Refugee from that other site. Guilt-free Seattle liberal in search of content about outdoor sport, nerdy science, but especially sarcasm.

Biden has a bad debate night: calls to step down Documents released that show two underage women accused Trump of raping them on Epstein’s island, under oath: total media silence except in a few blogs and foreign news The media double standard is incredible to see

Seriously, all these chucklefucks out there clutching their pearls over the debate would be doing a lot more to defeat Trump if, instead of harassing their party’s nominee to step down, they spent their energy demanding investigations of and resignations from those 6 SCOTUS traitors.

That is my thinking, too. The SC went out of its way to proactively empower Trump and subject us to his worst instincts. Does Biden have a responsibility to use (no, abuse) that power instead? I wish I was kidding, but I’ve been thinking about it for the last 24 hours, like, a lot.

This decision honestly begs the question of whether, if Trump is elected, Joe Biden should use the presidency for drastic measures - including to try to overturn the results? Obviously they intend for Trump, not Biden, to use the decision but given the timing it may seem rationale not to comply.

With modern medicine what it is, the likelihood that two men in their 70s drop dead without some type of protracted battle with a terminal illness are almost 0. Much more likely one of them survives into their 90s to witness with glee what havoc their SCOTUS tenure has reaped on the US.

Umm…no. That would also require the Democrats to control the Senate, and no conservative judges, let alone 2, will just not retire while Democrats control both the White House and the Senate.

"The President has exclusive authority over the investigative and prosecutorial functions of the Justice Department and its officials" wow so it turns out that waiting out Biden's entire term instead of arresting Trump on January 20th *wasn't* an ironclad requirement of law and procedure?!

Ok, but this worse because Jacobin in that title came from the same place AND if they didn’t know that it’s incredibly ignorant AND because they’re a bunch of white guys arguing that race doesn’t matter, so why are they trying to co-opt the rule if an amazing book that contradicts that world view?

They really got Disney+ wrong. They were using it to flood the market with terrible content when they have a monopoly on movies the vast majority of their audience will rewatch. Their subscribers will pay just for access to these movies if they focus on continuing to make high quality movies.

It’s totally fine to not know 5th grade level science concepts as long as you aren’t trying to provide expert testimony and set public policy on those topics. Like sometimes I trip on my shoelaces so I buy a lot of slip on shoes instead of trying to make shoelaces a felony

I find the predictive text has made my texts worse because if I pause too long (1 sec) in the middle of a word it will auto generate that word and try to make a word out of the second half of the word. It’s driving me crazy.
