"Dizzyingly" was certainly a choice. The dizzyingly fast thing about it is the prior requirements put in place to discourage democracy.

Pretty sure the threat is the police and NG taking pot shots at protesters who are doing nothing wrong.

According to SCOTUS, it is defacto sex discrimination

They appear to think Title 9 doesn't affect the VA, which it definitionally does. Even their hand picked justice Gorsuch says refusing treatment while taking government funds for gay people is discriminating against their sex. EG: Carol can marry a man, but Jimmy can't, so this is sex discrimination against the employee.

This is the fight Democrats were MIA (or fighting against) on for decades, now being led by their constituents and the occasional progressive.

I would expect nothing less from the person who openly harassed AOC on the capitol steps. Bullies are just little bitches when there's even a chance that the power dynamic can flip and they might be held accountable.

In practice I agree, but the crime of the left is being correct too early. I feel like that will play to our disadvantage when the media has cemented lies already that we'd be (I think) persecuted for correcting.

Lol Walz doesn't seem like the perp walk type of governor, but it would be pretty badass given that he was on the hit list. Maybe that's my bias, but Adams looked like a doofus when he did it. Dunno who the mayors of the places are.

It would be trivial to use as an ugly external keyboard for a compatible laptop, but to use it as USB is probably not as easy as hooking it to a standard motherboard header so it'll cost more than a cheap keyboard to get working.

Most of the dictator talk happened before that, but yes, the loudest talking heads having a falling out with Trump definitely make them second guess how things are playing out. Some of the most loyal Trump and Elon people are trying to reconcile and coming up blank which is a great thing, albeit sad for them not seeing it when it was news during Trump term 1

I used to wonder, but after how many people I saw talking about the Epstein files and Trump after Elon brought them up as if this is a new accusation, I no longer think they have vision or hearing outside of their safe spaces.

Connecting this back to the rural republican divide: They seem to have come to the conclusion that Trump wants to be a dictator entirely by listening to him and other Republicans.

Lol, fair enough. I will say, though, there's a divide amongst small town republicans. They pick and choose things from Trump, but for some, it's teetering to think of him as a dictator. I can't say the percentage because unlike their passive racism, they keep those statements to only close friends or people they know will agree.

I never thought about it that way. Great take. If empathy is tied to percentage of wealth donated then surely the middle or middle upper is the winner, but in terms of what one wishes to give, I find it hard to believe from my experience with extremely impoverished people that they wouldn't give more if they could.

I'll never forget a guy in Chicago that while we were checking out a pizza place he walked up, obviously struggling, but was highly recommending the place and gave me a free slice because he was full after his first one. I didn't want to take it but eventually did because it seemed important to him. I think about him often.

That's funny, I see a lot of good faith answers here, but keep pretending you're a victim every time your identity as a class traitor is called into question. Your answer is, "Don't ask that question here. I also have no fucks to give to answer as the only enlightened person here." so who's more bad faith amongst us again?

This is not true at all. Poor people are incredibly empathetic and forgiving. The middle class is a mixed bag but mostly just want to understand why and how to avoid it in the future. Rich people are a mixed bag, too, but most of the biggest assholes are rich.

This is from experience as a banker for many years. Whenever I had bad news (fees for example) for a poor person, they just looked sad. Whenever I had bad news for a rich person 1/3 of the time, they'd want me fired for being the messenger, 1/3 they disappear to talk to a higher up, and 1/3 they grumble and accept it. There are exceptions in every gro. Some rich folks were super nice, some middle class people were nightmares, but there was never a poor person who took it out entirely on the low tier employees.

I think there's solidarity that the decision comes from others and it's out of our hands. This may also be because I never told them bad news without advocating for them behind the scenes and understanding the whole sequence of events first. Probably over half the time I got the fees revoked since it was an accident or bad timing on something the bank did. Since we were a small bank, I had more power than big banks would allow.

In illinois, there was a head count of 400 in a town of 800, so maybe.

If pressure from your fingers doesn't fix it, a lighter won't either. You'll need a heat gun to remove the screen to fix it anyways, so you'll find out what heat does to the edges (where these faults occur) regardless.

They did. Lol guys I think cops suck too, I just don't think this is the example to really highlight it.

When you devote 30 minutes to a detailed answer about something you're passionate about and refresh to find "permanently deleted"

To be fair, he shot at them. I don't know if we can immediately blame the cops for this one.
