Holy shit, we live in the stupidest possible universe. A.G. Sulzberger is the heir to, and publisher of the NYT. Anonymous source from the NYT: "It’s A.G. He’s the one who is pissed [that] Biden hasn’t done any interviews and quietly encourages all the tough reporting on his age.”

I just looked up the Wikipedia entry for A.G. Sulzberger, the publisher of the NYT: "An anonymous Times journalist told Politico in 2024, "...It’s A.G. [Sulzberger], he’s the one who is pissed [that] Biden hasn’t done any interviews and quietly encourages all the tough reporting on his age."

I love that show! It also has an excellent soundtrack full of artists who I hadn't heard of before. It turns out that the creator and star, Jared Keeso personally pre-selects each song and sends it to everyone in the corresponding scene so they understand the mood.

I have never heard of anything like this happening in the EU, where most traffic enforcement is done via cameras. Maybe it's something other than license plate scanners at issue, such as the USA's lack of a codified right to privacy with outlined punishment for violations?

But it sounds so cool tho! Magically, all the evils will somehow skip over me, and voila... the ends justify the means! Crap like this makes me believe that the horseshoe theory of politics might be a least a little bit accurate.

I was wondering if this was true. It's true. "In general, gun owners must be 18 years of age and have no felony convictions on their record. Someone under 18 must have written permission from a parent or guardian to possess a firearm. Idaho does not impose a waiting period for firearm purchases."

The Democrats need to co-opt AOC's fire, like they did Obama's. It needs to happen immediately. Even if she is not the 2024 candidate, she needs to be nearly front and center going forward, with full support of the party. She is the only Dem speaking with the due sense of urgency.

What if we just elected AOC as President, and a very well sizable majority of Dems to Congress... kinda like what happened the last time establishment R's and D's screwed up this hard, in 2008.

In 2008, the establishment Rep's and Dem's had screwed up the country so hard, that "out of nowhere" the USA shocked the world by electing a President with the middle name "Hussein" - only 7 years after 9/11. We may be coming to that level of dissatisfaction again.

I wish we had more space in comments here.. I said "slightly revisionist" - HRC, and Biden were both Senators who voted for the invasion. However, if you look at the voting record of the entire Congress, Senate and House together, then the majority of Dems voted against. Most notably Obama.

The main reason that Hussein Obama was able to "come of out nowhere" in 2008, is due to his record as loudly voting against the invasion of Iraq.

This is slightly revisionist history. First of all, the GOP's "Project for a New American Century" laid out the plans to invade Iraq, years prior to 9/11. Second, even after 9/11, they needed to create "The Office of Special Plans" because their plans made even the CIA blush. 1/2

I agree, but also if wasn't for Ralph Nader running for president in 2000, the USA might not have killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, and we'd be 20+ years ahead on climate change.
