How is that the headline? Not that "the president's priorities are fucked", but that he used a naughty word in private when he was pissed?

Of the many jokes I've heard over the years, I've forgotten most. This one, which I heard about 20 years ago, I've never forgotten, and it still hasn't gotten old.

Just like Connor Clapton.

This is pretty ridiculous. Every politician is full of shit to at least some degree, and our "reporters" are horribly biased and broken. If they really want to do something about it, they can discuss broadcasting standards or maybe consequences for deliberately deceptive journalism. No single group or issue should have its own standard.

I can navigate Windows well enough for my job, but I'd never choose it for personal use. I'm no Linux expert, but I haven't yet been faced with a problem I couldn't solve.

If they ever get this perfected, the next step would be to deal with the inevitable "you actually have the wrong department. Please hold while I transfer you to some other asshole".

He could be right, but it will come down to how the other Republican candidates handle it. If they get behind him and portray him as a martyr, there are certainly enough gullible (R) voters to deliver the election. We'll just need to see if the (D) turnout is strong enough to overcome that. On the other hand, if they unite against him, he'll lose the nomination, run independently, and split the (R) vote.

Option A is far more likely. We've seen over and over again that facts, legality, and consistency don't matter, but appointing judges does. A disgraced scumbag that appoints who he's told to appoint is infinitely more important than having "principles" without power.

So that everyone running for a House seat can get their position on record before the election, I suppose

Not for me. After nearly 20 years in retail, I can safely say that at least half the people out there are dumbasses. I'm sure that they'd vote for one of their kind.

So say we all.

I'm sure they'll do a very thorough job investigating themselves.

Yet? How would one turn into a boomer?

Real front-line reporting.

I was going to say the "grab them by the pussy" tape was crossing the line, but yeah, treason as well.

It's his.

Which election was that?

Not exactly a cancelation, but Star Trek TNG. All of the characters were far more developed than TOS's, which is why they didn't work as well in movies. Better for them to have their own episodes than to unsuccessfully have them share a movie. Any of them could have been just as good, if not better, as multi-part episodes.

I basically agree. It's great that we've acknowledged that a lot of things shouldn't be said so casually, but there has also been an over-correction. I'm not going to call people/things "retarded" like I did at 13 years old in 1999, for examlple, but if you're getting butthurt that I wrote the word instead of "the r-word" for an example, you need to calm down.

I stopped drinking.

Someone wrote an article about this?!? Obviously the porn-related trial should come

first.

Didn't say it was hard. To be clear...by saying "well enough," I mean that I don't have any major problems with it...I'm just no expert. I find that there are two many pointless "utilities" that only slow the machine down. Both of my last two (brand new) computers have had both Windows and Ubuntu installed before adding anything else. There's actually still nothing on the Windows partitions, but whenever I switch to it, it's like switching from a car to a bicycle. It's ridiculous how Windows can be so, so slow "right out of the box," while Ubuntu just works.

I haven't done any Uber driving for quite some time and never did DoorDash at all, so keep in mind this information may not be valid...

From what I could see, Uber never took a cut of the tip, so app vs cash shouldn't matter...but...I would still prefer cash, because I wouldn't be surprised at all if Uber did, in fact, take a cut. Though more importantly, just make sure you tip one way or another. There was something clearly faulty with how Uber calculated their fees for food as opposed to passengers. I did a few Uber Eats deliveries, but turned it off once I saw how little it paid. $2-4 for 30-40 minutes was ridiculous, and it only gets worse if you have any problems (food wasn't ready...or the customer has you bring it to their door which could be on the 8th floor of their apt building...oh, and you can't park at the apt building without being a resident...or maybe the Uber Eats driver before you grabbed your order). I strongly discourage using Uber Eats unless you're prepared to tip very, very well. Uber is barely paying them. I was only occasionally driving for Uber for extra cash around my full-time job, but there are people that are taking every ride that comes up because it's their only income. Until compensation in the food service industry is fundamentally reworked, always tip well.

I think he's including primaries and VP candidates.

I'm just going to avoid the strenuous exercise part.

Easily the best band currently active

The delegates/DNC are responsible here, not the media. If they're all going to support Harris without any debate, the media can't be faulted for reporting it.

I agree with the sentiment though. Harris has a lot of problems on her record and couldn't even make it to Iowa in 2020. That she has enough connections to get picked as VP anyway doesn't mean she has to be the default nominee.

Obviously it's not The Onion. It's way too weird for that.

At least they got the military covered. What a relief.

I'd say that's mainly a consequence of needing to produce so many episodes per season, not an indication that there were no stories left for the characters.

But if the headline started with "Democrats demand...", people wouldn't stopped reading there.

Trump wasn't in the Democratic primary.

I did not say the DNC is the state. I am suggesting that the way the two-party system has developed is an indication of a failed state.

I've been trying, but for some reason, it will not recognize my HD. I'be reformatted my drive...tried different drives...I don't know what else to do.

That may be true now, but if she doesn't maintain solid poll numbers over the next few weeks, the DNC won't hesitate to replace her.

Who cares who got RFK to run? Let the candidates debate, and let the citizens vote. Why are so many people scared of that concept that no one is talking about the fact that the DNC rigged three consecutive primaries?

I do believe that just about every major issue that this country/world is facing deserves a more nuanced discussion than just the (R) and (D) party platforms. Life is rarely that simple. Wouldn't you like to have had a better idea of where Harris stands on everything and maybe have been questioned and challenged a bit before the convention? Or are you just happy to have a not-Trump candidate that isn't senile?

And what the fuck does the holocaust have to do with anything?

Then the Dems would have nothing to fear by letting him run in the primary, right? Oh wait...if he got even 1 delegate, they couldn't have just handed the nomination to Harris. There might have been a debate or a vote? The party that's "defending democracy" can't have that, I guess.

And in some instances, both sides actually do the same shit. Can you really not see that since at least Perot, if not McGovern, they've both been doing whatever possible to exclude third parties when they're a threat, or support them when it's convenient?

I bet you think professional wrestling is real too...

If I understand the actual text of the law, it only refers to disputes that directly involve the U.S. This dispute does not. (Sure, the U.S. is indirectly involved, but we're at least indirectly involved with everything.)

Yes, it would be stupid for him to involve himself, but Trump has done enough illegal shit that we don't need to go looking for more.

I have little doubt that the country will end up as some version of Trump's authoritarian state. The question is the timing.

I actually think that our best chance of avoiding it (in the long run) is another Trump victory. He will make those changes so abruptly that people will react far more strongly than if we slid into an authoritarian state gradually. I mean....think about the possibility of Trump having won in 2020. The DNC would have to accept that they need to nominate a truly progressive candidate, and people would be demanding change immediately. Instead, we're justifying Biden/Harris again because they're not Trump.

And the Dems dicked with RFK to get him to run independent instead of possibly getting a Democratic delegate. Both parties will do whatever necessary to make sure the two-party system is maintained and outsiders don't threaten their control. What else is new?

The DNC has rigged three primaries in a row, yet has continued to struggle against the same crook that can't form a sentence. It doesn't fit the exact definition of "failed state", but do we need to split that hair?
