Nearly half of the voters in this country want an adjudicated rapist to hold office again.

Got all the way through the Constitution and did not find the provision whereby the South African oligarchs select the vice-presidential nominees on behalf of the Russian dictator.

As reporting suggests that Biden plans to support reforms to the Supreme Court, new polling indicates that most Americans, viewing the court with disapproval, support age and term limits. washingtonpost.com/politics/20

Florida's / DeSantis' "don't say climate change" at the national level.

Because if you ignore a problem it always goes away, and nothing bad ever happens.

Interesting article. I do cry at movies - but *never* when other people are there. I can probably count on one hand the number of people who have ever seen me cry.
I don't know why - it just seems very intimate and vulnerable, and I'll do whatever it takes (including inappropriate jokes) to break the feeling before it can get to that point.

A question, for anyone who wants to answer, about trust.

If someone breaks your trust in a fundamental way, can you "get over it" and trust them again?
I have a situation where I'm being told I need to get over it, and I think I have - I'm no longer angry. But trust them again? Put myself in a situation where I could be hurt by them again? No. I've never done that before, why should I start now?

And is this a me thing, or an autism thing?

It'll be appealed to the 11th circuit, where Cannon has already been slapped down more than once. Hopefully he'll ask for it to be reassigned.

And that will ripple out into more jobs, from Amtrak and subcontractors to Amtrak, to further raise employment and wage competition, influencing wage offers in other areas.

Who could have guessed that bottom-up economics works better than trickle-down?

β€œTwo people who were wounded at Trump's rally are in the hospital and one person is dead.

Trump didn't visit the hospital or the family of the man who was killed.

He went golfing.

Yeah, I don't know why that caught on. When I've gone out of the country, I usually identify myself as being from the U.S.
Except with Bush the Lesser was president, then I said I was from Canada.

btw .. "Americans" 🀨

like from Chile, Canada, Cuba?

If Biden doesn't run in November, the Heritage Foundation and their allies will stage another Brooks Brothers Riot to keep the replacement Democrat candidate off the ballot in every state they can reach. They'll shop for Federalist Society judges and tie them up using procedural delays until after the election. The result will be a victory for Trump by default. If any cases *do* get to the supreme court, Clarence Thomas et al will rule in their own self-interest.

This is how you get a coup.
