You unfortunately have to play by the rules of the game as it exists before you can have the control to change the rules for the future.

She cant be VP, it’s tacky to nominate your VP to the Supreme Court. ;)

I’ve been thinking that this would be an intriguing matchup. A prosecutor against someone running to escape prosecution and Buttigieg is super quick and would be a great counterpoint for JD Vance.

Harris has given some great speeches lately and seems much more engaging than before.

I was reading somewhere that this really only affects a tiny number of people because there were other charges that they chose not to charge some of them with and now can use that instead, and this was only one charge amongst many that will keep others that were already charged in jail. I was really surprised when I learned about that that. This isn’t a situation where a bunch are going to get out now because of this.

Edit: this wasn’t it, but is a has a portion of the details. https://www.npr.org/2024/06/28/nx-s1-5022883/supreme-court-hands-a-victory-to-some-january-6-defendants

It was more a joke about the people who keep uploading videos of them “offroading” in their cybertrucks (trying to justify their purchase) and it’s really no different than a whole lot of actual rural roads that people drive on daily with their 20 year old two wheel drives sedans.

Probably need them for off-roading on rural gravel roads.

Always have. Just used to be more subtle about it.

He looks more and more like a Dick Tracy villain every time I see a picture of him.

Sure, but Who Wants to Live Forever? There's no chance for us, it's all decided for us. This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us.

There aren’t many, but I can name at least a few like Tim Miller, Adam Kitzinger, Geoff Duncan, and Sarah Longwell.

Enough to make a big swing politically? Maybe not. But they are out there.

Isn’t that just a merkin?

If you enjoy reading, !Books@Lemmy.world is pretty active place to discuss what you’re reading and review it or get recommendations.

I try to post significant price drops routinely to !ebookdeals@literature.cafe as well. I mostly post ones that I have heard good things about / read myself and really enjoyed and are valid at all 3 big US ebook retailers, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon at the same time or Humble Bundles. There’s no rule against others posting deals they endorse for other regions or other books, I just wanted to avoid it being a firehouse of spammy links and I only shop US Stores.

Can I petition to just have you adopt all of Minnesota?

That’s false, in 2000 there was 84,999. Elvis faked his own death to get a piece of the impersonator action.

It’s actually not, which makes it a worse response. It wasn’t overturned by a court which is what state decisis applies to (Stare decisis is the doctrine that courts will adhere to precedent in making their decisions.) Dred Scott was overturned by the 13th & 14th amendments.

Yes, an incredibly racist ruling is a great comparison to dismantling the administrative state, removing personal healthcare choices, and regulatory authority.

Stare Decisis is for losers.

The debate was too late to hire a child to read the questions. Would have conflicted with bed time.

The quote of the night: “President Trump, the question was…”

Oh yeah, Frank is highly flawed; but his new “job” as an undecided focus group “expert” gives me a little hope.
