Jordan Sather, a prominent promoter of the QAnon conspiracy theory, suggested that Swift’s life had been orchestrated as part of a sinister plot to encourage her fans to vote.

There a few other people quoted in there but it's all the same sinister plan they are proposing: The psyop is encouraging people to vote.

Republicans see large voter turnout as a bad thing because they are less popular than they want you to think they are. This is not new, it's just a new target.

"I am calling for clarifying legislation to be adopted in accordance with our State Constitution that prohibits satanic displays in our Capitol building and on all state owned property. I am calling for legislation to be adopted that makes it legal to display the Ten Commandments in our Capitol, in all buildings owned by the state, and in our public schools."

That a single, continuous quote from a state representative. In two back-to-back sentences, they said that the religious display is unconstitutional and it should be legal to have a religious display. Amazing.

It doesn't have to be but it is.

It's antibiotic-resistant pneumonia, if you don't want to click.

Hephaestus seems the most likely to leave me alone. The gods are so capricious that I'd prefer to not have their attention.

They said he couldn't move the Georgia RICO case to federal court, making it less likely that any other defendant will be able to, either. It can still go to the Supreme Court which may change things. Saved you a click.

This article just discusses another article that's behind a paywall. It says the first type of person is goodwilled Republicans who want to believe Trump isn't a terrible person so they believe / justify whatever is required to maintain that belief. Unless I missed it, it doesn't discuss the second type of person. I presume it's terrible people who believe Trump has done terrible things but they lie that because they're terrible.

I mean, you can, though. Maybe you shouldn't do it, but that's only if the negative consequences outweigh the positive.

I believe they are pointing out that, despite the fact that this is being done by a group that is trying to make Trump look bad, it will be viewed as making him look good to those on the far right. They like dictators so long as they're part of the in-group.

Safety inspections are also in the customer's best interest. So is retaining the employees who know how to keep them safe when flying at high speed and well off the ground. If a pay raise is what is required to retain those employees, then it is critical to customer safety. Not having preventable deaths or injuries is very much in the best interest of the company.

If they have been alerted to safety issues and take no action or insubstantial action, that sound like negligence which can be quite costly.

IANAL, YMMV, etc.

My lord? Yes? My lord? What now? Let's get digging! Ho! Alright.

You could improve this by comparing it to someone beheading a statue of Jesus at the state capitol. I don't know if that has happened, but it would be more likely to elicit the response you describe.

This is what a winner does. This is how you can tell Russia is winning.

Most cats are lactose intolerant with the most common symptom being diarrhea 8-12 hours later. That crazy orange cat is sacrificing his dignity to feed his insatiable desire for lasagna. A true inspiration to us all.

Honorary stock. Same vibe, although shorter-lived.
