Listen to the fucking poll results. Good god. Joe Biden was even more milquetoast than Harris and he garnered 9 million more votes. Harris is left of Biden. That's a fact. So the only reasonable explanation is that either Harris didn't have enough campaign time (I think a few months is plenty) or older voting Americans don't want to vote for a woman/POC.

By your logic, since she's more left leaning than Joe, she should have been able to garner more popular support but that didn't happen. 16+ years down the road if Dems can hold the office for that long AND have shored up protections for social programs AND removed blanket immunity from the executive branch, I have absolutely no problem with AOC. But until they're able to gain a more stable foothold in the current political climate, you're just going prematurely kill their one shot at a presidential run. That's all you typically get is one chance. If Trump loses in 2016, he doesn't come back in 20 and 24.

It could, but the democratic party is okay with his performance. They're not going to bankroll attack ads on their own incumbent senator, so whoever tries to primary him would need to finance their own campaign.

No one runs against him and even if someone were, he's the incumbent with party backing and all of the name recognition that comes with the decades of doing it.

I don't understand why people are so fucking thick to not understand this. If we're so lucky to have a fair and free election in 2028, we can't risk global stability to prove the DNC wrong by relying on a notoriously racist and misogynistic population of voters to choose a female person of color. Despite being one of the most qualified and intelligent members of congress, an AOC ticket is doomed to fail by her demonization by mainstream media and social media manipulation and propaganda.

Okay. Don't conflate this with me supporting ICE or the fascio-authoritarian state.....BUT, lots of wealthy Americans are traveling to Mexico for healthcare because it's cheaper, faster, and in some cases just flat out better. I hope this is the case for the kid. If it is, she may have hit the lottery when she needed it most. They get a free ticket out of the US, potentially better healthcare, and maybe a shit load of money for the government ignoring her rights.

Fuck republicans, but also, what in the absolute fuck is this?

Another part of the deal was that House Republicans said they wouldn’t take action to remove Democratic Rep. Brad Tabke, whose narrow 14-vote win in November was called into question when election officials discovered they’d accidentally thrown out 21 absentee ballots without counting them.

Even if all 21 ballots ended up being votes for the challenger, they should and need to be counted.

As opposed to a sex cult that is under control? /s

I'm not going to kill your dream but be careful. Lots of it would probably be covered in hydrazine which is super duper toxic.

I don't want Walz anywhere fucking near a presidential run. He's associated with the highest stakes loss in world history. And part of the reason why is because the biggest thing he had going for him is that he seemed awfully similar to a middle-aged dad. I'm not on board with that experiment again. Harris and Walz had one shot at it and they blew it. Sucks, but that's life. It will need to be someone completely disassociated from Harris-Walz and the current democratic party elites.

Hey, on the bright side she has an opportunity to make a sone money. Either through a potential lawsuit (doubt.) or the smarter option: oil on canvas artwork of her experience in the detention center. Her story is global now and the notoriety may boost the sale price.

Thanks! I'll have to check it out when I get back home. I'll leave this post up as a resource cause I do think there's some valuable information in here still.

Top Gear UK seasons 1-22

I've checked and that's not true of the public trackers I use.

Ripping. I've searched the sidebar for guides but nothing jumps out to me. I'm sure I could find it eventually, but I don't necessarily want to waste a couple hours browsing if someone knows where to look off the top of their head already. Any help is appreciated obviously!

So that all that's left in America is dipshits and bountiful breeders. That's a recipe for Idiocracy.

Fair enough! I just like being able to break the routine every now and then to do something new. It's actually becoming a bit of an issue 😅. I'd love a space on my kitchen wall to display all the different brew methods I have and would like to collect more. Right now I've got a gaggia classic pro for espresso, Bialetti for moka, a pour over brewer, cold brew carafe, this vacuum brewer, aeropress, a chemex, and just a regular ol' drip machine that's kinda been retired by now. I'd love to find an affordable Europiccola to refurbish!

Woof. Cold brew has the highest caffeine content of any other brew method. You probably drank 4-5 times the amount of caffeine you're used to lol

My breakfast is an over easy egg on homemade toast every morning. It's relatively low calorie and contains a good amount of protein to give me a feeling of fullness. Eggs are great sources of protein and aren't as damaging to the environment as something like bacon, ham, or sausage.

It's been built into the culinary culture of the United States. Just as much as beans for breakfast in the UK or pasta in Italy. Hell, even carbonara was born in Italy during the second world war because Americans asked italians to make hearty american meals with pasta and eggs. Its probably because America was/is so large that many households used to raise chickens for an easy source of protein when meat wasn't as easily transported in the 1800s and early 1900s. All you needed was a backyard, a coop to keep them safe from raccoons/foxes/hawks/etc., and food. Its not as common now but maggots are an excellent food source for chickens and it's super simple to build a "maggot farm" with compost. Plus you would get free dirt for the garden out of it.

This is when 12ft.io comes in handy or if that doesn't seem to work, I just ignore whatever they were trying to get me to read. No news article is ever that important.

You're right about it not going anywhere, but its because Amazon uses USPS as a subcontractor to deliver packages that they can't deliver reliably. Not because any of the current administration give a shit about the Constitution or what it has to say about the USPS.
