I was on her side until I saw that your guess is correct

Or are they banking on the idea that only a Repub president will act as a Unitary Executive, even if those powers exist

But presumably there’s other pollution associated with non-fuel components burning

They use methane rather than hydrogen, so a bit of CO2 pollution

I spotted a Freedom Tickler in a West Virginia bathroom vending machine as late as 2007

Dignity after death isn’t when someone else picks and chooses which dignities should be afforded you and which can be denied

Try reading?
This statement is clearly about Smith’s individual reproductive choice, not the Smith family’s life support choice.

NYC voters can only rank 5 candidates regardless of whatever compulsion they may feel
“Fringe” candidates can only be elected if they have the highest aggregate ranking by voters amongst all candidates
That candidate may remain fringe in your mind, but the electorate would have disagreed with you

NYT editorial staff selectively ignoring their “no endorsement” policy at their convenience has nothing to do with rank choice voting

Just like Germany in the 20th century, things swung one way, then another 🤷🏽

In Minnesota, first-degree charges need to be brought by a grand jury, these are just preliminary charges

I once housesat a younger greyhound who got out the front door and watching him run down the sidewalk was like watching the USS Enterprise go into warp
He came back 😊

Lawfully, we could surround *all* buildings with people clasping their hands in order to protect them, and it would still be embarrassing

It looks like there’s an eyehole, i.e. that’s a full-headed mask

The joke behind her work in this series is making fun of pseudoscholarship, of the way people value pattern-making over understanding, of the way expertise is devalued by egoism
She’s not going after intelligence, she’s going after overconfidence bias

For humanity to advance, we must murder comedy!
comment in response to

Her comedy pokes fun at people who overvalue their own intelligence while undervaluing the intelligence of others, taking themselves extremely seriously as a result
I would imagine she would not be funny to such people

lol I thought of exactly this
One of my favorite Randy Newman quotes was him laughing that people thought he was serious when he sang Short People but that he was joking when he sang I Love LA

It’s a Reduction In Force, which *is* a layoff as per OPM

All of the reporting on the reductions at CDC state the initial action was a layoff, that employees received layoff notices as part of RIF implementation

I’d guess this was rank incompetence at work
If they can legally fire without cause, then why not just fire whomever they didn’t want in the first place?

If you want to win elections, it’s probably a better strategy to recognize how people actually vote and adjust your message accordingly, rather than just condescendingly calling voters ridiculous and refusing to understand what’s driving their actions

But those metrics, and what Trump does or doesn’t say about them, are MEANINGLESS if most Americans are struggling regardless
That’s where Dems failed, and you’re continuing that error
Voters said, “we’re struggling,” Dems said, “no you’re not dummies, the metrics are great!”

Compared to other G7/20 economies, Americans were working more hours for less pay, less leave, less affordable healthcare, less affordable housing, etc
That’s not a different issue, that’s the lived experience people were voting (or not voting) on

Yeah it sucks, but if I lost the interest of that many former supporters I’d stop and wonder where I went wrong

This isn’t one of those “oh boy, there’s a lot of opinion on both sides” bills
This is a meat-and-potatoes, existential, every f*cking thing Dems *supposedly* oppose, bill
If anyone’s waffling on this one, Dem voters should be screaming for them to be primaried
comment in response to
post
I’m sorry, but if Dem senators need people to call them in order to know how to vote on this bill, then why the f*ck are they in office
comment in response to

If hordes of Dem constituents are talking about a thing, and elected Dems signal that serious people should be above such behavior, do you think that makes them a) more excited or b) less excited to vote Dem?

Thank you, I had no idea such barriers to compiling the data exist

Vote totals by precinct are public data, it would seem as though anyone could use that to tally presidential votes by state house district, even if SC doesn’t do so

I was never arguing with you about whether or not this person was MAGA.
I was arguing with your premise that it likely wasn’t MAGA because it was antisemitic.
“This Charlottesville thing” is MAGA being antisemitic.
MAGA and antisemitism sometimes go hand-in-hand.
comment in response to
post
You argued that MAGA was unlikely to be antisemitic. I disagreed.
If you’re not talking about the conclusion that marching with torches and chanting “Jews will not replace us” is antisemitic, then what are you talking about?
