But the core is a bunch of people who have been convinced that sacrificing one less important interest will give them a big win in passionately held goal.

The core of the GOP didn't want Trump.

The American right has, since the founding of the Republic, been bent on creating a system of hereditary aristocrats, who govern without "interference" from democratic institutions, so that their power to extract wealth from First Nations, working people, and the land itself is checked only by rivalries with other aristocrats.

I wonder if he thinks Chevron deference was a democratic institution.

He’s not pro-gun.

I just said that.

Neither is he anti-gun.

I'm not very convinced of that.

"It takes so long to go to court to get the due process procedures I like taking the guns early like in this crazy man's case that just took place in Florida he had a lot of firearms and they saw everything to go to court would have taken a long, long time so you could exactly what you're saying but take the guns first, go through due process second." - Trump

He’s pro-Trump.

I wouldn't argue with that.

Why take a chance on Biden getting replaced with a good candidate?

The bump stock ban overturned by the Supreme Court was put in place by Trump. He is not pro-gun.

He is responsible for a lot of policies that resulted in the mass incarceration we have today.

Biden works with far-right Republican Sen. Strom Thurmond and the Reagan Administration to pass the Comprehensive Control Act. The law expands federal drug trafficking penalties and civil asset forfeiture, allowing police to seize a person’s property without proving them guilty of a crime. Two years later, Biden co-sponsors the 1986 Anti-Drug Abuse Act, which creates new mandatory minimum sentences for drugs, including the notorious 100:1 sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine. A conviction of possession of powder cocaine with intent to distribute carries a five-year sentence for 500 grams, while the same conviction for crack carries a five-year sentence for only 5 grams, so the harshest penalties are enacted on low-level drug sellers and impoverished drug users.

The controversial legislation known as the 1994 Crime Bill is Biden’s most significant contribution to the expansion of policing the drug war. The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, written by Biden, increases funds for police and prisons, fueling an expansion of the federal prison population. It also newly applies the federal death penalty to 60 crimes, including large-scale drug trafficking and drive-by-shootings resulting in death. Biden brags after the law passes that “the liberal wing of the Democratic Party” is now for “60 new death penalties,” “70 enhanced penalties,” “100,000 cops,” and “125,000 new state prison cells.”

What's the felony charge for protesting called?

I read that he could be taken off the ballot in some places, but I haven't verified that.

That's not true. There are other felons with a chance at winning, they just haven't been convicted yet.

Fuck Paxton

Don't worry about it.

Definitely.

What is your point?

Sadly nothing Boeing has done is criminal in the US even though it absolutely should be.

I doubt that you know whether Boeing has or has not broken any laws.

The internet archive has worked reliably for me, but I am definitely checking this out.

I spoke with several employees of Sweet Baby Inc. to learn what the company actually does and how the misunderstanding of its role in the industry highlights a far broader problem.

You don't know what Sweet Baby Inc. does, but you assume the people complaining about SBI must be incorrect? Do journalists in any other sector of the market fall all over themselves rushing to defend companies like they do in game development?

Eating, getting dressed, and talking with real people are all good things for your mental health. Typing on a keyboard doesn’t help, otherwise we’d be the least depressed generation ever.

I agree that typing on a keyboard isn't a substitute for therapy. Writing can serve as an creative outlet for emotion in the same way as music or painting.

Well, I'm sure you're right.

I assume that OP isn't sleeping with the wrist wearing the watch underneath the pillow their wife has her head on.

Pulling your arm from under a pillow someone is using seems very likely to disturb them and wake them. You're not doing that, OP, right?

I can't imagine that you can get out of bed without waking your wife if your smartwatch vibrating wakes her up.
