Always possible things are different this time around, but historically speaking Americans don’t care about foreign policy, at least when picking presidents.

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

There’s really no consequences for them when shown they were wrong in 1-4 years. They’ll go with “I never said that” or “we voted for it” or some other empty phrase.

I think it’s more the discourse and how people could unironically suggest Obama’s debate performance somehow got Trump elected.

Reminder: When someone 1) Has an obvious financial conflict of interest to oppose clean energy 2) Has never given a shit about whales before and 3) Is a well-documented lying liar You do not need to take "we have to stop clean energy to save the whales" claims from them seriously.

My gym has a “no cell phones in the locker rooms” that they actually enforce. Kind of a pain to skip ahead in my podcast, but a reasonable inconvenience.

Even excepting the “but Texas,” it’s very difficult to lose a medical license on first offense. This was obviously ghoulish, but wouldn’t surprise me if it ended in a suspension of 6-18 months.

I'm 2,000 words into a story involving hundreds of pages, in dozens of documents, over multiple years.

It's an important story — worth the time and money I'm putting into it. But I can only do this b/c of you.

FWIW, there were a lot of Trump signs here in rural NH 4 years ago, and there really are not many this go around. Is that meaningful? Probably not, but it at least makes me feel a little better.
