I guess it’s spooky name season. Will I remember to change it in November?

Looking at this, I really have to wonder how much this "car" actually weighs. Could it do ANY of this while still passing crash safety tests? More importantly, why? What value does this actually serve? I could see some version being useful in traction control, but no one needs to drive up a wall.

I really don’t get your aversion to post a link to the actual wapo article, but regardless. He didn’t take the MoCA test because there was no reason for him to do so. If he did take it, all it would have done is fuel speculation about why he took it. The only winning move is not to play.

They started on illegal immigrants, expanded it to legal immigrants, now are going after naturalized citizens. If you are not one of those groups, you are just somewhere further down the chain, but they will get to eliminating your rights eventually too.

Crazy idea: Democrats should defend immigration and immigrants, run on the idea that immigrants make America great, and stop Homer Simpsoning themselves into the shrubbery every time Republicans try to demagogue it.

Kotlikoff clearly sucks, but I’m worried they’ll give him the boot, and then do absolutely nothing to address the structural issues that allowed this to happen in the first place.

Bro, if your doctor is doing a cognitive test every time you get a physical, there’s a reason for that, and it’s not because you keep acing them.

Do people even drink Yuengling anymore? It was great when I was in my 20s and didn't know that beer isn't supposed to taste like skunk before we discovered Lion's Head was even cheaper. I thought we all moved on to different mediocre local beer.

The last time Trump lost the Presidency and tried to overturn the results, we also voted in unprecedented numbers but nothing happened to the people behind J6 because Biden & Co were too scared to jail Trump. The People did their job, Jon. This is about what you guys in power didn't do.

just a casual reminder that inciting violence against his political opponents and others he dislikes has been a core feature of Donald Trump's approach for more than a decade. It is a defining characteristic of Trump and his movement, but rarely centered as such by corporate media.

To start with, this is happening because the president has targeted a member of Congress as part of a broader explicitly racist hate campaign against Americans of a particular ethnic origin. There's no other way to put it.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

wrote on saturday that trump was not going to let democrats avoid the question of impeachment and here we are with an offense that would have had a president impeached, removed and *at least* exiled if it had happened at any point prior to now.

The norm should be the exact opposite. The government has all of the resources possible. The entire process is stacked in their favor. The courts should assume the government is lying under the best of conditions.

BTW, the reason these guys get so offended when Trump etc is accurately called a racist/rapist/criminal is because they knew all of this and voted for him anyway. They know where the party they spent their lives defending is now and they’re afraid of how it reflects on them. That’s the whole thing.

I hope White House & Pentagon reporters will demand an explanation as to how the administration plans to prevent children from accidentally or intentionally witnessing a live execution. In addition to the general barbarism, there are significant dangers to the public from this nonsense.

Without doing any research, I’m guessing the bathrooms are a tiny part of that $70 million and most of the bathroom costs have nothing to do with the gender markers on the doors.

If we do not immediately eliminate the death penalty in the United States we are not only a barbaric nation but a willfully vicious and bloodthirsty one with a "pro-life" court whose hypocrisy puts Robespierre to shame.

Downside: The US now has government goon squads, and deploys them to try to intimidate voters into voting the way the president wants. Upside: They don’t have nearly enough goons. Not even close. They’re hoping fear will make up for that big shortfall, but it won’t.

It's been such a long few years, I'd forgotten this particular rape accusation against Hegseth. The woman told police she may have been drugged. Hegseth, who was married to one woman and had just had a baby with another, said it was consensual but paid her $50k to settle. He was confirmed anyway.

And this is why abandoning trans people is politically stupid. It doesn’t matter what you say, they’ll still try to use it against you. Instead of throwing trans people under the bus, try changing the narrative.

Providing chairs when job duties don’t really require standing is a textbook example of a reasonable accommodation. Taking away chairs, thereby forcing disabled workers to put in formal requests to aggressively hostile employer, can be a pretty effective way of pushing people out of their jobs.

But that's assuming he'd lie about being in Atlanta. Smith doesn't seem like the type to make that sort of mistake. He even said it's possible he travelled through the Atlanta airport at some point...which I also have...clearly Smith and I are conspiring to take down TRUMP!
