Those same D.C. Dems used all of their political capital to try and force him to resign by very publicly pushing the story that the party and big donors were forcing him to resign. They aren't feckless so much as they know they lost and are salvaging what is left of their careers in the party.

And Earl Warren was actually skilled at building consensus across the entire Court. No one is accusing Roberts of unifying the liberal and conservative wings of the Court for the good of the country.

The Oklahoma AG defended his decision to accuse a 12-year-old of coming on to a pastor who repeatedly molested her by saying he didn't know that she was 12-years-old and didn't read the demand letter that emphasized that fact before responding to it.

The truth is, most people only read the hints and abstracts Ancestry generates from documents, so they miss a lot of the important details. And that's ok! I started that way, too. I still do it when I'm building quick speculative trees. But reading and analyzing is how you break through walls.

A mostly unprofitable, but personally fulfilling, thing I do is to give an hour or two of my time to help people research a genealogical topic when they message me with a question. It's not hard and I like to think that showing my work improves the quality of their research.

The brain bug is the boss of the bugs that sucks people's brains out. So having your brain sucked out of your skull would make this plan to replace Biden seem like a good idea. I do apologize for assuming that you were familiar with the movie you were referencing in the meme.

The Democratic Party is so concerned about the fate of democracy in our country that it is preparing to do the only sensible thing, remove the candidate who won every primary so that party insiders can pick a candidate they prefer.

Forrest was not a mentally disabled, virgin, string bean in the book. He was a savant who failed home economics but solved graduate level physics problems without any prior education, had a lot of sex with Jenny, and was a giant, jacked running back at Alabama before failing out.

When I was in undergrad, a symposium professor in my major would stop you if you said "uh" or "um" to force you out of your verbal ticks and fillers. This has inspired my decision to surgically remove exclamation marks from the minds of youths.

Elon has previously said that he doesn't read books because it takes too long. We can now hone in on the definition of "too long" with his inclusion of the Constitution. Including the amendments, 7,500 words is too long for Elon. Without, it would be 4,500.
