Joe Biden is in Delaware dying of cancer and hasn’t been president in two years. Do the idiots who watch Fox still believe this? Because polling indicates literally no one else does.

The problem with the 21st century is that all of these guys never have to say this kind of shit to more than 3 people in a restaurant or a bar. This is like saying Greg Ostertag was the greatest basketball player of all time. People will fight you for that

For what it’s worth, I know what the board meant, but they should say it more precisely. Not “mentally ill” but “too ill to care” Because “mentally ill” is actually a very broad category of people who aren’t all incapacitated or prone to violence, and deserve to keep their humanity regardless

There’s really no story here, but actually including the retaliation claim in the headline is kind of reporting that as a fact and not as an opinion, as few people know the difference.

Conflating Jewish people and a foreign administration. Like saying American Italians could only be safe if we worshipped Mussolini. Absurd and conniving, and makes us ALL more unsafe among these regimes. Not just stupid and silly. Monstrous.

Style note: they’re truck side guards. Not “side guards”. It’s not a turn of phrase, euphemism or special jargon. It’s just side guards. Anything preventing a strict side guard requirement in NYC for all such trucks needs to be addressed immediately. (E.g. is there dumb federal stuff in the way?)

I'm actually way okay with people saying Taylor Swift has been bad for music because in a lot of ways she has been. The issue is Todd Rundgren didn't just say she ruined music, he said girls did. Also it's always about how "shallow her music is" and not that she literally props up bad parts of the

Every study of voter fraud has shown that it’s statistically nonexistent. But the Republican Party continues to spread the outright lie that it’s rampant, widespread, out of control, and we need new laws to stop it. It’s all bullshit.

This is why more women don't come forward, and why more rapists aren't jailed. Because mostly-male cops and prosecutors find it more believable that a 20-yr-old would want to have sex with a room full of fraternity brothers than accept she was raped. What ever happened to common fucking sense?

Whatever smokescreen she wants to put up, this is the same thing Frank Seddio did for her, the same thing Vito Lopez did for him, and on and on. It's appointing your successor. The voters spoke in June and they spoke based on the rules that existed at the time. That's 42 elected DLs voting 4 chair.

This is not true! At all! Will a single day go by without the New York Times printing something that's not only not supported by the facts of the story but in fact refuted!?

In January, Mr. Trump sent U.S. commandos to remove Mr. Maduro
from power. He then moved to bring Venezuela‚Äôs riches under American
control. It was a gamble that investment would bring reform, and not
the other way around.

The other problem with extrapolating from data that is likely to only count convictions and confirmations of SA - there’s a few law enforcement reasons why pursuits/investigations lean toward repeat offenders. This would make them overrepresented in the data. Their frequency is a mirage.

I don’t think this should be the public strategy for respecting women’s bodies. Sure, stopping the predator-types is a desired outcome. But the related idea is wishful cop thinking. So much SA is “long tail” - guys alone with a partner who cross clear boundaries, but authorities ignore it.

This is from Council Member Virginia Maloney*, the bill/measures are bicycle restrictions, and the “extremist” organization is Transportation Alternatives This is one of the only public statements I’ve seen her make since entering office in January. She got into politics running on her mom’s name

So I am pressing ahead to support my bill and many other of the measures being considered on Wednesday, because I entered public service to support New Yorkers, not special interest advocacy organizations arguing extremist positions.
