How does the saying go:
The beauty of their women and the taste of their food has made the British the best sailors in the world.

Donald Trump ranked as worst US president in history, with Joe Biden 14th
Honestly, if you talk to most presidential historians they will tell you that you need about 20 years to pass before you can accurately assess a president. There's too many unknowns that will come to light only years or decades after a term ends, Eisenhower is a great example of this. So these rankings are likely to change over the years.
Although, having seen Trump's predilection for fraud, decit, and self-serving, I'd be shocked if he rebounds as more information comes out.

Can someone explain to me what makes Taylor Swift so popular?
Think of a dish made by a world class chef, that food is probably exquisitely crafted using unique and fresh ingredients. There probably aren't that many people out there who truly appreciate it, and probably a lot who just think it's weird.
Now think of pizza. It's relatively cheap and broadly appealing. It wouldn't be put in the same class as the food prepared by the chef, but a lot more of it gets consumed.
Taylor Swift is talented, pretty, affable, has a superior work ethic, and makes music that's catchy and easily digestible. Like pizza, her music appeals to the broadest group of people.

'A complete failure': Senate Republicans on a punishing election night
But Republicans don't see losses like this, realize they're unpopular, and adjust their ideas to better represent their constituents. Invariably, in the days and weeks following these losses they make pushes to change voting maps to further gerrymander districts, or alter polling places and times, or just screw with the process. Because no matter the rebuke, the problem must be with the voters, it cannot possibly be their policies.

Supreme Court conservatives signal willingness to roll back the power of federal agencies
Literally, the point of Chevron was that we cannot expect legislators to be as knowledgeable as the experts working at specific agencies. So allow the agencies leeway to act within the scope of the grant authorized by Congress. If Congress sees an overstep, then they can rein in that authority. I would love to hear a well-reasoned argument on why this should be disturbed.
Although, I know it will be overturned and well-reasoned won't be part of the decision.

Wisconsin Republican leader slams Democrats' proposed election maps as 'political gerrymander'
Easy enough, let's make political gerrymandering unconstitutional, as it always should have been. Politicians should not be choosing their voters, that's 180° backwards.

TRT is state owned Turkish media. You may want to seek this story out from a more trusted source before deciding on the veracity of the claims. I'm skeptical until something more comes along.

Mexican president defends disclosing a reporter's phone number, saying the law doesn't apply to him
Reply in thread
I have no opinion on the Mexican president, but I live in the States and there's about 70m people I could ask if Trump is an authoritarian or fascist and they'd say no. So simply living somewhere may not be the best barometer.

US Senate Republicans block assault-style weapons ban as mass shootings rise
I just wish Dems would stop trying to ban any guns, and not because I'm against gun control, but because it's a losing issue. It's never passing through this Congress, and if it ever did, the Supreme Court would strike it down. Given that that's fairly undeniable, why lose the people who organize and vote on this issue alone?

Wait...wait...wait, you look at the two parties and think the Democrats are the party of social nonsense and no substantive agenda? The Republican party has essentially distilled their entire platform down to "Woke"!

Sovereign citizen got their car towed, doesn't agree.
This strikes me as similar to flat earth, in that if you even bothered to think about it for a minute you'd realize it couldn't possibly be the case.
Is there a massive global conspiracy involving hundreds of millions of people which doesn't benefit anyone...hmm... probably not.
Or, could we have a civilization if people could just opt out of any responsibility or obligations...hmm... probably not.

Florida Cop Empties His Gun, Runs For Cover After Acorn Falls On Car and Mistakes It For Shots Fired
Do you know how loud a gunshot is..? And he thought the sound of an acorn hitting the car was a shot fired by the suspect inside the car he's standing next to? Either he's lying or he's remarkably stupid, either way he should not have a gun.

Got lucky but couldn't get it up. Should I apologise?
Listen, you got nervous and things didn't work right. It's actually a fairly common issue. The problem is the next time not only are you nervous about the same stuff, but you get nervous it won't work again.
Be an adult and talk to her. You don't need to apologize, just explain that you like her and got nervous and things didn't happen. She's probably worried it was her. Take things slow and be patient and relaxed. Everything will work out fine.
If you don't know what you're doing, search for porn for women. It tends to be more "realistic" and more focused on what women enjoy. But at the end of the day just take it slow and communicate.

Neither of these is reasonable.
There certainly are situations where this could be reasonable; however, when your parameters return 30,000 people it's not nearly tailored enough.
To get a warrant you need probable cause that a person committed a crime, I don't see how a live stream could meet that burden unless it starts prior to the arrival of the police.
These are both abuses by law enforcement, or more clearly, a path that allows their job to be easier by infringing on people's rights.
