At this point we've reached a complete and utter death of euphemism around anything regarding Trump.

All attempts to "bring to light" any horrible thing Trump has factually committed will be met by his followers with, "Well that's actually a good thing." And any politician trying to ride his wake will have to go along with it.

How soon until we start hearing "Look, we have to view Hitler with some nuance" from the Senate podium.

Has someone explained to them that sometimes sacrifices have to be made in order to stop that trans girl in Minnesota from playing volleyball? They just need to see the bigger picture.

Why are these people so desperate to find some external factor for autism?

This stopgap bill would absolutely have enough votes to pass in the House and the only reason McCarthy won't bring it to a vote is because the hard liners would motion to vacate the speakership. So the US will be plunged into chaos all because one guy doesn't want to lose his title. Cool democracy.

I instantly read this in Pam and Cheryl's voices. And now I'm trying to map the entire Archer cast to their Baldur's Gate counterparts.

A political party is a collection and assemblage of individuals who share a set of beliefs and principles and policy views about the United States of America.

Remember when the Republican party simply didn't put out a party platform running up to the 2020 election? They released a one page document that just said "We stand for whatever Donald Trump wants." That was weird, huh?

"Sorry son, little Johnny across the street is willing to go trick or treating for only two pieces of candy per hour, so I'm taking him instead."

Who is this message even for? Not the workers obviously. Does it instill the investors with confidence? "Production is so poorly managed and staffed that we have to rely on people working overtime." Does it increase demand? "Come buy these vehicles assembled by overworked, sleep-deprived line workers, hope it works out if you get in an wreck!" It's entirely for his own ego.

It's really too bad Kroger discontinued "The Fizzicist".

Exactly this.

"Sorry Mr. President, the policies you enacted during the triple hurricane saved thousands of lives, but the drug test you took beforehand were positive for mood stabilizers so we've invalidated your policies and everyone who was saved by them has been taken out back and shot."

This isn't the fucking Olympics. But then debates are a terrible way to judge a president to begin with.

Corporate needs you to find the difference between this woman and TurboTax.

I need a way to "preview" the interior of the new ship without having to confirm everything, walk back to my ship, then walk back to the mechanic when it's inevitably not what I want.

How many of them changed their minds when they were told that DJT is, in fact, over the age of 75?

Now? Biden has been losing in swing state polls since January. The debate was supposed to move the needle in his direction. That's why all this talk about "oh his debate performance didn't affect his polling" is so infuriating.

Correct. It didn't move the needle. He's still losing. He needs to go.

No, charging other people so that you can take advantage of a loophole is called Tax Preparation

Just before the vote was about to begin, Rep. Max Miller of Ohio, one of Santos' Republican colleagues, sent an email to the full Republican conference, writing that he and his mother were victims of credit card fraud tied to Santos' campaign and that he would be voting to remove Santos.

"Neither my Mother nor I approved these charges or were aware of them," Miller wrote in the email obtained by NPR. "We have spent tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees in the resulting follow up."

It's literally because it was starting to affect them personally.

Is this what having an aneurysm feels like?

He'll be convicted of at least some of the counts, but will immediately begin appealing the decision and won't face any consequences before the election.

Maybe the fact that he's now a "convicted felon" will sway some people, but my guess is that most will simply move their own internal goalposts "since it's still being decided on appeal"

I only wish they had an option for time based auto saves. Realized too late that it's based on milestones and had to relevel every character after a tpk.
