccine and lower dementia risk A new analysis of a vaccination program in Wales found that the shingles vaccine appeared to lower new dementia diagnoses by 20% — more than any other known intervention.

HAHAHAHA I lol’d

I’m not certain that’s always true. I’ve seen a few big production proposals, and the askee made it very clear for a very long period prior that the answer was always going to be yes.

Purely anecdotal, but the possibility of rejection in front of many people would keep most from trying to ambush.

Trump: “Pardon?”
U.S. Government: “Of course!”
Boasberg: “<deep sigh>”

The thing is…

The grandstanding and showmanship of these bizarre and anti-American claims against Federal judges is doing what it needs to do regardless.

That is, to convince the average clueless American that what they are claiming makes legal and constitutional sense. Faux legitimacy.

Clearly Michael & Kyle must not have been Democrats from ~1978-~1992.

This sort of reminds me of how the sloped forehead, knuckle-dragging, mouth breathing bullies behaved in grade school when they realized a lot of people think Timmy is cool.

But they are impossible to tell apart other than guessing based on size, so you can call it either and be correct. Judging by its size I’d guess it’s a one-salt steelhead and not a rainbow.

Rainbow trout and steelhead are the same fish. What you call it depends on where you live and how big it is. In Oregon, IIRC, any Rainbow over 16” is considered Steelhead, and requires a different license and limit.

Voters Were Right About the Economy. The Data Was Wrong. Here’s why unemployment is higher, wages are lower and growth less robust than government statistics suggest.

Congressional Republicans are responsible for what happens next. Don’t lose sight of that. Blaming Democrats is victim blaming.

Capitalism is the antithesis of conscientious and rational discourse.

Cheap money and expensive tariffs are a ticket to inflation.

Private Equity

Although now they can’t deny the consequences of the CR. They can’t blame Democrats for the “shutdown that never happened.”

The impact of what just passed is going to crush Trump’s base.

You can’t save people from themselves.

I get it.

But if Democrats fight Republicans at all, every bad thing that happens will be blamed on Democrats. The only way out seems to be capitulation, making damn sure Republican voters know who’s fault the poop theater is.

We’re screwed.

It’s time for Democrats to stop trying to protect their constituents from the results of their votes. They should vote with MAGA policy on everything.

It’s a bitter pill, but one that must be swallowed. Lest they be blamed for everything Trump does that fails.

230 isn’t without issues.

People and entities which promote false or misleading information, outright disinformation, need to be held to account.

They should be held civilly and criminally liable without a burden of proof of direct harm.
