As much as those networks helped him by ignoring half of what he said and going over everything Harris said with a fine-toothed-comb, it's kind of funny watching it bite them in the ass.
If they would have shown how weird he really is compared to Harris they wouldn't be in this mess right now.
But they just couldn't resist the ratings generated by normalizing him and keeping the race tight.
Now they're going to lose more than they gained from that ratings spike.

Ragebait.
People are more likely to correct someone else on incorrect information or call them out on low effort content because it satisfies an innate human need for validation.
In this case validating one's own intelligence. People like to feel smart and the easiest way to achieve that feeling is to make someone else look less smart.

Did he do it just to get attention?
Probably.
But I don't see any harm in calling him out for it anyway.
First, if we don't call him out it normalizes that kind of behavior.
Second, if we're paying more attention to him than Trump it's going to hasten their inevitable falling out.

If he did it once, it would have been an extremely low but still non-zero chance that it wasn't a Nazi salute.

He did it twice though, it's now firmly a 0% chance of any kind of coincidence, misunderstanding, etc.

Thus far he's made no comment, not even to deny the Nazi intent.
No apology, no backtrack, no denial, he did it twice.
It was exactly what it appeared to be and nothing less.

Are eggs cheaper because of this?

I seriously expect him to be back in jail for committing a new crime, or dead from a shootout with the police before Trump's term is up.
These idiots are emboldened and they probably don't understand that they were pardoned for that one crime and will think that their "celebrity" status and "get out of jail free" card will take them anywhere.

Might turn out to be a good thing in the end.
If European countries lose their dependence on the US military for protection then the US is going to have less power directing policies outside it's own borders.

Trump and those who will follow him if he indeed does make it so we "never have to vote again", they will have less power to drag the rest of the world in that direction.

President musk will be pissed, how is he supposed to sell his overpriced electric trash without government subsidies?

I've seen this posted a few times and there's always comments explaining how this is actually Biden's fault.
Don't get me wrong, I know he wasn't the best president but if anyone thinks he was as bad or worse than Trump, they're delusional.
I wish I was disappointed with another 4 years of an ineffective centrist who didn't do enough to prevent the genocide.
Instead we have to watch as we actively participate in, and facilitate, the acceleration of the extermination.

Ask them to pay you for the holiday and overtime for your time worked, they'll suggest you take a day off real quick.

You're telling me I can sell the subreddits I abandoned when I left Reddit?!

Your gut flora

We have a specific amendment that the right likes to shove in our faces as being designed to prevent tyranny.
It's a goddamn shame we won't use it.

It's still valid today.
Payroll fucked up and I didn't get a deposit a few weeks back. They gave me the choice of waiting 2 weeks and having the deposit added to my next paycheck, which is totally undoable, or they would cut me a paper check that day.
I took the paper check.
I decided it would be easiest if I could use my Bank apps Mobile deposit but it only allowed me to access $500 of it that day, the rest had to wait until the next business day which was Monday.
If I would have thought about it I would have done it this way so I could have had access to the whole check before the weekend.

When they eventually deorbit the space station they'll need a way to close and lock the door from the outside when everyone else is out.
Yes, they won't need an atmosphere if there are no people on board but undocking the station side hatch open would cause it to vent the atmosphere and anything not tied down. This could cause the station to spin uncontrollably and potentially do damage to the return craft with the crew on board.
So there must be some sort of way to manipulate the lock from the outside on at least one of the docking ports.
This would also be necessary in an event where they needed to evacuate the station.

He doesn't, 0.08 for normal drivers, 0.04 for pilots/CDL drivers.
In my state it's OVI (Operating Vehicle Impaired) and you can get one on a bicycle, canoe, or horse. it doesn't even have to have a motor.

Some of it probably is, most of the bright spots are probably flakes of hot tiles and molten stainless coming inside the bay from holes burnt between the flaps and fuselage (really bright patches on the sides)
