He's probably got more brains than the average person and he's not alone in having this take, but that doesn't make it a good one. Could everyone just stop... you know... *gestures vaguely* this stuff for a bit? Please?

I think the rhetoric about the debate performance has done much, much more damage to Biden than the debate performance itself (which was, to be clear, Not Good). I really hope we manage to stumble our way into beating Trump, but it's nerve wracking.

I can think of at least three reasons why that's a terrible idea, and I haven't even had my coffee yet.

Politics is perception. He screwed the debate up. It shouldn't matter, but it does matter. Maybe it even *should* matter. How can you run a country if you can't prep for a debate with a fucking idiot? I'm ridin' with Biden regardless, but yikes.

To be fair, taking someone else's idea but doing it better, is how a lot of businesses work. Google wasn't the first (or fifth) search engine and primitive forms of cloud storage have been around longer than you'd think.

Even assuming she could (she can't), Mike Johnson becomes President. (Her term would end on January 20th. Period. If there were no election, we'd have to walk down the order of succession to find a new President).

I come to you when I want a snarky, but not hysterically over-reacting, take on political matters. The fact that this could count as a "not hysterically over-reacting" take fills me with dread.

Both Thomas and Alito have mothers who made it into their 90s. I'd say the odds of them getting to be 80 are good. I don't know. I can sort of see one of them resigning, but the second one will hang on for dear life to maintain the court (im)balance.

Why has USG always maintained that? AFAIK, the Constitution explicitly says that legislators are immune for certain acts, but never says that the President is. Are we just supposed to assume that that was an oopsie-oversight and they meant to include the President?

In 2020, Biden responded to Trump with "Will you shut up, man?" which probably wasn't workshopped but is exactly the sort of thing that should be.

This is like me saying "Well, maybe we should have a national popular vote". Yeah. We don't. Now let's get back to reality. If the incumbent runs, they win the primary. Sometimes there's no competition. Sometimes there is and they stomp all over it.

I'm not capable of judging if this is a good decision from a legal standpoint, but it seems like a bad decision from an everything-else standpoint.

I can imagine an AI getting confused enough to think you want bacon ice cream (I mean, who doesn't?), but you would think there would be some sort of failsafe that would make it impossible for you to *get* bacon ice cream.

There is a difference between suspending your belief so that a core fundamental part of the movie works and suspending your belief because the writers were lazy and didn't care.

The advice that I got during the last California heat wave was to run the AC until 4PM and then turn it off, thus avoiding peak energy time. The house was usually cool enough at that point that it would last the rest of the day.

It's the latest diet fad. It's no longer enough to promote your wacky diet with "You will lose weight!". Now it has to cure COVID, regrow limbs, and, yes, make you immune to skin cancer.
