Charlie Board @chboar.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I don't think Schumer could even get away with holding hearings after what McConnell pulled - the new rule is only nominees of the same party get hearings. I honestly believe that line will hold so....51. 020

Charlie Board @chboar.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Even A rated polls have outliers. Pretty often by laws of chance. And this one has an MoE of 4.4 so it might even be showing Dems up 5.4 Have fun supporting the pedophiles in NOvember 110

Charlie Board @chboar.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Yes, let;'s cherry-pick one single outlier poll instead of looking at all of them together! 120
Charlie Board @chboar.bsky.social · 03/06/2026But since Trump won by 3 a 10 point swing is just D+7 in the vote. If we're already at D+4.5 with five months to go.....? 000
Charlie Board @chboar.bsky.social · 03/06/2026I'm confused. Trump won here by 3 so a generic ballot margin of D+4 *already* implies a SEVEN point shift from 2024, right? Is this tool saying we're already favorites to take the state house? That sounds both great and wildly unfeasible.. what am i missing? 000
Charlie Board @chboar.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Thanks for the link - This is going to cost me soooo many hours. First set of spins - 72-10! 000

Charlie Board @chboar.bsky.social · 02/06/2026Imagine that the intent of your sentence is to state that it IS an MLK quote: As Martin Luther King once said .. "America.. Why don't you be true to the words you wrote on Paper?". The '?' is part of the quote so goes within, but your statement is not a question and needs a '.' delimiter outside! 110
Charlie Board @chboar.bsky.social · 02/06/2026No, it's: "America.. Why don't you be true to the words you wrote on Paper?". As better illustrated by: 'As MLK once said: "America.. Why don't you be true to the words you wrote on Paper?".' The question mark is part of the quote. The period ends the sentence containing the quote 010
Charlie Board @chboar.bsky.social · 30/05/2026"Punctuation inside the quote mark."........ ......is illogical barbarism! Carry on. 250
Charlie Board @chboar.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Jesus Christ.

Charlie Board @chboar.bsky.social · 18/05/2026???? The comment I was responding to was talking about work/drudgery and literally said "they invented agriculture and civilization ***to escape it***" That's how I read it. Maybe I missed something. 000
Charlie Board @chboar.bsky.social · 16/05/2026I'm reasonably certain that that the earliest agricultural societies had to devote MORE time to feeding themselves than hunter/gathers did. There were varied reasons for the transition but escaping work was clearly not one of them. 190

It's not as simple as Johnson could refuse members. But there is real potential for mischief or worse. Callais has appreciably increased the danger. So here's what they might try, and how to fight it:theunpopulist.netThe VRA Ruling Might Have Handed Republicans a Weapon to Attempt a Jan. 6-style Midterm CoupAn outlandish scenario to refuse to seat newly elected blue state representatives just became more plausible 25595235
Charlie Board @chboar.bsky.social · 11/05/2026I get the despair, but.... Republicans usually 'find those ways' in deep red states where they have 10-20 point margins of support to (not) worry about. This was literally a 51-48 issue. it's kind of wrecklessly suicidal to 'go nuclear' on a 50-50 issue just months before an election. 000
Charlie Board @chboar.bsky.social · 10/05/2026I'd also note that the existence of 'interest'; is NOT a demonstration that a system is designed around endless growth forever. I have concerns about how compatible our current economy is with ecological & resource limits......but cartoonish arguments like this are not real concerns. 010
Charlie Board @chboar.bsky.social · 10/05/2026I mean, insecurity and poverty are both many orders of magnitude lower than they were before the widespread adoption of......'interest rates' THat's not mean as a defense of *actual* usury, but just a straight up factual observation. 270

Charlie Board @chboar.bsky.social · 30/04/2026How closely do you think the irreducible 'lived experience' of your average member of Congress is to that of an average constituent? Surely we don't want policy based on THEIR 'lived experience' .....and they can ONLY make it based on YOURS if you can measure and quantify your experiences. 000
