To be fair, he’s also breaking Pennsylvanian lottery laws which he could be prosecuted for on a state level.

I’m more interested in wtf is a “Devin Nunes”?? Almost gives me cow vibes, but idk.

Is this actually real? If so the brain worm thing is not even a joke anymore, they must have done some serious neurological damage because that’s messed up.

Good on her for turning out to be what seems like a very reasonable human being, must be hard coming from someone like him, but I presume he had no part in raising her so maybe it makes sense.

Website for pirating books. A godsend for me during university, where I saved 100s of dollars per semester, while getting the books in a digital format which I prefer.

If she couldn’t win the primary, how can she win the general? Not like AIPAC will just stop influencing the election.

The SpaceX rocket unfortunately isn’t powerful enough to launch anything into the sun, but yes.

Because there are 9 justices, so there would be a new appointment every 2 years, giving every presidential term two appointments. So it will exactly avoid all that shit this way.

Interesting how you could change the label on this map to be literal anything good/bad and it would be accurate in almost all cases. Maybe both parties are not the same after all.

Yeah, I was so confused and couldn’t understand if this was some ultra-racist news article or something.

As a European progressive I obviously don’t worship Biden, but I have really come to respect him and he has been nothing but a class act throughout his whole term. He is stepping down and handing over the reins, now is as good a time as ever to recognize him as a - quite surprisingly honestly - good president.

This decision really raises my opinion of Biden so much. God damn do I love that man, he is truly a great person who dedicated his life to serve his country, literally. He honestly had a great term given the circumstances, and the only thing he probably should have done differently is to not run for reelection to begin with. But he seemed to genuinely believe he could win and stave off Trump. Now that that seemed impossible, he makes a very courageous decision that a lot of people probably wouldn’t have made and puts the country ahead of his ego. Lots of respect from me, and I hope this reinvigorates the democratic base and makes the future brighter for all of us.

I don’t really think that’s true. I think you could offer him a large sum of money to do the right thing and he still wouldn’t do it. It’s not even like the bribes are that huge. John Oliver tried, and I know that it was too public of course, but I still think if some rich progressive person were to offer him 10 million dollars or something to not be a huge POS he still wouldn’t take the offer cause he also just happens to be a huge POS. Like the bribes are nice, but he does also just personally want to make America a christofascist hellhole.

Dutch and Danish are not the same language. So yeah, the Danish scientist published in Danish, not Dutch.

Well, he’s not paying until the appeals process is over, which presumably will go way into the next presidential term.

Just because you’re a felon doesn’t mean you’re not a citizen and part of the country. As such, you should be able to partake in democracy in all possible ways as well.

I really dislike this punitive mindset of completely ruining someone’s life for being convicted of a crime. People make mistakes, but we don’t want to exclude them from society, we want to reform them and bring them back in. So yeah, I think, even excluding all this political bs, that no person should have their right to vote or run taken from them.

Surely, hopefully, he is either dead or in prison in 2028, anything else would be a disgrace.

Doesn’t the Obergefell decision confirm that discrimination based on sexual orientation by definition is discrimination based on sex, and therefore illegal under the civil rights act? So why should this be allowed?

We have a great saying in Danish for people like you: “Thief thinks everyone steals”. Just because you think money’s all that matters doesn’t mean that applies to everyone.
