honestly wealth of nations is much more progressive than he's given credit for but probably shouldn't be in congress, given that he's 301 years old and scottish

No debate is a Hindenburg event unless there’s a singular soundbite that can be played ad naseum. It’s why no one remembers how bad Fetterman was post-stroke but there were wall-to-wall ads with Dr. Oz’s “abortion should be between a woman, her doctors, and local political leaders”.

Dairy-free ice cream is like the one vegan alternative that can be straight up better than its conventional alternative. Like, tons of fake meats and cheeses are truly terrible but dairy-free ice cream is not the anti-vegan hill to die on.

A fun counter argument to “Midsommar isn’t horror” is to just put the movie on for like 5 minutes.

This is a very important conversation to have and, specifically, that time was about a year ago. This is literally why primaries exist. In the meantime, “losing everywhere” means very little in July. As for evidence, he’s the only one that actually has done that.

It’s an extremely crazy possibility that only exists by starting from “Biden is neurologically damaged” and backfilling from there. Or, to put it another way, why would he be at the White House for this. They have telephones

Are you implying that a neurologist was conducting examinations with a staffer but without the patient present to diagnose Alzheimer’s? Add in a palace coup 25th amendment story and there might be a spot for you at the NYT, lol

Yes, surely changing horses midstream will have only positive effects and no blowback whatsoever, and the press will become completely objective towards the new candidate. The polling is fine. No movement nationally outside of MOE and swing states ticked upward a bit.

The conclusion is that we should not be having this conversation and the only reason we are is because the tail is vigorously trying to wag the dog in order to get their cash cow back into office.

Very possible Thomas doesn’t make it through next term. For all the chatter about Sotomayor’s health, it’s only Thomas and Roberts who have been hospitalized in recent years.

It's wild how there are two completely dissonant realities in the American psyche of "if they have a lot of money you probably deserve it" and "you can't make money without being a ruthless asshole" an entire electorate governed by prosperity gospel and zero sum economics
