We had the Sears version. Just not as cool

So, what you're saying is ... sometimes there's a movie... I won't say a film, 'cause, what's a film? But sometimes, there's a movie. And I'm talkin' about The Big Lebowski here. Sometimes, there's a movie, well, it's not the movie for its time and place.

And, frankly, the country doesn’t want to have to go through prosecuting a former president.

Yes, we do. We really, really do.

So, wait a minute. This kid makes a private joke among friends, and his message is intercepted by security services and obviously taken out of context (in that they failed to realize he was privately joking among friends).

Seems to me that the security forces should eat the cost of this. This is the price you pay for spying on everyone and overreacting.

The kid didn't say this publicly

Don't worry. The good folks at Boeing have assured us that it is all perfectly safe.

Trump has been overcharging the secret service for years. Why wouldn't efforts to limit his grifting be in place?

You can too often see the same thing in LED car headlights and tail lights. The most obnoxious of these flicker noticeably all the time. Not much better are the ones that seem to be on continuously when viewed in the center of your vision, but flicker in your peripheral vision. The later I find really distracting

Wait, is this the article that has been gnawing at Martha Alito (Martha-Ann Alito, wife of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito) for almost two decades?

Be a shame if, amongst other things, links to this article kept popping up everytime anyone did an internet search on her

I'm not sure why the senate shouldn't subpoena him, and have him appear before them to explain just what he means by this. He wouldn't show, of course, and end up in contempt of congress. Of course, this would make him even more popular with his cult, but we already know who they'll vote for.

Really, he keeps doing shit that would get anyone else arrested. It's time to arrest him.

While this can't be the only line of attack, it is a good one. Already, Trump seems to be having difficulty attacking Harris, as he has to work to continually suppress saying the most racist and sexist things he can think of. Imagine if he has to react to the 'weird' criticism by continually, on the fly, suppress some of his stranger speaking topics too. I'm guessing the mental load of doing that might put an amusing amount of strain on the old man. Imagine Trump, if the rallies weren't fun for him anymore. How's he going to recharge that narcissistic brain of his?

That's a weird thing to say

Nah, it's good planning. While you stand there turning the handle, you have an excellent view of the town and all that's going on. On the Republican side, you have to work with your back to all that's going on, with little to look at but the fence

He has a platform. He needs repercussions.

The remains were discovered during an archaeological survey prior to the construction of new residential buildings in the city.

Did we learn nothing from Poltergeist?

With a billion dollars, I'd just buy enough congressman to make university free for everyone. They're not even that expensive

No kidding! Consequently, I have decided to redouble my efforts to avoid quicksand

We are just so focused on the stupid horse race that we're not actually picking a leader.

This 'stupid horse race' is all that stands between us and four more years of Trump

It is sad that on any topic concerning South America, I am suspicious of anything that the US says.

Exactly. It was a fault on the rocket, which was manufactured by ULA, a joint venture between Lockheed and Boeing....oh, crap

In coffee, researchers suspect that the beans, water used for brewing, or soil could be contaminated. Previous research has also found coffee filters to be treated with PFAS, and paper cups or other food packaging also commonly contain the chemicals.

I'd guess it could also be K Cups and non-dairy creamer, but who knows

"Why don't voters see that genocide is in our nation's best interest?"

"Why don't voters care more about stock prices than food prices?"

Unlike the orange baboon, he means well. He's just so steeped in neoliberalism that he thinks he knows better than we do what we need.

What I want is a president who cares more about Americans than America.

And while I broadly agree with your point, it is far too easy for law enforcement to tack on additional charges like resisting arrest. And, yes, in most states resisting arrest is also a misdemeanor, but incidents can be raised to felony resisting arrest if they involve assault on an officer. Unfortunately, it is easy for any innocent physical contact with police to be interpreted as assault, if an officer decides to portray it that way. The truth matters, but so does ACAB

Well, yeah. Trump doesn't seem to care about either

We had a Saudi prince in custody?

That peninsula is always up to something

I bet they all got paid though

Boeing was sending them out the door like this and it was a new plane. They've had quality issues that they haven't been addressing

You can't carpool while doing crime. Too many witnesses

You can take Florida man out of Florida, but you can't take the Florida out of Florida man

I know I was doing some worried scrolling

The instructions were probably more helpful for someone who knew what these tubes were. I was probably about 6 at this point, hadn"t been actively involved in much TV repair by this time, and I guess I somehow didn't pick up enough clues from the context of the instructions to put it all together before just leaping into playing with the dials and switches. You know, like a kid

*too

No one is stopping Biden from ending aid to Israel - not congress, not the supreme court, no one. It is only this administration's estimation that doing so would lessen our influence in the region that is preventing it.

Biden is angry and frustrated that the American people don't value retaining and extending regional power in the middle east as much as he does. He cares about us, but doesn't want us to get in the way. Henry Kissinger may be dead, but he still has a lot of influence.

Post of info on Tiblur by a now 3 hour old lemmy account

Ah, yes, oh so reliable

I remember one of these being at the grocery store as a kid. I didn't know at the time what it was for, but it had knobs and switches to play with.
