A couple thoughts...

It is talking about President, but counts years where those names appeared on the ballot as Vice President too.

It also ignores that a lot of other people have also been on the ballots over the years.

Also, some of this is natural. When a president has an 8 year run, the Vice President is a natural person to take a shot at the presidency, so it's perfectly normal to have 12 years where the same person is on the ballot as VP then P. It's natural for this to happen more than once in a row. Whether we've had this long of a streak or not, I don't know, but I suspect we might have.

This showerthought covers 44 years. The Bushs and Clintons double dipping is 12 years worth of ballots, but the other 32 years were natural. Hilary lost when she tried to double dip so I would argue the 8 years of Dubya are really the only anomaly in actual presidencies as far as "dynasties" are concerned.

I feel like sexual stamina and masturbation stamina are not the same thing

Very interesting. Is there somewhere I can buy a fork that doesn't have those slots?

Ha, I thought this was a question and started to link to the lawfare article which came out today and has same title... because this was actually a link to the article and not a question

I am even more convinced now than ever that the conspiracy theory I have been trying to start is true, they are covering up that he was shot in one ear and it went out the other without doing any damage whatsoever.

If you don't hear from me in 24 hours, they got to me, man, the MIB got to me

In the immunity case, when all the other judges were writing opinions about that case, Clarence Thomas wrote an opinion about a totally different case, this one. He was signaling her to dismiss the case.

I'm so sick of these corrupt motherfuckers

It must be so tedious being a conservative. Being afraid of everything, hating everyone, keeping up with all the conspiracy theories, constantly thinking about children's genitals.

So sick of clickbait articles based on tweets. This article rehashes how Trump used AI/Swift imagery to imply Swiftie support, then quotes tweets from three Swift fans saying they didn't like Trump. That's it. That's the whole ass article.

Unfortunately, tardigrades love the bass and cello and hate violins so the only way to get a photo of one playing the violin would be to fake it somehow

I'm so old I can remember back before SCOTUS gave him immunity, he was supposed to be sentenced for his 34 felony convictions this week

Meanwhile, Daddy was bragging on truth social that he had $500 million in cash a couple days ago

The judge should warn the GOP senators about minding their own fucking business

JFC, the person who started all this on Facebook says it's false and these freaks are like "NOPE, THIS IS ALL WE CARE ABOUT NOW"

The significance is that if they ask for a speedy trial in Fulton County, the court is obligated to give it to them within the current 2 month court cycle or the next, and if they can't go to trial in that time, the case is dropped and they go free.

Nobody really wants to go to trial that fast, not only because it's hard to prepare the case that quickly, but it also limits the amount of pre-trial motions they can do.

It seems likely they were hoping Fani Willis couldn't go to trial that fast and they could just walk free, but Willis was like "I'm cool with that. I can do this shit tomorrow if you want" and now they'll get their speedy trial, which means their defense will be rushed and a little hamstrung.

These people aren't smart.

Why does any article about Trump not start with "Donald Trump, Who Refuses To Drop Out Of Presidential Race Despite 34 Felony Convictions and Looming Prison Sentence,..."

These are the people that are deeply concerned about the sexuality of M&Ms, they take every-fucking-thing seriously

"Trump’s sons, Eric and Don Jr, have helped with the fundraising around the legal defense fund created in July, which is intended to support legal costs of Trump’s associates and has begun to see financial pledges, the source said."

Everything should be fine, the people who steal from charities are in top of it

I've watched a lot of religious arguments and debates and, let me tell you, the religious have no problem whatsoever with lying. I mean, sometimes they're wrong, sometimes they have a weird interpretation, but they also tell bold faced lies that are easily disproven. They do it often and even when proven to be a lie, they just keep saying it for years.

Imagine if they actually spent time representing everyone instead of constantly picking a group and coming up with stupid ways to harass them.

When he was president he had all of that, a beautiful healthcare plan that would cover everyone and an infrastructure plan that strengthen the nation. They were always putting the finishing touches on them and they would be ready in two weeks. For four years. Guy seems to have trouble with finishing touches.

To add to that, this is three Democrats who spent like three minutes talking about and signing something a staffer typed up. It's not like we were about to have free healthcare but we can't now because they decided to spend months of work on this.

I posted this on Mastodon. In case you believe"alpha males" are smart, there is a bodybuilders forum that argued for page after page about how many days there are in a week.

I don't know why Republicans would really care, it's not like they're there to solve problems, pass legislation or make people's lives better.

It makes sense for certifying torque specs. Every time the wrench tightens a bolt, it can tell the network and it can be certified.

I saw a YouTube video where like 15 guys in some poor country rigged up a bicycle or something to power a projector that displayed a horrible picture of a movie onto the side of a stack of old tires. They were watching Tenet.

Of all the movies to watch that way..

I would have loved to see them be interviewed about it two hours later.
