Just occurred to me earlier today that, as an ACA marketplace user, I’m almost certainly going to lose my healthcare.

Yes. We dodged a bullet because he’s fucking lazy and there were just enough adults left in the room. Next time the room will be full of malicious people who know to take advantage of his laziness. Also he’s just gonna tell DOJ ‘Have that guy jailed’ and they’ll do the work for him.

Previous guy worked like 3 hours a day. Had to be shown basically policy coloring books because he wouldn’t read. And could only pay attention to anything that wasn’t about him for 90 seconds. Also he thinks planes can’t fly when it’s cloudy.

Hillary had a cold and the media treated it like she was on death’s door. The same thing awaits Harris if Joe drops out. Maybe it’s the media that needs to be asking themselves what the problem is.

Rolling into the oval office at 11, zoning out for the intelligence briefing, whining until they let him wander away and watch fox. That was Trump every damn day

‘People’ are not paying that much attention. They just see ‘Biden old’ and generally still regard the NYT as trustworthy.

Biden is not being replaced. Not sure what special knowledge you have that indicates he can’t do the job. But you seemed super worried about being up for it. Hope that helps.

Maybe read the actual stories. Nowhere does it say he’s going to start going to bed at 8 pm. Also his opponent mainlined Fox News until midnight while in office then had ‘executive time’ until 11 am. Then fucked off to golf for three days. Since you seem concerned about the demands of the job.

This is why all the ‘Biden sucks but I’m voting for him anyway’ comments are dumb. With zero margin for error he got legislation done that’s transforming large sectors of the American economy to create jobs and maybe stave off the worst effects of climate change. A+ accomplishment.

just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

No it was settled. But I don’t believe any Democrat had the foresight to ask if the nominee was going to unsettling it.

Comb thrift stores. Often have great frames super cheap. Sure it’s got some crappy hotel room art in it but you can toss that. Also gonna want your own matte cutter but that combo gets pretty cheap if you’re doing more than 2-3 frames.

Isn’t it even dumber than that? Vague recollection that the rule the case was based on was never even implemented. Republicans got mad at something that never happened and now the judiciary is our government just as the founders intended.

Click through to the actual study. They could have just as easily said ‘Almost 30% of Drivers Plan To Ditch Car Entirely’. It’s also the exact same percent that globally is considering going back to ICE from EV.

The model to contemplate is Putin’s Russia. Trump aspires to it and SCOTUS just gave him the ok. Putin is the richest person in the world. He has oligarchs who do well as long as they stay loyal. And the nation suffers terribly. Sham elections. Detained/murdered opposition. State media.

Manchin sucks and, along with Sinema, killed any chance of some major changes. BUT his Value Over Replacement Senator was HUGE. Still voted to put thru LOTS of judges and eventually reversed course to get the IRA done. Any other WV Senator would be Republican and none of that happens.

Would think the voting public would like to know that Trump thinks inflation is running at 30% when it’s 1/10th that.

I do not know what will happen. I do know that almost every election post Dobbs has seen huge swings to Ds. Districts that were like R+20 were suddenly seeing R+5 margins. Trump is turnout magic for Rs but he has also already lost the popular vote TWICE. Don’t panic. Start working.

But they are the minority. And is THIS close to all falling apart for them. And I think they know it, which is why they are all-in on TFG. Win in Nov. is Step 1. Then start worry about Step 2

Honestly…I’d 100% rather buy a $20 ticket on the 2ndary market for Wolves v. Palace then pay $150 for a glorified scrimmage between Arsenal and Liverpool.

Corky was always nice to me. Although I quickly learned to never talk story ideas with him. He was at the daily; I was at a weekly. And more than once he pilfered something I said and beat me to print with it.

After Austin was gerrymandered into 6 sections. Go look at his district. It’s the poster child for the shithousery republicans have gotten away with.
